It is Unconstitutional for Laws to be Based on Religiously Influenced Moral Reasons?
Is it unconstitutional for laws to be based on their supporters’ religiously founded moral beliefs? While most of us—at least most readers of this blog—would consider such a question to be absurd, some people apparently think it should be answered in the affirmative. Fortunately, legal scholar Eugene Volokh has provided a brilliant rebuttal which explains why “it would be an outrageous discrimination against religious believers to have such a constitutional rule”: My most recent brush with the argument happened with...

There’s No Size or Space in Subsidiarity
When thinking and talking about principle of subsidiarity I’ve tended to resort to using metaphors of size and space (i.e.,nothing should be done by a higher orlargerorganization which can be done as well by a smalleror lower organization). But philosopher Brandon Watson explains why that is not really what subsidiarity is all about: The subsidiarity principle is often paired with the principle of solidarity, and there is a real connection between the two. Solidarity is the active sense of responsibility...
Why Economics Can’t Explain the Problems of the New Lower Class
If only we would use public policy to generate working-class jobs at good wages, some progressives argue, the problems of the new lower class would fade away. But as social scientist Charles Murray explains, there are two problems with this line of argument: The purported causes don’t explain the effects, and whether they really were the causes doesn’t make much difference anyway. Start with the prevalent belief that the labor market affected marriage because of the disappearance of the “family...
What Jeremiah and Ezekiel Can Teach the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street
“If Christians want to advance mon good,” says D.C. Innes in a a review of the new documentary With Liberty or Justice for All, “they should turn to their own hearts, not the government.” The one statement of substantive political thinking in the es from Emmett, and I think it is profound. He describes a healthy political order as one made up of largely self-regulating citizens. “The Founders’ vision was, and because God’s vision was, that we would be …...
What Methodism Teaches us about Poverty
We all know the promises government has made over the years about how certain programs and initiatives would eradicate poverty. But perhaps nothing rivals the Methodist movement in terms of effectively stamping out poverty in England. Charles Edward White and Bobby Butler’s essay “John Wesley’s Church Planting Movement: Discipleship that Transformed a Nation and Changed the World” is a splendid overview of Methodism’s impact on English society, especially as it relates to the middle class explosion. People of faith understand...

On Call in Culture on a Normal Day
I love the scene in the movie, A Beautiful Mind, where it portrays John Nash finding his truly original idea. He isn’t in a library, classroom or lab. No, he is out with his friends in a bar, trying to figure out how to get a group of women to pay attention to him and his buddies. Out of that problem, he discovered a principle that could be applied to situations of much more significance and went on to continue...
