Professor Charles Kesler recently wrote about Barack Obama's political philosophy in The Claremont Review of Books. I blogged about it here. It's been making the rounds.
I have the good fortune of taking Liberalism & Conservatism with Professor Kesler and am looking forward to his planned conversation with Bill Bennett. Currently, we are reading about Woodrow Wilson in his own words. The book is anthologized by none other than Ronald J. Pestritto, a CMC alum and professor at Hillsdale College.
Until then, listen to Kesler expound upon his points in this podcast with Peter W. Schramm of the Ashbrook Center. With podcasts, you have no commercials!

Kesler's Ashbrook Center Podcast with Peter W. Schramm
Birthday Gift to All of You: Harry Jaffa Speaking About The Declaration of Independence
Today is my birthday. I am officially twenty years old. I'll save reflections on the numerological and supposed biological significance of being twenty for another day, but suffice it to say, I like the idea of being two decades old.
Birthdays have always struck me as odd. The idea of receiving gifts for the simple act of having been born is the basic underpinning of the welfare state.
Of course into every life a little socialism must fall and I do thank those of you who ponded me, gave me gifts, and Facebook well wishings. (Thank goodness for pre-programmed email reminders of birthdays!)
As corny as it may sound, I'd like to give a gift to all of you. It's something that I have been meeting to post for quite some time so you'll have to forgive the belated gift. It couldn't wait any longer.
To what am I referring? Why to Harry V. Jaffa's interview with Hugh Hewitt on the Declaration of Independence!
Here's part 1 and here is part 2. Please listen to them and let me know what you think!
