[[Ayn Rand]] was a libertarian and atheist. Patricia Ward Bedierman wrote in the ''LA Times'', "Effectively preaching a philosophy of selfishness and laissez-faire [[capitalism]] that came to be known as [[objectivism]], Rand was a rigid, humorless, charismatic individual whose devotees valued her every word."<ref>[http://articles.latimes.com/1997-06-12/local/me-2576_1_ayn-rand Rand Just Shrugged at the Valley's Charms] by  Patricia Ward Bedierman, ''LA Times'', June 12, 1997</ref>

The conservative [[Russell Kirk]] wrote about one one of the most prominent libertarian of his day: "The ruinous failing of the ideologues who call themselves libertarians is their fanatic attachment to a simple solitary principle-that is, to the notion of personal freedom as the whole end of the civil social order, and indeed of human existence... The representative libertarian of this decade is humorless, intolerant, self-righteous, badly schooled, and dull."<ref>[http://emp.byui.edu/DAVISR/202/Libertarians.htm Libertarians: Chirping Sectaries] by Russell Kirk</ref>
