The Intellectual Source Code For National Conservatism Can Be Found at This Niche Catholic Publication

…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. Natural law is the 800-year-old Thomist tradition that absorbs (from revelation and scripture) and communicates (into public discourse and legal practice) a quite specific understanding of the human individual as the summit of God’s creation. First Things has hosted some of the most impo…

Newsweek’s Strange Faces of the Christian Right List

…st definitely conservative (such as Joel Hunter, who is also on Newsweek’s list) and center-right (such as Jim Wallis, who I’d imagine would be unhappy to be placed on a list of religious right-ists, although one could argue on some issues it’s deserved). Hunter himself, although sharing much the Christian right (he supported, for example, a 2008 measure in his home state of Florida to ban gay marriage), he’s also affiliated himself with “common g…

Including Bono on Glamour’s “Women of the Year” List is Two Steps Backwards

…rs. In 2015, the magazine named newly out trans woman and Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner to its list, prompting backlash from across the ideological spectrum. This year, Glamour apparently decided to avoid that particular brand of controversy—by excluding trans women entirely from the list, but making room for the publication’s very first “Man of the Year.” U2 lead singer Bono takes home the honor, primarily for his work to bring life-saving…

Anti-Choice Groups Target Anti-Choice Democrats With Health Care Lies

…eek, the Commission ruled there was probable cause that billboards the SBA List planned to put up in Driehaus’s district violated the law, triggering a full hearing in front of the Commission. After the Commission’s ruling, the SBA List’s president Marjorie Dannenfelser defended her organization on the grounds that that National Right to Life, Americans United for Life, Focus on the Family, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops all…

Federal Court Orders Political “False Statement” Case to Proceed Against Susan B. Anthony List

…ederal funding of abortion, in a proposed billboard ad, was false. The SBA List sought to put a halt to the state proceeding — which would in all likelihood investigate whether SBA List and other allies knew that the final health care law did not, in fact, expand federal funding for abortion — by claiming that the Ohio law chilled its free speech. In an order denying the group’s request for a temporary restraining order, federal district judge Tim…

The Biblical Money Code!

…we find an investment advisor named Sean Hyman pushing “The Biblical Money Code,” which claims that advice “woven” into Scripture has helped him go from earning $15,000 to giving away up to $50,000 a year. Unlike Hovind, Hyman is giving away his system for free. All you have to do is sit through an hour-long video, during which Hyman explains how “to unlock vast amounts of wealth safely and ethically.” Fancy explanations are provided, but it’s act…

In early May a group of Coptic lawyers demanded that the government imprison the author for five year…

Capricology: Tattoos, Blood, Cyber-Dating

…ke away that free will, except for those who have the capacity to hack the code and reprogram the car. We normally think of robots as almost pure code, yet the scene last week when Graystone orders the Zoebot to rip off her arm raises some interesting stakes in this. It seems to me that people may be treating the Cylons differently depending on what mix of code and law they believe governs their behavior. And of course, those of you who study reli…
