Chris Rock For President

Last updated on: March 4, 2016 at 11:12 am By Frank Schaeffer

The commonsense, dignity and compassion– not to mention brilliant humor that Chris Rock brought to his Oscar opening will go down in history.

What a lesson for anyone interested in communicating with other human beings in a way... Read more

Last updated on: February 23, 2016 at 5:08 am By Frank Schaeffer

picture composite by theodysseyonline.com According to press reports, when a heckler interrupted Trump, he openly invited violence. “You know what they used to do with guys like that when they were in a place like this? They’d be carried out on a stretcher, folks,” Trump snarled. Moments later Trump saw the protester was smiling as he was marched from the room by Trump’s guards and Trump raged: “I’d like to punch him in the face, I tell you that.” With a promise to build a wall to...

An open letter to the Republican establishment leadership

Last updated on: February 22, 2016 at 12:08 pm By Frank Schaeffer

photo en.wikipedia.org Dear Republicans, I used to be one of you. When I was a religious right activist in the 1970s and 1980s. I fondly remember staying with my friends Jack and Joanne Kemp in their home in Washington DC. Jack was the quintessential establishment Republican of that day. He would go on to run as the vice presidential candidate with Bob Dole. Jack hosted a meeting at the Rayburn House in Washington DC for 50 Congressman and Senators one... Read more

Here’s the Best Article Ever on the Fact that Ted Cruz is Literally the First Openly Reconstructionist/Theocracy Candidate to Run for President

Last updated on: February 26, 2016 at 10:37 am By Frank Schaeffer

Rushdoony never died. He’s back and now called “Ted Cruz.” Here’s the best article I’ve read proving that Ted Cruz is a genuine Reconstructionist in what amounts to a conspiracy to turn America into a Saudi-style harsh theocracy. Cruz is the real deal: a Reconstructist/Dominionist with ties to scary religious extremists. You may not be familiar with these terms. So here’s a quote from my book Sex Mom and God that explains these folks a bit. Then after reading this... Read more

Donald Trump is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist,birther and bully who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims. Someone finally took note : According to the Guardian newspaper: Donald Trump has called Pope Francis “disgraceful” over the pontiff’s suggestion the Republican presidential frontrunner was “not a Christian” for his plan to build a wall at the Mexican border.

An Open Letter to Black Americans From This White Former Republican Religious Right Enemy: When it Comes to the Nomination of a New Supreme Court Justice, President Obama is Being Disrespected Because He’s Black. Period!

Last updated on: February 18, 2016 at 5:24 am By Frank Schaeffer

Dear Black America, I am a white privileged well off sixty-three-year-old former Republican religious right wing activist who changed his mind about religion and politics long ago. In view of what the Republicans have become in 2016 and how they have disrespected President Obama for 7 years, I’m glad I fled that party. The New York Times noted that because I left the right wing my former friends call me a traitor. These days in view of the naked racism of... Read more
