Sean Parnell of the Center for Competitive Politics writes up a good defense of Citizens United v. FEC: Ultimately Citizens United answered a basic question of First Amendment rights — can the government pick and chose which types of speakers are allowed to offer their views to voters? Wisely, the Supreme Court said no, and […]
To get America’s fiscal house in order, Congress must be sure to fully defund Obamacare, says CU President David Bossie on Big Government: America’s unsustainable $14 trillion debt will cripple our nation if we do not stop the spending. The Obama Administration and Congressional Democrats appear to be unable to garner the strength to curb […]
Today’s Washington Post’s headline “Rep. Peter King’s Muslim hearing: Plenty of drama, less substance” completely misses the mark on Congressman King’s inquiry into Islamic radicalization in America. Holding a hearing of any kind on this subject is substantive and a first step that Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid are unwilling to take, especially […]
CU President David Bossie defends Rep. Peter King’s hearings into Islamic radicalism in America: The threat of homegrown terror is real, as the terrorist attack at Fort Hood, Texas vividly illustrated. Today the House Committee on Homeland Security, under the chairmanship of Congressman Peter King (R-NY), held a critically important hearing on “The Extent of […]
The New York Times and other liberal media outlets are commencing an all out assault against House Homeland Security Chairman Peter King (R-NY) for his hearing today on the threat of radical Islam in America. Congressman King is taking a bold stand to shed light on how homegrown terror has become the top security threat […]
The threat of homegrown terror is real, as the terrorist attack at Fort Hood, Texas vividly illustrated. On March 10, the House Committee on Homeland Security, under the Chairmanship of Congressman Peter King (R-NY), will hold a critically important hearing on “The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community’s Response.” Predictably, […]
Senate Democrats claimed last week that they would cut $6.5 billion from the 2011 budget, which has still not even been passed yet. But last night, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report saying that the Senate Democrats’ plan was off by almost $2 billion and would actually only cut $4.7 billion. This error, […]
CU President David Bossie offers a solution to rein in the national debt: In the coming weeks, Congress will consider legislation to raise the debt ceiling. In fact, to actually call it a debt “ceiling” is one of the biggest frauds in the American political lexicon. As our government continues to spend without paying for […]
Guest post on Cagle regarding the budget gimmicks President Obama has been using: The numbers being floated around by President Obama and Congressional Democrats during this year’s budget battle are all spin and sleight of hand. Not that this should surprise anyone – the President has a history of using smoke and mirrors – especially […]
CU President David Bossie opines on the cultural roots of our current budget battle: The current economic crisis is not a failure of capitalism, but a failure of culture. Citizens United Productions’ film Generation Zero explores the cultural roots of the global financial meltdown – beginning with the narcissism of the 1960s which spread like […]
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Newsmax.tv’s Kathleen Walter to discuss everything from unions to debt to Ronald Reagan to President Obama: President Barack Obama’s Chicago-style politics and “union thugocracy” are at work in Wisconsin in an effort to undermine Gov. Scott Walker’s plans to rein in the power of public sector labor […]
The Obama Administration is probably patting itself on the back with today’s unemployment report. The rate fell one tenth of a percent to 8.9%, and it is now below 9% for the first time since April of 2009. Hopefully, the jobs reports continue to get better, but let’s remember that President Obama said his stimulus […]
