Romney Prepping for Evangelical Dance

By Sarah Posner

…t to get out the vote for them,” Marjorie Dannenfelser of Susan B. Anthony List, which endorsed Rick Santorum, told Gibson. He has an “intensity” problem, according to the Family Research Council’s Ken Blackwell (who was once deemed out of the mainstream by Republicans in his home state of Ohio). A move to the center would “kill him,” said Deal Hudson of Catholic Advocate, who thinks that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is too liberal. All…

Romney on Israel: More GOP Than LDS

By Sarah Posner

…the existence of Palestine or its people?” Peterson described Romney’s response as “fairly dismissive,” and that “I really thought he missed an opportunity there to send a message to the Arab community, which is fairly large, too, that I hear your concerns too. That I regret.” Peterson added, “I list myself as a political conservative, I am a quite serious conservative, probably more than Mitt Romney is, probably of a peculiar kind. I really don’t…

National Review’s Kevin Williamson Comes Out Against Daughters, Misunderstands Science

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…ent male and 49 percent female, but the children of the Forbes billionaire list are 60 percent male. Have a gander at that Romney family picture: five sons, zero daughters. Romney has 18 grandchildren, and they exceed a 2:1 ratio of grandsons to granddaughters (13:5). When they go to church at their summer-vacation home, the Romney clan makes up a third of the congregation. He is basically a tribal chieftain. Professor Obama? Two daughters. May as…

David Barton: Falling from Grace?

By Paul Harvey

…History News Network, Barton’s newest work, The Jefferson Lies, topped the list of “least credible history works in print.” The same work met a unanimous chorus of refutations from Jefferson public humanities scholar and radio personality Clay Jenkinson, from religious historians ranging from Martin Marty to John Fea, and (in the full length work Getting Jefferson Right) from Grove City College professors Warren Throckmorton and Michael Coulter. B…

C’mon, Joel, Swerve a Little Bit

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…y give up his daughters to such a fate. That’s just a short, off-the-cuff, list of some of God’s “best,” the ones that God uses to set moral examples for the rest of us through the millennia—murderers, adulterers, child abusers, and polygamists. All behaviors that were chosen, by the way. I figure if these are some of God’s “best” and gay and lesbian people are not, perhaps it’s simply because we have a higher standard of morality than God’s “best…

No Father, The Gay Sky Isn’t Falling

By Jay Michaelson

…a biblical value, practiced by Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, Solomon… the list goes on. If religious values (which, according to dogma, are absolutely and objectively true) are to dictate civil laws, presumably we should re-institute polygamy, strip married women of all rights against their husbands, and regard women as chattel to be purchased: all of which are part of the biblical definition of marriage. Really, though, what’s most amusing about…

80 Million Anglicans Can’t Be Wrong—Or Can They?

By Elizabeth Drescher

…ecutive with a familiar Eton-Cambridge pedigree, to move to the top of the list. Postcolonial Leadership Lessons? When rumors of the likely appointment of Welby began flickering across news sites in the UK and then the US just two days after Obama’s rout of Romney, I couldn’t help wondering if the Anglican Communion might not have a few things to learn from the demographic configuration of the GOP defeat. The American GOP is, after all, something…

Electionpocalypse, Part II: The Mythical Jewish Vote

By Sarah Posner

…nt for turning a blind eye to the rise of Avigdor Lieberman’s ultra-nationalist, racist Yisrael Beiteinu party. (It’s now slated to merge with Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud, which was horrible enough before such a worrisome marriage.) Beinart is anathema to said American Jewish establishment, and he’s been slandered as anti-Israel. But as Shaul Magid noted in a review here, Beinart’s “critics, it appears, care far less about Israel than they do about…

Catholics Choose Conscience Over Church

By Mary E. Hunt

…enturies.” These talking points resound from diocese to diocese. Is anyone listening? Data from Belden Russonello Strategists (commissioned by the American Civil Liberties Union and Catholics for Choice) indicate that most Americans do not think religious beliefs ought to influence provision of services. On birth control coverage, Catholics weigh in at virtually the same percentage as the nation as a whole against withholding coverage based on rel…

Why Does Abortion Have to Be a Personal Question for Men?

By Sarah Posner

…ic voters don’t really rate abortion and contraception at the top of their list of concerns. As the other Sarah discussed earlier today, Catholic doctrine has a lot to say about issues unrelated to reproductive matters. Biden took a probably little noticed dig at Ryan when he pointed out that the Republican’s economic policy proposals are at odds with Catholic social justice teaching. Raddatz could have asked about how quite a number of Catholic t…
