Book Review: Christian Nation
It’s like the love child of Tim LaHaye and Margaret Atwood wrote a piece of anti-Ayn Rand un-fan fiction, entitled Atlas Moved From Downward Dog To Crescent Moon.Put that blurb on the cover; I dare you!

Karl Bode recently noted the large number of one star reviews on Crawford's book that exhibit a pretty clear pattern: a ‘‘folksy’’ tone from someone in an ‘‘ordinary’’ job, living in a ‘‘rural’’ location (they all mention a rural location) absolutely trashing Crawford's book, all using talking points that the big telco lobbyists have been handing out.So Mike Masnick did a little analysis...
