The secular world today trembles and shudders at the sight of Rick Santorum speaking on good and evil at Ave Maria University in Florida in 2008. Santorum’s statement came 25 years after another much-maligned social conservative, Ronald Reagan, delivered a similarly fiery speech in Florida in 1983. In both cases, [...]

On this weekend’s radio program, Glen talks about President Obama’s record $3.8 trillion budget, and the President’s failure to reign in out of control government spending.  This budget never balances, and ads another $1.3 trillion to our nations already dangerously high debt.
Glen also talks with George Weigel, distinguished senior fellow of Washington’s “Ethics and Public [...]

Last Friday, President Obama responded to Catholic bishops’ concerns over his controversial mandate compelling Catholic institutions to provide contraception, sterilization, and abortion-inducing pharmaceuticals. Many media sources reported Obama’s action as an “accommodation,” with some describing it as a “reversal.” It is hardly that. Many Catholics find it arguably worse.

George Weigel, Catholic Scholar and theologian, has an interesting column over at National Review Online today, regarding the Obama Administration’s “accommodation” and the Catholic Bishops’ response thus far.
That the administration would play divide-and-conquer with the Catholic Church [...]

After a few days of consideration…
Catholics strongly disapprove of the job President Obama is doing as the debate continues over his administration’s new policy forcing Catholic institutions to pay for contraception they morally oppose. While the president’s overall job approval ratings have improved over the past couple of months, they have remained steady among Catholics.

I’ve gotten some very interesting emails regarding President Obama’s mandate commanding Roman Catholics (and many evangelical Protestants) to violate their consciences by providing mandatory contraception, sterilization, and abortion-inducing pharmaceuticals. The emailers noted that Obama’s action will force Catholics to challenge the president in court, particularly given that bishops are saying they will [...]

John Fund writes late yesterday evening over at National Review Online…
Mitt Romney’s campaign will have lots of explanations for their man’s poor showing tonight. Yes, Colorado and Minnesota were caucus states — the turnout is skewed in such contests toward a more conservative electorate. Yes, Missouri’s primary was a “beauty contest” and didn’t award any [...]
