To her Reagan was a “bad guy”. If it turns out that you’re not an Ayn Rand fan, I welcome you to the small (but hopefully growing) number of FReepers who aren’t enthralled by the atheistic abortionist. And, truth be told, she ain’t all that great of a writer — unless compelling characterization consists of one-dimensional beings who are motor-mouthed chain smokers bordering on anorexia. There are far better Conservative heroes than Ayn Rand.

I am not a “fan”. I did appreciate how she saw political correctness and socialists though.

Too bad she never did figure out the good side.

I’m not particularly a fan or Rand, nor her writing, per say. I wasn’t particularly fond or Orwell either. The key is that both were able to accurately predict exactly what the left has done, and are doing.

You know, Hitler telegraphed exactly what he wanted to do in Mein Kampf. On the other hand, Rand and Orwell are predicting the direction of the left.
