Another Lesson in White House Values

Another Lesson in White House Values

We’ve got our values and we know goodness, but we hate only certain kinds of sin.

We stand up for values. Here’s what we believe:
Gay marriage is something we just can’t conceive
Of happening ever. The thought causes dread.
Gay men should just marry nice women instead.
If some of them marry not women but chaps,
Our civilization would simply collapse.
Abortion is murder. If we had our druthers,
We’d jail docs who do it, and also the mothers.
And research on stem cells is evil, a sin,
And so is bad language, and flicks that show skin.
And families other than these God forbids:
A dad and a mom and two point three kids.
And we support Jesus, and, oh, by the way,
When we think it’s needed, some torture’s OK.

Become a Sustaining Donor This September

Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.

This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.

We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible. 

I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today. 

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
