By Ira Chernus

…io interview with Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council. No, I don’t listen to Tony Perkins. I found the quote thanks to Think Progress blogger Scott Keyes, who offered what he calls this “outlandish statement” as an example of conservatives’ tendency “to dress their political ideology in religious language.” Maybe so. Politicians typically say what their audiences want to hear and this kind of God-talk would certainly please Tony Perkins’ a…

Santa Executed by Repent Amarillo

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…quad. In a video by the outfit (who, by the way, “abhor violence”) Santa’s list of “heinous crimes against the Lord our God” are read out before the execution. Among them “idolatry” for replacing himself with Jesus Christ, and for being a “stumbling block to parents who lie to their children that you exist to bring them gifts.” Then, before the violence begins, Santa is told: “We would plead that the Lord have mercy on your soul, but you have no s…

By Annika Brockschmidt

…t via their own offspring?” Vance and Masters have both not been shy about promoting their openly anti-democratic aspirations. Both have ties to right-wing extremist blogger Curtis Yarvin, a raging monarchist. Vance supports the governing model of Caesarism, which has risen to prominence on the American Right in recent years, claiming: “We are in a late republican period. If we’re going to push back against it, we’re going to have to get pretty wi…

Here’s an exchange between Salman Hameed, Diane Winston and Henry Jenkins, on episode two. Salman Hameed______________________ Fellow Capricologists, Episode two was bit of a let-down for me.

Terror is as Terror Does

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…th WMDs, genocidal tyrants, and “freedom on the march” all crossed off the list of explaining what we are still doing in Iraq, we have only one arrow in the quiver, one card left to play. Terrorism. “Iraq is now the front in our global war on terror.” It was not so when we invaded the country in January 2003, but it is now. This war is the only war: the global war on terror.

However Dull or Ham-Fisted, TV is not Oppressing Mormons — In Fact, We Have a Duty to Scrutinize Religious Institutions That Endanger Vulnerable People

By Megan Goodwin

…the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and that Mormon fundamentalists absolutely are oppressed on the basis of religion and the religiosexual practice of polygyny.

And this is where I take issue with shows like Under the Banner of Heaven and Keep Sweet: not wit…

The report, of course, is just spin, a carefully crafted campaign outside a campaign to try to tell voters the sky is green and the grass is blue, or that the Republican Party is different from the one on display duri…
