Derek Beres | Posted March 31, 2008 | Politics

I find it interesting that between two polarities being expressed regarding the role of religion in mainstream politics -- the recent over-saturation of Barack Obama's affiliations/non-affiliations with Jeremiah Wright, and the elucidating essay by Sam Harris on this site -- there has not been any discussion of religious symbols...

Is Wright Right About Racism?

David Sirota | Posted March 28, 2008 | Politics

Read More: Jeremiah Wright

Is Jeremiah Wright right about racism? There, I asked the question - a question that should be at the center of the "controversy" surrounding Barack Obama's former pastor, but which has been completely ignored. Somewhere deep down, I am guessing Wright feels some shred of vindication, because the entire "controversy"...

Shaun Jacob Halper | Posted March 28, 2008 | Media

"We can't afford to be distracted," Obama bellowed in frustration recently to a standing ovation. "Every time somebody somewhere says something stupid -- that everybody gets up in arms -- and we forget about the war in Iraq and we forget about the economy."

Reverend Wright: Raw and Un-Cut

Steven Weber | Posted March 27, 2008 | Politics

Has anybody actually taken the time to watch Rev. Wright's much maligned sermon in its entirety? The one that the MSM's diced and sliced and handed out like amphetamine-laced communion to its maddeningly impressionable flock? It's there, right on that cyber-commons otherwise known as YouTube.

Yeah, there's all manner...

Wall Street Journal | JACKIE CALMES | March 26, 2008 09:33 PM

Read More: Barack Obama, Jeremiah Wright, NBC Poll

The racially charged debate over Barack Obama's relationship with his longtime pastor hasn't much changed his close contest against Hillary Clinton, or hurt him against Republican nominee-in-waiting John McCain, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. Democratic pollster...

A Defense Of Jeremiah Wright

The Daily Dish | Andrew Sullivan | March 26, 2008 06:42 PM

Read More: Andrew Sullivan, Barack Obama, Jeremiah Wright, Martin Marty, The Daily Dish

This is simply must-reading for any fair-minded person interested in the full Jeremiah Wright story. There are very, very few people in American religious life as respected as Martin Marty, few scholars as learned, few Christians as sincere. He has...

Stop Looking at Obama's Religious Ties and Start Looking at Bush, Clinton and McCain's

Reed Wacker | Posted March 26, 2008 | Off The Bus

Read More: 2008 Election, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, Jeremiah Wright, Jerry Falwell, John Hagee, John McCain, Offthebus, The Fellowship

Why did Obama have to make a speech explaining his relationship with Reverend Jeremiah Wright? None of the other candidates had to. Each one has a dicey relationship with religion.

George W. Bush never made a speech explaining or denouncing Jerry Falwell's comments in 2001 blaming "the pagans, and...

I've had it with the Clintons.

War of the Word

Robert Scheer | Posted March 26, 2008 | Politics

Would God ever damn America? Is there anything we have done or could do as a nation that might court such severe judgment from an almighty, or is there a peculiar American exemption from God's wrath? The prediction of God's damnation for bad behavior is made in both black and...

Obama is Nietzschean

Ali Eteraz | Posted March 26, 2008 | Politics

For many years, the United States has been suffering from political nihilism -- disbelief in its institutions.

I have seen political nihilism in various countries around the world. It manifests itself as a form of futility, the feeling that one cannot recover from what is ailing the people.
