The people participate in votes in their states to choose electors to elect the president, but the people don't elect the president. We are not a democracy; we are a democratic republic. We have a representation system of government.

Capital punishment is neither cruel nor unusual.

A miserable politics awaits us when the irreligious rot flows downstream.

In democratic republics such as ours, citizens rely on public criticism of ideas and people to determine national policy.

Liberation from meaning leaves us skeptical of truth itself, comfortable only to acknowledge 'your truth' and 'my truth,' confident only in the reality of subjective feeling rather than objective fact.

Liberation tolerates no limits, be they political, cultural, religious, or even natural.

Democrats in sanctuary states support amnesty for illegal aliens, just so long as those illegal aliens don't wind up in sanctuary states.

President Trump committed obstruction. From the moment he defeated Hillary Clinton, Democrats have tried to overturn the 2016 election, and President Trump has obstructed their efforts every step of the way.

Even leftists can appreciate the beauty of traditional religion and culture. Unfortunately they tend to reject the spirit that animates that beauty.

Each dollar taxed and spent deprives Americans of the freedom to make their own choices.

For decades, the pro-life movement has focused on scientific evidence and ethical arguments.

Unborn babies - that is, fetuses, embryos, and even 'zygotes' - are innocent human beings.

No argument for abortion survives scientific, philosophical, or theological scrutiny.

As pro-life advocates continue to expose the scientific and ethical reality of abortion, we must also console the millions of Americans who carry the heavy burden of an enormous sin.

Are companies like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter open technology platforms or publishers with curated content? For years, Big Tech giants have tried to have it both ways, exploiting special legal protections to enrich themselves while behaving like publishers without the liabilities.

The belief that men and women are different, the decision to date a Christian girl, and the audacity to disagree with one's liberal friends suggest a radicalism so dangerous it merits a New York Times investigation.

That process of exposure to diverse opinions isn't 'brainwashing' - it's education.

In reality, student loan forgiveness is welfare for the rich: a federal mandate that people who will make less money on average over the course of their lives bail out people who will make more money on average over the course of their lives.

Modern economies rely on debt, which encourages productivity and growth. But that system of credit requires consequences for debtors who default.

From the beginning, religious faith animated the American quest to explore the heavens.

No one actually cares about blackface.

All people of goodwill object to racial hatred. But no one cares that Billy Crystal darkened his skin to portray Sammy Davis Jr.

Freedom is a choice. The grace of God abounds, and man is nonetheless free.

In 'Jesus Is King,' Kanye is free.

Marriage is not for everyone.

Politics might be religion for the Left, but conservatives understand there is more to life than politics.

The conservative vision regards politics more as a matter of gratitude than entitlement - duty over rights. We have inherited so much: a wonderful country, a culture of freedom and abundance, even our life itself, earned through no effort of our own but bequeathed as a gift from our forefathers.

Liberty plays an important role in justice, and there can be no justice without liberty, which is the power to do what one wills. But government exists first and foremost for the purpose of justice, which inclines the will to give each and all their due.

Conservatives who defend libertinism as liberty misunderstand what our Founding Fathers meant. We all love freedom. But freedom has a higher purpose, as should conservatives.

Public crises, particularly those concerning life and death, offer demagogues ample opportunity to amass more power.
