This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published on January 10, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) is mobilizing for a massive four-front conflict with President Barack Obama over the Constitution and gun rights after a made-for-TV meeting today at the White House between Vice President Joe Biden, Attorney General Eric Holder, and a top NRA operative.

Obama appointed Biden–who throughout his career has opposed gun rights–to lead his gun-control task force after the horribly tragic Newtown shooting. Biden and Holder met Thursday with Jim Baker, director of the Federal Affairs Division of […]

“Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and gave him triumphal processions….Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the forum of the ‘new, wonderful good society’ which shall now be Rome’s, interpreted to mean ‘more money, more ease, more security, more living fatly at the expense of the industrious.'”

Why the 2nd Amendment

By |2020-04-23T21:53:45-04:00January 3rd, 2013|

This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published January 2, 2013 on Townhall.com.

Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., shootings, said: “The British are not coming. … We don’t need all these guns to kill people.” Lewis’ vision, shared by many, represents a gross ignorance of why the framers of the Constitution gave us the Second Amendment. How about a few quotes from the period and you decide whether our Founding Fathers harbored a fear of foreign tyrants.

Tax Cuts and Duplicity

By |2013-01-03T11:06:27-05:00January 3rd, 2013|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published January 2, 2013 on The American Spectator website.

Neither President Obama nor any other Democrat ever proposed any middle class tax cut in the fiscal cliff negotiations. All that was ever discussed is continuation of the same middle class income tax rates that have been in effect for 12 years now.

Those income tax rates reflect a middle class tax cut that was adopted by a Republican Congress and a Republican President 12 years ago, which virtually all Congressional Democrats voted against at the […]

New York Times: Throw Off Bondage of "Evil" Constitution

By |2020-04-23T21:57:07-04:00January 2nd, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published on January 1, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

The biggest liberal newspaper in the country has printed a column from a top progressive scholar calling on the American people to ignore the Constitution with its “evil provisions,” revealing the far-left agenda for what it is and making sense of several major actions of the Obama administration.

Those who love liberty and our Constitution need to speak up and be heard. The Constitution is the cornerstone of the United States of America as a nation. It holds us together, gives us our national […]

Federal Appeals Court Sides with Religious Liberty on HHS Mandate

By |2020-04-23T21:52:46-04:00January 1st, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published on January 1, 2013 on Breitbart.com.

Just last week Breitbart News reported on the threat to religious liberty from the HHS Mandate: starting today, Hobby Lobby is subject to penalties of $1.3 million per day for its owners refusing to violate their Christian beliefs after a federal appeals court and Justice Sonia Sotomayor declined to grant emergency relief.

Now another federal appeals court has gone the other way, siding with religious liberty and setting the stage for a Supreme Court showdown.

Hobby Lobby Defies Obama Administration with Civil Disobedience for Religious Liberty

By |2023-03-10T08:04:44-05:00December 30th, 2012|

“We must obey God rather than men!”–Acts 5:29.

Now that Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has denied Hobby Lobby’s application for an emergency injunction protecting them from Obamacare’s HHS Mandate on abortion and birth control, Hobby Lobby has decided to defy the federal government to remain true to their religious beliefs, at enormous risk and financial cost.

Hobby Lobby is wholly owned and controlled by the Green family, who are evangelical Christians. The Greens are committed to running their business in accordance with […]

"Assault Weapon" Is Just a PR Stunt Meant to Fool the Gullible

By |2020-04-23T21:54:00-04:00December 30th, 2012|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published December 28, 2012 on Forbes.com.

Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) has announced that she will be introducing legislation to reenact the ban on so-called assault weapons that she authored in 1994. The evidence is in on the effect of her previous assault weapons ban: zero, zilch, nada, as the saying goes. The ban made no perceptible difference in the gun violence statistics when it went into effect, and no perceptible difference when it was allowed to expire 10 years later, in 2003.

Justice Sotomayor Denies Hobby Lobby Request on HHS Mandate

By |2020-04-23T21:52:46-04:00December 27th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published on December 27, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has denied Hobby Lobby’s emergency application to be exempted from the HHS Mandate on abortion services, but that should not be considered a sign that the HHS Mandate will survive its legal challenges in the end.

The war on religious liberty continues. Despite repeated promises from President Barack Obama and his allies that they would not use Obamacare to force people to violate their religious beliefs regarding abortion, Obama handpicked an abortion-hardliner as secretary of the U.S. Department of […]

Is President Obama Really A Socialist? Let's Analyze Obamanomics

By |2012-12-26T10:46:35-05:00December 26th, 2012|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published December 20, 2012 on Forbes.com.

President Obama says that income taxes must be raised on the rich because they don’t pay their fair share. The indisputable facts from official government sources say otherwise.

The CBO reports based on official IRS data that in 2009 the top 1% of income earners paid 39% of all federal income taxes, three times their share of income at 13%. Yet, the middle 20% of income earners, the true middle class, paid just […]
