Racial Double Standards

This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published June 20, 2012 on Townhall.com.

Back in 2009, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said we were “a nation of cowards” on matters of race. Permit me to be brave and run a few assertions by you just to see whether we’re on the same page. There should be two standards for civilized conduct: one for whites, which is higher, and another for blacks, which is lower. In other words, in the name of justice and fair play, blacks should not be held accountable to the same standards […]

Only Voters Can Hold Obama Accountable for Illegal Amnesty Policy

By |2012-06-18T10:21:15-04:00June 18th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published June 17, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

President Obama’s new amnesty policy regarding illegal aliens violates the law. But there’s probably no route to trump it either in Congress or in court, so the only recourse is for the American people to trump it by electing a new president.

Obama’s actions on granting backdoor amnesty fall into two different stages. Each is illegal for different reasons. However, occasionally situations can arise in our constitutional system where there is a “right without a remedy,” where people’s rights are being violated but there’s nothing […]

ACLU Friends Sex Offenders

By |2020-04-23T21:52:48-04:00June 15th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published June 14, 2012 on The Washington Times website.

Well, there they go again, carrying water for their army of odd men in raincoats. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Indiana is suing to strike down a state law forbidding convicted sex offenders from using social media such as Facebook.

The state argues that allowing released felons on social media opens up opportunities for them to troll for children on the Internet.

“It’s hard to come up with an example of a sexual predator who doesn’t use some form of […]

The Supreme Court and Obamacare: Eight Possible Outcomes

By |2012-06-15T08:15:17-04:00June 15th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published June 13, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

Everyone is now waiting for the U.S. Supreme Court to hand down its decision in NFIB v. Sebelius, the name of the case frequently referred to simply as “Obamacare.”

Lawyers argued four issues before the justices who will decide the fate of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and there are eight possible outcomes. Some are more likely than others, and some are more consequential than others.

In fact, one would change this country forever.

But aside from that one apocalyptic scenario, there are several outcomes […]

President Obama: The Biggest Government Spender In World History

By |2012-06-14T18:25:36-04:00June 14th, 2012|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published June 14, 2012 on Forbes.com.

The U.S. has never before had a President who thinks so little of the American people that he imagines he can win re-election running on the opposite of reality. But that is the reality of President Obama today.

Waving a planted press commentary, Obama recently claimed on the campaign stump, “federal spending since I took office has risen at the slowest pace of any President in almost 60 years.”

Peggy Noonan aptly summarized in […]

Green Welfare, Green Taxes, Green Poverty

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published June 13, 2012 on The American Spectator website.

What would you do if gangs of robbers roamed your neighborhood at night, breaking into your neighbors’ houses and stealing their family jewels and life savings? You would arm yourself, and your family members of sufficient age, to defend your property. Or you would move to a safer neighborhood.

But if the robbers formed gangs called Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, or the Natural Resources Defense Fund, and assaulted your standard of living, the Che Guevara Democrats […]

Duped by Congressional Lies

By |2012-06-13T13:55:25-04:00June 13th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published June 6, 2012 on Townhall.com.

Some of the responses to my column last week, titled “Immoral Beyond Redemption,” prove that Americans have been hoodwinked by Congress. Some readers protested my counting Social Security among government handout programs that can be described as Congress’ taking what belongs to one American and giving to another, to whom it doesn’t belong — legalized theft. They argued that they worked for 45 years and paid into Social Security and that the money they now receive is theirs. These people […]

Is the Star-Spangled Banner an 'Abomination'?

By |2012-06-12T13:35:23-04:00June 12th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Ken Blackwell was published June 12, 2012 on The Patriot Post website.

Talk show host, Bill Press, doesn’t like the Star-Spangled Banner. Imagine: a liberal talk show that’s not on NPR! His radio show is simulcast on Current TV. Bill Press likes provoking conservatives, but I’m not sure we should be provoked by his outburst against the National Anthem. Bill Press seems to be testing the old philosopher’s question: If a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one there to hear it, does it make a noise? If you say something on Current TV, […]

Obama's Pregnant 'Denials'

By |2012-06-11T00:28:50-04:00June 11th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Jan LaRue was published June 10, 2012 on The Daily Caller website.

President Obama is offended by accusations that the White House authorized leaks of highly classified national security information detailed in Confront and Conceal, a new book by David Sanger of The New York Times. Obama hasn’t denied that leaks occurred.

“The notion that my White House would purposely release classified national security information is offensive. It’s wrong,” he said during Friday’s press conference.

Media usually call it a “non-denial denial.” The law calls it a “negative pregnant”: a denial of an […]
