By Paul Harvey

…supplies ready-made (if sometimes made-up) quotations ready for use in the latest public policy debate, whether they involve school prayer, abortion, the wonders of supply-side economics, the Defense of Marriage Act, or the capital gains tax.

Tomorrow-Less Land

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…not think, in the places we are told to look for it. Many have viewed the latest proposed federal “bailout”—let’s be honest about this, and call it what it is: the federally sponsored purchase of crappy investments in order to keep the real shit from hitting the fan—as the end of capitalism as we know it, and from the perspective of the political right, the socialization of what should be private debt and private failures. On the left, the descri…

Hamas Bunny Eats Jews

By Hussein Rashid

For those of you who haven’t been following the latest activities of the Islamist group Hamas… In 2007, a character by the name of Farfur was introduced on the Hamas-produced children’s show Tomorrow’s Pioneers. Farfur, the little mouse, bore a striking resemblance to Mickey Mouse and was killed by an Israeli interrogator.

By Neil J. Young

…mong a small set of evangelicals who opposed Trump from the start, but the latest rounds demonstrate an even greater propensity to rewrite history and recent events in an attempt to disconnect evangelicals from the rise of Trump. Back in February, as Trump began to win state primaries with the help of white evangelical support, Russell Moore of the Southern Baptist Convention wrote in an op-ed for the Washington Post that he had taken to calling h…

Leave It to Trump to Split a Catholic-Evangelical Bloc That’s Generations Old

By Neil J. Young

Catholics now represent the latest demographic challenge for Donald Trump’s presidential ambitions. As the Washington Post recently reported, a poll from the Public Religion Research Institute found that Catholic voters preferred Hillary Clinton to Trump by a crushing 23 percent margin, 55-32. With less than a third of Catholics intending to vote for him, Trump has fallen well below the support GOP candidates typically enjoy from Catholic voters….

By Ivan Strenski

…reason for the season.’ But, it does no such thing. At most, O’Reilly just promoted a bullying cultural identity of the god-fearing GOP “us” against secular-humanist Democrat “them.” Or, again, is this not just more identity flashing; more “identitarian Christianity,” courtesy of the mute frozen images of the thriving Sacred Heart, St. Joseph, St. Christopher, and Miraculous medal industry that Roy writes about? These guys are on my team. Who’s on…
