THE AYN RAND STAMP WAS OKAY WITH THE AMERICAN FAMILY COUNCIL?



The American Family Council has come out strongly against the new Forever stamp honoring slain gay activist Harvey Milk.

It's funny, but I don't remember them coming out against the 33-cent stamp honoring Ayn Rand.

Ayn Rand hated kids. She didn't have any of her own, neither did most members of her inner circle. Few if any of her “heroes” in Atlas Shrugged had kids. The only child mentioned by name in Atlas Shrugged was the victim of a brutal attack, which Rand minimized because the child was “ugly.”

Rand's female hero in Atlas Shrugged, Dagny Taggart, was promiscuous. Rand herself had a lover for many years who came over and had relations with her while her husband was at home!

Rand promoted selfishness and atheism. She was particularly anti-Christ. Was there ever anyone on a U.S. stamp more anti-family than Ayn Rand?
