Glenn Beck Hijacks It’s a Wonderful Life

By Lauri Lebo

UPDATE: Listen to Glenn Beck read and attack this post on air. Great, so now, just in time for the holidays, Glenn Beck tries to co-opt one of the few unifying rituals of this season, one of the remaining events that we on all sides of the political and religious spectrum can sit down and truly enjoy together. Yes, Beck is now trying to steal the great 1946 Frank Capra classic It’s a Wonderful Life and turn it into a rallying cry for the conserva…

When Conservatives Turn Revolutionary

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…ere for anyone in the current or future US administration with the ears to listen and the eyes to look. Several aspects of this curious French experiment in the Ionian Sea merit our attention. Doubly so when the strategies and rituals in the current Iraq campaign can seem so eerily similar: the forced rhetoric of liberation and democracy disguising the realities of crude power politics; the ceremonial destruction of images and statues from the old…

Justice v. Revenge: The Question Beneath the Question of Prison Reform

By Xarissa Holdaway

…our brains, which makes the admonition “an eye for an eye” in Hammurabi’s code sound less like savagery and more like a way to keep everybody in check. To punish more than the guilt deserves has been a legal problem, apparently, since at least 1792 B.C.E or so. The distinction between justice and vengeance matters, because vengeance costs an enormous amount to taxpayers, and, as reformers on both sides of the aisle argue, our own moral selves. Pe…

HHS Issues Proposed Rule Expanding Religious Exemption for Contraception Coverage

By Sarah Posner

…efs; and is a non-profit organization as described in the Internal Revenue Code. Religious organizations protested that this four-pronged test would only exempt houses of worship, but not, say, a church that served people of different faiths through a soup kitchen. Under the new proposed rule (which is still subject to a public comment period), an employer seeking an exemption would only have to meet the forth prong of the test, thus widely expand…

Israeli Right Demonizes Israeli Left, With American Money

By Diane Winston

…lear of causes, issues, or ideas that would place them in the progressive (code name for lefty-socialist) camp. In the meantime, the legacy media has muzzled itself, likewise fearful of the right’s blanket criticism of the “liberal press.” (For more on this see David Domke’s study of the post 9/11 press: Political Fundamentalism in the White House, the ‘War on Terror’ and the Echoing Press.) Returning to the initial question: why have American new…

Leave Your Stereotypes at the Door: 10Q on “Keeping it Halal”

By John O'Brien

…? Why? In addition to Mitch Duneier’s Sidewalk, I would say Eli Anderson’s Code of the Street. It’s such a wonderful example of using the ethnographic method to dig beneath common stereotypes and reveal the social dynamics underlying a supposedly well-understood phenomenon. In his case, he’s looking at the situation of inner-city violence among young African American men. By carefully observing, listening, documenting, and then analyzing, he is ab…

Catholic Archbishop Takes On Jesuit Magazine’s Slam on “Ecumenism of Hate”; and More in Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…lical fundamentalists, they wrote, is the xenophobia and Islamophobia that promotes “walls and purifying deportations.” “Triumphalist, arrogant and vindictive ethnicism is actually the opposite of Christianity,” they said. AP’s Rachel Zoll called La Civilta Cattolica Antonio Spadaro “a close confidant” of Pope Francis. Conservative Archbishop Charles Chaput responded in a commentary, calling the article “an exercise in dumbing down and inadequatel…

For Many Christian Zionists, Israeli Protesters are a Threat to God’s Plan

By Aidan Orly

…s history, the CHPP blames Israeli protesters and—again, using antisemitic code—their supposed “globalist” funders for dividing Israeli society. (To add to the irony, just last week U.S. evangelical groups railed against Netanyahu’s far-right government for authoring a bill that would limit Christian groups’ ability to proselytize in Israel. In response, Netanyahu froze the bill). This isn’t the first time Christian Zionists have condemned Jews wh…

I Met God, She’s Black: An Exhibit Makes the Black Female Body a Temple

By Anita Little

…the opportunity to walk through Black Woman is God: Reprogramming that God Code with Oakland native Seneferu and to ask her about the artwork and the movement it means to inspire. _________ Anita Little: Can you tell me more about what led you to curate this unbelievable collection? Karen Seneferu: I’ve been fortunate enough to be in gallery spaces or museums where I was able to show my own artwork, but I was either the only black artist or the on…

Values Voters Summit: Preaching Wins the Morning

By Sarah Posner

…ed into the “founding principles,” “Judeo-Christian” foundation, and other code, but they did more. They wept; they told stories about soldiers and family members; they evoked imagery of mountains climbed and enemies vanquished. Mitt Romney, though? Not so much. Speaking directly after Pence, who since the inaugural Values Voters Summit in 2006, has always invoked the language of the religious right base, Romney was at a disadvantage. He was borin…
