By James C. Capretta, Yuval Levin
Thursday, March 18, 2010
In the president #39;s health-care plan, employers would get penalized if their low- and moderate-wage workers ended up in thefederally-subsidized insurance pool. Quite predictably, companies would respond by hiring fewer such workers to keep their costs down.

By James C. Capretta
Wednesday, March 17, 2010
The president has decided that the only way to get a bill to his desk is by making defeat unfathomable for members of his own party. But the public #39;s concern about costs should be enough to force Congress to come back later with a plan that is less risky for the country #39;s economic future.
High Hurdles for Health Bill
Democrats will have to overcome a number of parliamentary and political pitfalls
By Rick Santorum
Tuesday, March 16, 2010
Passing health care through reconciliation could come down to a contest between the Republicans #39; determination to tie up the Senate and Vice President Biden #39;s willingness to abuse the rules and shut off amendments.

By Peter Wehner
Tuesday, March 16, 2010

By Peter Wehner
Monday, March 15, 2010

Would Jesus Defend Marriage?
By Colleen Carroll Campbell
Friday, March 12, 2010
It was a controversy tailor-made for the TV cameras: A lesbian couple in the liberal bastion of Boulder, Colorado, had enrolled their children in a Catholic parish school, only to see those children denied re-enrollment once the parish priest learned of their home situation.
Ralph McInerny and the Tragedy of Notre Dame
By George Weigel
Wednesday, March 10, 2010

By Peter Wehner
Tuesday, March 9, 2010

Obama and Health Care: His Suicide Mission for Democrats
By Peter Wehner
Friday, March 5, 2010

The President's Health Plan Won’t Cut the Budget Deficit
By James C. Capretta
Friday, March 5, 2010
President Obama says Congress should pass his health plan to improve the budget outlook. In fact, Congress should reject it to protect the budget from more unfunded entitlement obligations.
In Defense of 'Speciesism'
By Colleen Carroll Campbell
Friday, March 5, 2010
It #39;s easy to snicker at the sort of people who berated Barack Obama last year for smacking a fly. But there is surprisingly little distance between the animal-rights movement #39;s violent radicals and those who serve as its more moderate public face.
