By Peter Montgomery

…January 23, as part of a congressional delegation whose itinerary includes Germany, Turkey, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Niger. As Jeff Sharlet has reported, Inhofe has long been the liaison between the secretive evangelical group the Family (aka the Fellowship), and Museveni. Sharlet has also reported that Inhofe ushered David Bahati, author of the anti-gay bill, into the group. Is this a U.S. taxpayer-funded mission trip for Inhofe? Lave…

Pastors for Perry?

…ening in America today that has ever taken place is that which occurred in Germany in the 1920s through the 1940s.” White’s a hero on the religious right speaking circuit, for, as the Iowa Christian Alliance put it in 2007, his advocacy for “the importance of being unwavering in our commitment to stand for Biblical values and defend truth in an increasingly postmodern society.” The Restoration/Renewal Projects are based on a model developed in Cal…

Red Riding Hood Arouses Man’s Inner (Were)Wolf

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…nd Counter-Reformation. Or the fact that in 1589, Stubbe Peeter of Bedpur, Germany, confessed (under torture and threat of imminent execution) to being the serial rapist of his own sister and daughter, a child murderer, a cannibal, and a werewolf who had sold his soul in a sort of Satanic contract. This was widely reported in all the new-print European tabloids of the day. And then there’s the fact that the Brothers Grimm were not the original sou…

Milquetoast Liberal Religion Won’t Challenge Conservative Values: A History Lesson

By Sheila D. Collins

…Depression and having seen how economic desperation had led to fascism in Germany, called for an Economic Bill of Rights that began with the guarantee of what he subsequently referred to as the “paramount right”—the right to living-wage work that would “earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation.” In addition, he called for the right to decent housing, adequate medical care, good education, adequate protection from the econo…

Glenn Beck’s Nazi Tourette’s

By The Editors

…ating the common good in society. Beck was moved by Greer’s rather moderate statement to respond, on his Premier Radio Networks show, thusly: This leads to death camps. A Jew, of all people, should know that. This is exactly the kind of talk that led to the death camps in Germany. Put humankind and the common good first. This is one of those statements—and Beck is one of those figures—that only comedy can confront. It doesn’t exist on the plane of…

A Brief History of Olympic Flames

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…Altis of Olympia in 1936, then carried overland by runners from Greece to Germany (the event in Leni Reifenstahl’s famous film, Olympia). Coubertin, for whom Berlin was to be the last Olympiad, loved the idea. It captured much of what he was after with his revival. But after the war that followed so tragically and so soon, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) needed to detach the flame from its historical origins if they wanted to maintain i…

American Idol(atry): McCain-as-Jesus

By Brian Kaylor

…f those pesky little voices from unholy and sinful nations like France and Germany. We could find ourselves demanding that other nations follow our commandments and dictates because we know better than they about how they should live their lives. We could find ourselves believing—as George W. Bush blasphemously declared during his 2003 State of the Union Address—that the American people have replaced Jesus with their “power, wonder-working power.”…

By Bruce Wilson

…occupy a blessed, privileged role in the divine scheme, though he has also promoted, in his sermons and literature, theological themes derived from classic Christian tropes identified by many writers, such as James Carroll in Constantine’s Sword, as forming the core of historical Christian anti-Semitism. Hagee adds some contemporary touches—such as his variation on a classical conspiracy theory alleging that “international financial power brokers…

Blood and Politics — Christian White Nationalism in the Age of Obama

By Bill Berkowitz

…e old Norse gods is not about theology or even ethics, but about style and promoting their subculture. In a similar sense, there are neo-Confederates and White nationalists who believe that “Christian-ness” is one aspect of their Western civilization—along with respect for tradition, authority, and Whites-only citizenship rights. For this wing of the movement, best exemplified in my book by a now-deceased Washington Times columnist Sam Francis, op…

Sex Work: In Bed with the Religious Right

By Dagmar Herzog

…my prior book, Sex after Fascism: Memory and Morality in Twentieth-Century Germany (2005), which offered a major revision of our assumptions about the Third Reich’s sexual politics and its aftermath, including close attention to the complicity of the Christian churches under Nazism. In his book American Fascists, Chris Hedges had drawn direct parallels between the religious right in the United States and the Nazis, but I thought that was not the p…
