DEEP AUTUMN FLOWERS: CRITIQUES OF RELIGIOUS-POLITICAL HYPOCRISY. A blog countering popular forms of political-religious hypocrisy. Hypocrisy concealed under the mantle of nationalism and religion is especially needy of criticism. When injustice is proud, smug, and inconsistent, it should be openly confronted. Added rhetorical flourishes may make explicit value-laden assumptions. I begin with blogs on Justice Antonin Scalia (Immoral Maxims of an Unjust Judge) and Nietzsche.
