High Holidays Watch: Seth Rogen’s Latest Highlights the ‘American Pickle’ of Living with Death

By Shaul Magid

…inundated with death counts occupying the top right corner of almost every news screen. It reminds me of listening, as a young adolescent, to the nightly news in the early 1970s as the anchor duly reported the number of US soldiers killed in Vietnam. After a while we became numb to the numbers. We bantered during the reportage, or got up to get a drink, either because we couldn’t bear to hear it, or because it became meaningless. Numbers are the e…

In ‘The Evangelical Mission to Spread The Gospel to Muslims’ a Journalist Tells a Global Story About Evangelical Missionaries and the Spread of Right-Wing Ideology

By Daniel Schultz

…to Brazil to crusades against the beast of communism to the emergence of a new beast in need of conversion: Muslims. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Tell us about this network of missionaries, which, as I understand it, sort of flows from the US into Latin America and out across the world? Brazil at first received a few missionaries. There were some Presbyterians from the American Board of Missions in 1859—but very few. Then…

Mormon Leaders Slam ‘Counterfeit’ Gay Families; Vatican Resists Gay Ambassador; ISIS Executes Man for Homosexuality; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…that regulated them from directly telling him negative things,” she said. Vietnamese mother-son activists Lily Dinh and Teddy Nguyen say family attitudes in Vietnam have changed since the government decriminalised same-sex marriage. In 2013, Vietnamese government officials organized discussions on same-sex marriage, and invited Dinh – who heads a small chapter of PFLAG, a group for parents and friends of LGBT people – to speak, along with others…

Alex Jones, Performance Artist, and the Duelling Meanings of ‘Sincerity’ in Politics and Public Life

By Spencer Dew

…of the liberal need to attribute an outmoded concept of sincerity to their news sources and heroes as it is a product of the Right’s production and consumption of alt-news, alt-facts, and a relentless hermeneutic of suspicion. The liberal world that believed—and believes—in Barack Obama is, epistemologically, a relic of a simpler time (Camelot, we could call it), while the Right’s foil-hat obsession with plots and subterfuge is the logical reactio…

Close Encounters With Roy Moore

By Sarah Posner

…he hands of the enemy?” Moore, who graduated from West Point and served in Vietnam, is fond of reiterating the he has sworn to uphold Constitution against enemies, both foreign and domestic. He readily agreed that America has been overtaken by enemies within. “Our government is infiltrated with communists, we’ve got Muslims coming in and taking over where we should be having the say about our principles.” And more: “I’m not so sure some in governm…

New Vatican Document Good News for Poor, Bad News for Tea Party

By Daniel C. Maguire

…l will know that you are my disciples” (John 13:35). This document is good news for the poor and bad news for the Tea Party. It says we need globalized solutions for globalized problems; it favors a market economy but not this one; it calls for “supranational authority,” a healthy, non-tyrannical “world political authority” to tame the greed games that strip the poor and gorge the rich; it calls names, deriding “neoliberalism,” the Neocons’ Credo,…

Martin Luther King in the Era of Occupy

By Paul Harvey

…Martin Luther King Jr. excelled. In post-WWII America, King was part of a new generation of Southern black ministers and congregants who played a pivotal role in “refocusing the cultural content” of African-American churches toward a theological framework capable of inspiring and sustaining mass protest. While blanket characterizations of early twentieth century black churches as heirs to an “otherworldly,” “pie-in-the-sky” gospel are certainly o…

Republican Candidates Face Mythical Gays

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…consternation. First, it was Mitt Romney who chose a stereotypical-looking Vietnam veteran to cozy up to at a diner in New Hampshire. Surprise! The vet was a gay man who quizzed Romney on why his spouse should be different from any other when it comes to collecting his military pension. Romney’s collegial tone changed the moment he realized he had encountered “teh gay” and suddenly realized he was late for some other appointment. Rick Perry was ne…

Every Republican Candidate Should Have to Address Gay Rights Face-to-Face

By Joanna Brooks

…e nation, from Alaska and Hawaii to Maine. But after watching the video of Vietnam veteran Bob Garon (who is gay and married) having a direct conversation with Romney about gay rights in a New Hampshire diner, I want to see every single Republican candidate sit down with Garon and answer his question face-to-face: “You do not feel that everyone is entitled to their Constitutional rights?” Because then every candidate, from hardcore social conserva…

Would Gandhi Disband Occupy?

By Ira Chernus

…cial movements organized around resisting racial segregation or the war in Vietnam. One big target does have its advantages. But Gandhi saw his opposition to British rule as merely one part of his larger program of “constructive work.” (Here again Desai errs, claiming that “the more mature” Gandhi shifted his focus from politics to constructive work; in fact the Mahatma never separated the two.) And for most of the constructive program Gandhi had…
