Rand was a con artist who had a message that made the week minded feel smart, and the wek of heart feel stong. Hers was a pat on the shoulder to the frustrated bitter clinicly depressed of the world saying, "shhhhhhhh...only WE know the truth of hos things should be...wink" As if to tell them that their "gratification of self" was all they needed.
A great collection of faux intellect..little more

In other words you never read her. All you are doing is parroting what people who haven't read her have said about her.
If you don't want to slog through her novels, I would suggest reading "the virtues of selfishness". Fairly short and it gives you a good understanding of most of her positions, that is if you actually care to understand them.
