Net Neutrality prohibits ISPs from charging for internet service based on usage. This seems straightforward to Barton and Green: “what they mean is we’re not going to let you choose who you need to charge more to.” But it’s not that simple.

…ative attempts to remedy Smith’s damage may actually leave some plaintiffs better able to defend their free-exercise rights than before.

The Clenched Fist of Truthiness: Why Religion Won’t Fix This

By Daniel Schultz

I think Holley means “apocalyptic terms” here, implying a final battle between good and evil. No matter, the point is made: the worldview of this video is stark, antagonistic, and manicheaen, drawing sharp and exclusive boundaries between those on the NRA’s side and those outside their camp.
