Papantonio: Southern States Become Ayn Rand Paradise

The following interview is from the April 28th, 2013 episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV. Republicans have a strangle hold on state governments throughout the south. Because of this, they have been able to implement all sorts of policies that would make Ayn Rand weep with joy. Ring of Fire host Mike Papantonio talks about the new Ayn Rand paradise in the south with investigative journalist Rick Outzen.

I would put in a nightmare - not a paradise.... Ayn Rand was a horrible person - and her books sucks to kingdom come.. Horrible books who should be put in a cave, thousands of meters underground - and the hole dynamited, so it never would be able to be found again...
