LOL! The truth is that you attacked her with the irrational statement that your rage and hostility was justified because the liberals you ran with did not like her and considered her "mean". When asked for clarification you posted a quote she had a fictional character say about capitalism and socialism which did not provide any evidence of meanness. And you posted a quote against democracy which was no different than thousands of quotes against democracy from great authors with august reputations. Oh, and you have also said that some authors have said some bad things against her. When I explained that most people who actually KNEW her over time had very charitable things to say about her, the implications slipped right past you. Now you apparently think that calling me religious rather than defending your assertions lends some magical weight to your assertions. Of course it does not. You have not quoted anything said by Ayn Rand (and she said a lot) that proves any rationality behind your hostility. I was of course curious to see if your arguments would rise above, "I hate her and so do my friends" but I was not surprised when you made no real effort to twist her words out of shape. After all, her sentences are pretty hard to twist. But that is ok. I know what she stood for so I know what it is you really hate even if you seem to have trouble finding the words to fill in the lines you keep leaving blank. And you have every right to hate her. She would be the first to tell you so
