The Toronto Star mistakenly claims that Ayn Rand was conservative and that Tom Flanagan is a social conservative.
Astute 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.
The article misleads readers into thinking that social conservatives are somehow critical of Conservapedia.
Feel free to email a letter to the editor of the Toronto Star.
