Most people see Ayn Rand as nuts, kind of a right-wing version of Karl Marx (who was also nuts). Any serious national organization should do all it can to distance itself from her and her followers.
If the Tea Party embraces Randian values, then it will have become anti-Christian. Talk all you want about what she meant, but 99 people out of 100 will always believe Rand was hostile to religious beliefs.
As a religious person, I would be more comfortable living in a benevolent monarchy with a state church. The King represents God on earth – heaven is not a democracy. Living in a republic is fine, but has its unique challenges.
