Opinion: American Carriers Victim of Government Cronyism

Etihad is the sole airline that offers a direct route between the U.S. and Abu Dhabi International. Yet a host of American carriers, including United Airlines and Delta, fly direct from the U.S. to the UAE's most popular airport, Dubai International. 6 May 2013

McAuliffe Attacks Cuccinelli for Prosecuting Sexual Predators

As the court moved to overturn the statute, the Attorney General was in the midst of prosecuting the case of William Scott MacDonald, a 47-year old man who had solicited a 17-year old girl to perform sex acts. Only the anti-sodomy statute allows sexual predators like MacDonald to be charged with a felony – if the statue were overturned, sex with a minor over the age of 15 could only be handled as a misdemeanor under current Virginia law. 8 Apr 2013

Jimmy Carter's Libel Israel Week

Some politically correct colleges in America and Western Europe observe something they call “Israel Apartheid Week.” It’s another opportunity to libel Israel for building a defensive perimeter to keep out Arab suicide bombers. 18 Mar 2013

Obama Admin Argues for Same-Sex Parenthood at SCOTUS

"The results of the NFSS [National Family Structures Study] research revealed that the 'no differences' claim—the claim that children raised by parents in gay or lesbian relationships fared no worse and in some cases better than children raised by intact biological parents—was not true.

President Obama's Covert Zeal for Abortion

Abraham Lincoln in 1854 spoke of the “covert zeal” of President Franklin Pierce and Sen. Steven A. Douglas for the spread of slavery. These leading Democrats never said they were in favor of slavery. They simply viewed the right of whites to choose slavery for blacks as a “sacred principle of self government.” Lincoln abhorred this subterfuge. 23 Jul 2012

Is the Star-Spangled Banner an “Abomination”?

Talk show host, Bill Press, doesn’t like the Star-Spangled Banner. Imagine: a liberal talk show that’s not on NPR! His radio show is simulcast on Current TV. Bill Press likes provoking conservatives, but I’m not sure we should be provoked by his outburst against the National Anthem. 12 Jun 2012

The Fate of Syria's Christian Minority

Four years ago, Israeli “dove” Avi Primor cooed over the prospects for a comprehensive peace settlement in the Mideast . The “key” to peace, wrote Israel ’s former Ambassador to Germany, lies in Damascus. Amb. Primor wrote if Israel would only agree to give up the Golan Heights she had captured in the 1967 Six-Day War, Syria might yet come around to accept the existence of the Jewish state and break its dependence on the mullahs in Iran. Hope soared on the wings of a dove. 6 Jun 2012

Walker Walks the Talk; Obama Talks

In 2007, Obama told a South Carolina crowd, "[I]f American workers are being denied their right to organize when I'm in the White House, I will put on a comfortable pair of shoes and I will walk on that picket line with you as president of the United States." Yet when reporters asked White House Press Secretary Jay Carney when the President would visit Wisconsin, the spokesman blandly replied Mr. Obama had “no current plans” to enter the fray. 5 Jun 2012
