Sinister Men
Whittaker Chambers wrote: “If God exists man cannot be a communist, which begins with a rejection of God. But if God does not exist, it follows that Communism, or some suitable variation of it, is right.”
But why must this be so? Radio and cable TV talkers rarely mention God, yet profess a profound hatred of communists. But they have too narrow a view of what communism is. Communism is the belief that man can set the world right. And anyone who thinks that everything would be fine if only we could triumph over our political enemies is a communist.

—Alice von Hildebrand
"Here we do not concede one square millimeter of territory to falsehood, folly, contemporary sentimentality, or fashion. We speak the truth, and let God be our judge. . . . Touchstone is the one committedly Christian conservative journal."
