Reply #23: The irony is that Rand praised individualism

[question everything]

while the right wingers are the ones with the "you are either with us or against us," who are the ones demanding that we all lock step with "god" as defined by them, of course.

In the 90s I lived in Orange County, California, which used to be the bastion of libertarianism. I think that the "Ayn Rand Institute" is there, too. Yet, it was there where all the Homeowner Associations thrive, where some small minded people who managed to be elected to board tell the homeowners what color their garage door should be. And they are proud of this, as it 'preserve the value of the over priced homes."
