What Is The Ideological Thinking Of The GOP
Ignorance : a lack of knowledge or information.
When a person is called ignorant, immediately they become defensive because they feel as if you're calling them stupid. But stupidity merely means being unintelligent or lacking common sense, which is completely different from just being misinformed of the facts.

I believe "conscious ignorance" can be both deadly and evil at the same time; when a person is conscious of the wrong they're doing but continue to do it anyway wouldn't this be regarded as evil?
And when evil consciousness indoctrinates other individuals -- now you have misinformed people pushing these same ideals forward, like a virus that a person gets and before you know it it's been spread faster than you can blink an eye.

When I think of the devil -- fire pits, flames, and an evil dark monstrous entity waiting to torture and devour comes to mind. When I think about God -- fluffy clouds, no pain, no struggle, and a happy aura of bright beaming light waiting to surround me with love and eternal goodness comes to mind. Both of these descriptions seem to portray a feeling of bad and good.
As Americans we know what feels good and what feels bad; we know what pain is and we know what happiness is. More often than not, I would assume the majority of Americans like to feel good.
In forty days the American people have to choose between a presidential candidate that makes you feel good about America, verses one that makes you feel not so good.

Doing away with medicare, medicaid, social security, unemployment, workers unions, voting rights, and raising taxes on the poor and the middle class just to give more money to the wealthiest Americans -- doesn't necessarily give me a good feeling. However, sustaining all these programs that Americans pay into all our lives, and continuing with a progressive agenda that will educate more people, save more lives, and make more success stories immediately erupts a good feeling from within.
My most recent bad feeling came from Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney, whose secret video recording displayed how he felt about 47 percent of Americans.
Adding insult to injury Mitt Romney vetted Republican Congressman Paul Ryan to be his Vice Presidential running mate, and even adopted Ryan's budget plan which would gouge all hard working Americans of their basic rights.
Sister Simone Campbell the director of "Nuns on the Bus" has stepped out, to call out, the Romney/Ryan ticket on their "immoral" behavior.
Immoral can be defined as vicious and vicious can be defined as deliberate cruelty or evil. When nuns began to argue that the Romney/Ryan budget plan is "evil" and "immoral", it makes you wonder why republicans think the way they do? Where does their logic come from?

Immediately, I remembered hearing Paul Ryan speak of a particular Russian writer he idolizes by the name of, Ayn Rand.
After researching this Russian philosopher this is what I've discovered; Ayn Rand (seen below) migrated from Russia to America as a young adult and became a novelist, playwright, screenwriter and philosopher. She believed that "reason" was the only way of acquiring knowledge and rejected any and all forms of faith and religion, as atheists do as non-Christ believers. Rand denounced intuition and supernatural forces, and strictly believed in things she could physically see and touch.
Paul Ryan stated that he's Catholic and his budget plan was designed around his religious beliefs, but how can that be possible if his budget plan promotes anti-Christ views?
Ayn Rand believed in "individualism" and "objectivism" which simply means every man for himself -- even if you use force and intimidation to get what you want; much like the voter suppression currently being carried out by right-wing extremists.
It makes sense why Rand wrote a book titled 'The Virtue of Selfishness', as she was staunchly against big government and entitlement programs that she felt made Americans -- as Mitt Romney called 47 percent of Americans, "moochers".
Moreover, I found it contradictory and hypocritical of Ayn Rand to denounce entitlement programs since she partook in these same programs when in her elder years; medicare and social security.
The controversial writer found her way on the board of the 'Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals' in Hollywood, California, as a way to control programs that Americans watched on television and in movie theaters. Obviously, she felt all Americans should think like her and she worked hard to push forward this agenda.
She rejected "collectivism" as negative which simply means people working together and compromising for a greater good; which may explain why republicans in Congress have refused to compromise with President Obama on many pieces of key legislation.
Republican House Speaker John Boehner even stated that he "rejects the word compromise"; is Mr. Boehner also being influenced by the philosophies of Ayn Rand?

The Russian writer also believed in the burning of all books, and felt it would help to suppress all other ideas from taking form. In 2008, Republican Governor Sarah Palin was a Vice Presidential candidate, and she too was accused by her Alaskan residents of wanting to close libraries and burn all books. This effort by Palin was fiercely desisted by her fellow Alaskans; is Sarah Palin also influenced by the teachings of Ayn Rand?
The Russian writer stood for self-interest only while not having a care in the world for other people and their happiness, but thinking solely of one's own happiness. Jesus on the other hand tells us to love one another and to help thy neighbor; could this be the reason why it was so easy for Mitt Romney to write off 47 percent of Americans, because it has nothing to do with his self-interest? Is this why the Romney/Ryan budget plan takes from the poor and gives to the rich -- which clearly illustrates Rands' teachings of taking what you want even if by force?

Ayn Rand also claimed that there was nothing wrong with the Pilgrims coming to America and killing off millions of Native Americans while stealing their land.
- Source: Ayn Rand's 'Atlas Shrugged'
For their wish to continue a primitive existence, their "right" to keep part of the earth untouched, unused and not even as property, just keep everybody out so that you will live practically like an animal, or maybe a few caves above it. Any white person who brought the element of civilization had the right to take over this continent."
Rand wasn't a popular writer and she wasn't popular among scholars, as a matter-of-fact, intellectuals viewed Rand's writings as evil, selfish, immoral, hateful, hypocritical, contradictory and above all unintellectual. But Rand's literary works have become extremely popular within the Republican party; there's even an Ayn Rand Institute headquarters located in Irvine, California.
Furthermore, because Ayn Rands' writings were regarded as unintellectual and since the Republican party seems to follow her ideological thinking, is this the reason why Fox News is known for having the most misinformed viewers?
We have a Republican US Congressman running for the Vice Presidency, and who will most surely use the teachings of Ayn Rand to run this country. A Romney/Ryan ticket would bring pollution, diseases and an overall toxic nation!
Senator Chuck Schumer described the Ryan Budget plan as "slash and burn" politics, with regards to them doing away with sanitation workers that keep our communities clean, police officers that keep our streets safe and teachers that educate our children. America would become a third world country of sweat shop workers and slaves while those at the very top benefit off the blood, sweat and tears, of the laborers who will produce their products and services at slave wages.
These men claim to believe in God but then follow the teachings of a woman who openly admitted that she's anti-Christ. My question to the American people is, "what are we really dealing with?"
