I am making the argument that they value their Ayn Rand ideology over our nation and over WE, THE PEOPLE, and I am saying that this is pernicious and evil. And yes, traitorous.
I have flat out asked one of these Ayn Rand types whether they would persist in one of their ideological conclusions (forget which one) if it could be demonstrated conclusively that they were wrong and the the policy based on this conclusion actually hurt most Americans. The answer, without hesitation, was "of course" they would persist.
I have made a statement that they would smear Mother Teresa if she was a Democrat and guess what the response was: a thousand or so smears on Mother Teresa.
I don't see any good reason to mince words. This iteration of "conservatism" is evil. There is nothing to gain by appeasing them in any way, shape or form and it I'm approaching Godwin's Law on that, so be it. I understand Godwin's Law and the reasons behind it and generally I would agree. We are beyond the looking glass when we delve into "conservatism" so Godwin's Law be damned.
