“These aspects of Rand made her alien to an earlier generation of religious conservatives who gleefully launched a “culture war” against secular America.”

Bogeyman:

an imaginary evil character of supernatural powers, esp. a mythical hobgoblin supposed to carry off naughty children.

But Rand did not have much patience for conservatives...

Exactly. She saw the modern conservative movement as just another party advancing the evolution towards socialism. And she was right.

Sad but true.
