Is Bill Barr’s Belief in a Powerful President Actually Religious? A ‘High Papal’ Fable

By Ivan Strenski

…Holland also claims seven novels to his name, several TV documentaries, a number of radio broadcasts, a play or two, and a translation of Herodotus’s Histories, all the while holding down a staff position with The Guardian. Taken as a whole, Holland’s entire oeuvre seems a colossal myth-making enterprise geared to reintroducing the West to its own formation.

…ver even heard of. I asked if we could stop to pick up some food and, with french fries in our laps, he gave me a quick tour of Salt Lake City, demonstrating an intimate knowledge of the area and the people who call it home.

…ice in Colorado. But that happened too. I guess it didn’t matter as much. #FrenchLivesMatter more than #BlackLivesMatter. Q: It’s not the same thing. A: Three mosques were attacked in Sweden in the last three weeks. One was set on fire, with people inside. Just recently thousands of Germans gathered against ‘Islamization.’ Somehow I don’t think they mean a handful of radicals. Q: So you’re saying you don’t condemn the attack. A: I already cond…

By Jonathon Sawyer

…d in the larger society. In contrast to Christian conservatives like David French who hold to traditional views of gender and sexuality but support the law as it now exists, NAR leaders seek to eradicate LGBTQ visibility and hard won civil rights. But legally sanctioned discrimination against LGBTQ students isn’t limited to enrollment restrictions or expulsion, both of which are punitive enough.

…m will play if any in the Romney biopic they’ll screen at the RNC in Tampa? I’m seeing Mormon pioneer covered wagons turning into Nash Ramblers. I’m seeing a young hardworking man who volunteered to serve amidst a strange and troublesome anti-American people—the French. Wasn’t he earnest? Wasn’t that difficult? And the important leadership lessons he learned helped him guide a struggling startup called Bain. I think his experience as a leader in t…

By Lauri Lebo

…al melange that is Louisiana, many, older people mostly, chatted warmly in French Acadian, but the formal prayer and chants were in their native Indian tongue. The past five years have been difficult ones for the Nation, whose people have borne more than their fair share of bad times. First Katrina, then Rita, then Ivan tore apart their homes and buildings. Each time, they came back and rebuilt. But now the Deepwater Horizon oil-well disaster may…
