Ayn Rand on Donahue 1979Reagan elected soon after this in 1980. Reagan (spoke of a libertarian basis for conservatism.)
"“If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals — if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories."
