I would again remind all that when you see Paul Ryan interviewed tonight to not forget that he

is channeling Ayn Rand. This is his foremost characteristic! At one time he required all his legislative staff to read Ayn Rands screeds. This is who he is and why he was condemned but the Catholic Nuns association for promulgation of policies that were cruel to children.

Ayn Rands most elemental ascertain is basically that the weak should just die. That means YOU. If you are disabled, die. If you are uneducated, die. If you are a different color than the approved color, die. If you speak the wrong language, die. If you are of the wrong political thought, die.

The list can go on. He has come to realize that having exposed Ayn Rands teachings can have negative consequences for him, so he now avoids, evades and disclaims. Don't be fooled, he is still in the bag for Ayn Rand and her cavalcade of death to all who don't fit in.

and that if you really love someone, you'll not give them a thing and make them scratch and scrape and work hard for everything.

it's basically a childishly selfish greed-is-good fantasy that most people outgrow by sophomore year in college, if they ever got sucked into it at all.

GOP Rep. Mo Brooks says town hall protests may prevent Obamacare repeal

Story highlights

"I don't know if we're going to be able to repeal Obamacare now because these folks who support Obamacare are very active," Brooks said.
"And you may not even see a vote to repeal Obamacare, you might see something where they call it a repeal but really it's an amendment," he added.

(CNN)Republican Rep. Mo Brooks said Thursday that protests at town halls around the country might prevent Republican lawmakers from repealing the Affordable Care Act.


"I'll tell you, Toni, there are a, in my opinion, a significant number of congressmen who are being impacted by these kinds of protests and their spine is a little bit weak," the Alabama congressman said in an interview on "The Morning Show with Toni & Gary" on WBHP 800 Alabama radio. "And I don't know if we're going to be able to repeal Obamacare now because these folks who support Obamacare are very active, they're putting pressure on congressman and there's not a counter-effort to steel the spine of some of these congressmen in tossup districts around the country."


Brooks continued, "And you may not even see a vote to repeal Obamacare, you might see something where they call it a repeal but really it's an amendment. You and I have talked about this before. We need an outright repeal of Obamacare and then whatever's gonna come after it, fine, let's have that discussion. But this monstrosity needs to be repealed and right now, in my judgment, we don't have the votes in Congress to pass a repeal bill, in part because of what these people are doing."

Since Donald Trump's inauguration, protesters have disrupted town halls held by Republican legislators, with the potential repeal of Obamacare emerging as one of the most controversial issues. Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz claimed that protesters are out to "bully and intimidate" lawmakers.


Brooks similarly painted a grim portrait of the protests, claiming that there were "some anarchist types, criminal element types, disruptor types," though he described a meeting he held on Wednesday with local leaders of "Indivisible," a national organizing group that opposes President Trump's agenda, as a "polite exchange of ideas."



Brooks also expressed concern that neither House Speaker Paul Ryan nor the White House are fully behind repeal of President Obama's healthcare law, comparing Ryan's position on the issue to his position on so-called "amnesty" for undocumented immigrants.......................

ryan needs to live by his standards and just die. The largest group vastly out numbers people that believe in this rand bull shit. So since he's in a minority, he needs to die period.
