re: I will never understand why Ayn Rand is so admired by my fellow conservatives

what you actually know about Ayn Rand could literally fit on the head of a pin.

you do seem to be good at regurgitating the right wing gobbeldy asian of the Robertson-Buchanan crowd of religious idiot zealots that need everyone to agree with them.

grats on your stupidity of what Rands philosophical tenets are, meritocracy is it's own reward and doesn't need approval from idiots like you to substantiate it, no wonder you are so confused and simultaneously afraid of it.

the conservative mindset often focuses on spiritual and moral foundations.

more like focuses on why everyone should agree with your concept of what is "spiritual" or moral.

which is why "conservatives" aren't really for individual freedom, you are part of a group think collective of right wingers with no real concept of individualism, you need a religion to bow down to because, let's face it, that's what you are good at, submitting to state condescension where the state and your religion are much the same.

Conservatives at first were horrified of her ideas, and rightly so.

yes, conservatives who are used to being led around by their nose are horrified at the thought of having to think for themselves or that someone else might choose to do so rather than go along with your "all for the greater glory of god" bs.

Yep, we know right wing statists like you are every bit as dangerous as the left wing variety, and are in so many ways, very much alike.
