Responce prompted by Michael R Brown, # 63.
You stated “Just about no Tea Partier says “I agree with Ayn Rand 100% as my philosopher of life.””, I can also tell you that no student of Objectivism would make that same statement! A lot of Mrs. Rands work can be looked at as a form of road map, going beyond the roads you may know. Testing her map by seeing existing places you know, with caution, you can try small steps advancing your horizon. From about 1979 until present, I have yet to find a flaw in her map. Each of us has their own context of knowledge, yet, this map will mesh up with the truth every time. Perhaps it is the “Tea Partier” that needs Mrs. Rand’s work to save what is left of the free world?
When and if the Tea Party people seek the true moral justification of rational self intrest, they will have earned the foundation required to champion our cause. Until then, many of us that could help the Tea Party advance, keep working on our own.
