Again about Ayn Rand and Objectivism

[fpb]

E.Michael Jones is the editor and virtual one-man-band voice of CULTURE WARS magazine, an aggressive, slightly eccentric, very learned and highly conservative Catholic commentary and historical magazine. He is not to be suspected of left-wing sympathies, whatever his other intellectual sins (and I could enumerate quite a few, although I have a certain respect for him). This is what he has to say about the impact of Ayn Rand's teachings on one American university college, and incidentally about the lady herself. It is highly instructive (down to the degrading detail that Rand ignored her own parents and that they died, probably of starvation, in the siege of Leningrad/St.Petersburg).

I can't say anything about Ayn Rand, but P.J. O'Rourke's writings (referenced in article) provided much entertainment for me when I was younger. Frightened the living shit out of my liberal friends; completely disgusted my (few) conservative ones. Ahhh...
