“Freedom” vs. “Liberty”: Why Religious Conservatives Have Begun to Favor One Over the Other

By Stephanie Russell-Kraft

…enichel Pitkin, in her 1988 essay “Are Freedom and Liberty Twins?”, wrote that freedom “is more likely to be holistic, to mean a total condition or state of being,” whereas liberty “is more likely to be plural and piecemeal.” Another way of putting it: freedom is the capacity to do things in the world, while liberty is the absence of external institutional constraints. In the era of the American Revolution, liberty reigned supreme. For the founder…

Religious Right Historian: Net Neutrality is “Unbiblical Socialism”

By Julie Ingersoll

…taxes no fees—let the private sector operate.” They certainly do not mean free in a way that includes broadly available access (because that’s socialism). RG: If I want to pay less I get less space. DB: (mockingly) But that’s not FAIR, What about the guys who don’t make as much? RG: So in other words I should not only pay for mine but I should pay for somebody else’s too. DB: It’s redistribution of wealth through the internet; It really is redist…

What Irish Marriage Vote Means for Catholic Church; The Lonely Fight for Equality in Belize; Progress and Backlash in Tunisia; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…an communion of two people in love. I believe that we can honestly assert that what we have learned first and foremost is that it is the oppression and repression of human sexual fulfillment that are the primary cause of sickness in our human communities, both straight and gay. In contrast, Christopher J. Hale wrote for TIME Magazine that the vote was not a “no” to Catholicism: The vote in Ireland illuminates a dynamic shift on LGBT issues among C…

The Quietly Crumbling Wall of Separation

By Robert Marus

…s essentially ignored Establishment Clause questions in favor of a scheme that requires only that the government display “viewpoint neutrality” when providing services or forums of which religious groups might avail themselves. In 1995, the high court handed down Rosenberger v. Rectors and Visitors of the University of Virginia, in which a Christian student group at the school successfully sued for the right to use funds from a compulsory student-…

To Serve God and Wal-Mart: The Making of Christian Free Enterprise

By Diane Winston

…g chains in Costa Rica and Guatemala that had employed Walton graduates.” What amazes me is that even as we dreamed of a progressive, cosmopolitan, egalitarian, and cooperative counterculture, the Waltons of the world created one that now spans the globe. Equally striking is that their world looks to them the same way we would see ours: grassroots, anti-establishment, humane, and compassionate. Moreton’s scholarship and accessible style make this…

Netflix Removing Antigay Film Isn’t “Free Speech,” it’s Free Market

By Sunnivie Brydum

…at’s not censorship—that’s the vaunted free market economy at work. Isn’t that what so many conservatives are always preaching about? The backlash to the film wasn’t unexpected—or at least, it shouldn’t have been. When Pink hit Mexican theaters in March 2016, it was broadly panned, and local activists launched a Change.org petition asking the country’s human rights commission to investigate whether the film was homophobic. Calls to boycott the the…

Pamela Geller in Brooklyn: Free Speech, Hate Speech, and the Futility of Arguing with a Bigot

By Haroon Moghul

…what Mona Eltahawy did: deface what is on any measure hate speech. Isn’t that free speech, too? Isn’t that what this is all about? And can we not elevate the conversation? Geller compares the room, which has something of a free-for-all quality, to a Nazi rally. Really. Security is confused, because while the event has ceased to be the lecture it never got a chance to be, no clear red lines have been crossed. Or the College just doesn’t like Gelle…

Republican Scandals Drag Secretive ‘Family’ Into the Big Time

By Randall Balmer, Anthea Butler, Evan Derkacz, Jeff Sharlet, and Diane Winston

…liberals with little patience for dictators.” The logic here seems to be that Hatfield and Hughes could not possibly have been involved with dictators because they were liberals; and they were liberals because they could not possibly have been involved with dictators. So much for the evidence that they were both liberal and supportive of dictators (as noted above, Hatfield lobbied for a special prayer breakfast in America for the Indonesian dicta…

Huckabee Calls For Civil Disobedience, Utterly Misreads MLK, Jr.

By Peter Gathje

…as, Dr. King urges, has several criteria: First, “a just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law.” Of course what is specifically disputed within Christian circles is whether or not same sex marriage is moral, whether or not it “squares with the moral law of God.” Huckabee certainly doesn’t speak for all Christians. A number of churches both ordain lesbians an…
