Western civilization wasn't built on the "Judeo-Christian" heritage until the "Judeo" was added in the mid-20th century

The addition of "Judeo" is largely due to the post-war victors' response to and feelings of guilt for the Holocaust, but is also bound up with the post-war enthusiasm for ecumenism which remembered how Protestants and Catholics of many stripes fought side by side with Jews in the allied forces of the west to defeat Hitler.

The France which started to build the Notre Dame Cathedral in about 1160 thought so little of Jews it took away their property and expelled them from time to time.

National Review's Kevin Williamson goes all-in for thorough-going materialism

Unless you were one of the approximately 1.5 billion aborted in the world since 1990.

Anthony Bialy forgets "supporting Arab spring", which destabilized the Middle East and North Africa and flooded the west with refugees

. . . and unconstitutional executive orders, record number of Supreme Court slapdowns, Attorney General held in contempt of Congress, bailouts of big businesses and banks while millions lost their careers, savings and homes, rock-bottom interest rates for eight years depriving savers, insurance companies, pension funds and states of needed income . . ..

Reza Aslan's worthless PhD never screened for "cite" vs. "site", you know, as in scholarly citation

Fortunately the examination committee of Twitter is pointing out the underlying intellectual shortcomings, of which misuse of "site" is only a signal.
