Ayn Rand an Illegal Immigrant
Date: Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 8:27 PM
Earlier this month was the birthday of Ayn Rand, the controversial philosopher and novelist, who emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1926. Regardless of what one thinks of her ideas, there is no denying that she was a great American. When the American intelligentsia was playing footsie with Soviet communism, Rand unabashedly defended liberty and individual rights, America’s core values, famously declaring: “ United States of America is the greatest, the noblest and, in its original founding principles, the only moral country in the history of the world.”

Most of her ideas were reprehensible, of course, but if one had to find a nice thing to say about Ayn Rand, besides the fact that she’s dead, it would be that she was a devout atheist.
