News of “Gay Gene’s” Death Greatly Exaggerated

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…link for homosexuality – gays and lesbians should be treated as a minority class like minority races and granted rights accordingly. Either way – whether it’s chosen or in-born – homosexuality should be a protected class not because of any special rights for a select group – but because that group has been singled out for special discrimination in the past. Being included as a protected class and granted equal rights in all areas of life, like mar…

Soft Supremacy: When “Liking” Love Is Not Enough

By Peter Laarman

…on to Robert Mercer, not Steven Bannon. Get a clue about the white working class rather than consigning all non-elite whites to a “deplorables” basket. Joan Williams’ brilliant short book, White Working Class, would be a good place to start. And here’s why: we will never realize King’s “revolution of values” in this country without overthrowing the rule of wealth—the corporate state—that lies at the heart of all social violence (not to mention apo…

New for Democrats: Non-Personhood for the Non-Rich

By Peter Laarman

…six figures who now imagine themselves to be part of the struggling middle class. Meanwhile, the people who actually are part of the struggling middle class are being plucked like so many chickens, with their unions under assault, their kids in lousy schools, their shot any kind of retirement security being stripped away with the blessing of the Democrats. As I write this, I am hearing White House factotums and leading Democratic shills talking ab…

Is Mitt’s Mormonism Responsible for South Carolina Loss?

By Joanna Brooks

…and beyond. Social theorists often talk about “intersectionality” of race, class, gender, and religion. It would be very revealing, I think, to see data that focuses on the intersection of religion, class, age, and gender. It might even shed some light on the Newt Gingrich “tough guy” dynamic Sarah Posner wrote about here. I’ve often noted that Romney doesn’t code traditional “tough-guy” masculine, which I believe is attributable to Mormon culture…

Note to David Brat: Free Markets Are Not Calvinist

By Kate Blanchard

…hurch, to establish distinctly non-libertarian laws in Geneva about money, business, sex, heresy, church attendance, and all manner of things most self-designated “Calvinists” would today consider private. This is not to say he might not have been a nice guy (by many reports he was a loving husband, father, and friend), but he certainly resists the libertarian label. Also in contrast to modern capitalist dogma, Calvin was very clear that wealthy p…

As Hobby Lobby Heads to SCOTUS, Let’s Ditch Kosher Butcher Analogies

By Sarah Posner

…es Union told me, this is an “inapt analogy” because the kosher butcher’s “business is about religion in a very, very different way.” Hobby Lobby’s business, she said, “is not in any way about religion,” as it offers “a service that goes out to everybody.” As Sarna noted, the analogy is inapt also because the kosher butcher parable, in contrast to the actual Hobby Lobby case, doesn’t involve the employer imposing its religious views on its employe…

When Corporations are “Persons” Under the Law: The Real Problem With Health Care

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…he service, not of persons who were citizens, but rather in the service of businesses that were almost surreally re-defined as “persons,” in the context of this bloody, war-won Amendment. So businesses received the protection of “due process,” and recognition as “persons,” even as freed blacks languished under Jim Crow. The promises of “equal protection” waited until 1954 to be delivered by the US Supreme Court to persons of African descent. To pu…

Hiring of Accused Atheist Leader Is Reminder That #MeToo Is Still Needed in Organized Atheism

By Sikivu Hutchinson

…an, to its executive director position is yet another indication that this business-as-usual rehab strategy also applies to movement atheism, which can be just as corrupt, cronyistic, and swaggeringly hostile to women as corporate America. Last year, Silverman was fired from American Atheists after allegations of sexual misconduct and financial impropriety were made against him. The claims leveled against Silverman by two female accusers were exte…

Alienating Even the Sadistic Trumpian Right, How Did Kristi Noem Miscalculate So Badly With Her Puppy Killing Story?

By Annika Brockschmidt

…tween keeping my family safe, I had little kids at the time, a very public business of inviting people out to come out and enjoy our hunting lodge and our business and I don’t pass my responsibilities off to anybody else, so that story’s in the book because I want people to know I’m honest and that when I have difficult jobs that I take responsibility of myself. A smiling Watters responded: “Alright, so you’re standing by the dog story.” The claim…

Repentance on Wall Street?

By Nathan Schneider

…er in Bhopal, corporate repentance has been even rarer. Apology is bad for business, since a public corporation’s value is based more on the imagined confidence it inspires among stockholders than the contribution of the things it produces. Business and politics alike embrace the public-relations insight that all news is good news. Our culture generally, as Barbara Ehrenreich’s new book Bright-Sided documents, has come to persist in an absurd spel…
