Oh, but she does (note anti-Arab racism in her tone)

I didn't see anything in that article that she wrote.

From George W Bush and his supporters? Ask a conservative, they aren't. They're big government neo-cons. Conservatives dislike neo-cons just as liberals dislike neo-liberalism.

Ayn Rand hated collectives and collectivists. A lot. That's why they are all portrayed as weak, stupid strawmen in her novels.

That's them!

I don't understand this sentence. Ask a conservative what? Who's 'they', and what is it you're saying they aren't?

Okay. I don't see anything indicating liberals are more troubled by dissent, though.

I don't know much about Ayn Rand but learning for you folks it's obvious this person is by no definition a Christian nor understands what real christian society was like. I'm personally concearned that people actually think this person is a christian because Ayn says he is when it's obvious this person really isn't a christian at all. I guess-and-gather the only real reason why this person hasn't spoken against the church is because hes's stated he's a christian and he knows his ideas are not mainstream christian, meaning it could only hurt his name. Personally, I think this guys a wack-job and no christian whatsoever. It also angers me that he tries to protect his stupid philosophy with his BS claim he's a christian follower. It's even more a damn shame people today are shallow enough to think their christians and have a free choice to support Ayn Rayden.

The Truth Is, Morality cannot be defined by individual choice. Christianity like all religions unites people together is the foundation of many countries. Religion is one of the most important aspects of a country. A common religion is a keystone in helping to ensure the survival of a country.
