All that’s been missing for the last seven years was a tree and a rope. The Republicans have all but openly lynched President Obama. Now with the Scalia death and nomination fight they are–once again–disrespecting our first black president in an unprecedented way. “Obstruction” hardly covers it when it comes to what the GOP did to President Obama from Day One, from government shutdowns to lying. Now we come to the Scalia death and succession fight the Republicans are once again reaching... Read more

Here’s Colbert at his best in the best and funniest clip I’ve ever seen on exposing the insane American fear of art, nudity and sex. Watch! The clip reminds me of something that happened to me that I write about in my memoir Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of It Back : When How Should We Then Live? was complete... Read more

This is what the beginning of a theocracy looks like. If these guys have their way we’ll be living in Saudiamerica.    Frank Schaeffer is a writer. His... Read more

Meet David Barton, the theocratic guru to the far far right running the umbrella PAC of the Cruz family of super PACs. David Barton is a hero to many grassroots evangelicals, but is considered a fraud – the Howard Zinn of the Christian right – by evangelical historians and scholars. Jon Ward has written a VERY important expose of the Cruz-Barton plan for America…  This article was first published by Yahoo News and is republished here with the written permission of the author.... Read more
