Militant Atheists' War on Christians and Christmas in 2013

This Christmas season is seeing those who deny the existence of God pressing forward with a militant secular agenda, one that is intolerant–often bitterly so–of Christians in America.

Set aside for a moment the blockbuster controversy regarding Phil Robertson and “Duck Dynasty,” which is driven by a visceral rejection of Biblical Christian views on sin and sexuality. The same hostility toward Christians who believe the Bible is the Word of God is on full display this Christmas season in other respects.

Pastor Alistair Begg–one of the most famous […]

Dems' Power Grab Will Cost Them the War Over the Constitution in Court

By |2020-04-23T21:53:56-04:00December 6th, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published November 26, 2013 on Breitbart.com.

Winning a battle that costs you a war is no victory.

The silver lining from President Obama’s and Senate Democrats’ unprecedented power grab last week is that now a conservative Republican president can appoint a Supreme Court that will restore the Constitution to its historical place in our nation’s life, revitalizing limited government and safeguarding fundamental rights.

Had conservatives invoked the nuclear option, mainstream media outlets would have given it wall-to-wall coverage under the banner, “The Death of Democracy in America.” MSNBC hosts might have openly wept on […]

The ACLU's Not So Holy Trinity

By |2013-11-26T17:47:26-05:00November 26th, 2013|

This column by Grove City College historian Paul Kengor was published December 14, 2010 on the American Spectator website.

There’s a reason why the Christmas season always brings out the atheist in the ACLU.

In a revealing American Spectator article, historian Paul Kengor uproots the American Civil Liberties Union’s historic hostility to Christmas and other public celebrations of Christianity. Here’s an excerpt:

The ACLU seems unusually active right now. What gives? Maybe it’s the Christmas season, which always seems to spring the ACLU into high gear, more miserable than usual….

I tried to ignore the latest round […]

ACRU: Obama Made Illegal Recess Appointments to NLRB

By |2013-11-26T11:46:58-05:00November 26th, 2013|

Group’s Supreme Court brief supports private company against negative ruling by a National Labor Relations Board that lacked a constitutionally legal quorum.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Nov. 26, 2013) — President Obama violated the Constitution by claiming to have made three appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) when the Senate was not in recess, so a ruling made by that body is invalid, the American Civil Rights Union (ACRU) argues in a friend of the court brief filed Monday at the U.S. Supreme Court. President Obama is the first President in U.S. history to try to make recess appointments that bypass Senate […]

We Must Repeal Obamacare To Make Society Much More Humane

By |2020-04-23T21:57:05-04:00November 25th, 2013|

This column by ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara was published November 18, 2013 on Forbes.com.

In a Wall Street Journal commentary on November 11, Alan Blinder purports to tell us why, despite a “botched rollout,” Obamacare is still worth it. “America cannot be a humane society if we leave 15% of our population uninsured,” he explains.

I agree that America cannot be a humane society unless we have some means to assure health care for all. But in context, his quoted statement above could not be more silly, and intellectually embarrassing.

Alan, is Princeton so intellectually corrupt these days that no one […]

Entitlement Reform, Tea Party Style

By |2013-11-25T13:30:17-05:00November 25th, 2013|

This column by ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara was published November 13, 2013 on the American Spectator website.

The Tea Party/Republican House majority was elected in 2010 to stop the runaway Obama/Progressive Democrat big government spending spree. And it has had a decisive effect in that regard, as recorded in the annual CBO budget report released last week.

Federal spending soared from $2.655 trillion in 2006, when the Democrat Congress was elected to replace the Republican Congress, to $3.6 trillion in fiscal 2011, reflecting the last spending legislation adopted by that completely Democrat Congress in the prior year, an increase of […]

Clarence Thomas vs. Barack Obama on Gettysburg, American Greatness

By |2013-11-20T12:28:45-05:00November 20th, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published November 19, 2013 on Breitbart.com.

When asked last week how he ended up on the Supreme Court of the United States, Justice Clarence Thomas said, “It was totally Forrest Gump,” in a revealing–and hilarious–on-stage interview at last week’s Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention.

This full-length interview was a window into the soul of America’s most conservative High Court justice–whose remarks on Gettysburg could not draw a more stark contrast with President Barack Obama.

Thomas was the keynote speaker at last week’s annual gathering of the brightest conservative legal stars in America. He sat […]

Feeling the Pain and Assigning the Blame

By |2013-11-18T13:37:21-05:00November 18th, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published November 17, 2013 on The Washington Times website.

When Bill Clinton jumps off the bus over embarrassing prevarications, you know it’s getting serious.

The former president’s rebuke last week of President Obama for repeatedly lying to Americans that they could keep their health insurance policies under Obamacare shows that the Comeback Kid still has an acute ability to feel our pain. Also, that he’s prepared to throw anyone under the bus in order to get back into the White House behind Hillary’s skirt.

There is rich irony in a sitting president being lectured for […]

Obama's Insurance 'Fix' is Unconstitutional

By |2013-11-18T13:22:11-05:00November 18th, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published November 14, 2013 on Breitbart.com.

Outlets are quoting Democratic operative Howard Dean saying of President Barack Obama suspending certain Obamacare requirements, “I wonder if he has the legal authority to do this.”

To remove all doubt: The Take Care Clause of the Constitution absolutely forbids any president from doing exactly what Obama did Thursday.

Obama said he would allow insurance companies to keep offering previously-offered insurance plans that Americans would like to keep. Nobody knows if this means all plans, or only some of them, and how the White House will make such […]

A 'Sorry' Excuse for a President

By |2013-11-15T14:10:15-05:00November 15th, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Jan LaRue was published November 15, 2013 on the American Thinker website.

President Obama is “sorry” that millions of Americans have had their health insurance plans cancelled despite his promises that ObamaCare would not cause this.

Is Obama sorry he’s been caught in multiple material lies about his disastrous namesake, or is it the “godly sorrow” of Scripture that “brings repentance” and rights wrongs?

Obama repeatedly has professed to be a Christian. His “pastor in chief”, Joshua DuBois, has a new book, The President’s Devotional, a compilation of devotions that he sent daily to Obama’s Blackberry since […]
