I think the reason most right wing ideologues espouse Ayn Rand is actually quite simple; they no nothing of her works, but know that other right wingers espouse her. They therefore follow along blindly because its the only thing semi-(pseudo, really)-intellectual about the modern version of their movement. Want to sound smart?...Talk about Ayn Rand!
