Ayn Rand

By Richard A Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
Conservatives in 1955 were restless, anxious to be heard, and had plenty of motivating issues.  But they lacked political and intellectual leadership.  That would soon come, with an outspoken Senator from Arizona and an articulate young author.  The stage was set in the 1950s for the birth of a new conservative movement, as we see in this excerpt from America’s Right Turn: How Conservatives Used New and Alternative Media to Take Power.

The policy of acting as a separate force within the Republican Party worked well to nominate Judge Roy Moore – even though it meant defying President Trump’s call to support establishment Senator Strange.

If Donald Trump is an Objectivist that appears to be news to those who share Ayn Rand's philosophy. However, what’s even stranger is that many intellectuals on the Right, especially William F. Buckley Jr.’s establishment conservative inheritors at The National Review, have criticized Trump for not being Objectivist enough. 

In November, 1992, following the election of Bill Clinton, Marc Tucker, president of the National Center for Education and the Economy (NCEE) wrote an 18-page letter to Hillary Clinton. He excitedly outlined the opportunity the Clintons now had to “remold the entire American system…” Today, the proposal Tucker made to Hillary Clinton that fateful day is now completely in place.

Tom DeWeese channels Any Rand and Victor Hugo in this searing indictment of how the liberal establishment has created a dictatorial federal education system that has been transformed from teaching basic academics into one that focuses on controlling and remolding children’s minds.

The vision of the future offered by Mrs. Clinton is more like one of the more depressing chapters in Ayn Rand’s classic novel Atlas Shrugged than “Morning in America.” But what's even more depressing is that when Donald Trump and his supporters are correct about the threats facing our country, the establishment media is so obsessed with defeating Trump that they attack him or claim he is jumping to conclusions when he is right.

It's the Primaries, stupid! Eric Cantor long ago abandoned whatever principles he may have had when first elected and any pretense of serving in Congress to advance conservative governance. Cantor is all about maintaining the power of the GOP establishment, that's the opposite of what we are looking for in a conservative leader.

Whatever they said in response to Obama's State of the Union address, until Republicans actually fight Obama’s agenda to a conclusion that does not involve caving-in to the President’s plan to bring about the dystopian world of government enforced income equality that Ayn Rand envisioned in Atlas Shrugged they will remain irrelevant.
