Whittaker Chambers was instrumental in sending Alger Hiss to prison. To the best of my knowledge about Miss Rand, she seduced her charge, Nathaniel and was no better than Clinton in being tyrannical with her flock.

Agreed. Whittaker was a hero. I never warmed up to Ayn; struck me as cold; and that little cult she had going - kinky!

She also got her husband to leave his then-wife-and-family for her. Not much of a role model.

Chambers was instrumental in sending Hiss to prison, but Rand was instrumental in weakening Communism. Even after Chambers renounced Communism, he said he still believed that it would ultimately win.

I know the stories about her & Branden being harsh with their 'flock', and I don't agree with that approach, but why are you focussing on personal issues instead of your view of the philosophy? I've found that if you substitute 'Reality' for 'God', there is much common ground between Objectivists and Conservatives.

What was your point in posting this article? Have you read Atlas Shrugged? Do you agree with what Chambers said about it? Or are you just trying to pick a intra-right fight?
