Does America still. believe in the right to be wrong?
Jonah Goldberg | National Review Online
You might think that current controversies over NFL players refusing to stand for the national anthem, the vandalizing and removal of statues, and the "PC" firestorms erupting across campuses aren't about religion. But you'd be wrong. History's religious conflicts were ultimately about what values and ideas should be imposed on everybody. Traditional religion may be

Germany's swing to the right isn't just about migrants
The migrant issue has swayed the German elections, with the Alternative for Germany leveraging anti-immigrant sentiments to break into the German Bundestag. But there's more to the story. The other party that made significant gains is the Free Democrats. What do the two parties have in common? A deep rejection of any increased
