“I am fan of Ryan on objectivity and individual responsibility and being as free from government regulation as possible.”

Not a slam on her, but didn’t she end up broke and living on Social Security payments?

can you distinguish ideas from behavior. No one said she was perfect. But I believe she live up to her theories to some extent. Also she was virulent anti-communist.

Ayn Rand spoke out against Communism that makes people forcibly dependent upon the State.

She ended up dependent upon the State.

No conflict here. Will somebody please state the conflict?

It is the same dumb argument if a person speaks out against Big Gov’t, and they also take Social Security, then they should also be further humiliated by robbing him further.

The socialist accusers just wish to steal even more of that person's money. Socialists have no bound for their theft.

The libertarian just acknowledges dependency is bad. He also, in a rate moment of keenness, will estimate how much money the State actually stole from him.

Something a socialist could never calculate in their broad ignorance. Something even most astute Freepers could also nether do.
