Romney Goes to Bat Against Reid in Nevada

By Joanna Brooks

…Mormon experience, wagered that Angle would beat Romney if he were on the ticket. I think she’s right. What’s happening in Nevada is the ugly down side of a speculation-and-spending fueled boom cycle, with many voters looking for a politician who will mirror their own feelings of fear and resentment. How ugly is it getting? Check out Sharron Angle’s latest television ads which depict Reid as the ally of scowling, bandana-browed Latino gangstas an…

The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right

By Frederick Clarkson

…sh Limbaugh “joking” that a Honduras-style military coup might be just the ticket for handling President Obama (a notion recently seconded by a Newsmax writer). Limbaugh’s broadcasts, of course, can be heard daily on none other than Armed Forces Radio. Tell us a bit more, if you will, about imprecatory prayer in the military, and in particular, your thoughts about how it has affected anyone’s behavior, if we know. And if we don’t know… how do you…

Burning Man: Religious Event or Sheer Hedonism?

By Lee Gilmore

…event’s multimillion dollar annual budget is funded almost exclusively by ticket sales, and these tickets are not cheap (ranging this year, for example, from $210-$300 depending on time of purchase). This pays for the basic infrastructure as well as expenses like a hefty per-person/per-day use fee charged by the Bureau of Land Management. In addition, a significant portion of each year’s budget is set aside to fund many of the large-scale art ins…

The Bible is a Good Book, But God Didn’t Write It

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…to be sure they remain poor. I don’t know why they think that’s a winning ticket. The economy is so bad that I think Obama had a really slim chance to be elected, but I think the opposition has given him a good chance of being elected because it is so bizarre. Rick Perry who can’t remember anything, or Herman Cain—he was a comedy. Newt Gingrich? I’m too old, I remember too much about Newt Gingrich. Romney’s got the ability and I don’t think he’s…

The Sacred and the Dead: It’s (Not) Just a Box of Rain

By Cathleen Falsani

…elonging. Home. If only for a few hours, days, until the tour ended or the ticket dough ran out. For many Deadheads, the sonic pilgrimage began when someone placed the needle at the beginning of song 1, side 1 of the Dead’s seminal 1970 album American Beauty. I can’t hear the album’s first track—”Box of Rain”—without thinking about Lindsay Weir in what (sadly) became the final episode of Judd Apatow and Paul Feig’s brilliant, too-soon-gone televis…

Leave It to Trump to Split a Catholic-Evangelical Bloc That’s Generations Old

By Neil J. Young

…ector of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, called the Trump-Pence ticket the “most anti-Catholic GOP presidential ticket in modern history” because of not only Trump’s many shortcomings but also Pence’s record of blocking the Catholic Church’s efforts to resettle Syrian refugees in Indiana. Trump’s poor standing with Catholic voters resembles his “Mormon problem,” as I have written about. Taken together, the Catholic and Mormon rejection…

We Can Finally Put the Lie to Trumpism: 5 Myths Debunked By a Biden Victory

By John Stoehr

…rs chose her over her opponent, but also voted against Trump. That’s split-ticket voting, which was thought to be extinct. It isn’t. And here we are. (Control of the Senate, by the way, is still up in the air. There are going to be two run-off senate elections in Georgia. The outcome will determine Mitch McConnell’s fate.) 2. Realignment This is the idea that the coalitions constituting each party are changing. That much is true, but contrary to t…

Nikki Haley’s Slavery Omission Typifies the GOP’s Tragic Pact with White Supremacy

By Annika Brockschmidt

…ch-segregationist George Wallace running on the American Independent Party ticket would sweep those up, but he did narrowly win the general election—thanks to Strom Thurmond, the segregationist senator of South Carolina, a former Democrat who had become a Republican in 1964. Thurmond helped him win the Republican nomination and the presidency by vouching for the Nixon/Agnew ticket to other former Southern Democrats. It was Reagan, who later cement…

Why I Wrote the Freedom Seder And Why It’s Still Necessary 50 Years After Dr. King’s Assassination

By Arthur Waskow

…was this Passover different from any other Passover? I was 34 years old, living in Washington DC and working for peace and racial justice. I had grown up in a Jewish neighborhood in Baltimore with a strong sense that community, neighborhood itself, was warmly Jewish; that freedom and justice were profoundly, hotly “Jewish and beyond”—and that Jewish religion was boring boiler-plate. Except for celebrating the Passover Seder, which brought family,…

A Muslim Reflects on Christian Theologian (and UCLA Coach) John Wooden

By Amir Hussain

…erences and cared for everyone. There are many dichotomies we are fond of dividing America into: black and white, rich and poor, native and immigrant, gay and straight, urban and rural, and however else you draw your lines. Coach Wooden transcended many of those simple dichotomies, offering wisdom accessible to almost anyone. He was born in Hall, Indiana, four years before the Great War, later moving to the “big” town of Martinsville, population 4…
