Bob McDonnell’s Christian Reconstructionist Thesis

…nd the resulting increased national visibility is fueling speculation that McDonnell might be a strong vice-presidential running mate. But McDonnell comes with some baggage, most significantly his 1989 Masters thesis at Regent University, written under the direction of Reconstructionist Herb Titus. Sarah wrote about Titus’ role in founding Oral Roberts University Law School, where Michele Bachmann earned her law degree, and how, more recently, he…

Beck’s “Dream”—Our Nightmare

…Much of the material is written by Barton himself but one of the essays is McDowell’s, drawn almost entirely from Rushdoony’s work in the early 1960s. McDowell’s discussion of slavery, written in 2003, comes from Rushdoony’s more familiar Institutes of Biblical Law. He attributes his views to Rushdoony and uses precisely the language that Rushdoony used as early as the 1960s. Rushdoony’s writings on slavery are often cited by his critics who have…

Gun Ownership: ‘An Obligation to God’

…of contraception by married couples “illogical.” During his 2009 campaign, McDonnell tried to distance himself from his own work, but Titus told the Washington Post that McDonnell’s thesis was “right.” In 2004, after Judge Roy Moore, another Titus client, was stripped of his position for defying a federal court order to remove his 2.6-ton monument to the Ten Commandments from the rotunda of the Alabama Supreme Court, he joined Titus in drafting th…

Tea Partiers and Religious Right Court at Values Voter Summit

…appointed Barton to serve as an “expert” on its social studies curriculum. McDowell serves on the board of Barton’s organization, WallBuilders. McDowell’s work has been praised in the far-right, conspiracy-mongering tabloid WorldNetDaily, which called his book Liberating the Nations “one of the outstanding resources that describes the basis of our personal, political and religious freedom, as well as economic blessing.” According to WND, McDowell…

Religious Right Very Much Alive in Tomorrow’s Elections

…e insufficiently doctrinaire. In Virginia this summer, it was thought that McDonnell’s 1989 Regent graduate thesis would be his downfall. In it, the then-35 year-old McDonnell posited that working women and feminists were “detrimental” to the family, that the 1972 Supreme Court legalization of contraceptive use by married couples was “illogical,” and called for policy favoritism for married couples over “cohabitators, homosexuals or fornicators.”…

Jesus, Santa, and Now Sound of Music‘s Mother Abbess?

…spite spewing such vitriol, detractors maintained that their opposition to McDonald’s Mother Abbess was not driven by racial bigotry but instead by a desire for “accurate” history. One commenter, Will506, went so far as to write, “Audra McDonald did not belong in the Sound of Music as a black abbess in the Austria of 1938. It is a factual impossibility and respectful negative reaction to that represents not hate speech but a comment on 2013 politi…

…pped state. Sekulow tweeted after the results were official, “called 4 Bob McDonnell here in VA – huge victory for GOP, conservatives, and Regent alums everywhere (Regent in Gov mansion).” McDonnell, in other words, portrayed himself as a moderate while letting his opponent fight the culture war. He wasn’t about to reprise his 2003 position that engaging in anal or oral sex might disquality someone from being a judge; his 1997 vote in the General…

…ding the incitement to boycott. “Even if you want to just take a leak at a McDonald’s bathroom, you can’t help but feel polluted,” a rep from the Alliance told local media. (What an odd thing to say to the press.) The rep also accused McDonald’s of “openly promoting gay issues” and miseducating children on sexual behavior.

As Irish Flee the Church, a Push For Reform

…mban priest, who has written extensively about imminent ecological crises. McDonagh’s archbishop, Diarmuid Martin, is one of the few heroes in the Irish sex abuse scandal. In 2009, Martin opened the diocesan files, enabling victims to seek justice for clerical crimes. His example may not have endeared him to the Vatican, but it did ensure his popularity at home. Yet his overall interest in reform comes nowhere near McDonagh’s or that of Brendan Bu…

…y people are being persecuted and murdered – and not just by Isis.” Writes McDougall: In recent months, the photojournalist Robin Hammond and I have interviewed gay citizens in Africa and the Middle East. Theirs is a narrative of great pain and desperate suffering. Here in the Middle East, it is clear that the taboo against same-sex activity is getting stronger, not weaker, and a corrupted version of Islam finds itself at the heart of much of this…
