The Equality of Reaganomics, and Fallacious Leftist Dissent

By |2011-09-09T14:23:43-04:00September 9th, 2011|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published September 9, 2011 on Forbes.com.

For the last two weeks, we have discussed the broad prosperity throughout society produced by Reaganomics and the resulting 25 year economic boom that started in 1982. We have shown how that has been obscured by changing demographics, cultural factors, work patterns, and some basic, fundamental misunderstandings regarding the true statistics themselves. But today we are going to discuss the most important intellectual blunder of all regarding analysis of economic inequalities during the Reaganomics […]

Blacks and Politics

This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published September 7, 2011 on Townhall.com.

At one of last month’s Congressional Black Caucus-sponsored “job fairs,” Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., told the audience: “This is the effort that we’re seeing of Jim Crow. Some of these folks in Congress right now would love to see us as second-class citizens. Some of them in Congress right now with this tea party movement would love to see you and me — I’m sorry, Tamron — hanging on a tree.” Carson’s reference to Tamron was acknowledgment of the presence […]

Can Perry Summon Courage of True Convictions?

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published September 5, 2011 in The Washington Times.

The modern-day faith in science makes the most fanatical fundamentalist look indifferent by comparison. Ever since Charles Darwin proposed his theory of macroevolution, which even he admitted had scant evidence to support it, the intelligentsia have pushed science as the Final Decider of All Things. If you think this is harmless, see how Alfred C. Kinsey’s cooked surveys on sex in the 1940s helped launch and justify the still-disastrous sexual revolution. And look at how junk science is littering Supreme Court opinions.

The thing […]

What Did Napolitano Know about Fast and Furious?

By |2011-09-01T21:04:04-04:00September 1st, 2011|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published August 31, 2011 on The Washington Examiner website.

Heads seem to be rolling from the deadly Operation Fast and Furious gun scandal that is revealing the Obama administration to be as anti-gun as the National Rifle Association has always said.

Fast and Furious is the program initiated two years ago by officials within the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to allow more than 2,000 firearms to be sold by U.S. gun dealers to suppliers known to be working for Mexican drug cartels.

The idea was the guns would later show […]

More on the Certain Equality of Reaganomics

By |2011-09-01T20:36:20-04:00September 1st, 2011|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published August 31, 2011 on Forbes.com.

Last week we discussed the broad prosperity throughout society produced by Reaganomics and the resulting 25 year economic boom that started in 1982. We showed how that has been obscured by changing demographics and cultural factors, and how the resulting pattern of incomes closely reflected productivity and the productive performance of different workers.

For many people, this is essentially a religious issue. They are devoted to what they want to believe based on […]

Now Obama's NLRB Tells a Church School it's Not Religious Enough

By |2020-04-23T21:57:11-04:00August 30th, 2011|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published August 29, 2011 on The Washington Examiner website.

It’s not enough for President Obama’s National Labor Relations Board to target the Boeing plant in South Carolina. Now the NLRB thinks it can tell a church school when it’s not religious enough.

Most people have heard by now of NLRB’s unprecedented decree that Boeing Co. cannot build a new airline production facility in South Carolina.

But Obama’s NLRB is also claiming the authority to dictate labor policies and order union elections at Catholic universities if they are not religious enough.

St. Xavier University […]

Obama's War on the Secret Ballot

By |2020-04-23T21:58:20-04:00August 29th, 2011|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Ken Blackwell and Clint Bolick of the Goldwater Institute was published August 28, 2011 on The Huffington Post.

The Obama Administration has fired its opening salvo against a cornerstone of democracy: the right to secret ballot.

Last fall, voters in four states voted overwhelmingly to amend their constitutions protect the right of workers to vote by secret ballot in deciding whether or not to form unions. That right has been enshrined in federal law for 75 years but is threatened by bills pending in Congress.

Nonetheless, the Obama National Labor Relations Board has filed […]

Excluding Prayer From 9/11 Memorial Compounds the Tragedy of That Day

By |2011-08-26T13:40:41-04:00August 26th, 2011|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published August 25, 2011 on The Washington Examiner website.

Do you remember what things were like in the hours and days following the 9/11 terrorist attacks? Evidently New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg does not.

While the smoke was still rising against a clear sky over Manhattan, Pennsylvania, and Washington, people were flooding to churches across the country and prayer groups spontaneously organized in neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces.

Days later, President Bush spoke at a national memorial service at our National Cathedral, and clergy of various faiths offered prayers in conjunction with the president’s […]

The Downward Spiral

By |2020-04-23T21:54:02-04:00August 24th, 2011|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published August 24, 2011 on The American Spectator website.

Accelerating downward spiral. That is what I have been predicting for the Obama Administration for over two years. And now it’s happening. Events are spinning out of control.

Rising inflation is restricting the Fed’s options for keeping the economy high on monetary stimulus crack. The result? Fast developing market chaos.

On account of President Obama’s economic policies, the economy never recovered from the last recession. Now it may go back into full scale recession before […]

Legal Obedience

By |2023-03-10T08:04:48-05:00August 24th, 2011|

This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published August 24, 2011 on Townhall.com.

What laws are we morally obligated to obey? Help with the answer can be found in “Economic Liberty and the Constitution,” a 66-page pamphlet by Jacob G. Hornberger, founder and president of The Future of Freedom Foundation.

Hornberger offers a hypothetical whereby Congress enacts a compulsory church attendance law that requires children to attend church service each Sunday. Parents are penalized if their children fail to comply. Would there be any moral or constitutional legitimacy to such a congressional […]
