I think the idea is that any thinker who rejects the Judeo-Christian tradition is contributing to a modern worldview which leads us down a road that no Conservative wants to travel. Alinksy and Rand are completely different — but both convinced people that a moral foundation based upon something bigger than Man not needed by our culture.

No, not big government, but the the exclusion of morality, based on Judeo-Christian principles, would be the triumph.
