Okay. I am not a "randroid," but I know a fair amount about Rand's philosophical views. You pick one view (not just some offhand opinionated remark she made, but really some allegedly important view or doctrine) that you think is false, and I will show you that it is at least not OBVIOUSLY false.
For instance, please note that a person who denies the existence of Platonic universals can still logically hold that there are individual rights. Rights are really just principles that are worked into the foundation of a government that respects the preconditions and requirements of individual human flourishing. Such principles do not commit one to anything that has to do with whether "redness" or "2" - the abstract objects - exist. These topics are totally unrelated.
