Good write-up but I wouldn't call Rand a 'heroine of the american right' libertarianism and randian objectivism only crept into the right in the 80's and 90's. It's not a permanent feature (hopefully). It mysteriously follows the introduction of the neoconservatives to right wing politics.

    as a college freshman in 1945 she joined the Young People's Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party of America, influenced by her grandfather who was a founder of the Populist and Socialist parties in Oklahoma

    Lol. A female college socialist would later go on to be a thought leader in Reagan's admin? Doesn't surprise me at all!

      Yeah my mother is a dyed in the wool liberal who can't comprehend why working class white men support republicans. To her republicans will always be fat cat big business hand out types that hate unions and hate the poor. For the life of me though I can't get it through to her the both political parties cater to big business. The WASP's decided not to really have children and many of them have been actively taken out by a new type of oligarch. The average working class person of all political views and races is getting screwed in our current system. I'm not sure if you noticed but the oligarchs had to spool up racial conflict again after the occupy wallstreet movement in 2012. I find it fascinating how they noticed that the plebs were getting to close to the source of power and had to reboot divide and conquer psyops.

      Side note: I've been doing a little lurking on your comment history. You've got a great depth of knowledge and wit. I hope you get a chance to venture over to s/debateallright and make some comments or posts. We've had some good conversations lately and I think I can speak for all the goys when I say we'd love to get your take on things.
