Martin Luther King in the Era of Occupy

…134,280 in 2004 to $97,860 in 2009, a 24% decline. By contrast, the median net worth of black households declined 83%, from $13,450 in 2004 to $2,170 in 2009. The black unemployment rate, meanwhile, has risen from 14.7 % to 16.2%, and the overall percentage of black men working is at its lowest level since 1972, just over 56% (compared to a figure of over 68% for white men, itself a figure much lower than in previous years). The prophetic traditio…

Inevitable Megachurch Abuse of PPP Funds is Coming to Light — Private Jet Included

…ion, with more than $25 million going to the television ministry. Osteen’s net worth is hard to pin down, but it’s probably around $50 million or $60 million. This isn’t a church that’s hard up for cash. And with sensible Americans worshipping at home, its massive televangelism empire probably only grew. Osteen took nearly millions of dollars meant for small businesses. Osteen’s church claimed that it used $4.4 million in taxpayer funds “to provid…

The Real Context Of The “Taliban Dan” Ad

…Reconstructionist Gary DeMar’s work in “Optional Resources.”  Over at AlterNet, Bruce Wilson writes that Gothard wanted to use Christian Reconstructionist R.J. Rushdoony’s seminal Institutes of Biblical Law for his programs if it weren’t for their disagreement over divorce. In his post, Wilson focuses too much on the issue of the capital offenses for which some Reconstructionists advocate stoning. That emphasis favors sensationalism over more pres…

GOP Hopeful Herman Cain: Jesus was “The Perfect Conservative”

…ntinued to step those up. Last month he wrote a Christmas column for World Net Daily titled “An Example for America: The Perfect Conservative” in which he turned the carpenter from Nazareth into Ronald Reagan: He helped the poor without one government program. He healed the sick without a government health-care system. He fed the hungry without food stamps. And everywhere He went, it turned into a rally, attracting large crowds and giving people h…

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

…of the deal they are about to vote through: the complete exemption of high-net-worth individuals from any kind of sacrifice, now or in the future, while the sick, the poor, the elderly, and school kids will pay the whole tab for America’s return to fiscal discipline. I am someone who has resisted the Roger Hodge “mendacity of hope” line on Obama, thinking it too harsh. Until now, that is. My stomach churns to think how this president and the leadi…

Undercover-ed Religion: 13 Stories That Went Missing in 2012

…a lengthy hash that made no reference to tax fairness, cuts to the safety net, and corruption in the financial sector. The statement did, however, refer repeatedly to the Church’s opposition to gay marriage and abortion and its support for school vouchers. The statement, called “The Hope of the Gospel in Difficult Times,” thereupon failed to muster the required 2/3 vote for adoption. Older social justice bishops carped openly about the document’s…

Why Tea Party (Hearts) David Barton

…ngersoll also wrote a post Wednesday on Barton’s biblical argument against net neutrality. Barton kicked off his new role as emerging tea party darling in 2009 with the Texas textbook controversy. As one of the appointed experts to review Texas’ social studies curriculum, he recommended that the Board of Education remove from textbooks César Chavez (labor organizer and civil rights leader) and Thurgood Marshall (the nation’s first black US Supreme…

David Barton: Creationist Founding Fathers Settled Debate Over Evolution

…hat Jesus opposed the minimum wage or that the bible takes a stand against net neutrality. One of Barton’s chief tricks is to conflate two concepts and treat them as the same thing. In this case, he references the 1968 Supreme Court decision of Epperson v Arkansas in which the court ruled that laws prohibiting the teaching of evolution were based on religious objections and therefore violated the First Amendment. On his WallBuilder website, he say…

Does War Make Sense? Science and Religion on the Battlefield

…ing machine went unfulfilled. Out with the centralized structure of a cybernetic force; networks could facilitate self-organizing “swarms,” units that would adapt to their environments while remaining in constant contact with their comrades. By the time Donald Rumsfeld took the helm at the Department of Defense, the words “network centric” were on every ambitious young officer’s lips. Bousquet names this fourth and final paradigm with the neologis…

How Long Before Trump Claims ‘Religious Freedom’ to Avoid Paying Taxes?

…’s 1995 tax returns indicated that the billionaire reported a $916 billion net loss that year, which, experts estimate, means he could have essentially avoided paying taxes for 18 years. Trump managed to pull off that financial sleight of hand without any kind of religious exemption. So it’s only reasonable to expect that, with Pence whispering sweet “religious liberty” nothings into the president-elect’s ear, Trump will continue to take advantage…
