A Life Worth Living
By Christine Rosen
Posted: Monday, June 30, 2008
Harriet McBryde Johnson forced us to look at disability in a different way -- not as something that we should seek to eradicate, but as something that is integral to the human condition, a "natural part of the human experience," as the American Association of People With Disabilities puts it.

The Presumptions of a Pastoral Letter
By George Weigel
Posted: Monday, June 30, 2008
The farther the 1980s recede into the historical rear-view mirror, the less The Challenge of Peace looks like an insightful analysis of the political dynamics of that dramatic decade. It is now clear that disarmament -- not the arms control promoted by the bishops' letter, but real disarmament -- only took place after a human rights revolution had brought down the communist regimes of central and eastern Europe.

Dobson vs. Obama
By Peter Wehner
Posted: Monday, June 30, 2008
There are certainly reasons for evangelicals to have concerns about Barack Obama -- based on his extreme views on abortion, judicial nominees, Iraq and other issues. But critics of Obama have an obligation to provide a fair and honest critique, and the attacks leveled by James Dobson fall terribly short of that standard. If Christian conservatives want to be taken seriously, they need to make serious arguments and speak with intellectual integrity.

True Believer
Obama was for black-liberation theology before he was against it.
By Stanley Kurtz
Posted: Monday, June 30, 2008
Barack Obama's own writings solve the mystery of why he stayed at Trinity for 20 years. Obama's long-held and decidedly audacious hope has been to spread Jeremiah Wright's radical spirit by linking it to a viable, left-leaning political program, with Obama himself at the center.

The Gathering Storm, June 26, 2008
By Rick Santorum
Posted: Thursday, June 26, 2008
U .N. nuclear watchdog head Mohamed ElBaradei told Al-Arabiya television that Iran could have a nuclear weapon within six months. "If Iran wants to turn to the production of nuclear weapons, it must leave the NPT, expel the IAEA inspectors, and then it would need at least, considering the number of centrifuges and the quantity of uranium Iran has...It would need at least six months to one year," ElBaradei said. When asked "If Iran decides today to expel the IAEA from the country, it will need six months to produce [nuclear] weapons?" He answered, "It would need this period to produce a weapon, and to obtain highly-enriched uranium in sufficient quantities for a single nuclear weapon."

Remembering the Greatest
By George Weigel
Posted: Wednesday, June 25, 2008
I've had the "sports disease" since 1957, which is as far as my sports memory takes me. By the end of 1958, though, I was completely hooked, the bait having been merely the greatest pro football game ever, the 1958 sudden-death NFL championship in which John Unitas, Raymond Berry and the Baltimore Colts took down the New York Giants of Frank Gifford and Sam Huff.

By Rick Santorum
Posted: Wednesday, June 25, 2008
The Washington Post published a rather revealing article on the concerns many European diplomats have about a potential Obama administration's willingness to negotiate directly with Iran about its nuclear program. Obama has pledged to begin direct talks with Iran about suspending uranium enrichment; an activity the U.N. Security Council has said is a prerequisite for any discussions .

Latin Days Are Here Again?
By George Weigel
Posted: Friday, June 20, 2008
Is Pope Benedict XVI determined to restore the Latin mass that many Roman Catholics thought had been consigned to the dustbin of history? The answer, in short, is both yes and no. But neither the "yes" nor the "no" quite fits the conventional speculations in several recent media reports following off-the-cuff remarks to a small Catholic association in Great Britain by a Vatican official.
