Exactly.

People, you are in error worshipping this woman.

She was not a conservative.

A conservative is a classic liberal.

Ayn Rand was not even close to believing what Jefferson and our founding fathers believed.

She had ZERO concept of the importance of society.

To Rand, it is everybody for themselves. Me, me, me.

Selfishness is not a conservative virtue.

It is the liberals who always go on about what they want, not conservatives.

Honoring and/or appreciating is not the same thing as worshipping.

She was not a conservative.

Certainly not in the social(ist) conservative meaning of the word.

Ayn Rand was not even close to believing what Jefferson and our founding fathers believed.

Can you be more specific and provide some references, or are you just being inflammatory? That whole individual liberty theme which pervades the works of both seems to falsify your claim, but I'm open to correction.

Hold that thought for a sec...

To Rand, it is everybody for themselves. Me, me, me.

...okay, this is starting to sound familiar...

It is the liberals who always go on about what they want, not conservatives.

No, liberals go on about "the importance of society" and how, with conservatives, "it is everybody for themselves. Me, me, me.". THAT'S what liberals sound like.

Happy Birthday, Ms. Rand.
