Watching Attorney General Eric Holder as he testified recently before the House Judiciary Committee was a disheartening experience. Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX) tried repeatedly to get the general to acknowledge that “radical Islam” was a motivation for three of the recent attacks on the homeland—Nidal Hasan’s murderous Fort Hood attack, and the failed attempts of Abdulmutallab and Shahzad in Detroit and New York, respectively. The administration has said again and again that these were “isolated” individuals, only to be contradicted when the facts came out. Could radical Islam have […]

Social Security, Medicare and the retirement of the baby boom generation wasn’t enough of a burden for the American taxpayer. We will now be paying as well for the generous pensions of Greek bureaucrats retiring in the warm Mediterranean sun at age 55, thanks to the foresighted leadership of our very own international statesman, Barack Obama.

Just last year President Obama proposed, and his overwhelmingly Democrat Congress approved, an additional $100 billion line of credit from the USA to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). On Sunday, the […]

President Obama has a plan to radically change what makes America great and Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski are exposing it in their new book. They provide an in-depth look past President Obama’s “hope and change” mantra, and into his plans to replace the Framers’ vision for the United States with a system of quasi-socialism, anti-sovereign globalism, and militant secularism. Blackwell and Klukowski discuss a wide range of timely, hot-button topics, including:

Healthcare…how key parts of “Obamacare” violate the Constitution, including the “individual mandate” to purchase health insurance and state-based insurance exchanges

The Economy…how, through various bailouts, Obama has converted the government stake in major […]

There they were, at the wall under the Parthenon on May 4, unfurling their giant banners urging “Peoples of Europe—Rise Up.” The banners were emblazoned with a red-colored communist hammer and sickle.

This was obviously not an appeal to the goddess Athena, for whom the temple was built from 447 to 432 BC. The location, however, was fitting, since they were standing beneath one of the most famous ruins in the world. After years of socialist policies, Greece is in economic ruins and is threatening to bring down the European […]

The oil spill off the coast of Louisiana is an environmental tragedy that endangers the prosperity of coastal businesses that thrive on the natural environment, such as fishing and tourism. It is not a reason to permanently deny America the jobs and prosperity that come from a vibrant energy industry producing much needed, reliable, low cost energy from all sources. That would be a far bigger tragedy, even graver than the oil spill.

A robust, booming, American energy industry would itself contribute directly to a booming American […]

In a very narrow ruling, the World War I memorial shaped like a Latin cross will continue to stand in the Mojave desert. But this was not the victory that conservatives hoped for, and serves as a reminder that the current Supreme Court is a moderate one.

On Wednesday, April 28, the Supreme Court handed down its long-awaited decision in Salazar v. Buono concerning the Mojave cross. A white cross stands atop Sunrise Rock, erected by the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) in 1934, with a plaque dedicating it […]
