ALAN KEYES — Merry Christmas, Dear Friend, In this blessed Christmas season and as 2012 comes to a close, I can't help but think of you and the many God-honoring patriots whose loyal and often sacrificial support makes our good work possible. Through you, God continues to bless our various projects at RenewAmerica, the Declaration Alliance, and our PACs — and I praise His touch upon your heart... (more)

ALAN KEYES — Hollywood's champions of leftist cant are the very people most likely to clamor for gun control. Yet the industry they serve and profit from pollutes the world with myriad strange images of senseless, vengeful murder -- in movies, TV shows, video games, comic books, etc. Like Adam Lanza (who glutted himself upon their offal), the so-called entertainment industry is pre-occupied with vengeful killing...

Ronald Reagan, Dec. 15, 1983

WASHINGTON TIMES — Christmas is a time for giving, and as we reach out to family and friends, I hope we'll also open our hearts to those who are lonely and in need, citizens less fortunate than ourselves, brave soldiers working to preserve peace from the tip of Alaska to the shores of Lebanon, to the DMZ in Korea, families maintaining a constant vigil for their missing in action...

CLIFF KINCAID — An honest account of media misinformation after the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy has to take into account Rupert Murdoch's tweet about the need to ban "automatic weapons," when none was used to kill any of the 26 people. Can the chairman of News Corporation, the parent of Fox News, be this ignorant about the nature of gun laws and guns in America?... (more)

JOSEPH FARAH — Those of us who grew up in more innocent times have noticed that each year, especially for the last decade or so, Christmas becomes more controversial. When I was a kid, that was unthinkable. No one said "happy holidays" for fear of offending. Public schools celebrated Christmas without fear. Retailers understood where their bread was buttered -- with the 96 percent of the country that celebrated Christmas, not the winter solstice... (more)

PHILIP KLEIN — The Boston Globe has a long piece out today telling the story of how Mitt Romney lost the presidential election. An excerpt: "Rich Beeson, the Romney political director who co­authored the now-discredited Ohio memo, said that only after the election did he realize what Obama was doing with so much manpower on the ground. Obama had more than 3,000 paid workers nationwide, compared with 500 for Romney, and hundreds of thousands of volunteers... (more)

HUMAN EVENTS — It's not about jobs. It's not about safety. It's not about improving dockworkers' living standards. The looming, long-planned East and Gulf Coast port strikes are about protecting Big Labor's archaic work practices and corrupt waterfront rackets... (more)

ROBERT KNIGHT — With the "fiscal cliff" looming, Washington is looking under every rock for new forms of "revenue." Nothing appears sacred, not even mortgage and charitable deductions, which some are recasting as "loopholes." Ending the mortgage deduction when the housing market is finally showing signs of recovery would be like giving a cancer patient strychnine to make him feel better... (more)

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — When your dissolute political establishment sinks to the point of being fit for lectures from Chinese Communists on spending restraint, and from erstwhile Soviet revanchists on foreign-affairs modesty, you are at rock bottom. Welcome to Washington... (more)

ALAN KEYES — If and when the U.S. Congress purports to legislate in response to the Newtown, Conn., school massacre, I have no doubt that they will do so irresponsibly and incompetently. Their first sworn duty is to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States." But these days they invariably treat their oath as an irrelevant formality... (more)

MICHELLE MALKIN — In the aftermath of the horrific Newtown, Conn., school massacre, Americans from all parts of the political spectrum agree that we need to pay more attention to mental health issues. Public death threats and incitements to violence must be taken seriously. The incendiary witch hunt against law-abiding, peaceful gun owners is neither noble nor effective. It's just plain insane...
