THE DAILY BLADE: When A Patient's Rights Stop Where A Healthcare Provider's Rights Begin

By |2023-05-20T09:41:33-04:00July 12th, 2007|

The ACRU and former attorney general and ACRU Policy Board member Ed Meese are cited in a July 11 article at the Daily Blade: “When A Patient’s Rights Stop Where A Healthcare Provider’s Rights Begin.”

One correction though, as this is the second time a newspaper has gotten this wrong: The ACRU is not proposing a “compromise” solution; we are simply defending the right of the defendant and citing the facts of what she did do. She actually was much more accommodating to the would-be patient than she needed to be.

Ken Blackwell: The Supreme Court Giveth, the Supreme Court Taketh Away

By |2023-05-20T09:41:35-04:00July 7th, 2007|

The Supreme Court teeters on a knife's edge regarding lawsuits against faith expression in the public square. So, conservatives better redouble their efforts to restore a court faithful to our Founders' vision, or lose all that has been gained in recent decisions after the 2008 presidential sweepstakes.

“A New Jersey school’s decision to allow Christian students to enjoy the same free speech rights as other students could be the beginning of a nationwide trend to protect students’ rights. Northern Highlands Regional High School had blocked a Christian club from participating in the Day of Truth, a day for Christian students to express their views on homosexuality, but backed down after being contacted by the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF)…”

Jefferson and Madison Reminisce on the Meaning of the Declaration of Independence

By |2023-05-20T09:41:37-04:00July 4th, 2007|

Thomas Jefferson, letter to Samuel Adams Wells, May 12, 1821:

The Declaration of Independence… [is the] declaratory charter of our rights, and the rights of man.

Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Adams, September 12, 1821:

[T]he flames kindled on the 4 of July 1776, have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism; on the contrary, they will consume these engines and all who work them.

James Madison, letter to Thomas Jefferson, February 8, 1825:

On the distinctive principles of the Government …of the U. States, the best […]

An Open Letter to Senator Specter

By |2023-05-20T09:41:37-04:00July 3rd, 2007|

Dear Senator Specter,

I am writing to you as the Ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee. It’s useless to write to Chairman Patrick Leahy, because his views are the same as a minority of the Supreme Court Justices — whatever outcome in any case benefits the Democratic Party is fine with him, regardless of what that does to or with the US Constitution.

You, at least, say that you are interested in accurate analysis of the constitutional issues presented. I’ve read a couple of your books and I must say that your scholarship, except in the area of Scottish law, leaves a great deal to be desired.

But, […]

I just discovered that my most recent Op-Ed has been picked up by a local paper in Texas. My article – “Approval of Religious Expression Reveals False Dichotomy” – appeared in the Jacksboro Gazette-News and The Jack County Herald on June 12, 2007.

Resolved: That these colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states, that they are absolved of all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved. That it is expedient forthwith to take the most effectual measures for forming foreign Alliances.

Why We "Need" the Fairness Doctrine

By |2023-05-20T09:41:40-04:00June 30th, 2007|

A picture says a thousand words, they say. In this case, they’re very right!

(HT: NewsBusters)

Let your congressman know that you oppose the so-called Fairness Doctrine. Tell him or her that you support the Free Speech Doctrine instead.

A Hero Gets Fired – and He Didn't Even Have to Shoot

By |2023-05-20T09:38:57-04:00June 29th, 2007|

With all of the debate over the now defunct illegal immigration bill in the Senate and the efforts of liberals to relaunch the so-called Fairness Doctrine – a clear assault on conservative speech on our nation’s air waves – it is easy to lose focus on the many other battles going on to preserve the civil rights for all Americans. One such right is the moral and constitutional right to self-defense.

Last week, a story in Jacksonville, FL, was ignored by the national media, but it should not have been. The story concerns the heroism of Colin Bruley, who came to his neighbor’s […]
