Why Does Newt Gingrich Hate Freedom?
August 19, 2010My father died two weeks ago. He was a devout Catholic and former Franciscan brother. The last week of his life he was really upset -- not about dying, but about that church in Gainesville that’s planning to burn Korans on 9/11. My dad thought it wasn’t Christian, but an act of Christian supremacy. I said it would be cute if they used German accents.Frank Schaeffer, Jamie Kilstein & Allison Kilkenny, and John Lennon
August 18, 2010What's happening as the manufactured controversy over the "Ground Zero Mosque" continues, Frank Schaeffer notes, is nothing less than a new form of antisemitism--one directed this time at Muslims and people of Arab descent. Schaeffer, a former member of the religious right, notes that if comments like the ones being made at the Muslim community were being made about American Jews, there would be outrage, but Islamophobia is socially acceptable now.The F Word: Remembering Marilyn Clement
August 4, 2009Organizer and activist Marilyn Clement has died at the age of 74 after a battle with cancer. Over five tireless decades, she held positions with just about every key civil rights and peace group from the Southern Christian Leadership conference to the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and the Center for Constitutional Rights. "Let’s hope the Democratic Congress gets the message," she wrote in January 2007. "The voters did indeed vote for a national response to the health care crisis. They desperately need it. The Democrats must get over the chilling effect of the Newt Gingrich attack that left them trembling in their boots."EFCA and the End of Civilization, the Smithfield Story, and Textile Workers in Puerto Rico
