Interesting list.

Of course, no mention of the number of fundies who took part in the survey; they would have put the bible up as an 'academic' book.

No--we wouldn't call such a blatantly racist book good or academic.

Now that's a list that would make the far-right fundamentalists clutch their chests and pray for deliverance. Not that they've actually read them, lol.

There are actually a few in that list which the far right would support. Or at least the one by Adam Smith.

Yes. I realize that a mob mentality can make people think even evil is good. That's why Hitler was applauded by many. It's also why Darwin's racist book is considered good.
