Bin Laden’s Death Does Not Prove that Torture Works

By Sarah Sentilles

…City, Washington DC, and in baseball stadiums, waving flags and chanting “U-S-A! U-S-A!” Many of the newscasters seemed to want to celebrate, too, as they parroted (and continue to parrot) the dominant narrative: bin Laden’s killing was revenge for 9/11; bin Laden’s killing made the deaths of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan worthwhile; bin Laden’s killing proves torture works. Justice was served, people said, which is just a fancy, tricky, mislea…

5 Reasons We Shouldn’t Be Surprised that Catholics Support LGBT Rights

By Paul Gorrell

…of the people involved. Catholics practice the art of translation when it comes to moral decision-making and, in this practice, are highly pragmatic. The teaching of the Church does not dictate their thinking or demand blind obedience. (4) Catholics are highly skeptical of the sexual teaching of their Church. Ever since Pope Paul VI delivered Humanae Vitae in the 60s—the papal encyclical on sexuality which seemed incongruent with the sexual revol…

Palin’s Prayer Shield

By Anthea Butler

…a shell corporation, Safari Investments. At the same time, she played a not-very-ordinary mom, with worries about her daughter Bristol’s upcoming new reality show. The limelight isn’t pretty for Palin: Roger Ailes walked back comments attributed to him about how “dumb” Palin is. A former aide, Frank Bailey, has been promoting his negative book about Palin, Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin, released this week. Bailey’s book is also competing against…

What Obama’s Speech Lacked

By Daniel Schultz

…andal-wearing, Jesus-bearded peacenik hippie for saying so, but just once —- once! —- I would like an American president to draw a causal connection between this part of his speech: And so at this moment, as we wind down the war in Iraq, we must tackle those challenges at home with as much energy, and grit, and sense of common purpose as our men and women in uniform who have served abroad. They have met every test that they faced. Now, it is our t…

Irony of the Iranian Women’s Burqa Ban

By Shabana Mir

…resounding slap to Osama—oh, wait, he’s too dead to feel the slap. As Every-Muslim-Woman, I’m bored. I am bored to tears of the head-cover or veil being the cynosure of the global gaze. I am embarrassed for the community of nations that, like a broken record or a doddering old fellow, cannot stop droning on and on about “In our day, we never saw such an unseemly piece of fabric on women’s heads/faces/necks/arms/legs; whatever happened to nice girl…

Ghana’s LGBT Population Safe From Persecution, But Not Prosecution

By Warren Throckmorton

…’t how I see my role, and certainly not in the first week of starting” her new role as Commissioner. Given that Ms. Lamptey’s remarks comes from a recent Mills’ appointee, it may be safe to assume that the President will not take a strong policy position either in favor of decriminalization or against it. Coming out in favor of decriminalization would put the government at odds with Christian and Islamic groups who have promised no support for any…

Rick Warren’s Illiteracy Problem

By Paul Wallace

…s, he’s launching a new Bible study called “40 Days in the Word.” In a year-end webcast he plugged the new study, insisting that “Americans are biblically illiterate. They just don’t know the Word of God… Our parents’ generation knew the Word of God pretty well. My generation knew a little bit. The next generation knows none of it.” He may be right. Over the last several years it has become clear that American Christians know little about the Bibl…

Santorum Satire Gone Wild

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…Google problem coincides with the my not-wanting-to-use-double-entendre-in-a-story-about-Rick-Santorum-but-finding-it-difficult-to-avoid-doing-so-unintentionally problem. If a bad pun arises, I apologize in advance.) But even we who are not Santorum boosters would be well-advised, I think, to do two things: 1) Leave his wife’s medical history out of it 2) Try not to get punked by satire. If you haven’t received your copy of Internet Drama Daily t…

Was Ghana Anti-Gay Scare Just Politics?

By Warren Throckmorton

…Sodom and Gomorrah for Africa. While the accuracy of the original story is open to question, only a spark is needed to get a fire going—intentionally or not. And given the rhetoric in Ghana, it is difficult to avoid comparison to Uganda’s recent history in relation to sexual minorities. In March, 2009, three Americans spoke at a conference on homosexuality and used false and misleading information to inflame public sentiment against gays. Later th…

Taking the Right-Wing Echo Chamber to the Halls of Congress

By Lauri Lebo

…uggestions shows just how tightly sealed the right-wing echo chamber has become. While the new conservative freshman don’t appear to be the kind of politicians who would need schooled on the proper Republican talking points, Bachmann’s taking no chances, as she makes clear in her remark about them being co-opted. Anyone who might provide an alternative to Barton’s interpretation, or even someone who might just give a straight generally accepted in…
