[Randex]A Christmas message for conservatives

[O-Land News Junkie]

Another reason for [the] apparent “Don’t bother me when in need attitude” among conservatives could be a perverse interpretation of the Ayn Randian glorification of the individual. If one believes that individuality is sacrosanct, then it follows that the individual can and should make it on his or her own. Therefore, one in a position of influence concludes, “I should leave them alone—and they should leave them alone.” Such a conclusion denies the history of modern conservatism and powerful movements in general.
