Georgia Governor Caves to Big Business, Vetoes Religious Freedom
03.29.16
Georgia’s Republican Governor Nathan Deal has caved to pressure from big business and special interests and vetoed a very modest religious liberty bill.

Is Obama’s Stance on Religious Liberty Credible?
02.10.16
I have tried to make sense of Mr. Obama's latest utterance about religious freedom. I am having a difficult celebrating his rhetoric. Somehow the President's recent words to the Islamic community in Baltimore about his regard for the religious freedoms of Americans fail to persuade and fall heavily upon the ear with a resounding lack of authenticity. His words of praise for religious freedom are again weighed down with multiple contradictions...
