The Federalist Society is this conservative legal organization. And I think, for the Bush administration, being a member of the Federalist Society meant you were - a reliable, ideological, partisan Republican.

It meant that, basically, meant that you were a real movement conservative, a Party regular. That's what being a Federalist Society member means.

Vinnie JonesEven though I grew up in an area of England that was more conservative than my personal politics and my family's personal politics, I grew up with a lot of guy friends. There was no real difference between us. When I moved to London, it really became apparent that gender was going to make a mark. I started experiencing sexual intimidation and aggression. People coming up to women on the streets and telling them how hot they are and what they wanted to do to them. For me, that was shocking coming from a village. I thought intersexuality was a great way of exploring that shock.
Abigail TarttelinAsking the question whether the mainstream media has a liberal or conservative bias is like asking whether al Qaeda uses too much oil in their hummus.

And the problem with the mainstream media is that it has these other biases that are much more important.

The Republican Party is hated. The alternative conservative media is hated.

Chris HayesThere are a lot of things that can be learned from the darker corners of athletics. You have doctors who view bodybuilders as cavalier amateurs of science.

Donald MillerPeople who do not know the Bible well have been gulled into thinking it is a good guide to morality. This mistaken view may have motivated the "millionaire Conservative party donors".

The surest way to disabuse yourself of this pernicious falsehood is to read the Bible itself.
