Blacks and Politics

By |2020-04-23T21:57:11-04:00September 7th, 2011|

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?

By |2011-09-06T22:14:48-04:00September 6th, 2011|

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 […]

Throw Out the Bums Before Election Day

By |2011-05-15T20:16:44-04:00May 15th, 2011|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published May 13, 2011 on The Washington Times website.

In Wymore, Neb., voters got fed up with a councilman who kept leaving meetings. So, on Tuesday, they voted him out in a recall election. It’s part of a nationwide pattern as people discover that they don’t have to wait until the next election to throw the bums out. In Chattanooga, Tenn., a recall effort against Democratic Mayor Ron Littlefield has been tied up in court since September. Organizers who filed an appeal are not giving up, and they say they expect the case […]

Peter Ferrara: The Proposed New York Mosque and the Constitution

By |2020-04-23T21:52:56-04:00August 5th, 2010|

ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara wrote this column appearing August 4, 2010 on FOXNews.com.

Muslim interests propose to build a 15 story mosque in Manhattan towering over the site of the 9/11 atrocity just 600 feet away. They would name the monument “Cordoba House.”

The original Great Mosque of Cordoba was built in the 10th century in Cordoba, Spain, the capital of the Muslim caliphate of al Andalus, ruling over the conquered Spaniards.

The Cordoba Mosque was the third largest mosque complex in the world at the time, built on the site of a former Christian church to commemorate […]

Ken Blackwell: Mr. President: Don't back the Dhimmicrats!

By |2010-08-05T14:53:04-04:00August 5th, 2010|

ACRU Senior Fellow Ken Blackwell wrote this column appearing August 5, 2010, on The Daily Caller.

Despite what you may think, Dhimmicrats are not Democrats. A dhimmicrat is a Western official who uses his position of power and influence to clear the pathway for the spread of shariah—the law they have in Saudi Arabia. Dhimmi is the Arabic word for the low status person—all non-Muslims—who live under sharia.

A good example of a dhimmicrat would be former Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has been a tireless advocate of Arabs against Israel. Another is the Right Rev. Rowan Williams, the Church of England’s Archbishop of Canterbury, […]

Peter Ferrara: The Big Bamboozler

By |2010-08-05T11:31:49-04:00August 5th, 2010|

ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara wrote this column appearing August 4, 2010 on The American Spectator.

On Monday, at yet another campaign fundraiser, the part-time President, full-time campaigner Barack Obama told Democrat fat cats, with both hands in taxpayer pockets, that Republicans “have not come up with a single, solitary new idea to address the challenges of the American people.”

But where are Barack Obama’s new ideas? The Keynesian deficit spending of the 1970s, focused on the make-work jobs programs of the 1930s, is not exactly a new idea. Neither is socialized medicine. Neither is raising capital gains taxes, or restoring the death tax, or […]
