Although it might seem outlandish, these parallels illustrate a simple fact: demons catalyze around crisis. As Ruth Bloch writes, after the Revolution, demons no longer seemed as pressing to the political concerns of the nation. But demons hadn’t disappeared from the…

Why Antisemitism is an Insufficient (and Risky) Explanation for Hamas’s October 7 Attack on Israel

By Shane Burley

…escribed as such must likewise be antisemitism. When antisemitism is the cause Because antisemitism has a particular pedigree and logic, antisemitic attacks often have an easily detectable DNA. On January 15th, 2022, a rabbi and his congregants were held hostage in Colleyville, Texas by a gunman demanding the rabbi, somehow, order the release of an al-Qaeda prisoner held in the nearby Fort Worth prison.

…the shop he could have a free sub. Now the place hosts (and I mean hosts: free wings and sausage and their locally-famous sweet tea) a monthly tea party meeting. I’ll admit to being put off when a few weeks back the character of the sign changed: it said “a red-neck, Bible thumping (something or other) owns this joint,” making me feel generally unwelcome.

Another Far Right Theocrat Shows up on the Trump Team

By Julie Ingersoll

…abeled bigoted and narrow-minded. Yet many clamor to deny Muslins the very free exercise rights for which Sekulow, and now also his son Jordan, litigated, with the ACLJ leading the fight against the nonexistent effort by Muslims to take over America by implementing Sharia.

A pro-equality senator, Armando Benedetti, told the New York Times, “Today is a bittersweet day.

American Brokenness: A Lament

By Daniel Schultz

…society have failed not because they are inherently undeliverable, but because liberals have betrayed them. An entire generation has come to believe this. Now that generation is faced with a nation that not only tolerates progressive ideas, but embraces them. I say that not to shove it in conservatives’ faces, but to recognize the depth of their loss. They can no longer remain unfeeling about American brokenness. From their perspective, the very p…

…tive sexual practices.” Christian also introduced a provision, which the House voted to table, that would have required state universities to use 10 percent of their appropriations on “Western Civilization” courses. The TCC was behind a bill that stalled last term that would have created a “School of Ethics, Western Civilization, and American Traditions” at the University of Texas at Austin.
