Steven Riddle at Flos Carmeli is discussing Rod Dreher’s Crunchy Cons, here, here, and here.

Camassia on Christians and political protest, here and here.

In the American Conservative symposium on “right and left” that I mentioned recently, onservative writer Heather Mac Donald took issue with the allegedly widespread assumption that one has to be religious to be a political conservative. Her original piece generated a lot of discussion on National Review’s blog and elsewhere, as well as follow-up pieces from Michael Novak and Mac Donald herself.

At Siris, Brandon dissects one of Mac Donald’s anti-theistic arguments.

Of course, I’d want to dispute the assumption seemingly shared by Mac Donald and most of her interlocutors that Christians (not to mention adherents of other religions) ought logically to be political conservatives in the current American sense.
