Dems’ “Great Satan” Strategy Falls Apart Right From Start

…a nice boost among progressives from the lengthy cover article in the New York Times Magazine, a good piece of reporting by Gideon Lewis-Krauss suggesting that HRC was absorbing into her rhetoric and into her forward planning some serious critique of the corporate state from the Roosevelt Institute and from the likes of Joe Stiglitz: a critique that cuts far deeper than Bernie’s and that is linked to very specific policy proposals. So yes, she wa…

Overture To Catholics, From an Episcopal Priest

…, just five months later, the tables have turned. Every new edition of the New York Times, it seems, carries fresh disclosures about priestly pedophilia in Ireland, Germany, and (most appallingly) at a Catholic school for the deaf in Wisconsin. Sadly enough, priestly pedophilia is old news by now. What’s new, in the opening of court documents that the Vatican sought desperately to suppress, is that the Catholic hierarchy stubbornly refused to deal…

Nostalgia Voters? Not Really. Trump and His Supporters Value This More Than the Past

…trination” rampant within the public school curriculum. He took aim at the New York Times’ 1619 Project that sought to re-examine America’s racist history, beginning with slavery, calling it “ideological poison” and claiming that its goal was to “dissolve the civic bonds of America” by interpreting our history through a racial lens, worsening already intractable racial divisions. As an alternative Trump declared that day he would sign “an executiv…

Obama’s Religion Ambassador: Inexperienced?

…Web site, online presence, or apparent physical location), Chaplain to the New York Police Department, and a member of the Domestic Policy Council in the Clinton Administration. Impressive, perhaps, for the Christian speakers’ circuit, but not for diplomacy. So why would President Obama choose Cook? Dr. Sujay’s resumé, with no discernible international policy experience, her close ties to the Clinton administration, and several ill-defined busines…

The Democrats’ Real Religion Problem, And All Of Ours

…ves to partisan bickering and embrace the Democrats’ positive agenda. In a New York Times article linking Jon Ossoff’s loss in the special election for a House of Representatives seat in suburban Georgia, Daniel K. Williams at least has the decency to note that both Pres. Obama and Hillary Clinton are forthrightly Christian. Other than that, his piece mostly regurgitates the catechism. Williams, a historian at the University of West Georgia, makes…

With Creation of Little Noticed Department, Pope Francis is Securing Liberal Reforms

…r taste of the austere Benedict XVI’s difficult pontificate. An insightful New York Times article in November highlighted how easily Pope Francis’s gains could be reversed, detailing the race against time he faces to ensure that his vision for the Church survives his death or resignation, by appointing enough liberal cardinals to elect a successor with priorities close to his own. Seventy-seven of the 121 cardinals currently eligible to vote in th…

Never Mind the Libertarians, Here’s the ‘Pragmatist Moment’

By the third paragraph of Robert Draper’s recent New York Times Magazine cover story, “Has the ‘Libertarian Moment’ Finally Arrived?” one starts to suspect that the answer is no. It’s at this point that Lisa Kennedy Montgomery has finished comparing figures from the political Right to bands from the days when she was an MTV VJ known simply as “Kennedy.” Ron Paul is like Nirvana, she says, Rand Paul is like Pearl Jam, and Ted Cruz is, in many ways…

David Barton: Falling from Grace?

…balanced” approach on discussing the “controversial” historian Barton. The New York Times followed the usual tack in its story from May, noting that “many historians call his research flawed, but Mr. Barton’s influence appears to be greater than ever,” and adding that “liberal organizations” were raising the alarm “over what they say are Barton’s dangerous distortions.” In short, Barton’s history came down to some version of the usual liberal-cons…

Pam Geller’s Latest Subway Ad Inadvertently Attacks Hebrew Bible

…absolutely disgusted New Yorkers were, with some even buying counter ads. New Yorkers, of all (or no) faiths, made it clear that they would not tolerate these sentiments. Yet, instead of listening to people in New York, Geller has decided that she wants to further insult our little village of five boroughs running an ad showing a plane smashing into the Twin Towers. No New Yorker would use this image. We were, and remain, deeply traumatized by th…

May GOP Save Us From Chaos: Mircea Eliade on Election 2010

…apparently they aren’t finding it. At least that’s what I read in the New York Times. They’ve got a political analyst named Matt Bai who really understands these deeper motives. Listen to what he’s written lately: “Voters in a lot of the country trusted in an established order that seemed to be working pretty well for them, but then people saw their cities and their industries collapse… With global interdependence comes a certain lack of control….
