This is also why objectivists/libertarians (is there really a difference?) are not conservatives. Liberty without limits is just vice in drag.
Ayn Rand explicitly disavowed conservatives and libertarians. But you knew that, right?
If given a choice of betting on a competitive pro football game, played between too teams according to the rules and refs of the game, or a call your own fouls game with no refs, I’ll go with the former. The latter, combined with upfront mandates, and backside bailouts is what gave us the housing debacle. I have great respect for Ayn Rand, but it only goes so far. I’ll take the principles of life, liberty and justice expressed through Christian values over a free for all.
