So much for our 1st Amendment

Did you hear the one about America having the right to free speech?  Our forefathers held such value in freedom of speech, they placed it at the top of the list of our Amendment rights.  It trumps all, it protects all citizen expression, even upholding the late ‘potty mouth’ Lenny Bruce’s right to use it.

Iran, Israel and the Bomb

Sorting the real, from the phony, nuclear proliferation threats. As far as grand summitry goes, an American President hasn’t hosted something like the current two-day talk-in on nuclear security in Washington since—well, as the Obama Administration described it, not since the San Francisco Conference of 1945. That meeting created the United Nations and helped establish [...]

Tom Campbell’s Troubling Ties

By: Michelle Malkin Republican Tom Campbell, who served in the House of Representatives for ten years between 1989 and 2001, is currently running for the U.S. Senate seat occupied by California Democrat Barbara Boxer. While the incumbent has acted as little more than a rubber stamp for the Obama agenda, it is by no means [...]

Mitt Romney’s Book Sets Stage for 2012 White House Run

The title of Mitt Romney’s new book, “No Apology: The Case for American Greatness,” is a not-so-subtle jab at the visits President Obama made overseas when he first took office, derided by the right as the “American Apology Tour.” Romney’s book as a whole, however, may best be remembered not for the contrasts it offers [...]

Told Ja!

Here is an excerpt from a recent blog article of mine and then an excerpt from NRO. Many conservatives are on the same page in opposing any terrorist trials on civilian courts and increasingly, so are many Democrats as they get an earful from the citizens whose lives will be endangered and disrupted by this [...]

Soft on Terror

By: Charles Krauthammer Islamist terrorism is not a law-enforcement issue. The real scandal surrounding the failed Christmas Day airline bombing was not the fact that a terrorist got on a plane — that can happen to any administration, as it surely did to the Bush administration — but what happened afterward when Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab [...]

Obama faces dwindling options in his effort to close Guantanamo Bay

This story is a classic good news, bad news situation. The good news is that incompetent Presidents who make awful decisions can’t continue to govern against the wishes of the people indefinitely. The bad news is that incompetent Presidents continue to be incompetent and insist that we will try KSM in a civilian court…somewhere. They [...]

The Yemeni Front in the War on Terror

By John Leonard It is difficult to decide which thought is more disturbing regarding the recent terror attack on Northwest Flight 253: that terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab nearly succeeded, or the reaction by U.S. officials in the aftermath of the attempted bombing. Janet Napolitano’s ridiculous claim that everything went according to plan was retracted, revised, [...]

The Illinois Way

http://townhall.com/columnists/SandyRios/2009/11/20 /the_illinois_way TOWNHALL.COM By: Sandy Rios “It’s a dream come true!” declared Senator Dick Durbin referring to the economic benefits of bringing terrorists from Gitmo to tiny Thomson, Illinois. “…that’s an opportunity we are not going to miss.” The Chicago Sun-Times chided opponents with an editorial entitled “Don’t Let Fear Decide Fate of Gitmo Inmates.” [...]

Bringing al-Qaeda to New York

By the Editors Candidate Barack Obama urged a return to pre-9/11 counterterrorism-by-courts. President Obama’s Justice Department overflows with lawyers who spent the last eight years representing America’s enemies. Thus, Friday’s announcement that top al-Qaeda terrorists will be brought to New York City for a civilian trial is no surprise. That doesn’t make it any less [...]
