Christian lawmaker tells mother her daughter is a fool
I wish I wasn't writing this column, but alas, theocracy and Christian nationalism never sleeps. In the state of North Carolina there is a bill, with considerable Republican support, to enact a state church. The idea behind this bill is that the First Amendment's,... TN rep. believes gays are "the biggest bullies" in the world
President Obama just attended the National Prayer Breakfast. It is a breakfast, with prayer, attended by members of Congress and the president, since the 1950s. I was thinking how awesome it would be for President Obama to attend a convention of the American Humanist... Atheist cop discriminated against and atheist denied free speech
When people think of the bible belt they don't normally think of Puerto Rico. Well, they probably should. Puerto Rico isn't dominated by Southern Baptist fundamentalists like South Carolina, but it is a very devout region. Puerto Rico is one of the few strong Catholic...

Up a crunchy gravel road not far from the Kentucky line, buried in a hillside a few steps from a huge limestone cave network, an audacious experiment is about to take place. The first-ever artificial cave for hibernating bats, built specifically to protect the animals from... Public school football coach abuses his authority to win converts
If you have students in the local public school, do you want him or her taken to a local mosque to listen to the Quran by the government? I am guessing probably not. You would probably be mad if some coach, because of his/her Islmaic religious beliefs, thought it was O.K. to... New Swine Flu Virus Shows Lethal Signs
An influenza virus isolated from Korean pigs is deadly and transmissible by air in ferrets, which are used as stand-ins for humans when studying the disease. This particular virus is likely not a grave threat to humans, said study researcher Richard Webby, a virologist... Anti-gay advocates believe being gay is worse than terrorism?
"I think it’s that: It’s a travesty that people have forced someone who is gay to have to make their case that they deserve the same basic rights as someone else. I'll tell you this: Religion is far more of a choice than homosexuality. And the protections that we have... Republican senator calling for Muslims to be kicked out of army
If there is one thing you can count on, it is that Christian fundamentalists (which make up a sizable percentage of the Republican party) hate Muslims. Maybe more so than they hate atheists or gays or immigrants or Wiccans or feminists or union leaders. Now, I'm no great... America isn't a theocracy, and more bigotry against gays
At a 2006 hearing on a proposed Maryland ban to prohibit gay marriage, Jamie Raskin, professor of law at American University testified against such a ban. At the end of his testimony, Republican State Senator Nancy Jacobs said: "Mr. Raskin, my Bible says marriage is only... How civil asset forfeiture allows police to take your money
Civil asset forfeiture is where the government can take your property, even if they never convicted you of an offense. It's a blatant violation of due process. But, we as Americans allow government to get away with it. Why? Well, part of the problem are the anti-drug zealots.... Tenneessee to have teachers teach about creationism in schools?
In the state of Tennessee, a large portion of the population does not believe in evolution. Unfortunate, but true. Tennessee isn't maybe the buckle of the so called Bible Belt, but it isn't too far away from that. The governor of that state is about to sign legislation that... Horrible incidents of police and TSA violence and abuse
The police have arrested and intruded upon media freedom in America. It happens quite often, and ironically, it is mostly ignored by the media at large. In a case in Philadelphia at an anti-military recruiting protest in 2008, a reporter was singled out for arrest, after the... Cracker Barrel Founder dies
Canned and country fried is how I remember the experience. Sure, I used to stop in. I didn’t fall for all the country crapola, but I liked the fire in the fireplace. The service is fast and friendly. The food is...
