Persecution, Betrayal, and the Zero Sum Fight for Global Domination — Day 1 of NatCon 2024

…of Roberts’ speech pitted NatCon as an insurgent movement against “beltway Republicans” who “have failed this Republic” and “hurt this nation, the people, the constitution they took an oath to defend…sorry you have to be in the swamp,” he told the DC gathering, “but this is actually an imperial city we’re in the process of taking back. So thanks for being here.” Our power will rise in direct correlation with our ability to honor great leaders who…

Religious Freedom Gets Hollywood Treatment

…heir distrust of the prelates and their uneven application of the Church’s new Social Doctrine in the aftermath of the Revolution. This helps to explain why Protestants, teachers, agrarian reformers, and anyone associated with the revolutionary agenda dreaded the arrival of the cristero forces in their towns and villages—their side has a martyrdom narrative too—and why they were relieved at the government’s suppression of the revolt. This also hel…

…the U.S., in return for the U.S. abdicating administrative control of the newly independent Cuban republic.

Updated: G-O-D Plays a Bit Part in First GOP Debate

…Cruz and Paul stumbled, and dear God, how many more of them are there? The New Republic‘s Brian Beutler summed things up pretty well: What you saw tonight—and the vastness of the field made this tension more vivid—are several candidates who want to hew to a new line of some kind, only to be pulled back, like the Godfather, into a morass they were trying to escape. Like Beutler says, Republicans haven’t quite figured out what lessons to draw from M…

“Can You Tell Me Who The Villains Are?”: Rock and Religion, Irish-Style

…ages of Indie religious contemplation. But he must know that Americans are newcomers to the history of musical pronouncements on religion, and particularly the criticism of institutional religions. The Saw Doctors — one of my favorite bands — have been astute observers of religious hypocrisy for twenty years now. They have a well-deserved reputation for insulting Catholicism. The band is the project of two boys from Tuam, County Galway — Leo Moran…

Mike Lee’s Father: Constitution Not Scripture

…n as tantamount to scripture is difficult to square with the fact that our republic has functioned very well, probably even better, after at least one of its original provisions (requiring United States senators to be elected by their respective state legislatures rather than by the people at large) was amended out of existence by the Seventeenth Amendment.” “Can someone send Mike Lee this excerpt from his father’s talk,” our Arizona reader plaint…

Tim Pawlenty, Bad Fundamentalist

…at’s what Pawlenty misses. He’s a bad Fundamentalist. Even if, like Fundamentalists, we only apply common sense philosophy to the Founders and their documents, our answers about how they saw God functioning in the new republic would be as complex as any Fundamentalist interpretation of the Book of Daniel. Fundamentalists valued precision and complexity. Pawlenty only gives vague notions of a “founding under God.”…

Maybe Trump Should Pray About His Problems With Religious Voters?

…rcent favorability, against an overwhelming 71 percent unfavorable. As the New Republic points out, every cycle Republicans make noise about taking the Jewish vote based on superior allegiance to Israel or something. Then somebody like Michele Bachmann comes out and all but pledges to make Benjamin Netanyahu Secretary of State, and then somebody like Trump emerges like a fetid swamp dream from the primordial ooze, and the Jewish vote, such as it i…

Gorsuch Confirmed… But Don’t Get Too Bent Out of Shape

…igh court than Justice Gorsuch. But, given the almost comically disastrous news flooding out of the White House daily, the nomination of an experienced, well-regarded, if right-of-center jurist feels like a less-than-ideal hill to die on. The real battle will begin when there is another vacancy on the court, which truly does have the potential to shift the balance of power for generations to come. There’s no reason to believe that a second Trump n…

Immigration Issue Divides Arizona Mormons

Latino Mormons spoke out this week against Arizona’s controversial new immigration law SB 1070. Local leaders from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are reporting that missionaries are having “doors slammed in their faces” by Latinos who identify the law with its author, Mormon state senator Russell Pearce (R-Mesa).
