Apparently an evangelical
climate initiative produced a few months back with the endorsement
of a number of prominent leaders has raised a number of questions,
including some leftist groups funding it. Columnist Jennifer Biddison
investigates these questions here.

Captain's
Quarters has an interesting post about the Supreme Court hearing a
case involving campaign contributions in Vermont. The Attorney General
of Vermont appeared before the Supremes in the case, claiming all sorts
of political corruption involving political contributions. When Chief
Justice Roberts asked if the exercised Vermont Attorney General had
prosecuted any cases involving this matter, the Vermont AG answered
"no"! Sometimes simple logic provides so rich an approach to issues of
the day. Check it out.

The Higher Education Research
Institute has produced a
study on this topic with interesting, if not surprising, findings.
Students overwhelmingly are interested in spiritual questions, expect
colleges and faculties to play a part in addressing these questions,
while the majority find little support from classes or faculty.
The report makes an interesting read about why this is so.
The Dark Side of China's Rise

Our table remains interested in
things Chinese because of the connections of one of our members with
that country. China scholar M. Pei provides an assessment of past,
present, and future in Foreign
Policy:
China’s economic boom has dazzled investors and captivated the world. But beyond the new high-rises and churning factories lie rampant corruption, vast waste, and an elite with little interest in making things better. Forget political reform. China’s future will be decay, not democracy. . . .
The Port Debate

It is clear at this point that
conservatives are split over the port issue, and that we can
realistically see it as a Harriet Miers moment for the Bush
administration. Tony Blankley weighs in here.
In the last few days, several free market and other conservative commentators -- along with various U.S. governmental spokesmen -- have taken to labeling those of us with reservations concerning the Dubai Ports World (DPW) deal as nativist, racist or Islamophobic. With 70 percent of the public in opposition to the port deal, this is as searing a criticism of American tolerance as ever has been hurled from America's cultural or political opponents over the years. No Soviet propagandist or third-world revolutionary has more stingingly libeled the American people. . . .Michelle Malkin spares no one in her "We are all bigots now." |
