Tea Party Wave Could Carry Texas Senate Seat for Ted Cruz

By |2020-04-23T21:54:00-04:00May 27th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published May 25, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

Constantly underestimated by the Republican establishment, the Tea Party continues to prove its power in GOP primaries. First Indiana, then Nebraska. And now new polls show rising conservative star Ted Cruz potentially poised to beat ultra-wealthy Lt. Governor David Dewhurst for the open U.S. Senate seat in Texas in a classic David v. Goliath match-up.

Ted Cruz’s bio looks like he’s a character from a script for an “only in America” movie story. A Hispanic, he was born to a Cuban father who was imprisoned […]

Prepared Remarks of the Hon. Ken Blackwell

By |2020-04-23T21:52:48-04:00May 25th, 2012|

This speech by ACRU Senior Fellow Ken Blackwell was delivered May 24, 2012 to the American Religious Freedom Program Conference.

Good afternoon. It is good to be with so many like-minded men and women, people who are committed to defending our most essential freedom – religious liberty.

We tend naturally to focus on religious freedom issues that rise to the national level. Those cases that come before the Supreme Court rank high in public interest and command the attention of the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, New York Times and other giants of the main-stream media.

One of the most unprecedented and ominous assaults […]

ACLU Declares New War on Single-Sex Education

By |2012-05-24T23:11:59-04:00May 24th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published May 23, 2012 on The Washington Times website.

Boys and girls have the same needs, desires and temperaments, according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

Any observable disparities can be traced to soft bigotry, such as thinking that boys typically throw better than girls. And that girls’ social radar makes boys by comparison as socially sharp as grass-munching oxen.

So, on Monday, the ACLU launched a nationwide jihad against single-sex education, in which boys and girls are separated into classes designed to enhance each sex’s learning capabilities:

“Today, […]

Hugo Chavez in America: A 2nd Obama Term Means No Independent Judiciary

By |2012-05-24T16:23:10-04:00May 24th, 2012|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published May 24, 2012 on Forbes.com.

President Obama’s most blatant first term abuses can be struck down by the check on Presidential power by an independent judiciary. For example, last year Obama purported to make “recess” appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), when the Senate was not in recess. But the first time the NLRB so constituted tries to bring any enforcement action for any violation of any of its regulations, the defendant can nullify the prosecution by arguing it […]

Should Black People Tolerate This?

By |2012-05-23T14:39:05-04:00May 23rd, 2012|

This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published May 23, 2012 on Townhall.com.

Each year, roughly 7,000 blacks are murdered. Ninety-four percent of the time, the murderer is another black person. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, between 1976 and 2011, there were 279,384 black murder victims. Using the 94 percent figure means that 262,621 were murdered by other blacks. Though blacks are 13 percent of the nation’s population, they account for more than 50 percent of homicide victims. Nationally, black homicide victimization rate is six times that of whites, and in […]

The Wisconsin Turning Point

By |2012-05-23T13:47:27-04:00May 23rd, 2012|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published May 23, 2012 on The American Spectator website.

The recall election for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is scheduled for June 5. That election is now a crucial battleground for the future of America, and even a critical bellwether for how this fall’s elections will turn out. Walker is staring down the national political machine of government workers unions, and the entire Obama campaign. This is a Paul Revere moment for all conservatives across America. The future of your country is at stake. Walker needs […]

Kansas Leads Way Against Ballot Fraud

By |2012-05-21T13:04:38-04:00May 21st, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published May 18, 2012 on The Washington Times website.

Kansas is one of those schizophrenic states that produce movers and shakers on both sides of the aisle, plus a lot of moderates like Viagra pitchman Bob Dole. The same state that has conservative Republican Sam Brownback as governor most recently sent Democrat and former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to Washington, where she pursues nationalized health care and persecution of Catholic hospitals with the same zeal with which she championed abortion back in the Sunflower State.

The most encouraging news out of Kansas is […]

Fast and Furious: Why Eric Holder Will Lose the Legal Fight

By |2020-04-23T21:54:00-04:00May 17th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published May 17, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

Federal courts could soon decide a fight between Congress and Attorney General Eric Holder on the Operation Fast and Furious gun-running scandal. If Republicans persevere, this is a battle that Holder should lose in what would be a humiliating defeat for President Barack Obama.

Most Americans have now heard that our government allowed drug cartels to illegally smuggle thousands of guns from the U.S. into Mexico. The National Rifle Association has relentlessly pursued the White House and Department of Justice (DOJ) about Fast and Furious […]

Pyrrhic Victory for the ACLU in Texas?

By |2020-04-23T21:52:48-04:00May 17th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published May 17, 2012 on the American Thinker website.

In Lewisville, Texas, there will be a benediction and invocation at the graduation ceremony on June 3rd this year, but thanks to the ACLU, the program will call them something else.

“Our attorneys have made it clear that we can continue to have student-led prayer, but we will call it ‘student remarks,'” Kevin Rogers, chief operating officer of the Lewisville Independent School District, told the Dallas Morning News.

Thus, the ACLU of Texas won a pyrrhic battle in its ongoing campaign to […]

Different Rules for D.C.?

By |2012-05-17T00:20:07-04:00May 17th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Chairman and CEO and CCPP founder and President Susan A. Carleson was published May 16, 2012 on the American Thinker website.

Just in case anyone needs any more surprises, liberal hypocrisy has again been unearthed in — of all places — Washington, D.C.!

Last August, the Army Corps of Engineers denied the District of Columbia a permit as part of a $1.5-billion Southwest Waterfront redevelopment project to begin constructing high-rise, luxury townhouses, a yacht club, and other buildings on piers in and on the Washington Channel — a congressionally designated navigable water of the United States.
