Setting the McCarthy Record Straight

Ronald Reagan was dismissed by the intelligentsia as just an actor who read speeches written by others until history professor Kiron Skinner discovered a box of Reagan's original radio scripts written in his own hand on ruled yellow paper from 1975 to 1979. Since he had no staff to research and write for him in those years, the scripts prove that Reagan was a one-man think-tank, well versed in political philosophy and history, fully capable of writing his own speeches.

Thousands Protest Roe V. Wade Decision, 1-23-08

Reclaiming the Constitution

Today, January 22, hundreds of thousands of demonstrators will march in front of the U.S. Supreme Court building as part of a day-long protest of the legally protected "right" of abortion created and decreed by said court 35 years ago today.

Another, perhaps smaller, number will demonstrate on the other side of the "abortion rights" controversy, standing in front of the same building, demanding that abortion remain "safe and legal." The irony will be lost on most demonstrators and perhaps even some of the justices inside. So many people, seeking either a change in the "law of the land" or wishing to preserve unaltered one of its provisions, will visibly direct their respective pleas to the judicial, rather than the legislative, branch of our government.

It reminds me of a cartoon I saw many yeas ago, in which a child comes home from school and informs his dumbfounded parents that "Today, we learned how the Supreme Court makes a law." Funny, huh? But the sad truth is that the Supreme Court has the Congress and the legislatures of 50 states straightjacketed in submission to a judicial tyranny that the anti-Federalists feared and Federalists could scarcely imagine at the beginning of our republic.

Do we need a pro-life president?

Pro-life voters are being pressured to sacrifice, or somehow downplay, their pro-life convictions in the current presidential race. The argument goes something like: There is little a president can do to limit abortion.

Don't buy it. And don't use it as an excuse to dismiss abortion in favor of issues you consider more important in choosing a president. Abortion may not be your top issue, or it may be equal with a couple of others. But in this wide-open nominating contest, we must be clear. The role of a president in protecting the sanctity of human life is large and growing.

Peru's President Lays Bare the Big Lie at the Center of U.S. Trade Policy, 1-08-08

Peru's President Lays Bare the Big Lie at the Center of U.S. Trade Policy

How depressing, but not surprising, that the most honest and useful statement made about U.S. trade policy this year has come from a foreign leader. Americans owe Peruvian President Alan Garcia a big “Thank you” for making crystal clear that even trade agreements with small countries like his are all about exporting American factories and jobs, not U.S. goods and services.

Garcia revealed that, in spite of globalization supporters’ promises to the contrary to Congress prior to each trade vote, the new trade deal between his country and the United States has nothing to do with increasing export opportunities for U.S. domestic producers and their workers, and everything to do with encouraging more offshoring of domestic production and jobs.
