New York Times: Throw Off Bondage of "Evil" Constitution

By |2020-04-23T21:57:07-04:00January 2nd, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published on January 1, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

The biggest liberal newspaper in the country has printed a column from a top progressive scholar calling on the American people to ignore the Constitution with its “evil provisions,” revealing the far-left agenda for what it is and making sense of several major actions of the Obama administration.

Those who love liberty and our Constitution need to speak up and be heard. The Constitution is the cornerstone of the United States of America as a nation. It holds us together, gives us our national […]

Federal Appeals Court Sides with Religious Liberty on HHS Mandate

By |2020-04-23T21:52:46-04:00January 1st, 2013|

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

Just last week Breitbart News reported on the threat to religious liberty from the HHS Mandate: starting today, Hobby Lobby is subject to penalties of $1.3 million per day for its owners refusing to violate their Christian beliefs after a federal appeals court and Justice Sonia Sotomayor declined to grant emergency relief.

Now another federal appeals court has gone the other way, siding with religious liberty and setting the stage for a Supreme Court showdown.

Hobby Lobby Defies Obama Administration with Civil Disobedience for Religious Liberty

By |2023-03-10T08:04:44-05:00December 30th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published on December 28, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

“We must obey God rather than men!”–Acts 5:29.

Now that Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has denied Hobby Lobby’s application for an emergency injunction protecting them from Obamacare’s HHS Mandate on abortion and birth control, Hobby Lobby has decided to defy the federal government to remain true to their religious beliefs, at enormous risk and financial cost.

Hobby Lobby is wholly owned and controlled by the Green family, who are evangelical Christians. The Greens are committed to running their business in accordance with […]

"Assault Weapon" Is Just a PR Stunt Meant to Fool the Gullible

By |2020-04-23T21:54:00-04:00December 30th, 2012|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published December 28, 2012 on Forbes.com.

Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) has announced that she will be introducing legislation to reenact the ban on so-called assault weapons that she authored in 1994. The evidence is in on the effect of her previous assault weapons ban: zero, zilch, nada, as the saying goes. The ban made no perceptible difference in the gun violence statistics when it went into effect, and no perceptible difference when it was allowed to expire 10 years later, in 2003.

Justice Sotomayor Denies Hobby Lobby Request on HHS Mandate

By |2020-04-23T21:52:46-04:00December 27th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published on December 27, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has denied Hobby Lobby’s emergency application to be exempted from the HHS Mandate on abortion services, but that should not be considered a sign that the HHS Mandate will survive its legal challenges in the end.

The war on religious liberty continues. Despite repeated promises from President Barack Obama and his allies that they would not use Obamacare to force people to violate their religious beliefs regarding abortion, Obama handpicked an abortion-hardliner as secretary of the U.S. Department of […]

Is President Obama Really A Socialist? Let's Analyze Obamanomics

By |2012-12-26T10:46:35-05:00December 26th, 2012|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published December 20, 2012 on Forbes.com.

President Obama says that income taxes must be raised on the rich because they don’t pay their fair share. The indisputable facts from official government sources say otherwise.

The CBO reports based on official IRS data that in 2009 the top 1% of income earners paid 39% of all federal income taxes, three times their share of income at 13%. Yet, the middle 20% of income earners, the true middle class, paid just […]

Charity on the Chopping Block

By |2012-12-26T10:00:59-05:00December 26th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published December 22, 2012 on The Washington Times website.

With the “fiscal cliff” looming, Washington is looking under every rock for new forms of “revenue.”

Nothing appears sacred, not even mortgage and charitable deductions, which some are recasting as “loopholes.” Ending the mortgage deduction when the housing market is finally showing signs of recovery would be like giving a cancer patient strychnine to make him feel better.

Even worse would be ending the charitable deduction, for the simple reason that this deduction encourages private-sector benevolence, which the federal government under President […]

A Hundred Percent of Nothing

By |2012-12-20T15:19:22-05:00December 20th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published December 19, 2012 on Townhall.com.

JoAnn Watson, Detroit city council member, said, “Our people in an overwhelming way supported the re-election of this president, and there ought to be a quid pro quo.” In other words, President Obama should send the nearly bankrupted city of Detroit millions in taxpayer bailout money. But there’s a painful lesson to be learned from decades of political hustling and counsel by intellectuals and urban experts.

In 1960, Detroit’s population was 1.6 million. Blacks were 29 percent, and whites […]

Fewer Guns, More Crime

By |2012-12-20T13:15:43-05:00December 20th, 2012|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published December 19, 2012 on The American Spectator website.

To President Obama, the word “politics” means anyone who disagrees with him, as in the phrase “It is time to put politics aside.” Whenever he says that, he is really saying “It is time to put aside anyone who disagrees with me on this issue.”

Our hearts are all still hurting over the mass shooting and murder of 20 innocent small children at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. But it was in the […]

Conservatives Denounce Voting for Boehner's Plan B

By |2012-12-20T09:05:43-05:00December 20th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published on December 19, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

Prominent conservative leaders, including former attorney general Edwin Meese III, Ken Blackwell of the Conservative Action Project, Brent Bozell of ForAmerica, Colin Hanna of Let Freedom Ring, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, David Bossie of Citizens United, Gary Bauer of American Values, Jim Backlin of the Christian Coalition of America, Richard Viguerie of ConservativeHQ.com, Al Regnery of the Paul Revere Project, and Andy Roth of the Club for Growth, among a myriad of others, scheduled a press conference this afternoon to denounce Speaker […]
