…self check-in kiosk with their credit card. Muslim women were not on these lists. Muslim women who wear the hijab had different experiences. They were more likely in airports to be stopped and searched. Muslim women were treated as if they were violating cultural democratic norms—that they’re oppressed, that they’re being forced to wear the hijab, that they’re anti-feminist.

Phyllis Schlafly (1924-2016) Paved the Way for Trump

By Paul Harvey

…le intellect and tireless organizing ability increasingly on behalf of populist, alt-right, and far-right causes. The evolution of this right, in fact, may be seen in the dominance of Ayn Rand and Phyllis Schlafly in a previous generation, versus the Coulteresque clown crop of the present day. Schlafly paved the way for the moralism of a Catholic populist conservatism, as Rand did for libertarianism, but both brought considerable talents and could…

…; two same-sex kisses; some rough and crude language; and two uses of profanity.” In addition to their reviews, the USCCB Office of Film and Broadcasting also offer Top Ten Lists from each calendar year beginning with 1965. It is probably safe to say that Hamlet 2 will not top the 2008 list….
