Yes, Marriage Can Be Saved From the Gay Lobby

Since the April defeats for traditional marriage in the Iowa Supreme Court, the Vermont legislature, and the Washington, D.C. city council, Americans in the other 48 states are quietly stress-testing their legal defenses against the spread of legalized same-sex marriage.

College Student Alert: Beware of One-Party Classrooms

How can we explain continued public support for Barack Obama's extremist spending plans, even though it is painfully obvious that his much touted "remaking America" means mortgaging the financial future of young people with trillions of dollars in debt? Are the American people really willing to let the government be our nanny, manage our economy, federalize our schools, decide which businesses can keep their doors open, what health care we will be permitted, who will get new jobs, and how extravagant will be the foreign handouts as Obama "rejoins the world community"?

Will the Real Secretary Geithner Please Stand Up?

Does Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner favor replacing the U.S. dollar with a global currency, or doesn't he? Or, as Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) pointedly asked on Sean Hannity's program, "Which Tim Geithner do we believe?"

Global Warming Is Running Out of Hot Air

The coldest winter in a decade in many places, with snow in unlikely cities such as New Orleans, has deflated some of the hot air in global warming. And a heavy snowfall that paralyzed Washington, DC upstaged a mass demonstration scheduled to promote global warming.

Republicans Can’t Afford to Default to Obama

Republicans are still awestruck at how Barack Obama was able to get every Democrat in the House and Senate to vote for his Stimulus package despite opinion polls showing impressive public opposition. The answer is Obama's use of his years of training in Saul Alinsky-style community organizing combined with 21st-century technology.

E-Verify Is a “Shovel-Ready” Solution

"Never let a serious crisis go to waste." With that pithy motto, coined last November by White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, President Obama has committed over four trillion dollars of America's wealth to further his goal of "remaking America" along the lines of socialist Europe.

The Court’s One-Two Punch

Dwight Eisenhower reportedly admitted that he made two big mistakes as President: his two appointments to the Supreme Court, Earl Warren and William Brennan. One day it might be said that George W. Bush got two things right as President: his two appointments to the Supreme Court, John Roberts and Sam Alito.

Obama’s Stimulus

Under the subterfuge of helping the economy, Barack Obama's stimulus plan legislates vast new spending programs to finance liberal policy goals that are unnecessary and undesirable. The flow of taxpayers' money will be so gargantuan as to make Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society expansion of the welfare state look puny.

Obama Gives What the Doctor Did Not Order

Barack Obama forced a bitter pill down the throats of Americans which the doctor did not order and patients do not want. Obama snuck into the stimulus bill a new system for rationing medical care, and he got Congress to ram it through the House and Senate without reading it.

Obama’s Picks Don’t Change the Culture in Washington

President Barack Obama has indeed made history. His selections for his Cabinet and other top government offices make a mockery of his much publicized campaign promises to give us "the most sweeping ethics reform in history" and to "close the revolving door" to lobbyists.

Community Organizing Explained

Immediately after the Democratic National Convention in Colorado, the Boston Globe published a letter from L. David Alinsky. He boasted about how Barack Obama had made extremely effective use of his training in the methods of David's late father, the famous Chicago radical, Saul D. Alinsky.

Feminists Expect to Cash in With Barack Obama

The groups that elected Barack Obama are poised to cash in on their investment and the feminists are muscling to be first in line. The National Organization for Women (NOW), bragging that "we all worked hard to help elect" Obama, has helpfully spelled out the "feminist action agenda":

1993 All Over Again

Faced with 24/7 obamamania on the media, the 60 million Americans who did not vote for Barack Obama are wondering where we go from here. Will events turn out like 1993, when another liberal president was inaugurated with the support of big majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate?

Barack’s Bailout for Trial Lawyers

The jobless rate just hit its highest level in 16 years: 7.2 percent, which means more than 11 million Americans are unemployed. So the Democratic House responded by passing two bills making it more costly to hire workers.

Keeping Our American Identity

Can you name the three branches of American government, legislative, executive, and judicial? If so, you are among the one-half of Americans who know this very basic fact about the U.S. government and Constitution.

Public Schools Change Young Evangelicals’ Values

Why did 18-to-29-year-old evangelicals vote for Barack Obama despite his apostasy on the fundamental moral issues of abortion and same-sex unions? They voted 32 percent for Obama, twice the percentage of that demographic group who voted for John Kerry in 2004.

Obama’s Plan to Rejoin the World Community

When Candidate Barack Obama declared himself a "citizen of the world" before thousands of cheering German socialists, and later pledged to "rejoin the World Community," those weren't just his usual platitudes about "change." Those words sounded the trumpet for his specific and far-reaching globalist agenda.

Con Con Is a Terrible Idea

The mind-boggling amounts of the bailouts Congress has passed and is still debating, plus shocking Wall Street frauds, seem to have plunged some lawmakers into a silly season. Ohio state legislators this month held a surprise hearing on a resolution calling for a national constitutional convention, and then canceled a vote after dozens of citizens showed up to speak against it.

Some Change Is a Big Improvement

December first was a special day for the elementary students at Newark, New Jersey's public schools. All children are now required to wear uniforms.

Time to Follow Reagan’s Example

Conservatives face a major political challenge, but they can tackle and overcome it as they have done three times before. Three prior examples demonstrate the right way and the wrong ways to put America back on track and bounce back from a disappointing election.
