…og that he felt that Custer or Columbus would have been a more appropriate code name for bin Laden, and that the use of Geronimo was just another example of how “We’ve been reduced to caricatures as mascots and entertainment in sports and media.” In fact, the Senate Indian Affairs Committee held hearings recently on American Indians and racist stereotypes, and one of the first items of business was a discussion of why this particular code name wa…

By J. Terry Todd

…bout race found their iconic moment at the 1997 DC rally. When white evangelist John Dawson knelt in prayer to ask forgiveness from his African American brothers for his own sin of racism, men of color gathered around him to affirm his repentance and accept his apology. PK rallies always seemed to draw mostly white men, but there was (and remains) a very real and significant African American presence in leadership positions. PK’s current President…

The Intellectual Source Code For National Conservatism Can Be Found at This Niche Catholic Publication

By Peter Schwartz

…cultural conservatism in the United States. The foundation of this source code (the motherlode of the code, as it were) is Catholic natural law moral philosophy. Natural law is the 800-year-old Thomist tradition that absorbs (from revelation and scripture) and communicates (into public discourse and legal practice) a quite specific understanding of the human individual as the summit of God’s creation.

By Sarah Posner

…st definitely conservative (such as Joel Hunter, who is also on Newsweek’s list) and center-right (such as Jim Wallis, who I’d imagine would be unhappy to be placed on a list of religious right-ists, although one could argue on some issues it’s deserved). Hunter himself, although sharing much the Christian right (he supported, for example, a 2008 measure in his home state of Florida to ban gay marriage), he’s also affiliated himself with “common g…

Including Bono on Glamour’s “Women of the Year” List is Two Steps Backwards

By Sunnivie Brydum

…rs. In 2015, the magazine named newly out trans woman and Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner to its list, prompting backlash from across the ideological spectrum. This year, Glamour apparently decided to avoid that particular brand of controversy—by excluding trans women entirely from the list, but making room for the publication’s very first “Man of the Year.” U2 lead singer Bono takes home the honor, primarily for his work to bring life-saving…

Federal Court Orders Political “False Statement” Case to Proceed Against Susan B. Anthony List

By Sarah Posner

…ederal funding of abortion, in a proposed billboard ad, was false. The SBA List sought to put a halt to the state proceeding — which would in all likelihood investigate whether SBA List and other allies knew that the final health care law did not, in fact, expand federal funding for abortion — by claiming that the Ohio law chilled its free speech. In an order denying the group’s request for a temporary restraining order, federal district judge Tim…

The Biblical Money Code!

By Gordon Haber

…we find an investment advisor named Sean Hyman pushing “The Biblical Money Code,” which claims that advice “woven” into Scripture has helped him go from earning $15,000 to giving away up to $50,000 a year. Unlike Hovind, Hyman is giving away his system for free.
