<p>Alex: </p> <hr /> <div>The Toronto Star mistakenly claims that [[Ayn Rand]] was [[conservative]] and that [[Tom Flanagan]] is a social [[conservative]].<br /> <br /> Astute political readers will immediately recognize those errors:<br /> <br /> :*Ayn Rand was an atheist whose philosophy most closely resembled [[libertarianism]].<br /> <br /> :*[[Tom Flanagan]] is affiliated with a libertarian group in Canada that supports legalizing marijuana, 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.<br /> <br /> The newspaper article is wrong in basing its criticism of Conservapedia on its premise that Ayn Rand was conservative and that Tom Flanagan is a social conservative. The article misleads readers into thinking that social conservatives are somehow critical of Conservapedia.<br /> <br /> These errors, however, do nothing to undermine the criticisms presented by the Star.<br /> <br /> Feel free to email a letter to the editor of the [http://www.thestar.com/article/190501 Toronto Star].</div>
