As one nutcase guy who was talking with my son put it, "Russians are becoming Christian at an alarming rate and many if not most now want laws to reflect Christian morality. It's awful."

It is one take on it. I disagree with her atheism but it makes sense to make her books required reading for everyone.

Actually I think the best authors exposing the left for what it is are Dostoyevski, Solzhenitsyn and Rand.

The case of Dostoyevski is especially spectacular considering the fact he did it before leftists ever established as a powerful global ideology.
