Young, Conservative, and Evangelical
Awhile back in a PowerBlog exclusive I asserted, “Many, if not most, young evangelicals are just as conservative on life issues as their forebears.” Here are some references to back that up: First, 70% Evangelicals 18-29 who favor “making it more difficult for a woman to get an abortion.”55% Evangelicals 30 and older who favor this. (HT: Go Figure) From: “Young White Evangelicals: Less Republican, Still Conservative,” Pew Research Center. And next, “In attitudes toward education, drugs, abortion, religion, marriage,...
The Spirit of 76: Reagan Style
As we enter the presidential primary season, a look back at the 1976 Republican Primary is appropriate, considering it was a pivotal moment in American conservatism. It is a presidential race that conservative writer Craig Shirley calls a “successful defeat.” While Ronald Reagan ultimately lost the nomination to incumbent President Gerald Ford, this race would end up transforming the conservative movement, the Republican Party, the country, and eventually the world. Reagan came into the 1976 North Carolina primary having lost...
Rev. Sirico on the Romney Speech
The following is a statement by Rev. Robert A. Sirico, president of the Acton Institute, on Mitt Romney’s Dec. 6 “Faith in America” speech: Mitt Romney is right that religion and morality are core convictions in American society. Our freedom depends on this, pletely agree. Without the ability to manage our lives morally, the state steps into the vacuum, both in response to public demand and to serve the state’s own interests in expanding power. But soon after spelling this...
Global Warming Consensus Alert – Gassy ‘Roos to Save Planet?
Here at Global Warming Consensus Watch World Headquarters we’re bold. We push the limits. We tackle subjects that other bloggers just don’t have the guts to tackle (I’m looking at you, Ballor). And if that means we need to do a post on kangaroo flatulance, then that’s what we do. But what, you may be asking, does the gassy emission of the herbivorous marsupial of the family Macropodidae, of Australia and adjacent islands, have to do with climate change? We’re...
Farm Subsidies Follow-up: Feed the Rich
In one of this week’s Acton Commentaries, Ray Nothstine and I juxtapose a static, sedentary dependence on government subsidies with a dynamic, entrepreneurial spirit of innovation. The impetus for this short piece was an article that originally appeared in the Grand Rapids Press (linked in mentary). I have two things to say about these stories and then I want to add some further reflections on the world of agricultures subsidies. First, I found the article’s “hook” to be quite shoddy...
Tonight: Rev. Sirico on Fox Business to discuss ‘WWJB?’
Rev. Robert A. Sirico, president of the Acton Institute, is scheduled to join Fox Business host David Asman tonight to discuss the new documentary, “What Would Jesus Buy?” They’ll be joined by documentary producer Morgan Spurlock and performance artist Bill Talen, of the “Church of Stop Shopping.” The segment is set to air between 7-8 p.m. Eastern time. Check your local listings — and expect a lively debate. Watch the WWJB? trailer here. Update: Here’s the interview… ...

UPDATED: Mitt Romney — Reassuring Evangelical Voters?
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney is expected to address the topic of his Mormon faith in a speech at the George Bush Library in College Station, Texas, tomorrow. The parisons are being made to President John F. Kennedy, a Roman Catholic, who gave a speech in 1960 to assuage the concerns of American protestants over papal influence in the White House. Kennedy’s speech to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association can be found here. In addition, there is also a link for...
What’s Wrong with Christmas Consumerism
I’ve seen mercial a number of times this holiday season and it bothers me more and more every time: But what precisely is wrong with this ad, and the spirit that animates it? Rev. Billy might say that the problem lies with the gifts themselves. While he might be satisfied if the gifts came from places such as “the shelves of mom and pop stores, farmers markets, artisans and on Craigslist,” he certainly wouldn’t approve of gifts from a “big...
Criminalizing Thought
For those of us who cherish liberty and the freedom we enjoy in the west to engage in spirited debate, stories like this are very disturbing: Up north, the Canadian Islamic Congress announced the other day that at least two of Canada’s “Human Rights Commissions” – one federal, one provincial – had agreed to hear plaints that their “human rights” had been breached by this “flagrantly Islamophobic” excerpt from my book, as published in the country’s bestselling news magazine, Maclean’s....
