		<title>The Church &amp; Obama&#8217;s &quot;Transformative&quot; Rules</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Daniel Henninger, WSJ Pope John Paul II, surveying from his seat in the eternal hereafter the battle between the American Catholic Church and the Obama administration over mandated contraception services, must be permitting himself a sad smile. The pope knew more than most about the innate tensions between the state and its citizens.The Obamaites will object that it is unfair to liken their government to the Communist Party of Poland. That is not the point. What the former Karol Wojtyla knew is that any state will claim benevolence on behalf of doing whatever it thinks it needs to do in pursuit of its goals.]]></description>

		<title>Republicans Need More Than Rhetoric on Defense</title>
		<description><![CDATA[George Will, Wash Post Through 11 presidential elections, beginning with the Democrats&#38;rsquo; nomination of George McGovern in 1972, Republicans have enjoyed a presumption of superiority regarding national security. This year, however, events and their rhetoric are dissipating their advantage.Hours &#38;mdash; not months, not weeks, hours &#38;mdash; after the last U.S. troops left Iraq, vicious political factionalism and sectarian violence intensified. Many Republicans say Barack Obama&#38;rsquo;s withdrawal &#38;mdash; accompanied by his administration&#38;rsquo;s foolish praise of Iraq&#38;rsquo;s...]]></description>

		<title>Clint, Rick and the Limits of Pessimism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[E.J. Dionne, The New Republic WASHINGTON -- What do Rick Santorum and Clint Eastwood have in common?Sorry Rick, you haven&apos;t made it yet as an Eastwood-style make-my-day cultural icon. But in different ways, Santorum and Eastwood have demonstrated the limits of both an entirely negative slant on politics and a pessimistic take on America&apos;s future.Santorum&apos;s Tuesday sweep of Republican presidential contests in Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado was a sharp rebuke to Mitt Romney, the on-again, off-again &#34;inevitable&#34; GOP nominee who has built his campaign almost entirely on attacks. His primary target...]]></description>

		<title>The Anti-Romney Vote</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thomas Sowell, Investor's Business Daily A funny thing happened to Mitt Romney on the way to his coronation as the inevitable Republican candidate for President of the United States. Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado happened. Rick Santorum beat him in all three states on the same day -- and beat him by huge margins in two of those states, as well as upsetting him in Colorado, where the Mormon vote was expected to give Romney a victory.The Republican establishment, which has lined up heavily behind Romney, has tried to depict him as the &#34;electable,&#34; if not invincible, candidate in the general election this November. But it...]]></description>

		<title>Tales From the Kitchen Table</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gail Collins, New York Times This is a really old story, but let me tell you anyway. When I was first married, my mother-in-law sat down at her kitchen table and told me about the day she went to confession and told the priest that she and her husband were using birth control. She had several young children, times were difficult &#38;mdash; really, she could have produced a list of reasons longer than your arm.&#38;ldquo;You&#38;rsquo;re no better than a whore on the street,&#38;rdquo; said the priest.]]></description>

		<title>TSA to Loosen the Rules for Flyers Willing to Overshare</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ The TSA is going to make going through airport security checkpoints a bit breezier, but only for flyers willing to be pre-screened, and then only those on certain flights on certain airlines. Yeah, airport security is still complicated. [ more › ] ]]></description>

		<title>Union Boss Tells Poor: &quot;Life&#8217;s Not Fair&quot;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jonathan Tobin, Commentary The hypocrisy of opponents of school choice schemes has never been a big secret. But rarely has that quality been so brazenly exhibited as by Vincent Giordano, the head of the New Jersey Education Association, in a recent interview on New Jersey public television. When asked why he opposes giving poor parents the same opportunity to take their kids out of failing public schools and into successful private or religious institutions&#38;nbsp;the wealthy have, the teachers union boss, who makes&#38;nbsp;more than&#38;nbsp;half a million in salary and other compensation, replied:...]]></description>

		<title>Facts on Keystone XL Deserve Repeating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Robert Redford, Huffington Post Joe Nocera&apos;s op-ed in the New York Times yesterday deserves a response and a reiteration of the facts surrounding the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. President Obama rejected the pipeline&apos;s permit last month when the GOP, in a political stunt, forced his hand to approve it without even the final route evident.Let&apos;s put the rhetoric aside, and simply focus on the facts. Nocera wants us to believe that approving this pipeline is a matter of national security. He also seems to think that we should all be kicking ourselves because the Canadians are flaunting a tar sands sale trip...]]></description>

		<title>The Coming Israel-Iran Confrontation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jack David, National Review Events are conspiring to precipitate a cataclysmic confrontation with Iran. Time has nearly expired for international sanctions &#38;mdash; even the so-called tough and crippling ones &#38;mdash; to keep Iran from acquiring deliverable nuclear weapons. The U.S. soon will not be able to avoid making a choice: Will it meet the challenge of the coming confrontation or shrink from it? Either way, there will be consequences for U.S. interests abroad and at home.&#38;nbsp;]]></description>
