Glenn Beck says ‘collective salvation’ is anti-American. Tell that to the Founding Fathers.

I have an op-ed in the Christian Science Monitor on Glenn Beck and his contortion of American history to attack the in fact very American value of “collective salvation”. Please check it out.

Here’s an excerpt:

“Fox News television host Glenn Beck says the idea of “collective salvation” – that our fates are linked – is “dangerous to the Constitutional republic.” He argues that related notions of social justice, redistribution, and ending oppression are fundamentally anti-American, communist creeds. American’s Founding Fathers would disagree. They embraced collective redemption and the protection of the common good.”
