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

By |2013-11-04T18:02:57-05:00November 4th, 2013|

This column by ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara was published October 04, 2013 on Forbes.com.

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

By |2020-04-23T21:52:41-04:00October 28th, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published October 27, 2013 on The Washington Times website.

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The great Obamacare oppression, which will end up denying more health care than it delivers before it is repealed and replaced, prevailed unchanged.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

By |2013-10-21T14:57:22-04:00October 21st, 2013|

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 […]

The New Face of Health Care — the IRS

By |2012-08-19T22:13:10-04:00August 19th, 2012|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published August 17, 2012 on The American Spectator website.

When President Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, aka “Obamacare”) goes fully into effect in 2014, the American people will only then begin to see the implications of its thorough government takeover of health care, in all its glory. But what they are not expecting is the massively expanded role of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) in our lives, as the IRS is the chief agency responsible for enforcing the Act.

That is explained […]

Obamanomics: The Final Nail in the Discredited Keynesian Coffin

By |2012-07-15T22:50:00-04:00July 15th, 2012|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published July 12, 2012 on Forbes.com.

Keynesian economics is the false vision of human action which says the way to promote economic recovery and renewed growth is through increased government spending, deficits and debt. If that sounds nuts, that’s because it is.

The idea is that the increased government spending and deficits will increase demand in the economy for more production, and that producers will increase supply to meet that demand, hiring more workers and reducing unemployment in the process. […]

Constitution's Limits Threaten in an Obama Second Term

By |2020-04-23T21:53:45-04:00July 13th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Ken Blackwell and ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published on July 12, 2012 on The Huffington Post website.

Public officials and pundits are still digesting the Supreme Court’s Obamacare decision in NFIB v. Sebelius. Not yet discussed are the extraordinary implications for the size and role of government in a second Obama term in light of President Obama’s new stump speech, as it is clear there is not a reliable majority on the Court to restrain government power by enforcing the limits imposed by the Constitution.

Most provisions in the Constitution fall into […]

The Great Dissent Part IV: Why Medicaid Expansion is Unconstitutional

By |2020-04-23T21:58:17-04:00July 12th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published July 12, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

We can all be thankful that one thing the Supreme Court got right in the Obamacare decision was striking down at least part of the Affordable Care Act’s massive expansion of Medicaid that would reduce the states to a subservient position before the federal government. Even two liberals–Justice Stephen Breyer and President Barack Obama’s second appointee, Justice Elena Kagan–joined Chief Justice John Roberts’ opinion invalidating a key provision in the ACA. But the four dissenters who wrote the Great Dissent would have gone further, striking down the […]

A Second Term Will Be Terminal: Another four years of Obamanomics and Argentina will be crying for us.

By |2012-07-11T10:45:19-04:00July 11th, 2012|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published July 11, 2012 on The American Spectator website.

With a second term for Obama, the world-leading America we have known and hoped to leave to our children will be gone. Last Friday’s jobs report confirms that Obama is well on his way to transforming America into a third world country, with declining living standards and perpetual economic stagnation.

Argentina enjoyed the world’s fourth highest per capita GDP in 1929, on par with America at the time. But then the nation lost its way in […]
