By Frederick Clarkson

…gram descriptions. Whatever his fate in these matters, Rapert epitomizes a number of trends on the Christian Right, here in the End Times. While the notion that the Christian Right is dead, diminished or in precipitous decline may never die, the movement nevertheless continues to grow and adapt to the ever-evolving religious and political landscape.

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…oliticians held decades before them. They’re joined by a small but growing number of majority non-white voters, activists, and elected officials who’ve grown disillusioned with a Democratic party that has repeatedly ignored its populist roots and embraced neoliberalism. Currently, we face a reactionary right-wing that’s attempting to impose white minority rule based on three principles: God, Guns, and [control of the] Government. The first princip…

They appear to support the view that the Senate’s main business is to make calculated decisions based on votes and money, even when such decisions further cement an unholy marriage with white nationalists and even when the calculation means taking direction from powerful reactionary forces that want to keep the flames of hate burning for the sa…

Rev. Raphael Warnock Tweets ‘I am a pro-choice pastor’ and Suddenly a Public Figure’s Religion is Fair Game

By John Stoehr

…Perdue, is the site of intense national focus. If the Democrats take both seats, they win control of the upper chamber. This more than anything explains the extreme online reaction Tuesday to a short tweet by Warnock, declaring “I am a pro-choice pastor.” To wit: Charlie Kirk: “You cannot be pro-abortion and also be a Christian.” Erick Erickson: “So not really a follower of the actual Jesus, but the one you’ve conjured in your head.

By John Stoehr

…ip blamed it, as well as quote-unquote socialism, for the Democrats losing seats in the House (but keeping their majority). Coupled with the party not doing as well in the Senate as they were expected to, the conventional wisdom in Washington is now that the Democrats lost despite winning. If that weren’t maddening enough, then came Barack Obama. The former president has written a book that’s naturally getting a lot of attention. Understandably, g…

By Andrew L. Seidel

He wants to change things slowly to preserve the legitimacy of the court and its ability to move the country in line with his conservative ideology. But now there are five conservatives who don’t care, who, as we’ve just seen, are willing to overturn precedent…
