So, Paul Ryan Is a Fan of Rage Against The Machine, Is He?


That's what he claims. Odd thing is, the $ media practically ignored this biographical revelation. I'm sure they must be familiar with the content of that band, being the alert ideological watchdogs that they are.

Rage Against The Machine was a radical, anti-capitalist band that explicitly attacked the exploitative system of oppression enforced by the U.S. They even targeted specific U.S. corporations by name in the song “Wind Below” on the Evil Empire album. (And the empire they meant wasn't the U.S.S.R.!) They also cursed a lot. The dyed-in-the-wool capitalists I know hate RATM.

Ryan saying he's a fan of RATM is like Adolf Hitler revealing that in his spare time he liked to dance the hora. It's really rather stunning. I've have thought Ted Nugent would be more his cup of tea. Or a gay-basher like Axl Rose.

What is he, a closet commie?

Isn't someone like Ryan supposed to enjoy, oh, I don't know, country and western, or gospel, or maybe Lawrence Welk? (Ok that was a low blow. How about The Eagles then?)

Ryan was made to do a bit of squirming over the fact that his intellectual lodestar, Ayn Rand, was an atheist. The media made sure to bring that up. But liking RATM is no problem? It's not just a brand of beer, bourgeoisie!
