According to a new study by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, just 1% of the campaign coverage by major news outlets (including broadcast and cable television, radio, newspaper front pages and the most popular news websites) focused on the religion of the candidates or the role of religion in the presidential election. Only 6% of the election- related stories in major news outlets contained any reference to religion. Media attention to religion’s importance in the campaign peaked during the primaries, when several Republican candidates spoke about their Christian beliefs. The prominence of religious rhetoric in speeches by Rep. Michele Bachmann, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former U.S.

  • Placing the Militia Occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon
    Placing the Militia Occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon Carolyn Gallaher School of International Service American University [email protected] Abstract This intervention examines the recent militia occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. There is no consensus on how to place the group. Some commentators suggest the group was white supremacist. Others argue that it was animated by religious fanaticism. Still others emphasize the group’s grievances with the Bureau of Land Management. I argue here that the Malheur occupiers’ politics cannot be understood with reference to a single identity position. Rather, we need to focus on the group’s anti-government rhetoric because it funnels and shapes multiple interests at once. Here I examine how the group’s anti-government rhetoric frames race and class interests. In terms of race, I argue that anti-government rhetoric obscures the white interests behind the occupation. This concealment is based on a selective reading of history that emphasizes the end of settlement, when the government took ownership of land not claimed during the settlement period, instead of the stage leading up to it, when the government seized Indigenous land for white settlement. So construed, the occupiers could claim they were taking the ‘people’s’ land back from the government rather than engaging in a second round of white theft of Indigenous land. In terms of class, I argue that because the occupiers framed their fight as against government tyranny instead of as for privatization, the occupiers did not have to confront the inequities that come with privatization.

  • The Malheur Occupations and the Hyper-Masculine Drive for Control
    The Patriarch and the Sovereign: The Malheur Occupations and the Hyper-Masculine Drive for Control COURTNEY IRONS* On January 2, 2016, a group of armed protestors seized control of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. The occupation followed a long tradition of resistance in western states of federal land management policy, but the members took a stricter approach to federalism than most. The group fully rejected federal sovereignty over the land, and in doing so demonstrated a particularly gendered approach to power and government. The purpose of this Note is to explore how the occupier‟s understanding of federalism relates to theories on masculinity. Drawing on statements made during the course of the occupation, news reports, and testimony during the subsequent legal proceedings, this Note will argue the occupiers‟ patriarchal beliefs about masculinity influenced and informed their understanding of federalism with the belief that doing so may help us understand the growing nationalist and extremist views in conservative movements today. * Executive Notes Editor, Colum.

  • This Entry Has Nothing to Do with God
    Blog Export: Please God No, http://pleasegodno.com/ Friday, August 10. 2007 Mormons are completely fucking retarded. Mormons... Dumb. Joseph Smith was the only one of Jesus' disciples to get shot in the face with a gun. Of all religions, I would have to say the Mormonism is the most delusionally retarded. The fact that we have a presidential candidate that believes this crap is almost as offensive as our current president that believes this crap. I have respect for most people's religious views. Catholics, Baptists, Jews, and even Pastafarians. But Mormonism is just outright ridiculous. One of the scariest things about Mormons, is that they have the capacity to believe anything... No matter how insanely and comically unsensical. "(The book of Mormon) was done in a space of three months, using scribes while Smith translated (from golden plates) from behind a curtain." If the level of sophistication required to brainwash millions of people into a religion was displayed by Smith, we all have the capacity to start a religion. After all, there must be a group of people in the world that would tithe to a religion that was rooted in a story of a guy like me, sitting in my bathroom with a black light, reading my wall splattered feces like a Rorschach Inkblot Test. Just as logical, and just as ridiculous. Posted by TK (Admin) at 00:40 Complete friggin retards. At least christianity is based on multiple accounts, but this is completely mormonic, i mean moronic. This dude Smith finds these gold plates only he can read (Clue 1 that he's a con).

IVORY, FIELDER, & THE AMERICAN LANDS COUNCIL: BRIDGE FROM THE EXTREME TO THE MAINSTREAM 21. CONCLUSION 25. 1EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The 2016 armed standoff at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon provided the American public with a ringside seat to a disturbing trend on U.S. public lands: extremist and militia groups using America’s national forests, parks, monuments, and wildlife refuges to advance their anti-government beliefs. But these far right-wing organizations are not operating in a vacuum. To the contrary, the armed insurrection in Oregon and Nevada before—led by Ammon Bundy and the Bundy family—share the same foundations as land transfer schemes promoted by some elected leaders in states throughout the West. Both rely upon a philosophy based in vehement anti-government ideologies, both have connections to organizations that espouse armed resistance, both employ pseudo-legal theories to justify their actions, and both use scholarly support from conspiracy theorists and discredited academics. Our nation’s parks and network of public lands are one of our finest democratic achievements.

  • Edwin Rushton As the Source of the White Horse Prophecy
    Edwin Rushton as the Source of the White Horse Prophecy Don L. Penrod he so-called white horse prophecy is a document attracting much Tundeserved attention both in and out of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The text claims to contain words spoken by the Prophet Joseph Smith in Nauvoo in 1843 to Edwin Rushton and Theodore Turley. The prophecy assigns a white horse, a red horse, a black horse, and a pale horse to different groups of people. It prophesies that the white horse (the Latter-day Saints) will create a wealthy haven in the Rocky Mountains to which many people of the world will gather for safety amid anarchy, war, and massive destruction. The prophecy was denounced by leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as early as 19181 and as recently as 2009,2 but it still circulates among some Church members and unofficial publications today. The prophecy is often erroneously cited as the earliest and most reliable source of two statements: that the United States Constitution will hang by a thread and that Joseph Smith prophesied that the Latter-day Saints would settle in the Rocky Mountains. In fact, these statements have reliable sources that predate the writing of the white horse prophecy, as shown below; those other sources should be cited rather than the white horse prophecy. The evi- dence presented hereafter shows that the document was not written around 1854, as is commonly claimed, but more likely after 1890. This article publishes for the first time the two documents that are the basis for the white horse prophecy.
