Honest Examination of Race

One definition given for insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results; it might also be a definition of stupidity. Let’s look at some cities where large percentages of black Americans live under poor conditions.

Experiencing a violent crime rate of 2,137 per 100,000 of the population, Detroit is the nation’s most dangerous city. Rounding out Forbes magazine’s 2012 list of the 10 most dangerous cities are St Louis; Oakland, Calif.; Memphis, Tenn.; […]

Pentagon Began Relationship with Anti-Religious Extremist in 2009

By |2013-05-08T13:14:23-04:00May 8th, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published May 7, 2013 on Breitbart.com.

The Obama-Hagel Pentagon is trying to minimize Breitbart News‘ blockbuster story last week of top brass meeting with anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein, who we reported calls Christians “monsters” imposing a “rapacious reign of theocratic terror” and says sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in the military is an act of “sedition and treason” that must be punished.

The Pentagon sent out an email suggesting the Apr. 23 meeting with Weinstein in the Pentagon was a one-time event, saying only, “Weinstein requested, and was granted, a […]

Overreaching Internet Sales Tax Is Obama's Calculated Deception Of Gullible Voters

By |2013-05-06T11:53:52-04:00May 6th, 2013|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published May 2, 2013 on Forbes.com.

During the 2008 campaign, when candidate Obama was seeking our votes, he pledged in Dover, New Hampshire on Sept. 12, 2008:

“I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.”

During a nationally televised Vice-Presidential debate in St. Louis on Oct. […]

Hagel's Pentagon Defends Unconstitutional Policy against Soldiers Sharing Faith

By |2020-04-23T21:52:44-04:00May 3rd, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published May 3, 2013 on Breitbart.com.

Pentagon personnel responded to Breitbart News‘ report about court-martialing service members who share their faith in the military, which the Pentagon confirmed on May 1, and the Air Force on May 2 separately confirmed a second time.

Now the Pentagon claims the opposite. But these new statements instead only compound the problem, as the Pentagon’s new definitions for terms squarely contradict what the dictionary says those terms mean. All this has taken place as the first flag officer in the military has stepped forward to defy the unconstitutional policy.

Liberal Suffering and Confusion

By |2013-05-03T10:16:27-04:00May 3rd, 2013|

This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published May 1, 2013 on Townhall.com.

The liberal world vision and reality are often at variance, for example, with equal pay for equal work. I’ve often watched “Lockup,” a show that features California supermax prisons, including Pelican Bay and Corcoran. Often, a recalcitrant prisoner must be extracted from his cell through brute force. I’ve never seen female guards remove a prisoner. If they are part of the process at all, it’s to videotape the extraction for legal purposes. It’s my bet that female guards receive the […]

Pentagon May Court Martial Soldiers Who Share Christian Faith

By |2013-05-02T14:40:59-04:00May 2nd, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published May 1, 2013 on Breitbart.com.

The Pentagon has released a statement confirming that soldiers could be prosecuted for promoting their faith: “Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense…Court martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis…”.

The statement, released to Fox News, follows a Breitbart News report on Obama administration Pentagon appointees meeting with anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein to develop court-martial procedures to punish Christians in the military who express or share their faith.

(From our earlier report: Weinstein is the head of the […]

ACRU Brief: EPA Jumped the Gun in CO2 Crackdown

By |2013-04-29T19:36:55-04:00April 29th, 2013|

WASHINGTON D.C. (April 29, 2013) — A lower court ignored the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) breach of federal law requiring peer review when the agency issued a finding that carbon dioxide (CO2) is a pollutant subject to federal regulation, a brief filed on April 22 by the American Civil Rights Union states.

Written by ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara in Pacific Legal Foundation v. Environmental Protection Agency, the brief asks the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case. The brief notes that peer-review is essential to determine scientific merit, and that the EPA imposed regulations without bothering to abide by the law’s […]

Holder Undercut FBI by Giving Tsarnaev Miranda Rights

By |2013-04-26T10:25:52-04:00April 26th, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published April 26, 2013 on Breitbart.com.

Updating our earlier report:

Details are emerging that when U.S. Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler read Dzhokhar Tsarnaev his Miranda rights, she went to his hospital room accompanied by a federal public defender (meaning taxpayer-funded) and an assistant U.S. attorney from the Massachusetts prosecutor’s office.

Reports say the FBI was only partway through questioning Tsarnaev to get intelligence to determine who else was involved in the plot and how broad it was. The FBI told federal lawmakers in classified briefings this week they were “stunned” […]
