That whole "brothers keeper" thing sent chills down my spine. Not the good ones, either.

Touché.

Those are the exact questions that I've been trying to answer as well. I can't possibly imagine a liberal being less evil than a conservative, but in these days of "compassionate conservatism" (read: altrusim), they do seem ominously similar in some respects.

Agreed. They really are a mess, though.

Do you think that Peikoff would, then, advocate voting for a Libertarian candidate since their ideals, however skewed and disjointed, are still somewhat in line with those of Objectivists?

My name is Max and I'm a relatively new to Objectivism. I have read many essays by Ayn Rand as well as Atlas Shrugged and I agree with her philosophies and feel that they are essential to living one's life. I've lurked this forum for quite a while and I know many of you already based on what I've read. Hopefully, over time, I can help contribute to the discussions already underway.
