ALAN KEYES — "So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." (President Franklin Roosevelt's First Inaugural Address)... (more)

FRED HUTCHISON, RA ANALYST — Those who believe that man has an innate nature and design generally oppose abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, stem-cell research, and cloning, because these things are contrary to nature and the value of life. Those who follow the prevailing ideas of the science establishment generally are in favor of abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, etc., and are part of a gathering culture of death. Why is this?... (more)

JOSEPH FARAH — Sometimes you have to get away from your country for a little while to get a little perspective on what's happening. While I spend a little time this week in the center of the world, I can't help but think about the fate of my country. With practically all debate and discussion in the U.S. dominated by the recent election, guns, money and liberty, I have found four quotes from historical figures that, I believe, explain the throes of freedom's extinction facing America...

ASSOCIATED PRESS — Officials in a small Utah town want to make sure every head of household has a firearm and knows how to use it, and they want to give school teachers training with guns too.

WORLDNETDAILY — While concern has mounted that former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel's nomination to be secretary of defense should be blocked because of past expressed hostility for Israel, little attention has been given to CIA-nominee John Brennan's view of Islam... (more)

PAUL A. BYRNE, M.D. — Life on earth continues until true death. Prior to the desire to get organs for transplantation, no one was declared dead with a beating heart, circulation, or breathing. Every organ for transplantation is taken from a living person. Would anyone with common sense believe that a cadaver, a dead body, would have organs that could be transplanted?... (more)

GARY BAUER — In two weeks, America will mark the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision creating a constitutional right to abortion and legalizing most abortions. Much will be written about the consequences of that decision.

JOSEPH FARAH — Today I am staying in a kibbutz guest house on the Sea of Galilee -- the first day of weeklong trip to the Holy Land. I haven't been here since 1991.

JONAH GOLDBERG — It's official. President Obama has named former senator Chuck Hagel (R., Neb.) as his nominee for secretary of defense. Hence, we may be in store for the worst defense-secretary-nomination fight since George H. W. Bush's failed appointment of Senator John Tower (R., Texas) more than 20 years ago... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — The Washington think tank overseen by President Obama's defense secretary-designate predicts that Iran one day will be a "natural partner" for the United States and could possess nuclear weapons. It also puts the onus on Israel to make peace with Palestinians, many of whom are governed by Hamas, an Iran-backed terrorist group bent on the destruction of the Jewish state... (more)

MICHELLE MALKIN — Egypt's terror-coddling president, Mohamed Morsi, has repeated his arrogant demand that America free convicted 1993 World Trade Center mastermind Omar Abdel Rahman. I'd like to report that President Obama repeated his unequivocal rejection of the Muslim Brotherhood leader's entreaties. But as of this writing, no such public statement or restatement yet exists...

THOMAS SOWELL — Many years ago, as a young man, I read a very interesting book about the rise of the Communists to power in China. In the last chapter, the author tried to explain why and how this had happened. Among the factors he cited were the country's educators. That struck me as odd, and not very plausible, at the time. But the passing years have made that seem less and less odd, and more and more plausible... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — Technologies advanced as the solution to the purported global warming problem are catching fire -- just not in the way intended.
