STEPHEN STONE, RA PRESIDENT — This installment in our series on Mitt Romney and Mormonism takes a look at the moral imperative God requires of all voters. It's an imperative that has special relevance to those who wish to "do the right thing" this election... (more)

WES VERNON, RA ANALYST — The time has long passed when we could afford to look the other way on the extent to which subversive influences -- communist and jihad-oriented Islamists -- have for years been worming their way into the high councils of our government... (more)

LONDON DAILY MAIL — Barack Obama has already held more re-election fundraising events than every elected president since Richard Nixon combined, according to figures to be published in a new book. Obama is also the only president in the past 35 years to visit every electoral battleground state in his first year of office... (more)

REUTERS — The Housing market is likely to remain weak and may take a generation or more to rebound, Yale economics professor Robert Shiller told Reuters Insider on Tuesday. Shiller, the co-creator of the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index, said a weak labor market, high gas prices and a general sense of unease among consumers was outweighing low mortgage rates and would likely keep a lid on prices for the foreseeable future...

THOMAS SOWELL — Around this time of year, I sometimes hear from parents who have been appalled to learn that the child they sent away to college to become educated has instead been indoctrinated with the creed of the Left. They often ask if I can suggest something to have their offspring read over the summer, in order to counteract this indoctrination... (more)

WORLDNETDAILY — Medical examiners in Los Angeles are investigating the possible poisoning death of one of their own officials who may have worked on the case of Andrew Breitbart, the conservative firebrand who died March 1, the same day Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced probable cause for forgery in President Obama's birth certificate...

FOX NEWS — A top EPA official has resigned after coming under scrutiny for 2010 remarks in which he compared the agency's enforcement strategy to Roman crucifixion.

R.T. NEARY — The authenticity of the birth certificate of one Barack Hussein Obama II has developed into a divisive issue -- with all sides of the argument being right. How could that be? Answer: Because it's a red herring. The certificate presented as proof of Hawaiian birth is in all probability a composite, but he may very well have been born in Hawaii... (more)

ROBERT KNIGHT — Barack Obama's 2006 best-seller, "The Audacity of Hope," gave us a number of clues as to how he would govern based on his worldview. We can't say we weren't warned. Amid the graceful prose, we see underlying hostility toward the idea of revealed truth (apart from his own). We also see an understanding of the Constitution as a sort of referee between interests instead of a binding fetter on government power... (more)

DAVID LIMBAUGH — Every day, we get a new kick in the gut from the Obama administration. Most recently, Environmental Protection Agency Region 6 Administrator Al Armendariz was caught on video articulating his view of the agency's role in enforcing its regulations. Armendariz said: "It was kind of like how the Romans used to, you know, conquer villages in the Mediterranean... (more)

MICHELLE MALKIN — One of President Obama's radical eco-bureaucrats has apologized for confirming an indelible truth: This White House treats politically incorrect private industries as public enemies who deserve regulatory death sentences. Environmental Protection Agency administrator Al Armendariz, an avowed greenie on leave from Southern Methodist University, gave a little-noticed speech in 2010 outlining his sadistic philosophy... (more)


April 28, 2012
NEWSMAX — Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said Friday that Congress may have to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for the Justice Department's slow response to a subpoena relating to the Fast and Furious gun running operation... (more)

DAILY CALLER — Under pressure from farming advocates in rural communities, and following a report by The Daily Caller, the Obama administration withdrew a proposed rule Thursday that would have applied child labor laws to family farms... (more)


April 28, 2012
FRANK GAFFNEY — Have you ever asked yourself why, despite more than 10 years of efforts --involving, among other things, the loss of thousands of lives in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, well over a trillion dollars spent, countless man-years wasted waiting in airport security lines and endless efforts to ensure that no offense is given to seemingly permanently aggrieved Muslim activists -- are we no closer to victory in the so-called "war on terror" than we were on 9/11?... (more)


April 26, 2012
WES VERNON, RA ANALYST — It is with a mixture of caution and fascination that one reviews a book by Michael Savage. Some toxic controversies in which he has been embroiled transcend his worldview (about which some have questioned)... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — The Obama administration is doing its utmost to promote the fortunes of the Islamist parties in Egypt. A State Department official declared that with the rise of these radical groups after the Arab Spring, "people who once might have gone into al Qaeda see an opportunity for a legitimate Islamism." They see this as a victory. The problem is, so do the terrorists... (more)


April 25, 2012
