Neuhaus, the Reverse Edwards
Saturday, October 18, 2008 3:31 PM
Father Richard John Neuhaus, with characteristic aplomb, weighs in on the presidential race at the First Things blog in a post titled At Long Last: Obama, Abortion, and the Courts.
In doing so, like a reverse John Edwards from Planet Opposite, he explains how America today is really two nations.
“Political punditry is not my main shtick,” he writes, “and I have no idea whether the debate... READ MORE

Our President

P.S. (added at a reader’s request on Dec. 1): Please do explore the rest of this site, especially the Hot Topics links at the bottom of the home page. We are 100% pro-life and pro-marriage, and we spent the months before the election educating readers about Obama’s pro-abortion positions. My only point in this post, nearly a month ago, was that many pro-life voters voted for Obama and are excited... READ MORE

Lopez: How are you keeping spirits up?
Dannenfelser: Drinking?
The bad news from Dannenfelser:
“In the House, there is a net loss of 15 pro-life votes. In the... READ MORE

Our Hope Wasn’t in McCain
Saturday, November 22, 2008 10:30 AM
“It might seem like things are bleak and getting bleaker.” So begins the first editorial in our “Hope for America” series.
“The truth is, there are several things we can do to either ensure that this is the first step of a crushing defeat on the one hand, or the beginning of a new victory on the other.” Readers of “Our President” and this week’s Letters will know where that “first step of a... READ MORE
