This is amazing. Ayn Rand was, among many other things, an atheist who who feuded with William Buckley and disliked Ronald Reagan. She believed in something called “Objectivism.” Whether she would qualify as a conservative as it's defined now is debatable. You would think that the MSM would be ambivalent or perhaps indifferent.

I haven't seen the film so I don't know the quality of it. I'm waiting for it to come out on DVD.

Yes, it is -- and has always been debated hotly. But she was pro-capitalist, pro-hard-money, pro-individualist and pro-freedom. Any one of those, let alone all of them together, would have been enough to get her works banned from the liberal media.

Liberals hate her guts, I know that.

Just a minute ago I read a liberal comment calling a young lady who works for the Goldwater institute a “Dagny Taggert wannabee” meant as an insult of course.

Anything that isn’t 100% part of “group thought” and “group speak” is to be assailed or ignored.
