I will post my American Thinker comments.

In a world with free markets, rule of law, and very limited government, as espoused by Ayn Rand, proclaiming the Gospel is completely and freely possible.
In the world of fascist oligarchy promoted by the Progressives, Christians will be driven into the catacombs.
How Susan Harris can compare Rand to the Progressives is unbelievable. It is Harris who is the idiot.
Huh...she didn't...
Did you even read the article?
Here it again:
The Progressive worldview, and the Libertarian, Rand-worshipping worldview -- are all part of the same existentialist family tree containing Sartre and Alinsky. Rand's humanistic objectivism is as cold and Godless as Sartre's humanistic existentialism. These pseudo-intellectuals are the reason Christianity has been quietly erased line by line, year after year in the popular psyche.
She is not making a comparison, just they have the same result..."Christianity has been quietly erased line by line, year after year in the popular psyche"
Really, it's not that hard to understand...
Conservatives built a conservative Christian America of free markets and limited government, libertarianism and leftism has created a broken America of anti-Christianity and big government.
A Sodom and Gomorrah that is a democracy will always result in bigger government and more government, not less.
Libertarianism is a contradiction, they think that ghetto morality and broken homes and drugs and porn, and abortion and homosexual equality and unlimited immigration, somehow creates voters that vote like Evangelicals, rather than liberal voters, it is insanity.
