I Believe… [Political Science]

By Don Hall

…that at the moment the sound of those on the left scrambling to present proof of their secular religious anti-racist bona fides is like watching people beg the Grand Inquisitioner please pass them by because “I understand I can’t understand, but I can stand. But I will do better even though it won’t make any difference because I’ll fail.” #BlackLivesMatter is not an advertising slogan.

…that every system in America is an experiment. The experiment in policing ourselves has failed so maybe it’s time to experiment with different models. Hell, we might fail again but that’s the nature of experimentation — keep trying new things until one sticks, right?

…that science should always be apolitical.

…that no one is surprised that Carole Baskin forged her husband’s will.

…that one of the hallmarks of a cult is that it tries to cut you off personally from anyone who sees the world differently than they do. When you see people urging others to completely cut off their friends and families over an issue, it's a cult.
