Nothing wrong with posting Ayn Rand. Ayn Rand is not wisdom. She was a walking talking contradiction. Her stances changed as the wind blew. Throughout the 1960s and 70s, Rand developed and promoted her Objectivist philosophy through nonfiction and speeches, [97] [98] including annual lectures at the Ford Hall Forum. [99] In answers to audience questions, she took controversial stances on political and social issues. These included supporting abortion rights, [100] opposing the Vietnam War and the military draft (but condemning many draft dodgers as "bums"), [101] [102] supporting Israel in the Yom Kippur War of 1973 against a coalition of Arab nations as "civilized men fighting savages", [103] [104] claiming European colonists had the right to invade and take land inhabited by American Indians, [104] [105] and calling homosexuality "immoral" and "disgusting", despite advocating the repeal of all laws concerning it. [106] She endorsed several Republican candidates for president of the United States, most strongly Barry Goldwater in 1964. [107] [108]
