By Joseph Laycock

…Fendley were accused of perpetuating a hoax, either out of amusement or to promote Fendley’s business. Both men took lie detector tests, which they passed. Sullivan suggests that the hoax rumor may have come from rival granite workers.

By Jonathan L. Walton

…ow in relation to other developed nations such as Canada, Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Spain. For instance, in terms of earnings levels, nine developed countries, including France, offer greater mobility than the United States. The U.S. only tops Italy and Great Britain. And the U.S. ranks the highest in terms of the influence of parental background on student achievement in secondary education. So what’s the moral of the story? If you want your c…

By Daniel Schultz

…to mention it, but the obvious specter here is the coopted church of Nazi Germany. Likewise, and forcefully, the statement speaks against “division of humanity into groups based on race, religion, language, ethnicity or any other secondary feature of human existence.” They have to walk a fine line here, because Orthodoxy as a whole does not approve of sexual diversity. But once again, the point is clear: wars cannot be justified by gay pride para…

By Peter Laarman

…f racist domination following the official overthrow of slavery: the Black Codes, convict leasing, widespread lynching and white terrorism, Jim Crow segregation, and ostensibly “race neutral” 20th century approaches to policing and mass incarceration that are, in fact, saturated with anti-Black racism from top to bottom. Every decent person understands how today’s challenges to every expression of white supremacy mark a long-delayed and long-suppr…

By Blain Auer

…by an Egyptian scholar Hasan al-Banna (1906-1948), the Muslim Brotherhood promoted an anti-colonial ideology meant to safeguard Egyptian society against British and French influence in the Middle East.

By Anthea Butler

…hope in reviving the Church. Recent news of sexual abuse cases in Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and the Netherlands suggest that much like the scandal uncovered by the Globe reporters, the roots are deep, the crimes unimaginable, the secrecy and subversion of blame epidemic. The Pope’s brother even admitted to slapping children, though not molesting them. As Andrew Sullivan remarked in a recent blog post, “what’s staggering to me is the…

By Nancy Marie Brown

…me and Constantinople, expanding the Holy Roman Empire (then just parts of Germany and Italy) to recreate the vast unified realm of the Caesars. Otto and Gerbert brought two of the scourges of Europe—the Vikings in the north and the Hungarian Magyars in the east—into the Christian fold. They established the Polish Catholic Church and sent missionaries to the Prussians, Swedes, and other pagan tribes; they strengthened the empire’s ties with Spain…

Obama’s “Other Worldly” Gaffe

By Ira Chernus

…lower middle class people driven by poverty to embrace a war party is Nazi Germany; the case that McCain invoked as the classic evil ‘them’ of US history. Of course, US history itself is hardly free of this phenomenon. Hard-hat construction workers attacked peace demonstrators during the Vietnam War era, and then a decade later became “Reagan Democrats,” supporting the very policies that have kept their real wages nearly stagnant for so many years…

Public Shrines to Treason: Charlottesville and the Cult of Confederate Memorialization

By Spencer Dew

…ade horrifically literal the portrayal of blood-soaked streets depicted in promotional posters. The organizers accomplished two political feats as well. By uniting an array of racist and fascist organizations under the cause of a Confederate monument and the banner of Nazi Germany, “Unite the Right” starkly revealed the white supremacy and white nationalism at the root of Confederate civil religion. The rally also set up a situation where Presiden…

…ble. For example, CWC allows for anti-Semitic commentary to be withheld in Germany while still available in the United States, where it may not specifically violate any laws (other than the laws of decency). To ensure this policy is applied diligently, only authorized actors like law enforcement or government agencies are allowed to submit CWC requests. You can imagine the potential difficulty of maneuvering within this system when dealing with a…
