By Sarah Posner

…imaries in Nevada, Kentucky, Utah, Colorado, as well as the non-primary in Florida (where Marco Rubio chased Gov. Charlie Crist out of the primary—and out of the Republican Party). All of the candidates supported by GOA-PVF were opposed by the Republican establishment in their respective primaries.

By Peter Laarman

…about forever, of a very large share of the Black people living here, now numbering 42 million. As Malcolm X pointed out decades ago, it’s impossible to regard the United States as a nation of laws when those laws are very often suspended in the case of Black people. Malcolm believed, correctly, that a nation choosing to be only conditionally lawful cannot really be regarded as lawful at all—and should certainly stop its boasting about equal just…

Will the Pandemic Hasten the Decline of Christianity or is it ‘America’s Best Hope for a Religious Revival’?

By Chrissy Stroop

…and privilege despite declining demographics. Further loss of prestige and numbers will not automatically translate into the loss of power for a group that’s doing everything it can to maintain minority authoritarian rule.

By Joanna Brooks

…a deeply red state, but Huntsman campaign headquarters will be in Orlando, Florida. 2. Moreover, he will not allow his Mormonism to define him.

…e speech was given to Catholic students at Ave Maria University in Naples, Florida, which was founded by Tom Monaghan, the founder of Domino’s pizza.

By Hussein Rashid

…al media and in news reports.” So, did this fringe Christianist group, the Florida Family Association, really manage to dominate the media narrative through politically correct surrogates who would not acknowledge FFA’s sinister anti-First Amendment agenda? Amazingly not. It seems that the greatest critics of the show have been other Muslims. I think there are valid critiques one can make of the show. Su’ad Abdul Khabeer made some wonderful observ…

…own hall meeting. November 9, 2010—U.S. Representative-Elect Allen West of Florida’s 22nd Congressional District hires conservative radio talk show host Joyce Kaufman as his Chief of Staff. On July 3, Kaufman told a crowd of Tea Party supporters, “I am convinced that the most important thing the Founding Fathers did to ensure me my First Amendments rights was they gave me a Second Amendment.

All Of A Sudden, There’s Nazis Everywhere… And They Only Seem to Associate with One Party

By Daniel Schultz

…ror erupted over this behavior, Nehlen responded by posting the names, telephone numbers, and email addresses of some of his critics. Nehlen’s so reviled that even Steve Bannon’s Breitbart has disavowed him, though no less accomplished a racist than Donald Trump himself praised Nehlen during the primary. Nehlen won’t come anywhere near unseating Ryan, of course, but that doesn’t mean the WisGOP—which appears not to have made any recent statements…

…0 meters tall, it will be the largest statue of the Nazarene in the world. Florida’s Qur’an (not) burning pastor wants a New Jersey car dealer to make good on his promise to give him a Hyundai if he didn’t burn the books. A deal is a deal, I guess. The Justice Department has lent its support to the controversial mosque being built in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Meanwhile, the county’s hearing over the mosque’s construction is becoming a poor man’s Sc…

Obama Criticizes Black Fatherhood

By Jonathan L. Walton

…types. Instead, Father’s Day became the Senator’s opportunity to throw African American fathers under the campaign bus of irresponsibility in order to appeal to a particular voting bloc. To recall the response of Florida Evans when confronted with the death of her beloved husband and committed father, James Evans, on the classic African American sitcom Good Times, all I can say to this is, “Damn, Damn, Damn!”…
