9/11 Services Show Liberal Politicizing of Memorials

By |2011-09-09T14:50:31-04:00September 9th, 2011|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published September 8, 2011 on The Washington Examiner website.

In addition to Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s barring clergy and prayer from the 10-year 9/11 memorial service in New York, another sad incident is playing out in our nation’s capital. Religious leaders representing half of the American people are being excluded from a memorial service originally scheduled for the National Cathedral.

The National Cathedral is a familiar sight to those who live around Washington. This massive structure sits atop a ridge in northwestern D.C. Its beautiful architecture is visible for miles on the Virginia side of the […]

The Equality of Reaganomics, and Fallacious Leftist Dissent

By |2011-09-09T14:23:43-04:00September 9th, 2011|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published September 9, 2011 on Forbes.com.

For the last two weeks, we have discussed the broad prosperity throughout society produced by Reaganomics and the resulting 25 year economic boom that started in 1982. We have shown how that has been obscured by changing demographics, cultural factors, work patterns, and some basic, fundamental misunderstandings regarding the true statistics themselves. But today we are going to discuss the most important intellectual blunder of all regarding analysis of economic inequalities during the Reaganomics […]

Packing Heat

By |2011-09-07T10:31:18-04:00September 7th, 2011|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published September 7, 2011 on The American Spectator website.

The theory that human activity is causing potentially catastrophic global warming is not science. It is politics, driven by special interests with ideological, political and economic stakes in the theory.

For environmentalists, global warming corresponds with the authoritarian goal at the core of their movement: repeal of the industrial revolution (which President Obama’s EPA has begun to implement). For governments, it presents an opportunity to vastly expand their power and control through taxes, regulation and bureaucracy.

Blacks and Politics

By |2020-04-23T21:57:11-04:00September 7th, 2011|

This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published September 7, 2011 on Townhall.com.

At one of last month’s Congressional Black Caucus-sponsored “job fairs,” Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., told the audience: “This is the effort that we’re seeing of Jim Crow. Some of these folks in Congress right now would love to see us as second-class citizens. Some of them in Congress right now with this tea party movement would love to see you and me — I’m sorry, Tamron — hanging on a tree.” Carson’s reference to Tamron was acknowledgment of the presence […]

Can Perry Summon Courage of True Convictions?

By |2011-09-06T22:14:48-04:00September 6th, 2011|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published September 5, 2011 in The Washington Times.

The modern-day faith in science makes the most fanatical fundamentalist look indifferent by comparison. Ever since Charles Darwin proposed his theory of macroevolution, which even he admitted had scant evidence to support it, the intelligentsia have pushed science as the Final Decider of All Things. If you think this is harmless, see how Alfred C. Kinsey’s cooked surveys on sex in the 1940s helped launch and justify the still-disastrous sexual revolution. And look at how junk science is littering Supreme Court opinions.

The thing […]

Growing Proof of Obama's Imperial Presidency

By |2020-04-23T21:52:51-04:00September 6th, 2011|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Ken Blackwell and ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published September 6, 2011 on Townhall.com.

President Barack Obama’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is on a job-killing rampage. It’s claiming unprecedented powers far beyond what federal law allows. Taken with Obama’s other agencies, these executive actions paint a picture of what has become an imperial presidency.

A federal appeal is certain once NLRB’s shocking attack on Boeing Co. goes through the administrative process. In a free-market society, government bureaucrats cannot dictate to a private company where they can and cannot open factories or create […]

What Did Napolitano Know about Fast and Furious?

By |2011-09-01T21:04:04-04:00September 1st, 2011|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published August 31, 2011 on The Washington Examiner website.

Heads seem to be rolling from the deadly Operation Fast and Furious gun scandal that is revealing the Obama administration to be as anti-gun as the National Rifle Association has always said.

Fast and Furious is the program initiated two years ago by officials within the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to allow more than 2,000 firearms to be sold by U.S. gun dealers to suppliers known to be working for Mexican drug cartels.

The idea was the guns would later show […]

More on the Certain Equality of Reaganomics

By |2011-09-01T20:36:20-04:00September 1st, 2011|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published August 31, 2011 on Forbes.com.

Last week we discussed the broad prosperity throughout society produced by Reaganomics and the resulting 25 year economic boom that started in 1982. We showed how that has been obscured by changing demographics and cultural factors, and how the resulting pattern of incomes closely reflected productivity and the productive performance of different workers.

For many people, this is essentially a religious issue. They are devoted to what they want to believe based on […]

Now Obama's NLRB Tells a Church School it's Not Religious Enough

By |2020-04-23T21:57:11-04:00August 30th, 2011|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published August 29, 2011 on The Washington Examiner website.

It’s not enough for President Obama’s National Labor Relations Board to target the Boeing plant in South Carolina. Now the NLRB thinks it can tell a church school when it’s not religious enough.

Most people have heard by now of NLRB’s unprecedented decree that Boeing Co. cannot build a new airline production facility in South Carolina.

But Obama’s NLRB is also claiming the authority to dictate labor policies and order union elections at Catholic universities if they are not religious enough.

St. Xavier University […]

Obama's War on the Secret Ballot

By |2020-04-23T21:58:20-04:00August 29th, 2011|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Ken Blackwell and Clint Bolick of the Goldwater Institute was published August 28, 2011 on The Huffington Post.

The Obama Administration has fired its opening salvo against a cornerstone of democracy: the right to secret ballot.

Last fall, voters in four states voted overwhelmingly to amend their constitutions protect the right of workers to vote by secret ballot in deciding whether or not to form unions. That right has been enshrined in federal law for 75 years but is threatened by bills pending in Congress.

Nonetheless, the Obama National Labor Relations Board has filed […]
