Before Breitbart: How Right Wing Media Transformed American Politics

By Eric C. Miller

…onal Review as its publisher in 1957. By the mid-1950s, then, there were a number of conservative periodicals, publishing houses, and radio shows. And they weren’t just isolated outlets scattered across the country. They were intimately connected through overlapping donors, personnel, and relationships. Regnery was an early sponsor of the Manion Forum. Manion sat on the board of National Weekly, which oversaw National Review. Editors at Human Even…

As Larry Summers Gently Sleeps: Will Obama Ever Turn Against Plutocracy?

By Peter Laarman

…banks, using bailout money to hire throngs of lobbyists to write their own ticket. Take the Chrysler mess. This week’s hot business story, in case you missed it, is about bankers and hedge funds—again including some bailout beneficiaries—wanting to pull Chrysler over the brink into a bankruptcy that would be catastrophic for workers and communities across a huge swath of the country. Why were they demanding bankruptcy? Because their bonds would be…

Fragments of Secular Sanctity

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…museum in our sense of that word—anyone, male or female, could purchase a ticket on any day the museum was open, and wander freely among the nude statues of pagan deities. Then, just twenty years later in 1754, Pope Benedict XIV created the “Naked Academy” (l’Accademia del Nudo) inside the very palace where the Capitoline collection was housed. The idea was to promote the fine arts, by providing a space in which contemporary artists could sketch…

Killing For Religion, Not God

By Haroon Moghul

…nia only happened fifteen years ago; I wish I could buy my interlocutors a ticket to Sarajevo, and answer them only after their visit. We should not forget that Europe’s violent spasms ended but very recently, and with the death of those generations who intimately recall Nazism and the Holocaust, Soviet Communism and the Gulag, it is possible the temptation to return to ugly ideologies will only increase. Recently, the Boston Review covered the ri…

Is the Ryan VP Pick Good for Mormonism?

By Joanna Brooks

…party types who will now turn out enthusiastically. It adds pizzazz to the ticket. An ideological firebrand is the one thing Romney has never been accused of being, and now he can borrow that heat. I believe that Romney or the people close to him pushed Romney for some of these reasons—including getting past the Mormon moment and the focus on Romney’s character. The persistent question about Romney has been: who is this man? What made him who he i…

If Hillary Wins Big It Won’t Be a Moral Victory—And That’s a Crying Shame

By Peter Laarman

…Joe Biden impersonation can’t compensate for this defect at the top of the ticket. No number of morally-impassioned surrogates can compensate. We should not forget that a widely-shared yearning for a moral revolution formed the heart of the Sanders movement. We shouldn’t forget that this surge of moral energy surprised the Vermont senator himself, or that it was really a remarkable thing to behold, especially considering the many liabilities of th…

New Poll Shows Gays and Lesbians Believe in God

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ality is a sin and that it is one of the worst sins and will surely be our ticket to eternal flames. When that’s been your introduction to a text – you tend to be shy about giving it ultimate authority in your life. But, what has happened for most gay and lesbian Christians is that they have dedicated themselves to in-depth study of the Bible – not just a surface reading. Many books have been written about what the Bible really says about homosexu…

Strippers versus Church: Cosmic Battle With Civic Consequences

By Joseph Laycock

…equest was also denied citing freedom of speech—though a judge limited the number of protestors that could be present to fifteen. So on August 8, George and several of his strippers decided to turn the tables by holding their own protest in front of the church during Sunday morning services. The Foxhole dancers (some of whom complained of sleep deprivation) did not match Pastor Dunfee’s zeal. Rather than bullhorns, they came equipped with lawn cha…

HBO’s Game Change Hits, But Sarah Palin Pic Misses Religion

By Anthea Butler

…t got the ball rolling. Clearly in need of a conservative Christian on the ticket, and not being the favorite of evangelicals like James Dobson for his previous stances on social issues, McCain decided to tack toward Pentecostals, gaining endorsements from John Hagee and Rod Parsley. Those short-lived fiascoes left him in search of endorsements from prominent Christians. What Game Change did not show was how Richard Land and others had promoted Pa…

Sarah Palin: Obama Wants to Make White People Slaves

By Anthea Butler

…candidate and the trouble that ensued from bringing her on the Republican Ticket. Palin has been in full-tilt mode, bringing out her supporters to condemn the movie, in an attempt to deflect the depiction of her performance as a troubled, unstable VP candidate. Palin’s obsession with President Obama’s vetting as a candidate only serves to put the spotlight back on how unprepared Palin was not only as a candidate, but to take the office of vice pr…
