Uh oh, warning unallowable opinions being expressed, say a recent number of similar articles being written by left-fascist mainstream media journalists (Salon, Washington Times, and Some guy) apparently seeking to create a narrative that goes like this: "Ron Paul = Ayn Rand = unconventional opinions = hates poor people = wrong." The argument, of course, is not really an argument, but the tactic kind of like "argumentum ad hitlerum" consisting of taking the most scary-sounding person they can apparently imagine, and tie them to the opposition. Why, supporting governmental initiation of force on a massive scale at home and abroad is respectable, and opposing it is just plain out of the mainstream, I tell you. And don't you know that Ayn Rand was an amoral atheist? Not allowable. Don't you know that neoconservative elitist Bill Buckley didn't like Rand either? Rome has spoken, the case is closed. Naturally, this is a medal on both Rand and Paul's chest.
