As Robert Bolt wrote, in A Man for All Seasons, when fanatically zealous inquisitors tear down all the rules to get even with the devil, they leave themselves dangerously exposed. “When the last law was down, and the Devil turned ‘round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws
Oh, the white folks hate the black folks, And the black folks hate the white folks … And everybody hates the Jews. Tom Lehrer, “National Brotherhood Week” It’s not remembered much today, but one of Denzel Washington’s fine early films was Mississippi Masala, a variation of the classic trope
As I’ve already written for The BFD, the NZ mainstream media seem determined to keep their dwindling numbers of readers completely ignorant of the Biden impeachment proceedings. Even if they have to grudgingly admit that the potentially severest sanction against an American president is hanging over Biden’s head,
When the Biden administration came to office, one of its first acts was to institute a thoroughgoing purge-and-re-education of the American military.

Once again, we have a government pandering to religious minorities in a transparently mercenary attempt to stitch up a powerful voting bloc. No, I’m not talking about so-called “theocons” and conservative Christians. Despite the left’s obessive gibbering about Scott Morrison’s and Tony Abbott’s religious faiths, “theocons”
