House Republicans Prove Effective At Restraining Runaway Democrat Spending

House Republicans are proving effective in restraining the runaway federal spending desired by President Obama and Congressional Democrats. That does not remotely mean that the House Republican majority has solved Washington’s spending, deficit and debt problems. But while they looked helpless at the turn of the year when Obama and the Democrats rolled over them in enacting Obama/Democrat tax increases on capital investment, official federal government budget numbers show that the House Republican majority […]

Congress Must Tell Pentagon to Protect Troops' First Amendment Rights

The Pentagon has now fully reversed its previous declarations and is now claiming it has no policy either way on whether proselytizing is allowed in the military. Given the contradictory statements on this issue and other instances of disallowing Christian expression in the military (including an Air Force ban on sharing the gospel), it’s imperative Congress permanently secure enduring protections for those serving in the armed forces.

Last week, Breitbart News broke the story that Pentagon officials held a meeting on Apr. 23, 2013, with […]

Benghazi's Media Maze

By |2013-05-13T23:05:29-04:00May 13th, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published May 13, 2013 on The Washington Times website.

You just knew press coverage of the congressional hearing on the Benghazi cover-ups last Wednesday would be nonexistent or squirrely, right?

It was mostly the latter, so break out the nuts.

After the hearing, an ABC radio segment utterly ignored the content. Three State Department whistleblowers had exposed alarming contradictions in the official White House account, but ABC News led with a clip of Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, Maryland Democrat, who said the hearing was politically motivated, followed by a GOP spokesman […]

Obama's Rising Inequality

By |2013-05-09T10:25:13-04:00May 9th, 2013|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published May 8, 2013 on The American Spectator website.

The day after his second inauguration, the New York Times and the Washington Post blared about Obama’s speech heralding a new vision and agenda for equality in America. But apparently the Left is happy with just words.

Official U.S. government data shows that inequality is rising sharply under President Obama. It was stable under Bush. But Obamanomics has brought back exactly the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

Obama proclaimed in that second […]

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 […]
