AKBAR AHMED – Representative Peter King’s hearings are an opportunity to educate Americans about the Islamic community’s diversity and faith.

Ruth Marcus – One of the odder exchanges I’ve ever seen during a congressional hearing involved Attorney General Eric Holder, Texas Republican Rep. Lamar Smith and the phrase “radical Islam.”

The Administration embraces military tribunals at Gitmo..

Paul E. Peterson – As the extra-legal actions taken by the Democratic senators in Wisconsin persist into their second week, and as Indiana Democrats are following suit, the risk to orderly government in these states continues to intensify.

Charles G. Koch – Crony capitalism and bloated government prevent entrepreneurs from producing the products and services that make people's lives better. .

John C. Drew, PhD – My first meeting with young Barack Obama raised strong feelings and left me with a positive first impression. At the time, I felt I'd persuaded a young man anticipating a Marxist-Leninist revolution to appreciate the more practical alternative of conventional politics as a channel for his socialist views.

Another grotesque Obama moment. Everyday the news is worse (for proud Americans.) Obama is this recurring nightmare Americans cannot wake from. Despite Obama's strange friendship with Qaddafi, Americans were the last to escpae the nightmare in Libya in a rickety "ferry." Worse, it sat for three days waiting to depart while other nations whisked their people out.

Our country could see the Constitution of the United States change before our eyes. How? SJR 1 (the Constitutional Convention Resolution) passed the Texas Senate yesterday (2.23.11) on a vote of 24 to 7.

IN THE TUMULTUOUS HISTORY of postwar American Liberalism, there has been a slow but steady decline of which the Liberals have been steadfastly oblivious. This pose has called for admirable discipline, for the evidence was all around them.

The hard left's unsurprising romance with the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist organizations.

John Berlau – Michigan Democrats and Republicans alike hand the Senate Majority Whip a stinging defeat. In the battle against Obamacare, the first chinks in the law's armor were resolutions against the law by state legislatures. These resolutions led to court cases that have been victorious in two instances, and a new majority in the U.S. House Representatives that voted to repeal the law.

Peter Ferrara – A guide to the most reckless budget in U.S. history. President Obama's budget released on Monday proposes to spend $3.73 trillion for 2012. He can't say Bush made him do that. That proposed spending is an undeniable fact that reveals who he is, which he successfully hid from 53% of voters in 2008.

HOUSTON, 2/15/2011 — Friday the country of kings became the doorway to democracy for Muslim nations across North Africa and throughout the Middle East, bringing about the possibility of popular control over three quarters of the world's oil.
