ELSEWHERE: Terry Eagleton Reflects on American Sincerity

Last updated on: July 4, 2013 at 11:11 pm By Martyn Jones

ELSEWHERE: What Do Peter And Cornelius Really Tell Us About Gay Marriage?

Last updated on: July 2, 2013 at 9:33 pm By Jason Morehead

Because we live in America, the best nation this planet has had the privilege to host. I’m grateful to be an American, and I enjoy the many freedoms and benefits that come with my citizenship.
