  1. Democ\u00adrats Are Wrong About Repub\u00adli\u00adcans. Repub\u00adli\u00adcans Are Wrong About Democ\u00adrats.<\/a> (Per\u00adry Bacon Jr., FiveThir\u00adtyEight): \u201cBlacks made up about a quar\u00adter of the Demo\u00adc\u00adra\u00adt\u00adic Par\u00adty, but Repub\u00adli\u00adcans esti\u00admat\u00aded the share at 46 per\u00adcent. Repub\u00adli\u00adcans thought 38 per\u00adcent of Democ\u00adrats were gay, les\u00adbian or bisex\u00adu\u00adal, while the actu\u00adal num\u00adber was about 6 per\u00adcent. Democ\u00adrats esti\u00admat\u00aded that 44 per\u00adcent of Repub\u00adli\u00adcans make more than $250,000 a year. The actu\u00adal share was 2 per\u00adcent. Peo\u00adple also over\u00adstat\u00aded the num\u00adbers of these stereo\u00adtyp\u00adi\u00adcal groups with\u00adin their own par\u00adty \u2014 Democ\u00adrats thought 29 per\u00adcent of their fel\u00adlow Democ\u00adrats were gay, les\u00adbian or bisex\u00adu\u00adal \u2014 but they weren\u2019t off by as much as mem\u00adbers of the oth\u00ader par\u00adty.\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. The Social\u00adist Net\u00adwork<\/a> (Gilad Edel\u00adman, Wash\u00ading\u00adton Month\u00adly): \u201cAt the heart of the split between lib\u00ader\u00adals and social\u00adists, at least in the\u00ado\u00adry, is the ques\u00adtion of what to do about cap\u00adi\u00adtal\u00adism. Lib\u00ader\u00adals tend to see it as some\u00adthing that needs to be fixed. Social\u00adists see it as some\u00adthing to be defeat\u00aded. They say they do, any\u00adway. As we\u2019ve seen, the Mil\u00adlen\u00adni\u00adal social\u00adist intel\u00adlec\u00adtu\u00adals aren\u2019t real\u00adly call\u00ading for gov\u00adern\u00adment takeover of indus\u00adtry.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Affirm\u00ading Dis\u00adad\u00advan\u00adtage<\/a> (John McWhort\u00ader, The Amer\u00adi\u00adcan Inter\u00adest): \u201cDo I oppose affir\u00adma\u00adtive action? Not at all. But I sug\u00adgest that what we now \u2018affirm\u2019 is dis\u00adad\u00advan\u00adtage suf\u00adfered by all kinds of peo\u00adple.\u201d The author is a lin\u00adguis\u00adtics pro\u00adfes\u00adsor at Colum\u00adbia. He earned his Ph.D. at Stan\u00adford, btw.<\/li>\n
  4. Cul\u00adture War As Class War: How Gay Rights Rein\u00adforce Elite Pow\u00ader<\/a> (Darel E. Paul, First Things): \u201cPriv\u00adi\u00adleg\u00ading the nor\u00admal\u00adiza\u00adtion of homo\u00adsex\u00adu\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty rather than, say, racial inte\u00adgra\u00adtion allows elites to have their diver\u00adsi\u00adty cake and eat it, too.\u201d The author is a pro\u00adfes\u00adsor of polit\u00adi\u00adcal sci\u00adence at Williams Col\u00adlege.<\/li>\n
  5. If You Care About NATO You Should <\/em>Care About Ger\u00adman Mil\u00adi\u00adtary Readi\u00adness<\/a> (David French, Nation\u00adal Review): \u201c\u2026Germany\u2019s mil\u00adi\u00adtary made head\u00adlines when it used broom\u00adsticks instead of machine guns dur\u00ading a NATO exer\u00adcise because of a short\u00adage of equip\u00adment. The lack of real weapons in the Euro\u00adpean Union\u2019s most pop\u00adu\u00adlous nation was seen as symp\u00adto\u00admatic of how under\u00adfund\u00aded its mil\u00adi\u00adtary has long been.\u201d This is scary.<\/li>\n
  6. Learn\u00ading From \u2018The Final Pagan Gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion\u2019<\/a> (Rod Dreher, The Amer\u00adi\u00adcan Con\u00adser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive): this is a long and illu\u00admi\u00adnat\u00ading post. \u201cUnder\u00adstand that we, like the final pagan gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion [in ancient Rome], might think we are fight\u00ading for tol\u00ader\u00adance, but our oppo\u00adnents are fight\u00ading for vic\u00adto\u00adry. We have to change our tac\u00adtics.\u201d (empha\u00adsis removed)<\/li>\n
  7. Pres\u00adi\u00addent Trump has nom\u00adi\u00adnat\u00aded Brett Kavanaugh to be a Supreme Court Jus\u00adtice. I\u2019ve got a lot of links here \u2014 just pick one or two.\n
