Holder Must Go Over Gun Scandal, but What Did Obama Know?

By |2011-07-13T13:48:58-04:00July 13th, 2011|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published July 12, 2011 on The Washington Examiner website.

Operation Fast and Furious is a growing scandal. Attorney General Eric Holder must go, but Congress should not stop investigating there, and ask if Democratic operatives knew anything.

Fast and Furious is the latest variation of the ATF’s Operation Gunrunner (aka Gunwalker), allowing U.S. guns into Mexico. It’s a disaster involving more than 2,000 guns, many now being used in crimes, and one used to kill a federal agent.

Despite Holder claiming to have only recently learned about Fast and Furious, BigGovernment.com found a 2009 […]

Failing Liberty 101

A recent Superman comic book has the hero saying, “I am renouncing my U.S. citizenship” because “truth, justice, and the American way — it’s not enough anymore.” Though not addressing Superman’s statement, Stanford University professor and Hoover Institution senior fellow William Damon explains how such a vision could emerge today but not yesteryear. The explanation is found in his article “American Amnesia,” in Defining Ideas (7/1/2011), based upon his most recent book, Failing Liberty 101: How We Are Leaving Young […]

Reaganomics Is the Only Answer

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published July 13, 2011 on The American Spectator website.

The extended stagnation of the American economy is starting to look more and more like a depression. Obama is on track to put the Great in that Depression with what he has already enacted into law for 2013, unless the American people reverse course next year.

At no point in the last 70 years, going back to the Great Depression, has the American economy suffered unemployment this high for this long, or such extended stagnation without […]

American Sovereignty and Republican Politics in Texas Execution

By |2011-07-11T22:22:45-04:00July 11th, 2011|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published July 11, 2011 on The Washington Examiner website.

President Obama joined Mexico and foreign powers condemning Texas’ execution of a convicted murder-rapist on July 7. But Obama has no one to blame but himself, in a story that will affect Texas’ Senate race and presidential politics.

In 1994, a 16-year-old American girl was raped and murdered by Humberto Leal Garcia–a Mexican–in San Antonio, Texas. When police interviewed Garcia in a non-custodial setting (meaning he was not under arrest), Garcia’s answers led to his conviction and death sentence.

Although Mexico does not deny Garcia’s […]

Fallacies Of Economic Equality That Promote Poverty

By |2020-04-23T21:56:54-04:00July 7th, 2011|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published July 7, 2011 on Forbes.com.

“The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United […]

Constitutional Conservatism Ready for Prime Time

By |2020-04-23T21:57:12-04:00July 6th, 2011|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski and ACRU Senior Fellow Ken Blackwell was published July 6, 2011 on The Huffington Post.

Liberal pundits are panicking over constitutional conservatism. They shouldn’t, because every child — whether the parents are liberal or conservative — will benefit from constitutional conservatism’s ascendency. If America elects a constitutional conservative president and Congress in 2012, we’ll move forward as a freedom-loving nation.

Several outlets on the Left — such as The New Republic — are raising an alarm about this disturbing new term, saying that it’s secret code for “absolutists” and “zealots” on economic […]

Obamacare Tragedy Primed To Further Explode the Deficit

By |2011-07-06T10:16:24-04:00July 6th, 2011|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published July 6, 2011 on The American Spectator website.

President Obama bludgeoned Obamacare through Congress on the claim, backed by CBO, that it would not add to the deficit, even though it adopts or wildly expands three entitlement programs. As I discuss in my new book, America’s Ticking Bankruptcy Bomb, close analysis of the CBO score and additional new data indicates that, quite to the contrary, Obamacare will likely add $4 to $6 trillion to the deficit over its first 20 years, and possibly more.

Gross Media Ignorance

By |2011-07-06T09:49:58-04:00July 6th, 2011|

This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published July 6, 2011 on Townhall.com.

There’s little that’s intelligent or informed about Time magazine editor Richard Stengel’s article “One Document, Under Siege” (June 23, 2011). It contains many grossly ignorant statements about our Constitution. If I believed in conspiracies, I’d say Stengel’s article is part of a leftist agenda to undermine respect for the founding values of our nation.

Stengel says:

“The framers were not gods and were not infallible. Yes, they gave us, and the world, a blueprint for the protection of […]

Time's Orwellian Story on U.S. Constitution Refuted!

By |2023-03-10T08:04:48-05:00July 3rd, 2011|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski and ACRU Senior Fellow Ken Blackwell was published July 2, 2011 on The Huffington Post.

Time magazine’s cover story shows the U.S. Constitution and asks, “Does it still matter?” Reading this story, we kept waiting for Emmanuel Goldstein to show up for the Two Minutes of Hate. It was difficult to discern whether we were reading Time, or Orwells’ 1984.

It portrays the Constitution as an outmoded document that we should ignore to whatever extent is expedient to pursue someone’s vision of a better society: “We cannot let the Constitution become an […]
