If his mental equation is "conservative" equals "John Bircher", than I can see where he is coming from, and I think his statements might be accurate about them, but I would disagree with the equation.

Both he and Ayn Rand developed a huge dislike of political "conservatives" for the reasons AJ stated.

From what I can tell Ayn Rand even took a dislike to many libertarians (and wouldn't call herself libertarian), anyone who would not totally accept her ideas was an opponent.

Just remember, no matter who you vote for, the government always gets in. :>)

"No doubt non-Mormon, non-Bircher William F. Buckley, Jr., once made the same troubling discovery that his creation made. Put simply, Buckley long ago had to come to terms with the fact that the John Birch Society was home to the very kooks that Lyndon Johnson and Bill Moyers once advertised Barry Goldwater to have been. Hence the National Review’s public repudiation of and divorce from the John Birch Society. "
