The Canadian newspaper mistakenly claims that [[Ayn Rand]] is a [[conservative]] and that [[Tom Flanagan]] is a social [[conservative]]. Most political readers will immediately recognize those errors.
Ayn Rand was an atheist whose philosophy most closely resembled [[libertarianism]].
[[Tom Flanagan]] is affiliated with a libertarian group in Canada, which suggests that he is ''not'' a social conservative. He has said little or nothing about abortion, same-sex marriage, or prayer in school in recent years.
