On health care reform and bank regulation, I would...
Calvin Coolidge Jr.’s Powerful Poem on Success
Calvin Sr. and Calvin Jr. In reading Amity Shlaes’ marvelousbiography of Calvin Coolidge, I was struck by a brief poem written by Coolidge’s son, Calvin Jr., during his father’s stint as vice president to Warren Harding. Coolidge was having a hard time adapting to life in Washington, ridiculed for a variety of things, and struggling to remain supportive of an administration which, as Shlaes puts it, boasted “a temperament wilder than his own.” As one glimpse into these matters, Coolidge’s...

Why Libertarians Shouldn’t Be Atheists
The impression that atheism or materialism is an plished host for libertarian values is mistaken, says Jay Richards. “Libertarians may be surprised to learn that these core values—if not the entire repertoire of libertarian ideas—makes far more sense in a theistic milieu.” Richards examines four areas that are lost by embracing an atheistic, materialistic worldview: No Individual RightsNo Freedom or ResponsibilityNo Reliable ReasonNo Moral Truth Richards makes clear that his argument does not claim that either libertarian values or theism...
A Chicago Chicken Shop’s Statement of Faith
Leghorn Chicken, a “socially conscious chicken shop” in Chicago, makes it quite clear that they intend to be, as one might put it, a culture-making enterprise. Behold, their statement of faith(HT). Such an attitude, worldview, and moral orientation isn’t all that appealing to someone such as myself, particularly when paired with the lovely parental advisory sign located at the counter. Yet I feel no inclination to enlist the muscle of the magistrates to manipulate them toward watering things down. I...
