Unlike here in the US, Britain has an officially sanctioned, state-sponsored religion, and that faith – The Church of England – has a bone to pick with the BBC: Bishops, clergy and lay members of the General Synod will vote this week on a motion calling on the state broadcaster to explain why [...] Dutch politician Geert Wilders has been cast as a racist rabble-rouser by his national press. Which if true – and there’s an argument that the speaking truths ought to be a defense against wrongthink – in this country at least, lands you in David Dukeville, the subject of pretty much universal opprobrium, the butt of [...] Andrew Klavan explains it: See if you can spot the difference between reality and American culture. In reality, President John F.
