|
| Op-ed | The Problems with ''The Passion's'' Moral Message | Edward Hudgins | 3/3/2004 |
| Description: The controversy surrounding Mel Gibson's film ''The Passion of the Christ'' reflects a deep divide between those who are concerned about the erosion of morals that traditionally are provided by religion and those who fear that religious dogma will promote intolerance. In this op-ed, I argue that Gibson's thought provoking film ultimately delivers that wrong message concerning sin, sacrifice and suffering. Only a moral code of personal responsibility, not original sin; self-interest, not self-sacrifice; and achievement, not suffering; can avoid the dangers of moral relativism and intolerance, and ensure both personal happiness and a free society. |

| Perspectives | Art and Ideals | David Kelley | 2/1/2004 |
| Description: The earliest known paintings and musical objects are approximately thirty to forty thousand years old, a time when man's life was a struggle for survival. Yet, unlike tools, these art objects have no clear survival value. Why, then, did humans begin creating such objects at that point in time? One hypothesis points to the development of man's conceptual capacity. |
|
| Article | Fortress Americanism | Roger Donway | 2/1/2004 |
| Description: Foreign ideas—mostly European ideas—are having a growing influence on American judges, lawyers, and political theorists. In principle, there is nothing wrong with this. As a nation of immigrants, America has thrived by importing the fresh perspectives of foreigners. But when the foreign ideas influencing U.S. elites are also alien ideas—alien to the fundamental philosophy of our founding—then they bring danger. |

| Description: Communist China is experiencing a sexual revolution, and Beijing is not at all happy about it. The anti-sex motivation of the dictators in China is the same as George Orwell's Big Brother in his novel 1984: to prevent individuals from focusing on their own personal pleasure and happiness, and on forming loving, long-term relationships with another rather than devoting their time and energy to serving the political regime and "collective good." |

|
| Op-ed | France's Killer Collectivism | Edward Hudgins | 9/15/2003 |
| Description: The 15,000 deaths of mostly senior citizens in France this summer cannot be blamed merely on the hot weather. Rather, France’s culture and public policies erode personal responsibility. As a result, many sons and daughters in France left elderly parents in un-air-conditioned apartments as they went off for their August vacations. Americans should take a lesson from France’s failings and reject the policies and ethos of irresponsibility. |

It also is a scathing attack on art community elites, who reject all standards and thus hate LaBute’s movie, which exposes them for what they are |
|
| Op-ed | What If There Were No America? | Edward Hudgins | 6/28/2003 |
| Description: On July 4th we celebrate the founding of the United States, the freest, richest country on Earth. To appreciate this country we can reflect upon what the world would be like if America had lost the Revolution, if there were no America. In this piece I argue that without idea of liberty articulated in the Declaration of Independence, there would be no land of opportunity, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, created by immigrants who came here to live free and prosper, no refuge for the oppressed, and no military giant to oppose tyrannies. Fortunately, this land of liberty was established, and we each strengthen and renew it when we make the most of our freedom and respect the freedom of others. Fortunately, there is an America. |

| Op-ed | Creating Our Own Blessings | Edward Hudgins | 11/26/2002 |

|
| Commentary | The Importance of Blacklisting | Roger Donway | 8/30/2002 |
| Description: Objectivism distinguishes between errors of ignorance and errors of morality, and between immorality and crime. As a result, Objectivists exercise moral toleration toward those whose ideas are innocently mistaken and political toleration toward those who immoralities are non-coercive. But the virtue of showing moral and political toleration does not mean Objectivists can employ nothing but arguments to weaken the forces that are destroying Enlightenment culture. |
|
| Article | You Will Volunteer! | Edward Hudgins | 6/30/2002 |
| Description: President Bush's USA Freedom Corps is supposed to be the vehicle by which every American devotes two years of his life "to the service of your neighbors and your nation." Remarkably, the administration's arguments for this program are based on philosophy, not pragmatism. Regrettably, the philosophy behind the program is the enemy of individualism, self-responsibility, liberty, and even benevolence. |

| Article | Beyond Good and Bad | Roger Donway | 2/28/2002 |
| Description: The virtue of selfishness has become a tough sell. National honors are being bestowed on firefighters who died by the hundreds trying to save strangers; on young americans killed while protecting their country; and on airline passengers who heedlessly threw themselves on would-be hijackers.
