I love my family, America, the Constitution, the free market, classic literature, great coffee, handbags, tall boots, and cool gadgets.
I deeply admire Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Milton Friedman, CS Lewis, and Thomas Sowell.

You can expect me to post about these topics as well as anything else I think is interesting.

"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ~ CS Lewis

President Obama announced his “accommodation” for religious employers. He now says religious medical facilities, schools, and charities are still required to provide health insurance policies that include contraception, sterilization, and abortifacients but that health insurance companies will pick up the cost of those services. 

The guy just doesn’t get it. It’s not the money; it’s not the contraception; it’s the Constitution! Barack Obama actually thinks he is in within his rights to force religious employers to help their employees engage in activities that violate that employers’ faith doctrines. For Pete’s sake, does the man understand the concept of the “free exercise” of anything? 

Elizabeth Scalia is rounding up reaction to Obama’s “accommodation.”
