Speaking with Palestinian-American Republican Who Confronted GOP at Debate

…is homogenous, and fully representative of Palestinian views. But Hassan identified himself as a Palestinian American—and incidentally, he’s also a Christian. Gingrich proceeded back to that thing he calls history, telling the audience that “prior to the 1970s” Palestinians were actually Arabs, which is an amusing bit of diversionary hogwash, since a political Palestinian identity has been dated well back to the 19th century, and anyway Palestini…

A Nobel Prize for LGBT Civil Rights?

…ones of hidebound traditionalism, regardless of the consequences to human beings? Or are they compassion and honesty, even if our integrity and lovingkindness demands a fresh reengagement with opinions of which we once were certain? For better or for worse, this is the litmus test of how human we dare to be. For these three reasons, and on this anniversary day. I want to put forward an immodest proposal that some LGBT activists have been speaking…

In SOTU Speech, Obama’s Inner Pugilist Emerges

…irresponsible this is. There wasn’t much fake religion, which is always welcome. This president doesn’t like to pander in that way, I gather. But there was the odiferous religion of nationalism. There was a distinct pong of American exceptionalism (“ours is a moral power,” “indispensable nation”), there was the blooded scent of saber-rattling (Iran), and there was the crisp masculine tang of “America will always win” on a level (trade) playing fie…

God, Rid Me of God

…bout how they condemn LGBT people out of “love” for them, but one surefire test of true love is that it leads to life—not death. It is these religious undertones—and outright blatant anti-LGBT preaching—that makes children choose to end their own lives no matter how many role models and videos they have telling them it gets better. It’s hell for them right now, and that’s all that matters to them. The problem lies not with the child, but with the…

Easter: The Underdog Holiday

…ng one year of cancer treatment and an additional year as a cancer vaccine test subject. I didn’t actually understand what it meant to physically suffer before this point in my life, and, while I do not know what it feels like to be hung from a cross, I do understand physical distress which is so great it feels like one has been abandoned not only by everyone and everything you hold dear, but by life itself. By God.  Which brings me to the greates…

Please Reverend, Do Something About the Fat People

…ned” about obesity were not an obvious element of a trendy moral panic wherein fat has come to be seen as emblematic of poverty, illness, poor impulse control, failed femininity/masculinity, and overall yuckiness. Indeed, being “concerned” about fat can function as an awfully handy screen for recipients of privilege to unleash their prejudices about the poor (“Do you know how those people EAT!?”), people of color (“They like their women to be ‘thi…

Science of Little Help with Personhood Issues

…onstrate the existence of a “designer,” define personhood—the more we fall under its sway, the less we understand what it can and cannot do, and the less willing we are to let our (non-scientific) moral and religious traditions speak. I am not one to insist that morality requires religious belief, but I have a hard time seeing how any morally serious worldview can persist without some kind of appeal to ultimate things. And so long as science remai…

Joe Lieberman: Romney Surrogate?

…y and the clear prohibition in the Constitution, Article 6, of a religious test being applied for public office.” Lieberman continued, quoting Kennedy, “If this election will be decided on the basis that 40 million Americans who happen to be Catholic lost their chance of being president on the day they were baptized then it is the whole nation that will be the loser, in the eyes of Catholics and non-Catholics around the world, in the eyes of histo…

The Ghost Is More Important Than The Machine: Norman Corwin (1910-2011)

…it does a rousing rendition of the Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger ditty “Round and Round Hitler’s Grave.” Yet “On a Note of Triumph” was also, in its own idiosyncratic way, deeply religious, making use of the rhythms of liturgy and a self-consciously biblical tone, which was made all the more surprising by the fact that Corwin was hardly a religious man. A Boston-born Jew of Hungarian and Russian descent, he had spent Friday evenings in his youth…
