Writ of habeas corpus.

Corpus Christ.

It hangs in the balance. Ideas that central figures must honor or else!

The fox guarding the henhouse and the Great Writ. Yeah, a Republic if you can keep it…..

The paramilitary murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti is exactly what arbitrary force without effective oversight looks like in practice.

It’s worst in highly patriarchal countries, where the rich men hoover up all the wives, and the poorest men are left with no-one to marry.

This just in.

Donald Trump was caught telling the truth. Shock to his central nervous system has resulted in his placement in intensive care. Is expected to make a full recovery and resume his mendacious cant.

Yes, it is all in the data but but the truth is likely more nuanced. States with higher percentages of evangelical Protestants, theists, and biblical literalists tend to have higher overall frequencies of Google searches for the term “porn.”

This article is super-interesting.  I know you’ve got to be clever to do all that statistics stuff.  Evangelicals are conservative and have conservative (i.e., highly patriarchal) views.  Non-religious are mainly liberal and have liberal views.  That makes a lot of sen…[Read more]

Your query is so very…

Adam Kinsinger served as a savvy and (relatively) good-hearted Republican Congressman. He and Liz Cheney had the gumption to be the only GOP to serve on the Jan 6 select committee. Kinzinger was one of ten House GOP to vote for Trump’s second impeachment.

Also taken from Wikipedia: ‘On February 4, 2022, the Republican National Committee called…[Read more]

ask him to justify his framing of almost every issue through the narcisstic lens of Trump. How is it that the president of the USA subordinates the interests of the people he is representing as the ultimate public servant to his own interests?

Pope,

Enco,

Who is Auerbach? You are not talking about Red are ya? The all time great basketball coach of the Boston Celtics who would light a stogie during game when the issue was decided or a foregone conclusion. Would also take out his buddies weekly to his favorite Chinese restaurant where he held court and entertained his guests.

I doubt that is…[Read more]

WHOA! This is something to remember! I hope Trump stays up all night on social media for this gem…

The rationale switched from Theological irrationality to Pseudoscientific irrationality.

Yes, that is a good point and a good distinction. I agree that Classical liberalism did not generate antisemitism. It was probably a 1,000 years too late for that. Classical liberalism attacked the fusion of church and state and religious privilege or legal…[Read more]

Simon there is one major exception to the vulnerability and feeling unsafe as a result of a political statement. Jews. It is not only tolerated it is deriguer to make Jews feel unsafe and unwanted.
