Of War and Remembrance

Ordinarily, America's Memorial Day is the beginning of our summer holidays. We often observe the day by having local Scout troops place small American flags on the graves of fallen warriors. Many of us make sure to tell our children about service members' sacrifice and use this time to explain to them the price of liberty. Freedom is not free, we ... (more)

For Scouts, a Badge of Dishonor

After two decades of bitter back and forth, one of the last strongholds for morality in America finally buckled. Late this afternoon, despite a relentless push by Scouts in every state, the National Council exchanged a century-old legacy for a false compromise that puts an American tradition on the pathway to extinction. After 103 years of ... (more)

The DOJ's 'Do's and 'Don't's

When the Justice Department is done violating journalists' First Amendment rights, it looks like they'll move on to employees'. In a chilling memo to DOJ staff, the Obama administration is warning managers that they'd better start embracing homosexuality--or else. The email, which a Justice employee leaked to Liberty Counsel, is a scary reminder ... (more)

Crime and Punishment

The IRS waged a secret war against conservatives, the White House covered up an attack on a consulate, and the Left wants to crack down on our "dishonesty?" Considering the administration's vulnerability, now is hardly the time for liberals to wage a truth campaign. But then, common sense has never been a hallmark of the abortion lobby. Desperate ...

Womb for Improvement in U.S. Abortion Law

Americans love their reality TV, but when it comes to the reality of what happens in the country's abortion clinics, they tune out. While the clinics may not all be as filthy as Kermit Gosnell's, the reality of what happens there is still the same: babies born alive die painful and violent deaths. No one really knows how many children are killed ... (more)

Cheetahs Never Prosper!

In all fairness to the IRS, its softball team was named the "Cheetahs" long before this latest scandal! But it seems especially appropriate now, after what many are calling the worst corruption case since Watergate. Leading up to the 2012 elections, the IRS engaged in some of the most vicious ideological censorship in U.S. history, systematically ... (more)

Monsters, Inc? Texas Doc Picks up where Gosnell Left off

Kermit Gosnell may be behind bars, but his deadly legacy lives on. Just when the abortion lobby thought it could turn the page on the PR disaster of the Women's Medical Society, a new "house of horrors" is making headlines--this time in Texas. There, the eye-witness accounts rival those of even Gosnell's clinic, as three former employees described ... (more)

From Uncle Sam to Uncle Scam

When President Obama delivered the keynote at Ohio State's graduation last weekend, who knew how ironic his words would be? "Unfortunately," he told the class of 2013, "you've grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that's at the root of all our problems... They'll warn that ... (more)

For Gosnell, a Declarative Sentence

Over the last two months, Kermit Gosnell did something that he hadn't managed in almost 40 years of practicing abortion: he brought something to life. It took eight weeks of harrowing testimony, but the debate over the inhumanity of abortion is reborn in America--the product of an excruciating trial that turned even the most hardened of abortion ...

Christian Adopt Shun?

The Left has a funny way of celebrating Mother's Day. First, the President issues a bizarre tweet reminding moms that his gift is free birth control -- presumably so they never have to become mothers again. Then, of course, there was Secretary Arne Duncan's announcement that the Department of Education would stop acknowledging moms' existence ... (more)
