    lmao, nah. Wasn’t she the one that took social services? Libertarians can go kick rocks.

    In the 1960s and 1970s, Rand developed and promoted her Objectivist philosophy through nonfiction and speeches,[98][99] including annual lectures at the Ford Hall Forum.[100] In answers to audience questions, she took controversial stances on political and social issues. These included supporting abortion rights,[101] opposing the Vietnam War and the military draft (but condemning many draft dodgers as “bums”),[102][103] supporting Israel in the Yom Kippur War of 1973 against a coalition of Arab nations as “civilized men fighting savages”,[104][105] claiming European colonists had the right to invade and take land inhabited by American Indians,[105][106] and calling homosexuality “immoral” and “disgusting”, despite advocating the repeal of all laws concerning it.[107] She endorsed several Republican candidates for president of the United States, most strongly Barry Goldwater in 1964.[108][109]
