An Unrequited Letter to Anne Rice
Posted by Robert P. George on December 17, 2007, 9:29 AM
Dear Ms. Rice:
I am a professor of the philosophy of law at Princeton, and someone who enjoyed your fine book Out of Egypt. I have read your endorsement of Senator Clinton and your reasoning as to why you support her despite your pro-life convictions.
I am a former Democrat who left the party because it hardened its heart toward the child in the womb. In the 1990s, I had the honor of working for Governor Robert P. Casey of Pennsylvania, the last of the great national pro-life Democratic political leaders. (The governor, you may recall, was denied an opportunity to speak at the 1992 Democratic National Convention because of his pro-life advocacy.) I am the grandson of West Virginia coal miners who, together with my grandmothers, were loyal Democrats. If they were alive today, they would ache, as I ache, to know that the political party they loved has committed itself to the legal protection of the killing of the unborn.

WA Post: Crackdown on Child Pornography
Crackdown on Child Pornography
Federal Action, Focused on Internet, Sets Off a Debate

Lewd photographs of children were disappearing from adult bookstores. Child porn magazines in plain brown envelopes were no longer reaching customers through the mail. It was the early 1990s, and experts believed that federal law enforcement efforts were ending child pornography.
“We thought this was one of those rare forms of social deviance, of criminal behavior, that had been eradicated,” said Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. “Except for a fixated group of hard-core pedophiles, we thought it was gone.”

House approves Christmas resolution
By Tom Strode – Dec 13, 2007
The House of Representatives approved a resolution Dec. 11 acknowledging the significance of Christmas and Christianity.
The roll call was 372-9 for passage. The resolution’s sponsor expressed astonishment over the “no” votes. Rep. Steve King, R.-Iowa, said he could not understand how members of Congress could vote against the measure after the House approved without opposition similar resolutions honoring observances of Islam and Hinduism.

Richard Land: A Hope List for Romney’s Speech
Nov 5, 2007
Former Massachusetts Governor and current Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is going to give a speech on “Religion in America” tomorrow in Texas.
I have been encouraging Governor Romney to give such a speech for over a year now, since I first met with him at his home in Massachusetts. He had invited approximately a dozen evangelical leaders to meet with him to have a free-wheeling discussion about his presidential candidacy and to allow us to ask him questions—and to allow him to ask us questions as well.
