By Elizabeth Drescher

…ent, the banks looted the nation’s wealth while destroying countless small businesses and brought the whole economy to its knees in a covert, clean manner, rather like organised crime… These kids would have to riot and steal every night for a year to run up a bill equivalent to the value of non-paid tax big business has ‘avoided’ out of the economy this year alone.

Franklin Graham Defends Himself from Birtherism Charges by Engaging in… Birtherism

By Sarah Posner

…t wow — why couldn’t Graham just say, “Land’s right. Obama was born in the United States, and is a Christian” and be done with it? No. He’s got to throw in a little shari’ah, because, you know, no discussion of Obama’s religion would be complete without it.

By Andrew L. Seidel

…of these nominees. As Senator Whitehouse said today, “It absolutely is the business of this committee to make sure that nominees who seek judicial office in the United State of America will leave their religious beliefs in the robing room and not bring them up onto the bench . . . Our courts are not temples to any god, but temples to law and justice.” In short, some nominees have made their religion the business of the committee. Cruz berated Book…

By Sikivu Hutchinson

…an, to its executive director position is yet another indication that this business-as-usual rehab strategy also applies to movement atheism, which can be just as corrupt, cronyistic, and swaggeringly hostile to women as corporate America.
