The Moral Hazard of Over-Regulation
By David Henderson, Contributing Editor
Culturally, we are growing so accustomed to governmental regulation of our lives that we are in danger of losing our innate capacity for self-determination – that is, our very freedom. Blindly, we accept the accretion of thousands upon thousands of regulations governing our lives as a necessary reality, never questioning their validity or benefit.

Arrested Adolescence and the Politics of 'Yolo'
By David Henderson, Contributing Editor
There's another phrase that's gained widespread popularity, particularly among youth, and that is, "Yolo" – an acronym for "You only live once." ...Yolo may well serve as a motto for our day – a day in which the entire culture seems to languish in a kind of arrested adolescence.

Benghazi, the Fiscal Cliff, and the Demise of Truth
By David Henderson, Contributing Editor
As slippery as Post-Modernism is to define, what can be said about this philosophy is that there is a denial of objective truth or meaning apart from what the individual as interpreter brings to any given text or narrative. In this view, facts do not stand on their own as facts, but only have meaning as individual persons endow them with meaning.

Our Religious Freedom Depends on this Election
By David Henderson, Contributing Editor
The right to exercise one’s conscience without state compulsion to the contrary is essential to our liberty. Our nation was founded on the principle that we, as individuals, are free, not because our freedom is derived from the State, but precisely because it is in the very nature of being human (whether one views humanity as created by God or not).

Christians Caught in "Arab Spring" Crossfire
By David Henderson, Contributing Editor
Christians, by the tens of thousands, are fleeing their ancient homelands. They are being forced to flee the ancient birthplaces of the Christian faith itself. Like countless Jews before them, Christians are now seeking refuge in countries other than their own because of increasing persecution from Islamist groups. There is a new diaspora – a new “dispersion.” Remarkably, few in the West are even aware of the plight of this Christian minority in the Middle East and northern Africa.
