"God acted through people" for ME, says David Brat. "It's an unbelievable miracle!"

This is the libertarian prof who just defeated Eric Cantor in the Republican primary.

There are clues to Mr. Brat’s ideology in his academic CV. His current book project is titled “Ethics as Leading Economic Indicator? What went Wrong? Notes on the Judeo-Christian Tradition and Human Reason.”

His other published works include the titles “God and Advanced Mammon – Can Theological Types Handle Usury and Capitalism?” and “An Analysis of the Moral Foundations in Ayn Rand.”

He gets nuttier as he campaigns. The other factor is there is a libertarian also running.
