–Intelligent and worthwhile reads from the opposition
James Sanford, Ph.D, is a Harvard-trained historian and the author of Blueprint for Theocracy: The Christian Right’s Vision for America (2014).
In his opinion article at Truth-Out.org he comments disfavorably on the work of our own Mark Henderson in building common ground among Christians and readers of Ayn Rand.
He writes:
“An odd collaboration between Ayn Rand disciples and Christian rightists, based on a mutual attraction for aggressive free enterprise, is on the upswing. The relationship seems to signal further cohesion and ideological extremism on the Tea Party right.”
Also:
“Anything that unifies extreme groups and fires their ideology should raise alarms. One should keep in mind, however, that the Christian-Randian faction might have some difficulty papering over its legacy of contradictions.”
