The unfortunate education of James Foley. The recent death of reporter James Foley at the hands of ISIS and the past death of American ambassador Chris Stevens have an interesting similarity. Both men were known to be liberals, and some would even say they were educated in a radical liberal tradition. Writing in USA Today, David McKay ... MORE

Robert Klein Engler: A Worthless Sacrifice
The unfortunate education of James Foley. The recent death of reporter James Foley at the hands of ISIS and the past death of American ambassador Chris Stevens have an interesting similarity. Both men were known to be liberals, and some would even say they were educated in a radical liberal tradition. Writing in USA Today, David McKay ... MORENYC Mayor To Close City Schools For Muslim Holidays
Political correctness run amok. New York Mayor Bill De Blasio will close city schools for two Muslim holidays and the Lunar New Year. The New York Daily News reported: New York City is moving to close school for two Muslim holidays and the Lunar New Year — but Mayor de Blasio isn’t so sure about the Hindu festival Diwali. But he said he’d move ... MORELarry Elder: Political Correctness In A Gun-Free Zone
A deadly combination. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., after another mass shooting, predictably wasted no time in demanding still more gun control legislation. This week, a killer with a valid ID entered the Washington Navy Yard in southeast D.C., a military facility where 16,000 people -- mostly civilians -- work. He killed 12 people ... MOREWalter E Williams: Profiling
Understanding probability is useful. Police Capt. Louis Renault, played by Claude Rains in the 1942 movie "Casablanca," in the wake of the shooting of a Nazi officer, ordered his men to "round up the usual suspects." Was Renault engaging in some sort of profiling? He may have been, but what is profiling? Let's look at it. We can think of ... MOREObama's Benghazi Scapegoat Gets A Year Of Prison
Politically incorrect speech trumps free speech. The filmmaker behind an anti-Islam YouTube video that was initially blamed for sparking deadly protests in the Muslim world admitted today violating his probation and was sentenced to a year in federal prison. Mark Basseley Youssef, 55, who previously used the name Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, admitted ... MOREBenghazi A Barometer Of Obama's Incompetence
by Robert Maginnis. The Sept. 11, 2012 Benghazi, Libya terrorist attack left four Americans dead including our ambassador,
destroyed our consulate, compromised sensitive information, and made
America look weak. This story lingers because it is a barometer on
President Barack Obama’s competence. The Benghazi attack exposed Obama’s foreign policy ... MOREThomas Sowell: 'Cooling Out' The Voters
Playing the electorate as chumps. Confidence men know that their victim — "the mark" as he has been called — is eventually going to realize that he has been cheated. But it makes a big difference whether he realizes it immediately, and goes to the police, or realizes it after the confidence man is long gone. So part of the confidence racket is creating a ... MOREWhy Obama's Libya Actions Should Cost Him The Election
by Andrew Napolitano. The final presidential debate earlier this week was a tailor-made opportunity for Mitt Romney to rip into President Obama's inconsistent, value-free and at times incoherent foreign policy. And it was also an opportunity for the president to explain his administration's material misrepresentations on the murders of our ambassador and others ... MOREThomas Sowell: Libya And Lies
No profile in courage here. It was a little much when President Barack Obama said that he was
"offended" by the suggestion that his administration would try to
deceive the public about what happened in Benghazi. What has this man
not deceived the public about? Remember his pledge to cut the
deficit in half in his first term in office? This was followed by the ... MORELeft Wants Multiculturalism To Trump Free Speech
by Victor Davis Hanson. The American Left used to champion free expression. We were lectured --
correctly -- that the price of being repulsed by occasional crude talk
and art was worth paying. Only that way could Americans ensure our daily
right to criticize those with greater power and influence whom we found
wrong and objectionable. ... MORE
Expression Must Be Free Of Government Control
by Gene Policinski. I can say what I want, even if it offends you. And so can you. No American government official, high or low, federal, state or local, can silence our freedom of expression — whether it’s our views on politics, public issues or religious faith. If someone says something we don’t like, we can freely express ourselves in opposition, even if that ... MOREJacob Sullum: Slandering Muhammad Is Not A Crime
Pandering to Muslims at the expense of free speech. Addressing the U.N. General Assembly last week, President Obama
tried to explain this strange attachment that Americans have to
freedom of speech. He was handicapped by his attraction to a moral
principle whose dangers the journalist Jonathan Rauch presciently
highlighted in his 1993 book ... MORELee Harris: Stop Apologizing For Our Liberties
You cannot apologize to a fanatic. It only serves to convince him that he was right all along, and that is the last course the United States should be pursuing at this critical juncture of world history. The last few weeks have witnessed a peculiar and disturbing spectacle: An American administration that has spent a great deal of time and energy ... MOREMatt Welch: Obama's Weak Endorsement Of Free Speech
Shame on "those who slander the prophet of Islam." Today, President Barack Obama
delivered four pretty good paragraphs to the United Nations about
the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, and the
underlying principles of free speech and
tolerance-of-minority-viewpoints it reflects. In the
as-prepared transcript ... MORERobert Knight: Appeasement Trumps First Amendment
Submitting to mob censure whips up violence. I was driving into Washington the other day when a radio clip of Hillary Rodham Clinton got my attention. The secretary of state was emoting hotly, using terms such as “disgusting” and “reprehensible.” At first, I thought Bill Clinton
might have released a candid memoir, but I soon realized that the ... MORELeonard Pitts Jr.: Free Speech Is Not Negotiable
They are perhaps the most dangerous words ever written: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” ... MOREVIDEO: Pat Condell - A Word To Rioting Muslims
Let's just put it out on the front steps where the goats can get it.
Top Muslim Calls For U.N. To End Free Speech
Free thinking identified as an insult to Islam. One of the world’s most influential Muslims is now calling on the United Nations – in light of the YouTube movie blamed for violent protests across the Mideast – to impose international restrictions on free speech, criminalizing any statement that impugns Islam. Sheikh Abdullah Bin Bayyah, a ... MORE
