Conservative Hack Criticizes Article in The Objective Standard

Orrin Judd of The Brothers Judd, attacks Objectivism, Rand and Brad Thompson's article.

Nick Provenzo @ The Rule of Reason responds to criticism of the essay, The Decline and Fall of American Conservatism, by Brad Thompson.

I also must add my two cents worth of criticism toward the Brothers Judd.

Citing, in his comments, that 8 or 9 of 10 Americans believe in God, is not proof that the supernatural exists. Neither sheer numbers, nor one's belief, should be the standard of proof on a subject so important to everyone. It is merely the product of a sloppy mental process, or more accurately, of 'feeling' that something is true.

Man's reasoning mind, studying the nature of reality, of existence, is the proof I seek.

Be sure to follow the links that Nick's article provides, to get both 'sides'.
