albatross, #781: I think you've just done a good job of defining "randroid" in a negative-space way: someone who does not modify their Objectivist views based on experience and evidence, but continues to argue that Socialist medicine will inevitably lead to disaster, the governments cannot do anything well, and that the private sector can always do a better job.

Firstly, the randroid - incapable of independent thought, parrots lines from Rand and other similar thinkers and thinks that wins them the discussion.
-
Randroid to conservative, randroid to screaming liberal, yes.
-

-
Self-righteous dogmatic ideology, justifying selfishness with bullshit randroid rhetoric.

I am not Ayn Rand. But as one who agrees with a good portion of what she said, mustn't I claim this title? I think the android connection comes from the perceived unemotional mindset of objectivism.
