Conservatism is a hat that Negrophobes with good jobs put on to move undetected in a society that refuses to overturn the racist order but considers the N-word to be taboo. Those who’ve shown historical hostility to Black life are invited to the table to determine our fates as long as they name their Negrophobia “the conservative perspective”—as long as they keep on their hats. Of course, su…

By Jeff Sharlet

…ittle Trumps are doing. They wobble sometimes. They wobble a lot, really. That’s what we need to look for: the wobble. It’s there. Thirty-four times guilty—they wobbled.

By Bruce Ledewitz

…an never be a free exercise challenge against a generally applicable law; that is, a law that does not burden only religious practices.

By Peter Schwartz

…cultural conservatism in the United States. The foundation of this source code (the motherlode of the code, as it were) is Catholic natural law moral philosophy.

…ogram the car so that it can not exceed the speed limit and you take away that free will, except for those who have the capacity to hack the code and reprogram the car.

Unlike Hovind, Hyman is giving away his system for free.

He said at the time that freedom of expression “should be upheld no matter what.” These contradictions have left human rights groups flustered. “They can’t have it both ways,” begins Hany Zaki, an Egyptian pharmacist who said he read the book and sees it much differently than those who have been outraged. “This is a book and it is someone’s vision of a story.
