By Peter Laarman

…grich-Clinton welfare “reform” of 1996 came as but the outward and visible sign of the inward and spiritual grace that had disappeared systemic poverty from the national consciousness, or had at least converted it from being the product of injustice and oppression to being instead the collective expression of a whole lot of bad individual choices made by the poor themselves.

The “Batsh*t Crazy” Party’s Candidates Assume Their “Religious Liberty” Stances

By Patricia Miller

…can’t be “repealed” (and will someone please tell Trump that judges don’t “sign bills”). Nonetheless, Trump took the “litmus test” bait and said that he’s “been there very strongly” on religious liberty, whatever that means, before pivoting to criticize Chief Justice John Roberts—and by implication Ted Cruz, who voted for his nomination. Cruz followed up by predicting that Trump would “make a deal” on religious liberty then setting himself up as t…

We can work for some common things but we need not work the room on the same day and arrive on the same train. We can respect even those who disagree with us, but we don’t need to sleep together.
