Democratic Capitalism and Its Discontents Q&A With Jamie Glazov, FrontPageMag.com, 07-09-07
FP: What role does the American Left play in threatening the future of American democracy?
Anderson: The radical Left tries to push egalitarianism to a destructive extreme and moral indeterminacy into out-and-out nihilism. It opposes American religiosity with an angry secularism. It tries to regulate civil society out of existence, replacing it with overweening government. And it seeks to transform constitutionalism into another form of politics through judicial activism. All of these things, I argue, will weaken our democracy and also make it harder to confront the existential threat of our time: radical Islam. . .
