…funded abortion from this legislation,” said Marjorie Dannefelser, the SBA List’s president. Yet their campaign to settle for nothing less than Stupak-Pitts is, as Jodi Jacobson ably chronicled at RH Reality Check, filled with misinformation. Charmaine Yoest, president of Americans United for Life, claimed, without basis, that the Senate bill would “redefine” abortion as health care. In fact, no health plan would be required to cover abortion serv…

…often much stronger than they look. Readers are urged to quarrel with this list or make up their own list. The point is to keep hope alive. Here, then, are ten tendrils that offer reason to remain hopeful despite it all: 1. Clarity, maybe. This year we gained an opportunity to achieve greater clarity about how fear and hate reinforce each other, how inspired demagoguery foments both, and how fatal to the health of a body politic a deliberately ind…

Amway, Religious Right Pyramid Scheme, Returns to the Motherland

…M. Hutchens of the Christian Zionist “Jerusalem Connection,” who has been promoting the piece. Why? Bartholomew: “I can see why Freund would enthuse over this, but it’s less clear why a conservative evangelical like Hutchens would want to promote the idea of 500,000 to 1 million Portuguese and Spaniards embracing a religion other than Christianity. Such are the mysteries of Christian Zionism.” Coral Ridge Ministries Produces Is Jesus God?: Since…

Taking the Right-Wing Echo Chamber to the Halls of Congress

…y qualified to teach the course, as opposed to the other two people on the list. I’ve got a deal for Bachmann. I’ll take her seriously on this if she takes the final exam in AP history and gets at least a C on the test. I’d be willing to bet a sizable amount of money she can’t. Actually, I’m just amazed Christine O’Donnell wasn’t on her list. Bachmann’s suggestions shows just how tightly sealed the right-wing echo chamber has become. While the new…

…’s animal killing proclamations don’t seem to have kicked her off the Veep-list yet—at least not officially, according to Trump himself, who dodged the question in an interview this week: “She had a rough couple of days. I will say that.” Pressed further, he seemed to imply that she’s not out of the running: “I like her a lot. I don’t want to comment on anybody on the list.” And Noem did spend the previous weekend at a Mar-a-Lago donor event. Then…

The Myth of the Pro-Life Swing Voter the Dems Must Chase

…it turns out, is a former national field director for the Susan B. Anthony List, who, well, let them tell it: However, Klobuchar’s comments left some abortion-rights and anti-abortion activists cold. The anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony List tweeted that the Minnesota senator is “still extreme & out-of-touch,” pointing to her record of abortion-rights votes[.] Could it be that Crawford was being strategic in his questioning and reaction to Klo…

“Do Not Be A Stupid Idiot!”: Religion and Resentment

…uld be easy to assume that these people are resentful because of this long list of outrages they feel they’ve suffered, but the truth is perhaps the other way around. They have compiled the list because they feel resentment. And what do they resent? I think it’s the loss of a social pecking order. We are approaching a point in both demographics and culture where no one group can set social norms. It seems likely that Harvey’s brand of the politics…

Another Book Burner Lusts for Attention

…s, and even the newly beleaguered Eddie Long. Even Mother Teresa makes his list of heretics. Apparently, feeding the poor and clothing the naked makes one a “heretic” in Grizzard’s book (don’t tell Jesus!). Fred Phelps didn’t make the list, so that should be a hint of just who Grizzard’s fellow believers might look like. On their website (NB: mute your computer unless your idea of a good time is Amazing Grace on an infinite loop), they encourage o…
