As US Reaches a 1940s Fork in the Road — Which Path Will We Choose?

By John Stoehr

…is day. Nazi influence in the US culminated with a huge march and rally in New York City in 1939. Thousands gathered in Madison Square Garden to listen to blatantly fascist speeches under the banners of George Washington adorned with swastikas. In 1940, FDR gave a fresh directive to hunt down Nazis. The FBI built a secret spy headquarters inside the 30 Rock building to spy on Nazi activities worldwide, but especially in South America where they co…

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

By Peter Laarman

…d up 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, sh…

Overture To Catholics, From an Episcopal Priest

By Randall Balmer

…, 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

By Samuel Perry and Andrew Whitehead

…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…

The Democrats’ Real Religion Problem, And All Of Ours

By Daniel Schultz

…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…

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

By Eric C. Miller

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…

Evangelicals, Oppose Park51 At Your Own Eschatological Risk

By Stephen V. Anderson

…ew blog posts, op-eds, protests, or commentary from an observer in upstate New York. A recent blog post by Chuck Norris on the American Family Association’s Web site summarizes what many evangelical commentators think about the president’s recent foray into all that is Park51. “Obama is not just rebooting America’s image in the Muslim world. He’s deepening and expanding Islamic belief, practice, culture around the world, like a Muslim missionary.”…

Glenn Beck’s Salvation Army

By Peter Montgomery

…n had indeed restored its honor. The prayer Lee cited had been composed by New York state officials to be read in public school classrooms at the start of the school day. Lee said the prayer “is not an establishment of any particular religion, but an acknowledgment of a truth, and a debt we owe God.” The Supreme Court, with only a single dissenting vote, disagreed. The Court’s decision appealed to the same founders that Beck and Barton are claimin…

We Were Here Before September 11th

By Amina Wadud

…w when he was a toddler), is opening up in Chicago. It opened last week in New York to grave reviews and a few awards. If you are near by I hope you check it out: “Mooz-lum”, the movie. It is not the story of every African-American Muslim but it is a story about African-American Islam, in one of its many reflections. We are here. We were here before September 11, 2001. Since we survived the peculiar institution of race-based slavery in America, de…

Pam Geller’s Latest Subway Ad Inadvertently Attacks Hebrew Bible

By Hussein Rashid

…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…
