Taking the Economy Back From the Elites: Blessed Are the Organized

…s I was hearing and remain grounded in stories throughout. In the winter of 2007, I led another seminar for IAF organizers and leaders, this one in Houston, and again went out into various communities to see what contemporary grassroots democracy looks like on the ground. The most important stops on that trip were in New Orleans, 16 months after Katrina, and in the Rio Grande Valley, where I accompanied a team of experienced organizers on a tour o…

The Right Wing Bible and the Politics of Impotence

…the recent economic crises from many quarters has been to slash the safety net that keeps such inequalities from being even worse.      Any American could worry about these problems, but being the parent of two preschool-age children brings the questions home in a special way: How is America really doing? And specifically, how are we doing at raising generations who see problems clearly and have the guts to take a stand? Kids are growing up in sch…

…s than most this year. He’s a player of flair, lithe and lethal around the net. Born in Africa, he took advantage of his athletic skill to move to wealthy Europe at age 14, where the best footballers are treated like gods and paid even better. He’s the highest paid player in Italian club football, but but when he was traded from Real Madrid to Barcelona he told the press corps, “I mean to run like a black man so I can live like a white one.” This…

WaPo OpEd: Pope Francis and the Koch Bros Love and Serve the Poor Together

…gram that took up the slack; enrollment soared from just over 25 million in 2006 to nearly 50 million in 2014. The real problem, according to the Saemans, isn’t that the benefits of the economy are increasingly flowing upward to the likes of the Koch brothers. Its that government centralization, which “conflates big government with the common good,” leads to corrupt crony capitalism in which “politicians and bureaucrats hold the keys to the kingdo…

That Not-So-Mystifying Rick Warren

…ping the poor: The Church has helped the poor far more than any govt, & for 2000 yrs longer! In 2011 our 1 church fed 70,000 unemployed. — Rick Warren (@RickWarren) April 9, 2012 Let me borrow a phrase from Mark Silk’s terrific takedown of Ross Douthat’s Bad Religion excerpt yesterday: “a tissue of non- and half-truth, of historical misconception and ideological prejudice.” Drum asks what Bible Warren is reading from. That’s a good question, but a…

Paul Ryan Is Like Jesus, But It’s Not What You Think

…available to everybody and becomes popular. We should always have a safety net. Health care should always be accessible, basic health care always. But it should be available as a safety net, not as a general lifestyle that almost discourages people from seeking real human flourishing. The budget deal won’t make these arguments go away. Paul Ryan Jesus-ing the deal through Congress won’t end discussion of his claims that his views are in line with…

‘New Evangelical’-Progressive Alliance? Not So Fast

…cated than its evangelists often portray. Pally’s essay is an update of her 2011 book and essay on the same subject, both of which appeared during the 2012 presidential campaign. In this latest essay she takes stock of evangelical voting trends in the election—79% of white evangelicals voted for Mitt Romney—and seeks to persuade us, in spite of this rather homogeneous voting pattern, that they are not as monolithic as we might think.  It’s true, o…

After Roe: 3 Troubling Trends from the ‘Compassionate’ Anti-Abortion Crowd

…ng implemented within our lifetimes. For example, in a commentary from late 2021 anticipating the fall of Roe, Erika Bachiochi, a fellow at the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center, suggested that somehow, some way, the pro-life movement can compel the Republican Party to bolster the social safety net. Since then, unfortunately, Rick Scott, head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, has put forward a Congressional agenda hellben…

Lying in the Name of the War Lord: Jane Roe’s Fake ‘Conversion’ is a Feature Not a Bug of the Extreme Christian Right

…Lane looks to Rahab as a role model for righteous revolutionaries. In June 2013 Lane published an essay titled, “Wage War to Restore a Christian Nation.” It was so controversial that the far right news site that published it, World Net Daily quickly took it down (though it appears to have been quietly reposted at some point). In it, Lane expressed doubts about the ability of the Christian Right to establish theocratic governance via the tools of…

Worried About Inequality After the Pandemic? Start By Listening to the Women Ringing the Alarm for Decades

…ney to individuals for the development of a strong universal social safety net. The attacks on welfare over the past six decades, under both Democratic and Republican administrations, have identified welfare recipients as the problem in need of fixing, obscuring systems that produce their poverty. Couched in religious language, these narratives have used racism and sexism to demonize, isolate, and divide the poor—hiding the fact that the condition…
