I keep wanting to give a thorough response to every bit of ignorance, revisionism, corruption, self-contradiction, condescension, unfounded persecution complex, hypocrisy, and philosophical crudity in this video, coming not only from Sarah Palin but also from Bill O’Reilly, but each line from both of them is so packed with them, that I keep getting overwhelmed [...]

The Value Of Religious Moderates And The Danger Of Isolating Religious And Political Fundamentalists
September 18th, 2009 Daniel Fincke Recently Karen Armstrong is coming out with a book arguing for an extremely apophatic conception of God that rejects all manner of biblical literalism but still insists on some important reference to God and is critical of the New Atheists. Recently she and Richard Dawkins both responded to a Wall Street Journal solicitation for their [...]

September 11th, 2009 Daniel Fincke As I’ve mentioned before: As far as I go, no singer/songwriter better explores the theme of religion or better employs religious imagery than Nick Cave. Very few people write either religious music or music about religion that avoids either preaching on its behalf or railing against it. Nick Cave is liberated from any creedal loyalty [...]

Schwartz
July 18th, 2009 Daniel Fincke If you read one bit of off the Richter insane bit of hagiography mixed with 21st Century-style right wing populism, persecution complex, theocratic fantasies and claim to power prophetic powers all year, make it this article from Liberty University’s Stuart Schwartz. Sarah Palin loves God. God loves Sarah Palin. And that is why they hate [...]
American Conservatism Right Now–Less A Movement Than An Industry
July 13th, 2009 Daniel Fincke In the context of trying to make sense of the Palin phenomenon and her recent resignation, Andrew Sullivan perfectly sums up the problem with the current state of America’s right wing establishment: And this helps explain the broader problem with American conservatism right now. It is less a movement than an industry. From Fox News [...]
Thoughts on Style, Dignity, and Virtuous Self-Formation
July 11th, 2009 Daniel Fincke David Brooks’s recent NY Times article is rather eloquent on our first president’s attempts to shape his inner man through adherence to a rigid code for outward behavior. I personally in general inclined to interpret moralities most fundamentally as codes of discipline, whether they be culturally enforced or personally adopted as a deliberate tool for [...]
Palin Hung Out To Dry By McCain Campaign Last Year
July 11th, 2009 Daniel Fincke Easily the ugliest and most irresponsible moment of the 2008 Presidential Campaigns came when Sarah Palin accused Obama of bieng someone who: sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country. This is not a man who sees America as you see [...]
Does Palin Represent “Real America?”
July 6th, 2009 Daniel Fincke David Weigel is baffled that such a meme persists: Scarborough’s quasi-co-host Mika Brzezinski followed this up by saying Palin represented “real Americans,” and that some people in “urban America” didn’t get it. This is fascinating. In 2004, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) lost the presidency with 48.3 percent of the vote, [...]

July 6th, 2009 Daniel Fincke This is an alluringly and gorgeously produced but positively goofy propaganda video which sides with both Clinton and Palin against Obama (with all the usual baseless smears against him thrown in for good measure).
Mark Steyn Comes Impassioned To Palin’s Defense
July 4th, 2009 Daniel Fincke Steyn empathizes with Palin: suddenly you get the call from Washington. You know it’ll mean Secret Service, and speechwriters, and minders vetting your wardrobe. But nobody said it would mean a mainstream network comedy host doing statutory rape gags about your 14-year old daughter. You’ve got a special-needs kid and a son in Iraq and [...]

July 4th, 2009 Daniel Fincke Biden told Stephanopolous that when people reject higher office his own guess is often that it was primarily motivated by: what the state of their life was and the state of their family. And he also said Those who’ve been deeply involved in politics know at the end of the day that it is really [...]
Sarah Palin: A Daily Show Retrospective
July 4th, 2009 Daniel Fincke In honor of the surprising news of Sarah Palin’s resignation, here are my nine favorite classic Daily Show segments on her (in chronological order): September 3, 2008: Sarah Palin Gender Card September 4, 2008: Sarah Palin-Vet This!

July 4th, 2009 Daniel Fincke David Kurtz notes that the meme of Palin as a fighter hasn’t changed even as she’s resigned office.
Palin Resigns Governorship!!
July 3rd, 2009 Daniel Fincke Story here: In a stunnign announcement, Gov. Sarah Palin said Friday morning she will resign her office in a few weeks. It is baffling if she wants to run for president that she would think that not even finishing her term as a governor is going to help her. Especially when even conservative opinion makers [...]

July 1st, 2009 Daniel Fincke A reader of Andrew Sullivan’s blog brilliantly connects the dots: Part of Sarah Palin’s irresistible appeal to her fundamentalist base is her ability to look at the camera with utter conviction and declare black to be white. The ability to lie well is a valuable part of the fundamentalist psychology. My son isn’t gay, he [...]
Palin As Your Heavenly Father
June 30th, 2009 Daniel Fincke I don’t think anything could say God-complex any clearer than this: When Trig was born, Palin wrote an e-mail letter to friends and relatives, describing the belated news of her pregnancy and detailing Trig’s condition; she wrote the e-mail not in her own name but in God’s, and signed it “Trig’s Creator, Your Heavenly Father.”
Andrew Sullivan Lets Loose On Palin (Again)
June 30th, 2009 Daniel Fincke The last year or more I’ve been a devoted reader of Andrew Sullivan’s blog. But it was the last three months of the presidential campaign that I have the warmest nostalgia for and much of that time his blog painstakingly logged ever one of Sarah Palin’s lies and character flaws. It was a great source [...]
