‘Little Victims Of The State:’ Steam-Rolling Religious Liberty In America
Mona Charen, writing for National Review Online, notes that the image-conscious Obama Administration has not been very careful about choosing it foes in the HHS mandate fight. Wanna pick a fight? How about some Catholic sisters? The Little Sisters of the Poor is a Catholic charity providing care to the poorest elderly in a hospice-like setting. They serve 13,000 people in 31 countries, and operate 30 homes in the United States. Their faith calls them to treat every person, no...
Has ‘Income Inequality’ Become Code For ‘Envy?’
There are, according to Christian teaching, 7 deadly sins: wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony. Unchecked, these dark places in the human heart will lead to the ultimate death of Hell (yes, some of us still believe in that.) There is much discussion today about e inequality.” President Obama has declared it the most important issue of our time. He says it is not about equal es, but equal opportunity, referencing the rise of Abraham Lincoln from poverty...
ICCR Working Inside Progressive Bubble
“A little older, a little more confused,” the late Dennis Hopper once intoned. One month into 2014, the same could be said for this writer. After all, what could be more confusing than members of the munity employed as willing conspirators in the great organized labor gambit to stifle corporate political speech? Year after year, however, that’s increasingly the case. For example, the Interfaith Council on Corporate Responsibility’s recently redesigned website heralds its distaste for corporate participation in the political...
Knowledge, Power, and the Element of Entrepreneurial Surprise
In his new book, Knowledge and Power, the imitable George Gilder aims at reframing our economic paradigm, focusing heavily on the tension between the power of the State and the knowledge of entrepreneurs —or, as William Easterly has put it, the planners and the searchers. “Wealth is essentially knowledge,” Gilder writes, and “the war between the centrifuge of knowledge and the centripetal pull of power remains the prime conflict in all economies.” In a recent interview with Peter Robinson, he...

Transformation Starts with Culture
“We need transformation, relief, and opportunity…in that order,” says AEI’s Arthur Brooks in a new video on conservatism and poverty alleviation. “Transformation starts with culture. Transformation is faith, munity, and work…That’s the beginning of getting people into the process of rising.” For more along these lines, see Brooks’ new article in Commentary magazine, “Be Open-Handed Toward Your Brothers”: To be sure, many of our poor neighbors lead happy, upright lives full of faith, munity, and fulfilling work. But to deny...
Post-Super Bowl Thoughts on Theology and America
How ’bout them Seahawks? As a Chicago Bears fan the answer to that question means very little to me, but I did enjoy the annual ritual of binge-eating and loudly talking over friends and loved ones who gathered together around the TV for Super Bowl 48. One thing that stood out was the tradition of having various NFL players and civil servants recite the Declaration of Independence before the game. Some of the powerful (and unmistakably religious) lines from our...
