04/23/2013A Prophet Has Fallen: Howard Phillips
It was another Monday morning, and Howard Phillips – who died April 20 – sat at my White House desk once more, his eyes afire with the inferno of a Hebrew prophet.

Immigration and the 'Whatever' State
"To what does one assimilate in modern America?" That question was posed by Nathan Glazer and Daniel Patrick Moynihan in their 1963 book, Beyond the Melting Pot. It still is the most important but most neglected issue in the immigration policy debate.

What's Ringing the Robs' Bell: When Love Might Not Win (Part 2)
"Love wins" – but does it always? Are there situations when "love" might even cause people to "lose"? Will the Supreme Court become the grand arbiter of what love is even as it became the definer of what a human life is and when it begins? As the Supremes deliberate on the nature of marriage, will they be the new Moses descending the mountain with freshly chiseled tablets of revised law to be universal in defining marriage?

What's Ringing the Robs' 'Bell'? (Part 1)
The "Robsy twins" have become the latest advocates of same-sex marriage. One of these ideological mates is Rob Bell, a communicator with admirable skills. The other Robsy twin is Senator Rob Portman, Ohio Republican, friend of small businesses, crusader against unfunded government mandates, would-be IRS reformer, and supporter of the Defense of Marriage Act. Until recently – on the marriage issue, at least.

St. Patrick's Day: The Legacy of Church Planting and Scholars
In keeping with the heritage passed down through my grandmother, Belle O'Brien, and her daughter, my mother, who airbrushed me to sleep with the gentle tones of Celtic lullaby, and all the Hanleys and O'Hanley's of County Roscommon, and the McGaheys of the Northern Counties, I must pause to speak of things Irish.

Colorado, Washington State, Marijuana, and the Henley Theorem
The Henley Theorem: The absence of law begets law, and law always sires more law. Colorado is now proving the case, as will Washington State, whose legislatures are busy trying to figure out how to regulate what has been deregulated, namely recreational use of marijuana.

Marco Rubio, Wolf Blitzer, Ben Carson, Lady Gaga and the Scripted Culture
Senator Rubio departed from the script. That's simply not done. Speaking of unscripted moments at lofty tables brings to mind Dr. Ben Carson's "uh-oh" speech at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington ten days before. He blasted political correctness in front of the nation's sternest protectors of the socio-cultural script.

Five Stages of Leadership – Hope (Part 5)
The scrubby, pock-faced island once was an asylum for the insane. In another era, lepers tried to hack out survival on the gritty land 12 miles off Cape Town's coast. Then Robben Island became a prison, the "Alcatraz" of South Africa some would call it. Nelson Mandela may not have used that label, though he spent 18 of his 27-year incarceration there.

Five Stages of Leadership – Honing (Part 4)
His voice is raspy as a film noir mob boss, its message erudite as a polished scholar, and dynamism zesty as one of those TV product-pitchers who can persuade you to dial immediately for a combination carrot-dicer and log-splitter.

Five Stages of Leadership – Humiliation (Part 2)

Five Stages of Leadership – Hubris (Part 1)
And now, after the hand-wringing, the nail-biting, the promises and platitudes of the autumn election, we are in the winter of hubris. Hubris is the embrace of the seducer's line first uttered in Eden as the adversary tempted Eve to chomp down on the forbidden fruit.
