Andrew Sullivan’s 2012 Yglesias Award

Our own Father Tony Adams is among Andrew Sullivan’s 2012 finalists in his annual Yglesias Award, which is granted to “writers, politicians, columnists or pundits who actually criticize their own side, make enemies among political allies, and generally risk something for the sake of saying what they believe.”  Hit the link for the quotes from all of this year’s finalists. …

HomoQuotable – Andrew Sullivan

“Many evangelicals loathe my use of the word Christianism, rather than Christianity, to describe the fusion of political power and religion to police the moral lives of others. They recoil at the echo of Islamism – although we know many Islamist parties, as in Turkey or Indonesia, that do not engage in terrorism, but merely believe in the fusion of …

HomoQuotable – Andrew Sullivan

“As an Obama supporter, I remain committed, if deeply demoralized. The reason for that new ambivalence is not that the reasons for re-electing him have changed – we desperately need to raise revenues to tackle the debt, we cannot launch a new Judeo-Christian war against Islam in the Middle East without igniting an even more ferocious global religious conflict; it’s …

Sully & The City

Andrew Sullivan isn’t adjusting well to life in New York City. From today’s post titled New York Shitty: We went to a store and found a couch; they delivered the wrong one. We went to Best Buy to get a new TV; they delivered the wrong one. When they did deliver the right one, the cable-box was dead. We could …

Andrew Sullivan On The Debate

“This was a disaster for the president for the key people he needs to reach, and his effete, wonkish lectures may have jolted a lot of independents into giving Romney a second look. Obama looked tired, even bored; he kept looking down; he had no crisp statements of passion or argument; he wasn’t there. He was entirely defensive, which may …

HomoQuotable – Andrew Sullivan

“If Obama wins, to put it bluntly, he will become the Democrats’ Reagan. The narrative writes itself. He will emerge as an iconic figure who struggled through a recession and a terrorized world, reshaping the economy within it, passing universal health care, strafing the ranks of al -Qaeda, presiding over a civil-rights revolution, and then enjoying the fruits of the …

Anderson Cooper Officially Comes Out

Andrew Sullivan gets the much-coveted (if unsurprising) quote via an email from Cooper. The fact is, I’m gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud. I have always been very open and honest about this part of my life with my friends, my family, and my colleagues. In a …

From Sully’s Cover Story In Newsweek

“This, by any measure, is an astonishing pace of change in one presidential term. In four years Obama went from being JFK on civil rights to being LBJ: from giving uplifting speeches to acting in ways to make the inspiring words a reality. And he did so by co-opting the forces of resistance—like the military leadership. He fooled most of …

Slaggie Vs Sully

“No, Andrew, I do not see myself as a victim. That would be absurd. Nonetheless, the wall of hatred now directed at anyone who opposes gay marriage or traditional understandings of sex and gender is worth mentioning. Because it tells us what gay marriage is about. Not pluralism, not live-and-let-live, but establishing a new public morality which will not be …

Sullivan: Obama Has Let Go Of Fear

“[T]oday Obama did more than make that logical step. He let go of fear. He is clearly prepared to let the political chips fall as they may. That’s why we elected him. That’s the change we believed in. The contrast with a candidate who wants to abolish all rights for gay couples by amending the federal constitution, and who has …

Sullivan On Grenell’s Resignation

“It’s sometimes hard to explain to outsiders what level of principle is required to withstand the personal cost of being an out gay Republican. I’ve only ever been a gay conservative (never a Republican), and back in the 1990s, it was brutal living in the gay world and challenging liberal assumptions. I cannot imagine the social isolation of Grenell in …

Sullivan On The Growth Of Atheism

Andrew Sullivan today on Face The Nation: “What has happened since 1960 is that organized groups, like the Southern Baptist Council and other religious groups, have in fact become self-consciously political. They have become fused with one political party, the Republican Party — a party that is now defined by a particular religious faith, evangelicalism or far-right Catholic hierarchy. And …

Bill Donohue Vs Andrew Sullivan

Catholic League blowhard Bill Donohue is predictably angry about Andrew Sullivan’s Newsweek cover story. The Jesus that Sullivan has created—“calm, loving, accepting,” and, of course, “homeless”—is what happens when “Occupy Wall Street” becomes mistaken for Catholicism. Worse, Sullivan’s “Etch A Sketch” Jesus accounts for his remarkable conclusion that “the cross was not the point” of Jesus’ life. Sullivan’s article reads …

Fox Blurs Out Andrew Sullivan’s Name

Fox News is so pissed about Newsweek’s “Why Are Obama’s Critics So Dumb?” cover, they blurred out Andrew Sullivan’s name under the title. Sully had nothing to do with the title and in fact never makes a “dumb” claim in his article. But Tina Brown’s gotta sell magazines.

Quote Of The Day – Andrew Sullivan

“Under Obama, support for marriage equality and marijuana legalization has crested to record levels. Under Obama, a crucial state, New York, made marriage equality for gays an irreversible fact of American life. Gays now openly serve in the military, and the Defense of Marriage Act is dying in the courts, undefended by the Obama Justice Department. Vast government money has …
