The book of which this speech is a part has been called "the single most significant statement of Christian conservative political thinking" (Michael Lienesch). I think it is worth looking at.

I've read another work by Schaeffer ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Schaeffer ) called How Should We Then Live? ( www.amazon.com/gp/product/0891072926/103-8112558-4883864?v=glance&n=283155 ). Schaeffer writes in a lucid prose style and is capable of interesting generalizations, though they tend to be too broad and incredibly misguided. Still, he writes with an air of authority, and I think he does have some legitimate concerns mixed in with his misunderstandings of Christianity.
At any rate his is intelligent criticism from the other side. Always worthwhile, if you have the time.
