Symbolize sovereignty because if you are not subject to someone else, sovereign then only can you listen to your conscious. then the most important is we are not allowed to cut our hair, a symbol of something given to us by god. yes, yeah. do women have similar articles of faith. yes, women wear the same articles of faith pl unfortunately for americans there is only one way of thinking about what an american looks like. and especially when you ve got a beard and a turban you don t fit that stereotype of an american, right. these are the kind of things we are trying to dismantle through education and things like that. i read about this idea that like it s hard to just say we aren t muslims, judge us by who we are, we also happen not to be the thing that you think we are. no, i think very early on right after 9/11, we made a decision as a community that we
Computers or life x. in my house i m the smoothy guru. can you talk to me about the meaning of the turban and the expression of religion. yeah, we call kakar, the articles of faith. the first it s a bracelet made of steel. without a beginning without end. so represents that god doesn t have beginning or end. that there is a comb we wear in the hair reminding us to have clean and tidy hair. and then there are under shorts that we we are sikhism requiring month ogmy in a marital relationship and to exercise chaftty. chaftty. so if you pull down your pants and you re in the wrong situation you look at your underwear and go, wait a minute hold on a second. i think i got to go. good way to put it. probably not spiritual but it s the way i think about it. the turban, a sword these
The president s reflecting changes in our political culture. the oxford dictionary word of the year for 2016 was post-truth. post-truth is defined as decision-make based on feeling and emotion rather than objective data, and i think we see that broadly throughout our society. i mean, you guys comment on it every night. how could people believe that? political beliefs, political affiliations have now become articles of faith, and it s really hard to unseat a belief with facts if it wasn t based on facts to begin with. so what is i mean, how do you get back to i mean, look, obviously, there s been incredible intelligence failures over the year so there s understanding why there would be skeptics of american intelligence and what the president has said has not helped the confidence in american intelligence or a lot of institutions. what needs to change? so that s a point related to an earlier question.
American congress just tunes it out. i don t know that the rest of the world does though, and that makes life hard. you also write that the modern intelligence enterprise, which you obviously view as essential to the u.s. now seems at odds with important elements of american life. yeah. what do you we have collectively and we ve talked about the administration, but the president s reflecting changes in our political culture. the oxford dictionary word of the year for 2016 was post-truth. post-truth is defind as decision-make based on feeling and emotion rather than objective data, and i think we see that broadly throughout our society. i mean, you guys comment on it every night. how could people believe that? political beliefs, political affiliations have now become articles of faith, and it s really hard to unseat a belief with facts if it wasn t based on facts to begin with. so what is i mean, how do
Any group aware faces involved different from a bible study group? if there was a feminist group, certain articles of faith for feminists, why is that different? it s not different. people have a right to freely associate and say what they think and you re providing them from exercising that right. because those teachers are the government. we don t have a separation of feminism and state in our country, but we do have enshrined in our constitution and the first amendment, it separates religion and government. you can talk about other things. you can have a chess club. have you read the first amendment, tucker? tucker: of course i have. it shall not establish a religion. the state can t make a religion paired i get it. that is very different from what you re saying. because that s not what it says. have you read it? it says congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or per pivoting thereof. you and i have that free exercise. but one thing he when i cannot

A place like this and in the mormon church, we can receive new revelation and we have a prophet as in abraham or moss, we have that in this day and that person is living and that person can reveal new things. one of the articles of faith, the very core articles of faith of mormonism says god will yet reveal many great and important things. that s not cosmetic changes, that s not something small. that s great and important things. so, i think mormonism is particularly well placed to be a leader, to be a faith tradition that s a leader on gender equality and that s really what i m hoping for. listening to you talk and seeing you there in salt lake city, i think about my own mom who in her 20s made a decision to ask for ex-communication from the church because of her anxiety about the gender and racial politics of the lds church, but you have specifically ask women not to leave the church.
Is over. but i m going to disrupt that narrative. how can the tea party really be losing when trey gowdy is heading up a special committee on benghazi and darrell issa is still running loose in the capitol? sure, the establishment struck back, but they did so by moving farther to the right, signing on to what one writer referred to as a myriad of, quote, right-wing articles of faith. now, speaker boehner talked about this new cozy relationship. listen, there s not that big a difference between what y all call the tea party and your average conservative republican. even freedomworks jumped on the bandwagon. in a statement from freedomworks president, he said, quote, matt bevin s principled challenge helped senator mcconnell rediscover his conservative principles come november. competition always breeds stronger candidates and there is an improved conservative candidate heading into the general election as a result. so, as the establishment winners, like mcconnell, now
It s called truecar. and truecar users. save time and money. so when you re. ready to buy a car, make sure you. never overpay. visit truecar.com today. one of the central articles of faith in modern right wing mythology is that white people are the true vicks of racial prejudice and animus in america. it takes quite a bit of reality avoidance to construct and maintain this myth, as any cursory glance of data on incarceration or income and unemployment can inform you. fox & company have been remarkably effective in getting people to believe this. trotting out this recent survey from rasmussen, 33% of respondents think most blacks are racist, 15% say most whites are racist. in the wake of george zimmerman s acquittal and national conversation on race profiling, fox has been working overtime, to say, look, white people are the victims of black people.
And again and each time the dream was a promise out of our ancient articles of faith. phrases from the constitution, lines from the great anthem of the nation, guarantees from the bill of rights, all ending with a vision that they might one day all come true. he was full of the symbolism of lincoln and gandhi and the cadences of the bible, militant and sad and he sent the crowd away feeling that the long journal he been worthwhile. what a great piece of reporting, james restin, like he really nailed it, and i wanted to read that specifically because the flip side of the kind of hostile press role that we saw in that montage is that there is no question that at a certain point the northern white establishment press particularly, which had unprecedented kind of monopoly of the public s attention in the 1960s came to see what the true nature of southern segregation was, and that coverage really changed perceptions, wouldn t you say, bob? i absolutely agree with that. what i think is dif
