DNC Zombie Lie Count: 4

By Daniel Schultz

…is is simply, empirically wrong. Abortion routinely rates quite low on the list of voter priorities, anti-choice votes are mostly concentrated in Republican-friendly states that weren’t going to go for Democrats anyway, and, well, Democrats seem to have done quite well in recent presidential cycles. Two things about this particular version of the argument stand out to me. Sixty-four Democrats voted for the antiabortion Stupak amendment to the Affo…

Bibi’s Bad History

By Shaul Magid

…thing they get is only an act of Israeli generosity. The speech goes on to list Rohani’s duplicity and the danger of Iran, topped off with a tragic story of Netanyahu’s grandfather and great-uncle being pursued and beaten by anti-semites somewhere in “the heart of Europe,” gesturing to the Nazis but extending beyond them. The finale proclaims that “biblical prophecies are being realized,” supported by a quote from the prophet Amos that the Jews “w…

Noah vs. 1929 Epic Noah’s Ark

By Gwynne Watkins

…29. Called Noah’s Ark, it was directed by Michael Curtiz, whose impressive list of credits would later include Casablanca. Like the new film directed by Darren Aronofsky, it was ridiculously expensive to make and plagued by production disasters. The similarities don’t quite end there, but it’s the differences that may be most illuminating. First off, a disclaimer: I have not seen an advance screening of Noah, nor have I seen Noah’s Ark. Regarding…

Mormons Take Even More Activist Message to DC Pride March

By Joanna Brooks

…e call for signature gatherers that went out over one congregation’s email list. But even without formal LDS Church involvement in Maryland, you feel compelled to take a more political stance than the Salt Lake City marchers. Martin Luther King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail said, “We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.” Many good me…

Stop Policing the Borders of Christianity

By Brandy Daniels

Last Friday, Brandon Bitner was the latest in a still-growing list of teenagers who have committed suicide for reasons related to sexuality. A few weeks ago, another young gay man from New York City, Joseph Jefferson, hung himself. Joseph, who graduated from Harvey Milk High and worked at Gay Men of African Descent on HIV prevention, left a final Facebook message before he took his life: “I could not bear the burden of living as a gay man of colo…

By Patricia Miller

…essed peoples—whether they be refugees and immigrants or the poor—to their list of key priorities, despite the fact that they are a clear priority for Francis, and, therefore, the church. (Although they did work in some language about concern for the poor and immigrants.) And there was virtually no mention of growing economic inequality or the corrosive effects of unfettered capitalism. But pornography got a 22-page official pastoral statement. Ac…

A Pair of Courts Issue Revolutionary Rulings on LGBT Equality: One Scathing, One Beautiful

By Sunnivie Brydum

…ederal courts to vindicate their claims to human dignity, but as the names listed above make clear, the judiciary’s response has been decidedly mixed. Today, G.G. adds his name to the list of plaintiffs whose struggle for justice has been delayed and rebuffed; as Dr. King reminded us, however, “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” G.G.’s journey is delayed but not finished. G.G.’s case is about much more than bathro…
