First Things: Natural Rights Trump Obamacare, or Should by Hadley Arkes

Only the natural law can explain the deep wrongs of the recent health-care bill.

Russell Kirk:

Justice means that every man and every woman have the right to what is their own—to the things best suited to their own nature, to the rewards of their ability and integrity, to their property and their personality. Civilized society requires that all men and women have equal rights before the law, but that equality should not extend to equality of condition: that is, society is a great partnership, in which all have equal rights—but not to equal things. The just society requires sound leadership, different rewards for different abilities, and a sense of respect and duty.
