  Matthew 5:44,46-47 In-Context

  42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

  43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighborLev. 19:18 and hate your enemy.'

  44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

  45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

  46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?

  47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?

  48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

A Liberal Wolf in Communitarian Clothing
The problem munitarianism, claims Bradley C. S. Watson, is that it views religion as an instrumental good and individual virtue as destructive: es to sight as a movement that sees, far more clearly than liberalism, that the private sphere and private goods are rooted in, and in turn have an effect on, public goods. President Clinton, as a “new” Democrat, has effectively enlisted the intellectual backing of munitarian theorists in his efforts to distance himself and his party from the...

Memorial Day and the Right to Be Wrong
Last week I wondered about the student protests here in Quebec and the logic of the welfare state. In some conversations on these topics, I was challenged to consider the social meaning of phenomena like this (e.g. public protests of one kind or another). I’ll have some more to say about that later this week, I think, but for now, I think that it is true that from a certain point of view, regardless of the merits of an individual...

Should You Need the Government’s Permission to Work?
Getting the government’s permission to work—occupational licensing—hurts both consumers and entrepreneurs. That’s the conclusion of two new reports, one a study conducted by the Institute for Justice and the other a survey by the Kauffman Foundation and . As the reports note, in the 1950s, only one in 20 U.S. workers needed government permission to pursue their chosen occupation. Today, it is closer to one in three. Yet research to date provides little evidence that licensing protects public health and...
Reflections for Memorial Day
One of the powerful things about Memorial Day is that we live in munity and an America that is worthy of sacrifice. Many feel, for good reason, the foundational ideals of our Republic are in peril. The proclamation of the first Memorial Day by General John A. Logan in 1868 stated the importance of guarding the graves of those slain in battle with “sacred vigilance.” It is a calling bestowed upon all of us to toil for improvement of mon...
