Obama's Shameful Calculated Deception Deceives America Over Obamacare

Every one of the major promises Obama made to the American people regarding Obamacare has now been proven to be shamefully deceitful.

Do you remember, “If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what.” All we have heard about as Obamacare has gone into effect is millions of Americans losing their health insurance.

Consider: Florida Blue announces termination of 300,000 policies, about 80 percent of its individual policies in the […]

When does the Constitution not allow religious speech or displays in the public square or at public events?

This week, the Supreme Court will hear a case on prayer at legislative events, but the actual arguments presented to the justices could apply to every aspect of American life where religious faith intersects public places and events.

This Wednesday, Nov. 6, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Town of Greece v. Galloway. Congress, states, and local governments nationwide open their meetings with an invocation. The Supreme Court calls […]

The Obamacare Chaos I Warned About Calls For Obama To Apologize To Ted Cruz

Obamacare was sold to credulous “Progressives” on the grounds that it was the way to achieve universal health insurance coverage for all Americans. But the Congressional Budget Office scored the legislation as leaving 30 million uninsured 10 years after full implementation! That is more than half the nation’s uninsured pre-Obamacare.

But just one month after Obamacare went into effect, the number of uninsured Americans has gone up rather than down. Just last week, Florida Blue announced it was issuing termination notices for 300,000 policies, about 80 percent […]

Victory Over Obamacare: How To Embarrass The Democrats Into Funding The Government

Those of you who are supposedly outraged or indignant over the partial government shutdown, or have friends or neighbors who are outraged or indignant, I can tell you all how YOU can fix it. All you have to do is tell pollsters who call that you think Obama and the Democrats are responsible for the shutdown. As soon as that hits the papers, the shutdown will be over before the end of the day.

That is because it is Obama and the Democrats who shut down the government, because they […]

ACLU to New York Cops: Drop Dead

Imagine that it was Sept. 12, 2001, and you opened your newspaper, gazed in horror at the many photos of unspeakable carnage at the World Trade Center’s twin towers, and found this story: The American Civil Liberties Union today urged the Justice Department to probe the surveillance of Muslim Americans by the New York City Police Department.

Fast forward to this past week, and you could have read it for real. The ACLU is upset that New York City police, who lost 23 officers when Muslim extremists […]

Shutdown Hysterics And Debt Drama Queens: What Happens Next?

By |2013-10-24T15:09:05-04:00October 24th, 2013|

This column by ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara was published October 22, 2013 on Forbes.com.

After all the dire predictions of doom and gloom, all the hysterics and drama queens, the end result of the great government shutdown/debt limit battle was no real substantive change, except for one, big, fat, new, debt loophole for the power mad President Obama.

The great Obamacare oppression, which will end up denying more health care than it delivers before it is repealed and replaced, prevailed unchanged. Obama and the Democrats fought off equal treatment for members of Congress and their staffs with the American people, maintaining their […]

Loving and Hating America

By |2013-10-23T14:07:17-04:00October 23rd, 2013|

This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published October 23, 2013 on Townhall.com.

As I’ve documented in the past, many leftist teachers teach our youngsters to hate our country. For example, University of Hawaii Professor Haunani-Kay Trask counseled her students, “We need to think very, very clearly about who the enemy is. The enemy is the United States of America and everyone who supports it.” Some universities hire former terrorists to teach and indoctrinate students. Kathy Boudin, former Weather Underground member and convicted murderer, is on the Columbia University School of Social Work’s faculty. Her Weather Underground […]

Letting No Crisis Go to Waste

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published October 20, 2013 on The Washington Times website.

Where others see a calamity, Obama sees golden opportunity.

Chutzpah is defined in some dictionaries as “shameless audacity.” It’s not a big enough word to describe what Barack Obama, author of the best-seller The Audacity of Hope, said after securing a GOP surrender in the fiscal showdown last week.

“We’ve got to get out of the habit of governing by crisis,” President Obama said with a straight face.

In his nearly five years as president, Mr. Obama has governed almost solely […]

ACRU: ObamaCare Violates Freedom of Religion

By |2020-04-23T21:52:41-04:00October 15th, 2013|

Brief filed on behalf of Liberty University says the cost of defying abortion order would be “crippling.”

ALEXANDRIA, VA (Oct. 15, 2013) — In an amicus brief submitted on October 9, the American Civil Rights Union asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a case brought by Liberty University. Located in Lynchburg, Virginia, the Christian college contends that forcing it through the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) to fund employee health insurance that covers abortions is unconstitutional.

In Liberty University v. Lew, Sibelius, et al, the ACRU brief, written by General Counsel Peter Ferrara, notes that, “if Liberty University fails to comply with the employer mandate […]

Over Obamacare's Illegal Delay, John Boehner Must Play Hard Ball with Harry Reid

By |2023-03-10T08:04:39-05:00October 2nd, 2013|

This column by ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara was published September 30, 2013 on Forbes.com.

Everyone is so sure of their opinion. But almost no one knows anything about it. With most of the news media actually participating in the partisan political wrangling, instead of reporting on it, can anyone even follow the budget/government spending/CR debate?

Most people don’t know about the big victory over spending the Republicans won in the 2011 Debt Limit battle. Federal spending exploded over Obama’s first two years in office, 2009 -2010, with an overwhelmingly Democrat Congress more than ready to spend every dime possible. […]
