D.C. v. Heller: Gun Bans Found To Be Unconstitutional (Again)
 General 
John Longenecker
The Supreme Court of The United States announced that it was overturning the Washington, D.C. Gun Ban and affirming lower court’s ruling against D.C. But does this affect gun laws around the country? It should, as 80 Million gun owners invoke the law while handfuls of officials were found to break it.

General
Alan Caruba
In late April, AccuWeather.com, led by Joe Bastardi, its chief meteorologist, issued a news release that was, to be kind, pure mush. The early warning forecast for 2008’s June to November hurricane season said that conditions like La Nina and a “continued warm water cycle in the Atlantic Basin” held forth the “chance for U.S. landfalling storms.”

There’s A Hole In The Bucket!
General
J.J. Jackson
Perhaps as a child you once sang a fun little ditty about a hapless man, named Henry, and his beloved, named Liza. See, this song is about a problem Henry has. His bucket has a hole in it so it is pretty much useless. But instead of handling the problem himself, he runs to ask Liza what he should do.

Our Nation, Our Military, Our Mission
General
Alan Caruba
Americans know that we have troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, but I suspect they have little idea that nearly a half-million of our soldiers, marines, airmen, sailors and coast guard are in far-flung places prepared to deter and defeat the enemies of, not just our nation, but of the freedom we enjoy and want to extend worldwide.

FedEx-cess: Inviting In the Big, Bad Government Wolf
General
Chuck Muth
We all know a few bad apples can spoil the whole barrel. And never is this saying truer than when it comes to a rogue company or industry abusing its privileges, thereby inviting the government to stick its nose even further into the business of business. Think Enron, and the resulting compliance nightmare known as Sarbanes-Oxley. Or just ponder the red-tape regulation-palooza headed the mortgage industry’s way this year.

The Christmas Gift in the Battleground Poll
General
Bruce Walker
Just in time for Christmas, conservatives have been given another gift: we are the overwhelming majority of America. This is not “news.” I have written an article about the Battleground Poll every time a Battleground Poll has come out since June 2002. The results are always the same: people who call themselves either “conservative” or “very conservative” constitute the overwhelming majority of all Americans.

‘China Bans Bibles from Olympics?’
General
Sher Zieve
In another move that both infuriates and attempts to suppress Christianity, China is reported to have officially banned Bibles - for athletes - from the 2008 Olympics. The Bible was included on a “prohibited items list” prepared by the Chinese government and distributed to athletes who intend to participate in the China-hosted Olympics. Under penalty of Chinese law, Bibles may not be brought into the Olympic village. Interestingly, no ban applies or has ever applied to the Muslim Quran. Apparently, Islam and all of its practices are still to be allowed. Also, apparently (although the secular and decidedly anti-Christian mainstream press did not report this story), China heard about the uproar caused by its actions from the new media and is now denying they occurred. China has now declared that athletes will be allowed to bring Bibles into the Olympic Village if they are “exclusively for personal use.”

Thanksgiving: A Most Selfish Holiday
General
Debi Ghate
Ah, Thanksgiving. To most of us, the word conjures up images of turkey dinner, pumpkin pie and watching football with family and friends. It kicks off the holiday season and is the biggest shopping weekend of the year. We’re taught that Thanksgiving came about when pilgrims gave thanks to God for a bountiful harvest. We vaguely mumble thanks for the food on our table, the roof over our head and the loved ones around us. We casually think about how lucky we are and how much better our lives are than, say, those in Bangladesh. But surely there is something more to celebrate, something more sacred about this holiday.

Fascism was Always Leftist
General
Bruce Walker
Don Feder, a brilliant conservative commentator, posted an article recently which calls for a “Left Fascism Awareness Week.” The article (well worth reading) describes just how totalitarian academia and other institutions of our society have become. Everything Feder writes about is valuable and true, and I have only one problem with his article: Fascism has always been on what we have come to call the “Left.”

The “Race Card” in an Unexpected Place
General
Kevin Roeten
To date, the real “Race Card” has not been played. But because this one is bona fide, it can alter the upcoming presidential election. So many race cards are phony, and ooze of past pressure to keep Blacks in one party. But few Blacks talk about this one. It’s authentically a race card. And, it makes a huge difference in elections. Have you heard any race card used with “abortion”?

Satan Takes a Little Nap After Dr. D. James Kennedy Passes Away
General
Doug Giles
This week the church lost one of its great generals, Dr. D. James Kennedy. Kennedy, senior Pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, chancellor of Knox Theological Seminary, founder of Evangelism Explosion (and a stack of other ministries), made Satan more frustrated than Ted Nugent would be watching Dianne Feinstein attempt to shatter the Guinness Book of World Records’ longest break dance.

A New Twist In The Bell Curve
General
James T. Moore
If you are one of the few people in the universe who never heard of the Bell Curve, you have been missing the race rumble of the century. The Bell Curve, a provocative, highly-researched, 845-page tome by Charles Murray and the late Richard J.Hernstein, purports to take the human psyche apart and prove, allegedly, that the races are not equal in intellectual capacity.

Our Government - A Political Cesspool
General
Tom Segel
Harlingen, Texas, August 30, 2007: Forget the political pundits, the national talking heads and a completely failed media. When it comes to those who fill the ranks of our senior national leadership we have little to choose from. The hallowed halls of the nation’s capitol are filled with nothing but flawed politicos who don’t deserve to head up a local sanitation department, let alone a position of national prestige.

Pledge of Allegiance Written By A Raving Socialist!
General
Gordon Bishop
My colleague Paul Mulshine, who writes a column for the Newark Star-Ledger, New Jersey’s largest newspaper where I worked for 27 years, did some research on the American flag and its “Pledge” and was surprised to find that a socialist who would have wiped out the American way of life by the year 200 wrote our patriotic recitation.

The Two Surges
General
Bruce Walker
Although it is now all but conceded that the military surge in Iraq is working and that al-Qaeda is no longer welcome among the otherwise feuding groups of Sunni, Shia and Kurds that make up Iraq, that surge is only part of the very good news in Iraq and in the Middle East. Recall back when the war in Iraq began? What was the big issue on every pundit’s mind? America, except for Britain and a few smaller countries, was going it alone.
