  Isaiah 26:8-9 In-Context

  6 Feet trample it down- the feet of the oppressed, the footsteps of the poor.

  7 The path of the righteous is level; you, the Upright One, make the way of the righteous smooth.

  8 Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,Or "judgments"we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.

  9 My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.

  10 But when grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil and do not regard the majesty of the Lord.

  11 Lord, your hand is lifted high, but they do not see it. Let them see your zeal for your people and be put to shame; let the fire reserved for your enemies consume them.

Christian Printer Wins Victory for Conscience Rights
Blaine Adamson is the owner of Hands On Originals, a pany in Fayette County, Kentucky. Like almost every printer since Gutenberg, Mr. Adamson believed he had the right to decide what items his conscience would allow him to print and which he’d have to reject. Indeed, pany regularly declines to print expressive materials because of the message that they display. When he was asked to print shirts promoting the Lexington Pride Festival, a gay pride event, Adamson politely declined and...
How Corporate Lobbying Led to Big Business-Big Government Cronyism
In America we have a form of government in which power resides in a cadre of elected (and unelected) individuals who represent the interests of the citizens. Because of this structure, it is natural and necessary for people and groups to attempt to influence decisions made by government officials. After all, if we don’t tell our representatives what our interest are, how will they be able to represent our views? This process, known as “lobbying”, is an organic function of...
Alternatives to the Great Society
The Great Society only made things worse, says Acton’s co-founder and executive director, Kris Mauren.

How Hiring A Convicted Felon Changed A Business And Saved A Life

He told his employer that had he not been hired, he...

Who Earns Minimum Wage And Why It’s Okay
Do you remember trying to find that first job? You’d be told you needed experience by an would-be employer, but no one would hire you so you could get the experience.
