How wonderful that Ayn Rand actually led someone to the Lord even if it was unintentional! I would hope that left wingers by reading her book, Atlas Shrugged, would scramble to Conservatism in double step fashion. Life as described by Rand was a completely joyless and hopeless one!
Although Conservatism is a wonderful political philosophy, it is better to have men and women become disciples of Christ as He is. In a truly Christian society, the best of conservatism will be retained.
It was her writings (I still love Atlas Shrugged, and the Fountainhead nearly as much) that helped nudge me back to the Faith.

Not really, but it cannot be anywhere near as joyous as being a servant of God and being in His presence.
