I said what I see in objectionists, perhaps I could have said “in general”.

I stand by my statement from what I have personally observed. Left leaning libertarian, outside of fiscal issues.

While just about all Republicans (and a lot of Conservatives) were falling all over themselves to get the Civil Rights Act passed, Ayn Rand was one of the first to oppose it as fundamentally anti-Constitutional and anti-Liberty. She predicted it would simply replace Jim Crow with a whole new set of racial preferences -- only the colors of the recipients faces would change.

How is that Left leaning?

I can't imagine what you've observed, but there is absolutely nothing "left-leaning" about Objectivism. You can say what you want about Rand, but she detested the left. Her entire work was dedicated to destroying the left and its authoritarian, faux-altruist philosophy.

Study up on the philosophy; it will give some context to your observations.
