Bush appoints Atheist to gov.post
Christropher Cox was appointed to the the Securities and Commission
by avowed Christian president Bush. Cox is follower of Ayn Rand. The
Late Ayn Rand believed in Godless Capitalism. Her philosophy:
Objectivism is based in Atheism and self-interest. I don't about
you...I smell hypocrisy, do you?

1. Two questions.
1. How do you know Cox is a "follower of" Ayn Rand?

2. Anything to say about the fact that his short bio in CQ Press's Congressional Staff Directory shows that he has a religion and it is Roman Catholic?

2. Inconclusive

Greenspan also worships at the altar of Ayn "You Came Along" Rand, but so what? If Dubya can be a self-serving and hypocritical foe of the middle class and still proclaim himself Christian, why can't Cox?

3. Assuming this is true...
....why would I think it's significant?

4. Nope. My fundy mother and (Ayn Rand) objectivist brother get along fine.
It's only MY more humanistic atheism my mother has a problem with. Reich-wingers wind up in bed with each other and don't understand that "it's the hypocrisy, stupid."
