Political Reporters Start Reading Religious Right Books

…vilating their government awarded 501 c3 status. They will even have voter registration booths in their church lobbies which will be open after a rather pointed sermon, “I don’t want to influence how you vote but . . . .” Let’s not forget how a mere four years ago Mike Huckabee (himself an SBC pastor considered a moderate by some in his denomination!) gave a Christmas sermon at John Hagee’s church, said that the Constitution should be amended to c…

The Only Common Denominator of American Conservatism is Anti-Blackness

…Prissy’s back. Preventing that ‘eureka moment’ Republican officials’ voter registration purges and restricting the possibility of voting for Black people is the pursuit of Klan business by other means. They will say, however, that they aim to protect voting rights. It’s never enough to beat Black people down. We must be mocked. Even if every one of a conservative’s errors is one that furthers the cause of fascism they will be given the benefit of…

White Christian Complaints About Religious Persecution Are Especially Ugly on MLK Day

…p’s most blatant attack on this bedrock principle: his suggested mandatory registration of American Muslims, and a blanket ban on entry into the U.S. of anyone who practices Islam. Instead, Perkins suggested that “President-elect Trump must direct that religious freedom be properly integrated into all foreign policy of the United States at every level.” (Emphasis added.) It’s been well documented, here on RD and elsewhere, that American evangelica…

T-Shirts and Minarets: The Rending of the Social Contract

…s the religious minority is allowed to wear in public, like in France, and registration of worship spaces. Several commentators note that many of the Muslims in Switzerland are European, from Eastern Europe or Turkey, and therefore are phenotypically white, reducing the racial component in all of these debates. I am uncomfortable with this reasoning as it ignores the experience of racial categories of whiteness that we saw in the US, and which wer…

Arizona Supreme Court Rules Against Disenfranchisement — But Privacy Issues Remain

…zenship was not confirmed because of a glitch in the state’s DMV and voter registration system can vote the full ballot, state and federal. The situation stems from a unique-to-Arizona state law that requires voters to prove their citizenship before they can legally register to vote, and regards an Arizona driver’s license issued after October 1996 to be sufficient proof. A coding error in the state’s DMV database incorrectly marked tens of thousa…

Mega-Church and State Separation? Not in an Election Year

…rograms and services to help resurrect the dying church, including a voter registration program with the goal of registering every eligible voter in his congregation. Atkins claims to even “lick the envelope and stick on the stamp for them.“ Before you get bent out of shape about blurring lines separating church and state and how churches don’t deserve their tax exemption and they’re all just in it to establish a theocracy, though, consider this:…

Southern Baptist Convention Kicks Out Gay Attendees, Waffles on White Supremacists

…enix, Arizona. All told, five people were removed and had their conference registrations revoked, allegedly without formal explanation. All of those removed are affiliated with Faith in America (FIA), a progressive nonprofit dedicated to “[moving] the needle forward on LGBTQ equality in the pews and in our legislation.” Brandan Robertson, a 24-year-old bisexual cisgender man, and former SBC youth leader, told RD that he and a colleague had noticed…

If You Were Faced With Him

…an in-laws gave her a car, which had to be cleared at customs before local registration. Then we went to the farmers’ market, the flea markets, and the swap meet. She insists on using a baby carrier instead of a stroller. So I held her six-month-old while she pillaged through a sea of clothing. That’s a lot of holding, trust me. When we finally returned to her place, I was hungry, but I just could not take another moment of being so family-oriente…

Calvary is Bleak, But Can it Kick?

…oss his face in moments of encounter with that ugliness. But it’s merely a registration of the fact that suffering is inescapable. Father James moves on, full speed ahead, to compassion. Nonetheless, the film depicts the kind of place where the town tart wears a leopard print coat and red lipstick; the town doctor is a cokehead whose paths drip oily facetiousness (and is played by Game of Thrones’ Aiden Gillen, aka Littlefinger, with his Littlefin…
