Does this mean you deny the rude behavior demonstrated by the anti-Romney crowd? I do not think it is in any way constructive to call people names because we support different conservative candidates. I've been promoting conservatism since Goldwater so it is simply incorrect when folks with a couple of elections under their belt attempt to define my politics as liberal. How many Romney haters here have even read Ayn Rand? Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney were the most adherent of all the last presidential candidates to Objectivism which certainly outlines conservative principles more closely than the Evangelical Movement, and even Fred Thompson had some legislative history that could be construed as capitulating to the left. Every single candidate in the last presidential primary had some record of supporting ideas that could be construed as liberal; for whatever reason, Romney was made the scapegoat.
Even in the post to which I am responding you call me "hilarious" although your tone seems angry rather than jocular. You say it is as though I am "on some other planet whose sole purpose is to provide irony for those of us here on Earth..." but you do not offer a single example where my opinion is out of the range of normal discourse. I do not know what sort of life you lead but I am actively engaged in the real world and live my life as a conservative, self reliant personal example to young people. If I behaved as rudely as some of the anti-Romney folks have here I would never change a single heart or mind. I would only reinforce the ugly stereotype of the right being made up of hate-filled hillbillies.

Seems that the patronizing tone, the attacks and such on Thompson, Hunter and others, as well as their supporters, the calling of “idiot” “Moron” etc. as well as such gems as calling Thompson's wife a whore and a stripper all emanated from the “Wholesome Team Romney” from the get go.
So yes, it is ironic to hear it's lead members in turn cry foul...
At least to this "ignorant hillbilly"...

Um...we are the ones consistently called “bigots”, “anti-mormons”, “liars”, even on one of these threads “socialist DU infiltrators”.
I have read Ayn Rand. Agree with some things, hate her atheism.
Ancient retreads.
Let me suggest two books for you: The Holy Bible esp the New Testament and the US Constitution and other founding documents. Throw in some Solzhenitsyn while you are at your assignment.
That is all you need. Dump Rand and objectivism.
