Barr and Durham

[Anonymous]

The following article explains a lot about Barr’s actions:


https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/19/william-barr-attorney-general-catholic-conservative-speech



And the Title of a speech last year by John Durham should give one pause:

That is one heck of a title.

Sub heading from the Guardian article:

"Attorney general’s recent address at Notre Dame is a ‘dog whistle’ to conservatives who have aligned themselves with Trump"

Why are liberals the only ones able to hear dog whistles?


Curious, OP. Why do you have Durham's name in the title. This topic really has nothing to do with him.

OP here - the common thread is religious extremism that threatens the separation of church and state

Why should Durhan's speech give one pause? This is not an uncommon topic among practicing Catholics......

Any lawyer, judge, public servant, etc. is still permitted to practice, and yes, even talk about, his or her faith.
Sorry if this offends your sensibilities, OP. This is not extremism.

What about Barr?

Talking about faith is not the same as making faith superior to the laws of the land in your work as a public servant.

Neither is doing that. So, we're good.

Bull. Quote from the Guardian article...

He (religion professor at the Jesuit based Fordham University) described the (Barr) speech as a “dog whistle” to ultra-conservative Catholics who, he says, have aligned themselves to Donald Trump in a campaign to limit the rights of LGBTQ Americans, immigrants and non-Christians, especially Muslims, and to criminalize almost all abortions. “The attorney general is taking positions that are essentially un-Democratic” because they demolish the wall between church and state, Anderson said.

This is obvious to anyone who is willing to look.

So? Just because a liberal professor calls it that, doesn't make it so.
And, as asked before.... why are liberals the only ones to hear dog whistles?

A liberal professor? Please. He’s a Roman Catholic theologian and professor of religion at Jesuit-run Fordham University. And the reason liberals hear the dog whistles and you don’t is because you only hear what you want to - kind of like you only see what you want to. Must be hard to go through like deaf and blind, but sadly not dumb.

All I could see was the announcement of Durham's speech, but Barr really should get up to speed on the view of religion by the founders.
