STEPHEN STONE, RA PRESIDENT — Back in October, we ran an article at RenewAmerica titled "The ultimate conspiracy" – which I wrote to warn voters that conspiratorial communists never tend to give up their power willingly, even if they lose a sham election... (more)

WES VERNON, RA ANALYST — For three years -- including the full length of the 2012 election cycle -- members of Tea Party groups and other conservative voices were silenced -- unable to mix it up in the political give and take. They were effectively shut up every bit as much as if a Soviet-style regime had reached out and warned them, "Ve haf vays of re-educating you, Citizen."... (more)

ALAN KEYES — Among politicians and pundits who identify with the GOP, there are many who pay lip-service to the U.S. Constitution. Yet when push comes to shove, they seem disposed by all means to avoid implementing its provisions. But left unused, the constitutional provisions intended to enable exercise of the just powers of the body politic waste away... (more)

SCOTT LIVELY — Many pundits are weighing in on the decision by the Boy Scouts of America to allow open homosexuality into the organization. I, for one, am not surprised. The very fact that the leadership organized a vote on the question instead of simply standing firm on its existing policy, which was backed by a large majority of scouting parents and a US Supreme Court victory no less, told me all I needed to know...

REBECCA HAGELIN — Details about the Benghazi debacle continue to emerge -- in spite of the Obama administration's stonewalling. The implications of whistleblower testimony are troubling, to say the least... (more)

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — Two plus two equals five. I mean, I really want it to be five. So let's just pretend it's five and, before you know it, it'll be five. After all, we are the ones (or is it the fives?) we've been waiting for. My narrow-minded opponents, stuck in the mathematics of a bygone time, would have us make a false choice between elementary addition and our values... (more)

JOSEPH FARAH — Roger Ailes, for whom I have great admiration, wrote a touching letter to his colleagues at his Fox News Channel following the revelation the FBI had seized the phone records of his employees in a fishing expedition over leaks by the federal government. This followed, of course, the disclosure the Justice Department had done the same with employees of the Associated Press, the largest news-gathering organization in the world... (more)

NEWSMAX — MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry is comparing the ongoing hunger strike of terrorist suspects held at the Guantanamo Bay detention center to the ordeal suffered by slaves in America. "This is the time to reaffirm our Americanness," Harris-Perry said on her Saturday morning program on MSNBC... (more)

NEWSMAX — Lawyers fighting to overturn California's same-sex marriage ban are telling state leaders to be ready for the U.S. Supreme Court to dismiss the case on a technicality. What that would mean is unclear. Voters passed Proposition 8 in November 2008, six months after a state Supreme Court ruling allowed same-sex marriages, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday...

CLIFF KINCAID — Dan Rather used to say, "Courage," when he was on his way out. Shannon Bream of Fox News says their watchword is "fearless." Give me a break. Fox News has been anything but fearless. Fox News Chief Roger Ailes says, "We will not allow a climate of press intimidation, unseen since the McCarthy era, to frighten any of us away from the truth."... (more)

PETER LABARBERA — May 23, 2013, was a sad day for the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and another tragic day for an America in decline. The Scouts' corporate-driven leaders in their folly put sexual morality up for a vote, and when it was all over, the Scouts as we once knew them -- a God-fearing, wholesome organization -- were finished...

MICHELLE MALKIN — Gird your loins, America. President Obama intends to empty out Guantanamo Bay and send scores of suspected Muslim terrorist operatives back to their jihadist-coddling native countries. Goaded by antiwar activists and soft-on-terror attorneys (including those from Attorney General Eric Holder's former private law firm), Obama announced Thursday that he'll lift a ban on sending up to 90 Yemeni detainees home and will initiate other stalled transfers out of the compound...

POLITICO — How is President Barack Obama like the Lone Ranger? MAD Magazine is having its say on the matter, featuring the president -- in spoof form-- as the masked, Old West ranger on the cover of its latest issue. (The Lone Ranger was a 1930s radio show that became a television program and comic series. Most recently, it was made into a movie, coming outin July.)... (more)

WAYNE PERRY — The Boy Scouts of America is part of the fabric of this nation. Our focus is on working together to deliver the nation's foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training. Somehow, Scouting has become one of the focal points in the debate on homosexuality. However, it is not the role of the Boy Scouts to resolve this complex issue, nor can the decision we will make today... (more)

ALAN KEYES — Whatever Obama, Hilary Clinton, Susan Rice, and other Obama faction officials were seeking to achieve with their lies about the terrorist murders of U.S. officials in Benghazi; whatever the full extent of the ideologically motivated political abuses at the IRS, one thing is clear...

FRED HUTCHISON, RA ANALYST — In 1921, Karel Capek wrote the play RUR (Rossum's Universal Robots), about machines that became intelligent and turned against their human masters. The 1984 Hollywood movie The Terminator was based upon the same theme. Intelligent machines, both malevolent and friendly, are standard fare in science fiction, of which Star Wars (1977) and the The Matrix (1999) are perfect examples... (more)

CLIFF KINCAID — Jeffrey Lord's story in the American Spectator about a "smoking gun" in the IRS scandal has backfired. He implied that the head of the IRS union had personally met with President Obama to plot against the Tea Party when there is no evidence of such a meeting or such plotting... (more)
