Gen. Boykin Blocked at West Point

A three-star Army general and war hero cannot speak at West Point because he’s an outspoken Christian. From this incident, we see the Obama administration’s hostility toward religion—and especially Christians—continues even to the detriment of our men and women in uniform.

UN Resolution 16/18 an UN-Wise Capitulation to Anti-Free Speech Fundamentalists

Last month in Washington, the United States hosted an international conference to advance the implementation of UN resolution 16 / 18.  The resolution was adopted “by consensus”—a disarming term that really means without a vote—at a session of the U.N. Human Rights Council last March. It was endorsed the following month by the UN General [...]

Unconstitutional and Antithetical to the Founding Fathers: Ron Paul’s Proposed Refusal to Defend America

I hope that title caught everyone’s attention. Now, before the hysterical spamming starts, let me explain. As a proud and dedicated member of the Heritage Foundation, I agree that a strong defense must be the primary objective of our politicians. Over at their website, Heritage scholar Marion Smith warns that: there are a lot of folks—right and [...]
