I don’t want to bore you with superlatives, so I’ll get to the point. IMHO, you crafted, packaged and delivered the best essay on what’s wrong with “Conservatives” that I can remember reading. That includes Rand’s essay where she led off by critiquing Democrats, then using a metaphor from Dante’s Inferno, proclaimed that there was a lower rung in Hell reserved for “Conservatives.” It’s great to have some fresh ammunition available to smoke out and counter Altruism.
