Randite Confused

Atlas Shrugged
You have sacrificed reason to faith.” (For example, attempts to prevent stem cell research on Biblical grounds or blind faith that Mr. Obama’s deliberately empty rhetoric about hope and change will magically produce prosperity.)

Even if I support this examination of the ideas in Rand's book, I regret that even the Randites can't get the facts right.  The decision about stem cell research was simply a decision not to spend more government money on research on stem cells except those those lines of cells already in research. 

The only thing more in line with my understanding of Rand's idea would be to stop all federal spending on this type of research. 

Picking nits?  Probably.  I expect more from advocates for liberty.
