GOP regards selfishness as a virtue
Republicans praise Ayn Rand. Rand Paul is named after her. Ayn Rand released a book titled, "The Virtue of Selfishness." She idolized William Hickman, a cold-blooded child murderer. (Source: Thom Hartmann)
This week, Donald Trump said he would invade Libya to take the oil. Whatever happened to "Thou Shalt Not Steal"? He doesn't even pretend to be honorable.

Oops, according to Wikipedia: "Despite his father's libertarian views and strong support for individual rights, the novelist Ayn Rand was not the inspiration for Paul's first name; he went by 'Randy' while growing up. His wife shortened his name to 'Rand'."
Though their quotes might be spun a bit, Ron Paul and Rand Paul do appear in this YouTube video, "The Truth About GOP Hero Ayn Rand":
