HOUSTON – Following the inspiring meeting of conservative Christian activists last weekend, my biggest question about the 2012 election is whether Republicans are ready to meet what I call “the Ron Paul challenge.” By “the Ron Paul challenge,” I’m not talking about the threat of Paul actually winning the nomination. I’m referring instead to the […]

AG Eric Holder is trying to compare the time when forcing African Americans to pay a poll tax, or answer obscure questions about the Georgia constitution – common tactics to deny blacks the right to vote 50 years ago – to voter ID laws today. Is it possible to be so ignorant of history, partisan, […]

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich was greeted with a standing ovation when he was announced at a barbecue. Too bad the former House speaker wasn’t around to see it. He was inexplicably missing, and his absence forced the event’s moderator to ask awkwardly, “Can we check and see where the speaker is?” It was just […]

WASHINGTON—Radical. Dangerous. Crazy. Unworthy of mainstream attention. Just too out there. And don’t forget about all those old racist newsletters. That was the conventional Republican playbook on Ron Paul in December, when the eccentric 76-year-old Texas libertarian began showing the first real signs of traction in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Plenty of […]

Freedom is a two-edged sword, in that it grants us the opportunity to destroy our own destiny should we make wrong choices. But it doesn’t have to be that way, should we choose to learn from others’ mistakes. The voice of reason beckons those who are willing to listen: Czech Republic president Vaclav Klaus sounded […]

Since 1976, every time the GOP has run a RINO for president, the party has suffered an ignominious defeat – against a peanut farmer in ’76, a serial lecher in ’92 and a Marxist in 2008. But Mitt Romney isn’t taking any chances. Should he secure the nomination, his primary campaign will ensure his defeat […]

Just prior to his appointment as President Obama’s so-called regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein wrote a lengthy academic paper suggesting the government should “infiltrate” social network websites, chat rooms and message boards. Such “cognitive infiltration,” Sunstein argued, should be used to enforce a U.S. government ban on “conspiracy theorizing.” Among the beliefs Sunstein classified as a […]

(CNSNews.com) – Although aides to Sen. Jim DeMint have endorsed Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, the South Carolina Republican has not done so himself. In an interview with Fox & Friends on Thursday morning, the conservative DeMint said he likes much of what he’s hearing from Ron Paul: “If Republicans don’t understand the important aspects […]

Only two candidates are slated to be on the 2012 Virginia Republican presidential primary ballot. The mainstream media is choosing to frame this predicament as evidence of which GOP candidates are running “serious” campaigns and which are not. But this media-driven narrative largely misses the mark. The real loser in this ordeal is likely to […]

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A state judge agreed with Democrats on Monday and dismissed a lawsuit aimed at keeping President Barack Obama off the ballot in Alabama this year, joining other jurists who have thrown out cases arguing Obama isn’t a natural-born U.S. citizen and can’t legally hold the office. The fight isn’t yet over whether […]

WASHINGTON – A bestselling author, speaker and commentator who likes presidential candidate Ron Paul’s “incredibly refreshing principles, ideas, qualities and character” might be the last person you would expect to blow the whistle on holes in Paul’s foreign policy prescriptions and assumptions behind them. But that’s just what Joel Richardson does today in an exclusive […]

Attaining political power includes winning elections and forming a state run according to Islamic law, the liberation of countries of Islam from a foreign yoke, uniting them into one Islamic entity, and spreading Islamic values around the globe on the ruins of the liberal West. President Barack Obama’s view of the Muslim Brotherhood is based […]
