№ 412: Speaker Ryan

Obviously,
no one can be 
Christian
AND Libertarian.
Actively
preaching the Trinity
while claiming to be
Unitarian.

Libertarians,
for all their convictions,
tend to forget
Ayn Rand wrote fictions.
While, for their part,
Christians, at heart,
are communitarian
not in the least bit
are they libertarian.
But Ryan insists
this is what he is.
Christian
AND Libertarian,
that is.

He is THE EXPERT
so let him be.
He insists he is both
so let us agree.
To paraphrase Schiller's,
perhaps, too apt refrain:
Against stupidity the gods,
themselves, contend in vain.
