Description
On today’s Remnant, recorded in the wilds of Oklahoma, Jonah once again attempts to fuse the weekend Ruminant format with that of a supplemental episode. He begins by elaborating on his pro-life views and what abortion law would look like if he were made czar for a day. Afterward, a nerdtastic dive into the morass of intellectual history begins, as Jonah uses an extract from The Tyranny of Clichés (which is still available from all good book sellers, hint-hint) to explore what separation of church and state really means in American life. Tune in not just to hear Jonah’s patented progressive-bashing, but to either commend or correct his pronunciation of a certain troublesome name.
Show Notes:
-Moynihan on partial-birth abortion
-Locke’s “A Letter Concerning Toleration”
-JFK (or possibly Mayor Quimby) and Catholicism
-Mario Cuomo’s Notre Dame speech
-Jonah’s deep affection for Richard Ely
