By Frederick Clarkson

…teemed authors.” The Coalition’s weekly broadcast, which is available on a number of cable channels, is almost always deeply political, and has featured such guests as the aforementioned Lance Walnau; Tony Perkins and Jerry Boykin, president and executive vice president respectively of the Family Research Council; Bob McEwen, executive director of Council for National Policy (a secretive conservative leadership group); and of course David Barton,…

Guns, God and Government — The Coming of White Minority Rule?

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…

By the Way: Religious Right Eats its Own

By Randall Balmer

…uence over the state’s Republican Party, but now it controls a majority of seats on the central committee. Grassley, who was first elected to the United States Senate in 1980 with the help of Religious Right activists, had submitted what should have been a routine request to be seated with the state party’s delegation. He is the ranking member of the Finance Committee and the fifteenth-highest ranking member of the entire Senate. Grassley would ha…

First Roe, Then Contraception: Unless Action is Taken, Supreme Court is About to Strike Down Fundamental Rights of American Women

By Andrew L. Seidel

…e and medical services? First, that case was decided before Roberts was outnumbered by conservative justices who want change now. Roberts is an incrementalist, but still deeply conservative. 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…

When White Terrorism Goes Unpunished: Trump’s Acquittal and the Persistence of Anti-Blackness

By Peter Laarman and Charlene Sinclair

…ologists is that the Senate’s business is to enable senators to keep their seats by any means necessary. 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. Got it.” Grah…

‘Defund the Police’ Isn’t the Problem

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…

We Can Finally Put the Lie to Trumpism: 5 Myths Debunked By a Biden Victory

By John Stoehr

…y in making the accusation stick. The party could lose as many as 10 House seats in swing districts while keeping its majority. Already, Democrats are blaming “socialism.” So are some pundits who really ought to know better but don’t, because it’s convenient not to. Fact is, Trump is to blame. He was at the top of the ticket. But by running away from “socialism,” they are giving credence to the accusation, making it more real and more powerful tha…

Corporation as ‘Citizen’ is the Next Anti-Black, Anti-Democratic Model that Needs to be Torn Down

By Peter Laarman

…ns, we name buildings in their honor, and we give them the lion’s share of seats on philanthropic boards. Financiers especially dominate the boards of elite colleges, with two-thirds of the officer spots (i.e., chair, vice chair, secretary, and treasurer) at the nation’s top thirty private colleges going to these sharks. Ever wonder why super-elite institutions enroll more students from the top 1% than the bottom 60%? Just look at their boards. It…

‘Empty the Pews’ Chronicles the ‘Nurtured Insanity’ of a Fundamentalist Upbringing

By Frank Schaeffer

…am. Throughout my early childhood, we Schaeffers were busy littering train seats, café tables, and assorted telephone booths all over Europe with luridly illustrated little pamphlets “in the local language, in case someone is led to read it,” as Dad said. They had titles such as “What Must I Do to Be Saved?” and “Is There a Heaven and Hell?” and “Where Will I Spend Eternity?” Sometimes, as our train roared through Italian or Swiss towns, Dad would…
