How Do You Beat a ‘Pretty Damning’ Impeachment Case? You Lie

By John Stoehr

…“President Trump will be acquitted.” I’m asking whether the evidence will change their minds. In fact, however, their minds have already changed. The Post’s Aaron Blake has a great item today showing the same Republicans now saying it’s awful hard seeing the connection between Trump’s violent rhetoric and his supporters’ violent actions saw the connection crystal clearly the day of the insurrection. Kevin Cramer, for instance, who now says he doe…

Why Tony Campolo’s LGBTQ Reversal is Evangelicalism’s Tipping Point

By Cathleen Falsani

…ion of homosexuals in the life of the church,” I wrote. “But I’m sensing a change in the wind (and the Spirit.)” Statistics, anecdotal evidence, and prevailing cultural mores testify that the winds have changed, even as Campolo’s statement arrived on the heels of Billy’s son Franklin Graham’s latest facepalm move against LGBTQ civil rights, nevermind ecclesial inclusion. In his statement, Campolo explained how he arrived at this watershed moment:…

Sarah Palin: Obama Wants to Make White People Slaves

By Anthea Butler

…ahPac. To push back on the HBO movie, SarahPac commissioned a video, “Game change we can believe in,” a highlight reel of Palin on the 2008 campaign trail. Of course, the Pac is fundraising on the movie, hoping to get $20.12 for the 2012 race. While Rick Santorum has taken Palin’s 2008 role over as Super Christian out on the campaign trail (with songs being written about him, no less), Palin’s star is on the wane. Since proclaiming she would not r…

New LDS Handbook Cements Anti-Trans Policy—And it Doesn’t Make a Whole Lot of Sense

By Kelli D. Potter

…sels compassion in these cases, but doesn’t explicitly say that they can’t change their gender. That remains implicit in the definition of gender as ‘biological sex at birth.’ In fact, if intersex folk who don’t identify with the gender they were assigned at birth were allowed to change their gender, then why not trans folk, whose brains might very well be intersexed? You can see how the slope gets slippery very quickly: once we grant intersex fol…

2012 Film Heralds Progressive Utopia, No Effort Required

By Jessica Weisberg

…mass destruction, it predicts that in two years, we will abandon our smart phones, SUVs, and prescription drugs in favor of hoes, tandem bicycles, and ayahuasca. At the end of the Mayan calendar, two years from now, the whole world will supposedly start to resemble Burning Man. Psychedelics, Prophecies, and Counterculture 2012: Time for Change calls itself a “documentary,” which is as fine a category as any for this sprawling, free-associative fil…

Reading Beinart and Lerner as Gaza Burns

By Ira Chernus

…he [imagined] danger through aggression and power.” As Beinart argues, the number of American Jews who act out of fantasied oppression is declining. But their political strength remains much greater than their numbers. Yet curiously Lerner, the professional psychologist, downplays this and the other psychological wellsprings of support for militant Zionism. Instead he focuses time and again on compassion for the very real historical sufferings of…

Christian Conservatives Turn Off A Generation Of Voters (Or Maybe Not)

By Daniel Schultz

…w the fold comes the analysis. Some of this is due to non-political social changes, certainly. Geographical mobility, rising incomes and education, and lack of family religious affiliation have all been correlated to decreases in religious participation. But Putnam and Campbell argue that along with those changes, a large segment of the population has been driven away from Christianity by its identification with conservative politics. In a nutshel…

Pope Francis Gets Real

By Patricia Miller

…etitia will be enough to effect even a small halt in the historic decline of the church. It’s a good 25 years to late and more than a dollar short in terms of the change Francis will, or can, make. But at least he has admitted that somehow, things have to change….

Nonviolence, Muslim Style: From Ghaffar Khan to Tahrir Square

By Eric Stoner

…d to convince them to allow that to happen! Did that lead to a large scale change in the way that women were perceived in Pashtun society? No, probably not. Did that perhaps lead to a small, tiny change? Hopefully yes. If we leap forward to what’s happening in Egypt and Tunisia, women have participated in very large numbers. I think it’s been a very positive development and I think they will form the bulwark against a regression on women’s right…

Jeb Bush’s “New Way” Of Talking About Gay Marriage

By Sarah Posner

…oming” than that of the old GOP. But this month Bush appears to have had a change of heart. After receiving plaudits from influential conservatives for his speech on religious freedom at Liberty University’s commencement last week, he took some heat not using the occasion to mention same-sex marriage. At The American Conservative, Rod Dreher warned that Bush “can’t avoid forever the greatest threat to religious freedom in our present moment: the a…
