		<description><![CDATA[The timing couldn&#8217;t be more profound: just one day after California gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown is caught on tape as a campaign aide calls Meg Whitman a &#8220;whore&#8221;, the National Organization for Women announces &#8212; you guessed it &#8212; that it is supporting Jerry Brown for Governor. Proving that liberal orthodoxy trumps gender every time, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(Author: Robert F. Sasseen) Is affordable healthcare for all a question of individual rights, or a requirement of the common good? The public debate in the US seems to assume that it is both. It is not my purpose here to examine what reforms are necessary or wise, but to identify some of the issues of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[James Madison, the father of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, asked, &#8221;Who are the Best Keepers of the People&#8217;s Liberties?&#8221; in a 1792 article in the National Gazette, a Republican newspaper critical of the ruling Federalist party. The question is always relevant. For nearly a century, so-called &#8220;progressives&#8221; have insisted that they are entitled to public [...]]]></description>

It was inevitable that the President’s approval ratings would ebb from his honeymoon period after the election. Simply put: President Obama could not live up to the image that Candidate Obama created. Who could? But there is more behind [...]]]></description>
