Anthony List promply used Scozzfava as Exhibit A for the further marginalization of moderate Republicans. “When a GOP candidacy is not based on fundamental conservative values, the party and the principles are inevitably betrayed and critical moments . . . . These principles are not only right, they are the path to electoral victory,” the group’s president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, s…

…religion” in the Left Behind movies) was stepping up to critique the pluralistic spirituality promoted by Beck. In Howse’s view, the not-so-fictional Left Behind novels are being played out before our eyes. Pastors and evangelical leaders literally locked arms with all faiths, including Imams, in a spiritual endeavor despite the clear biblical warnings of II Corinthians 6:14… The Mormon Church is now rejoicing over the public relations success th…

…s, and even the newly beleaguered Eddie Long. Even Mother Teresa makes his list of heretics. Apparently, feeding the poor and clothing the naked makes one a “heretic” in Grizzard’s book (don’t tell Jesus!). Fred Phelps didn’t make the list, so that should be a hint of just who Grizzard’s fellow believers might look like. On their website (NB: mute your computer unless your idea of a good time is Amazing Grace on an infinite loop), they encourage o…

By Shalom Goldman

…h the world—in this particular worldview anyway. Immediately following the list of what’s not wrong with (and what is right about) Israel, Goldberg writes: “If this can be so stipulated, we can move on to a more difficult conversation…” It’s a shameless rhetorical strategy: Just accept my assertions and then we can proceed with the conversation. Or, to put it another way, now that the reviewer has claimed (and the reader has agreed) that Israel an…

Bartholomew: “I can see why Freund would enthuse over this, but it’s less clear why a conservative evangelical like Hutchens would want to promote the idea of 500,000 to 1 million Portuguese and Spaniards embracing a religion other than Christianity. Such are the mysteries of Christian Zionism.” Coral Ridge Ministries Produces Is Jesus God?: Since…

Will Catholic Voters Support LGBT Rights in Washington State?

By Joanna Brooks

…. We produced a flyer and factsheet and sent them to everyone on our email list. And I heard from people who stood outside mass to pass out our flyers and were asked to leave by the priest. But as they stood on the curb, they said 200 people rolled down their car windows and took their flyers and gave them thumbs up. They were very encouraged. It’s a strong campaign by the bishops. I wish they would put this money and energy into programs that wou…

A Question for Hobby Lobby Supporters…

…t both include contraception. So is the salient difference the size of the list? Is there some number of things-this-paper-can-be-used-for that puts the employer at a safe moral distance from the act, where previously they had been complicit? If so, what’s the number?
