On Gun Control:
Don't rewrite the meaning of the Second Amendment
There is no doubt about where the staff writer for National Review stands on a host of issues central to the heart of the conservative wing of the Republican Party. On the 'potential confiscation of weapons':
"The next Supreme Court justice will hold the balance of power in the next Second Amendment case, a case that could either reaffirm the textual, historical, and philosophical meaning of the
Second Amendment, or rewrite history and undermine a fundamental right of a free people. Any judicial ruling that rejects an individual right to keep and bear arms would permit
any future liberal majorities in Congress to pass draconian gun-control bills, including potential confiscation of weapons."--April 13

On Families & Children:
Pornography corrodes values that sustain family life
On Internet pornography:- "Porn makes men pathetic. Its true toll isn't the loss of 'virility,' but the corrosion of values that sustain family life. A generation of young men are now experiencing the high cost of low character."--April 7
- "This is the era of sexual liberty--the marriage of hedonism to meaning--and the establishment of a new civic religion. The black-robed priesthood has spoken. Will the church bow before their new masters?"--June 26, 2015

Americans 'Chill Out'"--Apr. 11
- "This is the era of sexual liberty--the marriage of hedonism to meaning--and the establishment of a new civic religion. The black-robed priesthood has spoken. Will the church bow before their new masters?"--June 26, 201

On War & Peace:
Engage jihadists and roll back ISIS's most dramatic gains
There is no doubt about where the staff writer for National Review stands on a host of issues central to the heart of the conservative wing of the Republican Party. On Middle East troops- "Make no mistake,
I'm pleased that we're engaging jihadists and at least making plans to roll back ISIS's most dramatic gains, but by continuing to minimize the threat even as he escalates his military response, he is leaving the
American people unprepared for the long struggle to come and leaving his successor to fight the truly big battles. Obama isn't the peace president. He's the man who squandered victory in Iraq &left a legacy of broader conflict & greater human misery.
Hope and change indeed."--May 13
- "The next president will face extraordinary national security challenges. Too bad neither major-party nominee appears up for the job."--May 6
