Having self interests makes one a narcissist? That's a gross over-simplification.
Self-interest does not make one a narcissist.
I am talking specifically about the Randian philosophy that, apparently, is the driving force behind the current GOP vice presidential candidate. This is a philosophy that holds that self-sacrifice and altruism are affirmatively "evil" (that's Rand's word).
To see ostensible followers of Christ embrace a philosophy that teaches the moral wrongness of self-sacrifice is surreal.
Personally, I believe that Rand, saw Manipulation as Evil. An Atheist that Believes in Justice, Conscience, and Unalienable Right's, is not really an Atheist, huh. Maybe Deist. My bottom line, is that one thing that should Never be Sacrificed, especially for the Will of the State is Conscience, further, Salvation. That is the Ultimate Evil. She was a Whistle Blower on People Exploiting other People, for the benefit of attaining unworthily. I understand why that might offend, some.
