Shane’s book came out two years ago. And yet it’s consistently in the top 1000 sellers on Amazon — which is pretty amazing in itself. But how funny is it that a born again Christian’s book is the #1 work of “radical political doctrine” and the #2 work of “political philosophy” among Amazon customers?

Maybe it’s a quirk of Amazon categories. Or maybe it says something about the left: that born again Christians are the only radicals anymore with a mass audience.
