COMMENTARY AND OP-EDS
The Incompatibility of Sharia Law with the U.S. Constitution
Texas is voting to ban Sharia law — and for good reason. When apostasy, simply leaving Islam, is a capital crime in over a dozen countries, there is no compatibility with our First Amendment. Just ask Nissar Hussain, a British Pakistani man condemned to death by a Sharia court for converting to Christianity. His warning to America is one we cannot afford to ignore.
Marxist Leftists, the Threat to Our Democracy
America is a Constitutional Republic, not a pure democracy — and the progressive left's push for the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, opposition to the SAVE Act, and efforts to undermine electoral integrity prove they are the real threat to our democratic processes. With Virginia on the verge of becoming the 18th NPVIC state, the stakes for the 2026 midterms couldn't be higher.
One Thing Leads to Another
The basic purpose of the SAVE Act is to require individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. Now, this sounds just simple, easily comprehensible, and agreeable, right?
The Real Purveyors of Jim Crow
During Black History Month, ACRU Executive Director Allen West reflects on being born in a segregated Atlanta hospital in 1961 and uses that personal history to challenge modern claims that voter ID laws resemble Jim Crow. Tracing the arc from Black Codes and segregation to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the political narrative surrounding race and voting rights has been reshaped over time.
The Second Amendment Doesn’t Have an Asterisk
FBI Director Kash Patel’s recent comments about firearms at protests sparked a needed reminder: the Bill of Rights isn’t a buffet. Carrying a firearm at a peaceful protest remains constitutionally protected, while criminal behavior, like interfering with law enforcement, brings its own legal consequences. The danger lies in blurring that line. When officials imply that lawful carry equals a threat, they unintentionally hand ammunition to those eager to chip away at constitutional rights.
Freedom of Religion…for Who?
The very first freedom, liberty, in our individual Bill of Rights is the freedom of religion and the free exercise thereof. So, with this backdrop, I found it quite interesting, hypocritical, earlier this week on Monday, that four Muslim women in hijabs were passing out Qurans and hijabs at Wylie East HS in Wylie, Texas.
Stop Calling Them Democrats
America was founded on individual liberty, not collectivist control, but 250 years later, that core principle is under direct assault. From dismissing rugged individualism to embracing Marxist ideology, today’s political left no longer even pretends to align with the ideals of the Declaration of Independence.
A Challenge of Constitutional Will
From encrypted coordination to open obstruction of federal law enforcement, events in Minneapolis fit the textbook definition of an insurgency. Calling it anything else requires abandoning both legal definitions and intellectual honesty.
Why Are There Black Marxist Leftists?
So, as we enter Black History Month 2026, the year of our 250th independence anniversary, why do we have Black Marxist leftists? When one objectively studies Marx and his Communist Manifesto, one will see everything that has nothing in common with American Blacks.
Breaking the Law
The preeminent role of government is to safeguard the unalienable, natural rights of the individual: life, liberty, and property. Instead of each of us going about as armed vigilantes, we submit to the government the responsibility to collectively secure and protect those rights.
The Fall of Islam
The fall of Islam will start here in Texas, and it will inspire others in America to stand, and in turn do so for the world. We begin by reading their strategic plan and understanding who they are, and taking them at their word. Islam is not looking for coexistence, so scratch them off that bumper sticker. They tell you so. Don't believe me? Ask Christians in Nigeria, the Middle East, Sudan, and globally.
Ken Blackwell: An America First Trade Policy That Works
For decades, American trade policy rested on an assumption that proved costly: that lowering barriers would naturally produce fairness, stability, and shared prosperity. Instead, the United States absorbed the downside of openness while many trading partners protected their own industries, subsidized exports, and exploited access to the American market. The result was dependency, not dividends.
Who Is Above the Law?
Politicians on the left often proclaim that “no one is above the law,” yet their actions suggest a very different standard when it comes to their own allies.
The Consequences of Leftist Lawlessness
The Marxist leftists are now up in rage and blaming the Trump administration and the ICE officers on the ground. They should stop their ranting and look in the mirror and realize that they are to blame for the death of this woman. Their leftist lawlessness is to blame.
Press Release: ACRU Backs Local Officers Working With ICE Under 287(g) to Serve and Protect
Constitutional Rights Organization supports Minnesota law enforcement as they uphold their oath to serve and protect through a formal partnership with Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s 287(g) program
LTC Allen West Visits Will Cain Show to Comment on Constitutional Military Actions
ACRU Executive Director Allen West visits the Will Cain Show to set the record straight on constitutional military actions. In politics, depending on who is in charge, the same actions just might be deemed constitutional or unconstitutional, depending on one's political opinions. Colonel West points out several recent examples of political hypocrisy to make the point.
Constitutional Hypocrisy
The military operation into Venezuela was indeed moral, just, and constitutional. Under Article II powers of the Constitution, the President, as Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces, is charged with the protection of our Country.
What do Democrats Prioritize?
As we enter into 2026, the year that will welcome America's 250th celebration of Independence, and a critical midterm election, there is a simple question. What do Democrats prioritize?
Why America has the Second Amendment
19 April 1775. On that day, there was no American Army, Navy, or Marine Corps; matter of fact, there was no America. However, there was an understanding that armed individuals could be free citizens who attain liberty; disarmed individuals can only be subjects.
America’s 21st Century National Security Strategy
"A Nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious, but it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through the alleys, and heard in the very halls of government itself."
