Race and class and politics
Sheila Liaugminas | 2 Mar 2012
I could write an extemporaenous dissertation on the political race and the human race, class acts and class warfare, and the politicization of everything including morals and the natural law and constitutional liberties never before threatened by government. But I won’t.

The bogus birth control controversy
Sheila Liaugminas | 28 Feb 2012
President Obama’s mandate requiring free access to contraception with virtually no employer exemption is at core a consitutional threat to religious liberty, not a heated debate about contraception and Church teaching. However, it quickly turned into that.

Obama mandate's resistance coalition
Sheila Liaugminas | 26 Feb 2012
The president may have been surprised by the unusual and overwhelming unity among Catholic Americans after he issued an unprecedented threat to religious liberty most directly aimed at Catholic institutions.

Sheila Liaugminas | 21 Feb 2012
Was the online boycott of cybersecurity legislation an act of democracy or hyperbolic overreaction?

Obama and the Catholic divide
Sheila Liaugminas | 17 Feb 2012
He won the presidency by capturing slightly over half of the Catholic vote. He probably can’t count on that in the next election.

Why mandate birth control?
Sheila Liaugminas | 15 Feb 2012
The national firestorm over the HHS contraceptive mandate and conscience rights, President Obama’s ‘war on the church’ and constitutionally protected religious liberty is a confrontation necessitated by unprecedented government action. But all that fire is distracting us from the spark of ignition: Why did the federal government mandate health insurers to cover contraception, sterilization and the morning after pill in the first place?

Obama response to church unacceptable
Sheila Liaugminas | 12 Feb 2012
Misinformation abounds in the media about President Obama’s alleged ”accommodation” for religious liberty in his administration’s hardline HHS mandate.
