Says the book is "inherently flawed" -- and needs to be amended. More

From Trek to Floyd to century-old popular novels, you just can't escape from the dilemmas of the 21st century. More

Gold doesn't tarnish; it's immutable, permanent. In an ever-changing world where everything is fading, gold's permanence is attractive. But we wouldn't prize it if it were plentiful. America once based her currency on gold precisely because it is rare. More

If no deal is struck and we go over this so-called "fiscal cliff" we'll wake up fully intact on 1/1/2013 but aware that paychecks will be smaller and life will get much tougher once the economy worsens. More

Scientism is not science. It is an ideology that is often confused with science. It is, rather, an abuse of the scientific method and scientific authority. More

Enabling foreign nationals to vote in Illinois allowed the Democrats to manipulate not just local and state elections, but the presidential election as well. More

As for religious liberty, liberals like Supreme Court judge Sonia Sotomayor, rather than uphold religious liberty, facilitate Barack Obama's effort to redefine the free exercise clause of the First Amendment. More

With much of the Middle East in the hands of Islamists, the future of Middle Eastern Christians is a grim one. More

Of all laws that are deemed to have their origin in nature, the Law of Self-Preservation is indeed the most fundamental. The use of a firearm has irrevocably changed the dynamic relationship between both predator and victim. More

Presidential candidate slobbering among the media notwithstanding, there is much work for conservatives to do between now and 2014. That's right -- it's time to concentrate on the midterms. More

Joining a host of other defectors, most of whom cite the Assad government's atrocities against its own people as the reason for their flight. More

Putting aside the issue of whether our foreign creditors will get antsy and interest rates will climb, if the entirety of our debt were held by fellow Americans, it would still reduce the net wealth of future generations. More

The best thrillers are the ones based on facts. Finder seemed to have a crystal ball, predicting how the hardliner regime would eventually resume power at a time when many people thought the "bad-guys" were defeated. More

I carried a gun in New York City for more than a decade -- back when there were thousands of murders a year and the Bronx led the nation in killings. On at least 4 occasions, that gun saved my life, and in a couple of instances, the lives of people who were with me. More

A dog whistle makes a sound or sends a command that only a canine can hear. A rhetorical dog whistle is a coded message for select listeners, usually the politically correct. More

This Christmas, Santa Claus delivered what is likely the biggest lump of foreign policy coal that any U.S. president has ever received in his stocking: Barack Obama's "reset" policy with Russia collapsed almost as spectacularly as did the USSR. More

The MSM's focus on the cliff gives Obama, their hero, economic cover, since the cliff story is the economic story and not the terrible economic results occurring weekly and monthly. More

As a conservative, I have been disappointed that so many within my ranks continue to advocate for a continuation of the status quo, rather than sensible alternatives. More

Jews across America are raising a hue and cry over Chuck Hagel as secretary of defense -- but they are ignoring the malign influence John Kerry will have at State. More

It is a "damned if you do and damned if you don't" predicament for employers -- who themselves should be considered a "protected class" given the battering they receive from the federal government. More

The good news is that science evidence has made it quite clear that the human contribution to a possible global warming is minor; in fact it cannot even be identified in the data record. The bad news is that the media and politicians pay no attention whatsoever to the science More

The NRA president's solution to school massacres won't work, but for a reason that will make gun control advocates apoplectic -- namely, it doesn't go far enough. More

The short answer is yes. The "why" requires cutting through a lot of political smoke and mirrors. More

It might be worth considering the possibility that Boehner has been crazy like the proverbial fox in his dealings with Obama. More

For reasons that most of us in the American Thinker community and observers such as Thomas Sowell find inexplicable, the Republicans simply will not make the budget case in public. More

Now that the Affordable Health Care Act is set to go into its actual, real-world administration, we are about to learn the true meaning of cost. More

Unarmed parent patrols can be the answer to stopping school shootings. By making a place, such as a school, much less of a soft target, potential attackers will have more factors to consider in carrying out their plans. More

The reason the Second Amendment was included in the founding documents was to ensure that the people could meet the threat of a standing army. Its writers knew from history that a standing army serves only the government, not the people. More

Perhaps we should recognize that we cannot ensure a perfect utopia void of all risk in a free society. We can, however, help mitigate a lot of the risks by protecting freedom. More

The "fiscal cliff" is more like a mountainous landscape, with slopes, falls, rapids, and precipices. The United States has found itself lost in the mountains, surrounded by dangers, and it needs to navigate a path back to safety. More

"Teacher." That word, in any language, has a kind of magic, as captured so perfectly by St. John. May we rediscover that magic in the coming year. More

Heroes do not come in capes and cowls. Often they wear broken shoes and threadbare pants as they arise before dawn to return home at dusk; and they are as mundane to those who are ill-equipped to really see their heroics as birds upon a wire. More

Belgium's progressive thinkers wish to extend euthanasia to minors and Alzheimer's sufferers, thereby tightening the noose - so to speak - in the thriving Industry of Death that's taken hold in Europe and North America. More

Is it worth a come-see? Assuredly. By the fanatic long lines even late at night, this is the pic to see. And probably 90% went out satisfied. But is it all that? More

Christmas is a time of giving -- a time when even those folks who aren't really well-off make an effort to help others. The question is, who in our society is really charitable? More

It's December 6th, 1941. War wages in Europe and America is struggling through a Depression, but there is still innocence and hope in American hearts. Life is going on as usual, and neighbors are helping neighbors. More

An updated version of an AT Classic More

Two new books demonstrate what is wrong in Afghanistan...and what is right with America. More

Christmas has always been rife with controversy -- perhaps because those in opposition refuse to grasp the meaning of the holiday. More

"Keynesian Economics" is the insane belief that the economy can be stimulated by government spending. It provides the excuse to depart from common sense that allows politicians to ignore the alarm bells. It is ludicrous. More

The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra is now using student choral groups as racial props to garnish their stage with students who are more diverse than the members of the orchestra will ever be. This is cynical racial tokenism. More

What "costs" more than all the doctors, the drugs, hospital admissions, and wheelchairs combined? Answer: the regulatory healthcare bureaucracy, mostly Federal government but the States as well and more so for those who set up healthcare exchanges. More

The GOP should give up on trying to negotiate with the President. He shows no interest in doing anything but portraying them as the party of the rich. The GOP should instead turn their attention on post-cliff strategy. More

As the debate rages, budding "Adam Lanza copycats" simmer. People with sick minds feed on each other -- and on the media coverage their actions generate! The longer we wait to act, the more likely they will act. More

The power of hope and love is stronger than all the tragedy we've been handed this Christmas season. More

With Christmas upon us, I want to get away from the "kids these days" cliché and defend today's young people. More

The Left has always had a problem with Foreign Minister Lieberman, and it is not just political ideology. He started a political career from nothing and turned his party into the second strongest in Israel. More

Perhaps evil is the dominant overwhelming force; the good a rare blossom, a fleeting petal fall. Is evil so powerful, so pervasive that even God struggles with its subjugation? More

What is the core source of the dysfunction in human nature resulting in children being psychologically hurt and needing to embrace this deluded state as adults? Is it genetic, is it environmental, or is it something else again? More

It's that time of year again. 'T'is the season to be jolly -- or, if you're an atheist activist, to throw a wet blanket over the holidays. More

Even a child can learn the great virtues do not exist unless Evil is acknowledged and confronted. Without the battle, where would be courage? Without suffering where would be compassion? More

That's what it's going to take to make any progress whatsoever on this fiscal cliff situation. More

We hear this same plaintive cry following every monstrous evil. Where was God in the massacre? In truth, He has been where he has always been: at the Doors of Men's hearts knocking to gain entrance. More

A holiday surprise devoid of scatology. Tthere is nothing you couldn't show to your maiden church-going aunt. A compelling new thriller. More

In the world of cost-benefit analysis for environmental regulation, President Reagan learned a hard lesson. More

Liberals might think twice before really trying to get what they wish for. More

Sometimes "settled science" has a way of turning out to be a complete fraud. And no, this is not about global warming -- at least not primarily. More

You'd think an industry that depends on reading would clamor for literacy among its customer base. But the American newspaperman has bigger fish to fry...at last as long as he can afford to fry anything. More

A nearly 10-year-long legal battle against the feds - all to keep them from regulating a museum's resident cats More

Unfortunately, violent tactics have a long, historic connection to both Democrats and unions. Though if you grew up going to a unionized public school, there's a good chance that you've never heard of this. More

Varying official European responses to the release of The Innocent Prophet once again demonstrate the increasingly notable differences in sensitivity accorded to Islam and other faiths such as Christianity. More

After nearly two decades of service to our great nation, service in which I have been repeatedly placed in positions of significant public trust, exposed myself to injury (or death), and withstood numerous intrusive background investigations, why am I a threat? More

Do the "we know best" government bureaucrats who birthed ObamaCare think doctors will simply stay still in the wake of this beast? More

I have been a resident of Newtown for over 30 years, save for a few years in the 1990s. On behalf of all us, I beg the media: Please go away. The healing will begin, but not until the news trucks and reporters shoving microphones in our faces go away. More

The impulse to exploit a school shooting remains an irresistible temptation for our friends on the left. More

When an event such as the Newtown Massacre occurs, we are told how to speak with our children to prevent traumatizing them. But it is we, the adults, who are drinking of the soporific of constant review, reformulation, and rehash to sooth our troubled souls. More

Trying to persuade establishment Republicans that he's serious about what they're serious about: playing the Democrats' game, somewhat, by addressing as important an issue that is a straw man's straw man. More

Those seeking the "root causes" of the massacre at Sandy Hook need to look deeper than simple calls for gun control will allow. More

Which is the greatest priority in public education, teaching our children, or fulfilling a teacher's selfish interests? More

The reality is that there is no culture war. What is occurring now is a pacification effort. Some conservatives sense this, but the reality is often too frightening to contemplate. More

The bullet ridden bodies of those little angels and angelic teachers in Newtown should show us that wishful thinking won't work, has never worked and will never work. If it did, we'd only have to wish those children back. More

For a nation of Obama zombies, disobedience is starting to fall out of fashion. More

The concentrated campaign against fracking is coming from so many different places now that one can't help but suspect ulterior motives among the players. More

Whom does the Obama administration support now...and whom will it support tomorrow? More

For the Senate to approve Barack Obama's all-but-certain pick for secretary of defense would be a disaster for U.S.-Israel relations. More

While America was founded by the antithesis of peasants, liberals have been working to reestablish the peasant class because liberals view themselves as the modern nobility; wiser, kinder, more knowing than the folk in flyover country. More

There is probably no more mindless concentration today than the concentration of children in government schools. And as any general could tell you, strategic concentration can easily lead to disaster. More

The enemies of the Second Amendment have to lie because the truth is simply not on their side, but this still leaves us with an unanswered question. What would have stopped Adam Lanza from murdering 26 innocent people? More

It is possible that Islam can reform itself. But liberal collusion with Islamist warlords will not make it so. Surrender will not help. Phony pacifism will be laughed at by war cults every single time. More

The presidential election of 2012 has guaranteed that ObamaCare will not be repealed anytime soon. What are our options going forward? More

A modern form of slavery has been embedded within the welfare state. And no matter how you slice it, property theft to promote a false ideology of "fairness" or advance a twisted form of "compassion" to gain power is abhorrent. More

The universes of Tolkien and Lewis touch a spot in our hearts, not because of a one-dimensional black and white depiction of Good and Evil, but because they ring true in excavating the subtlety of what drives evil. More

Any politician who hopes to speak on the gun control issue should be obligated to answer a few basic questions. More

You may be hearing about the automatic tax increases in the fiscal cliff, plus additional tax increases President Obama may force, but you won't hear much about liberalism's most powerful, and silent, redistribution tool: inflation. More

The superstar quarterback of the Washington Redskins is starting to discover how tough things can be for blacks who are not "authentic." More

Obama's "fairness" argument upends the core presumption of a free economy -- that people are entitled to the wealth they earn by their labor -- in favor of a presumption that wealth, however earned, is a collective resource. More

Too many Palestinians dead and not enough Jews means another 'war crime' for Israel to fend off. More

We have seen in the so-called "Arab Spring" (perhaps really another "Arab autumn") that whereas there may be elections, one component of democracy, they have not been accompanied by recognition of the rights of minorities. More

Our Founders looked through Greek, Roman, and biblical authors to find general principles to guide them as they set up this nation and instilled in it a genetic code. So should we. More

When a people has lost its character, how long can we expect a nation ruled by those same people to prosper? More

The president wants capitulation from Republicans -- unconditional surrender -- with a public signing of accords on the deck of the U.S.S. Missouri (or maybe on Warren Buffet's yacht moored somewhere on the Potomac). More

Capuano the great compromiser dismisses the Ryan Budget and the "proposal recently offered by Speaker Boehner" out of hand, accusing them of "essentially abolishing Medicare as we know it." More

The key to understanding why public and private sector labor are combined by the media reports is to realize that there are three major groups of labor, and that the Democrats created all three. More

Not to confront the real ideological roots of Islamic Jihad, especially its well-documented connection to its Nazi anti-Semitic origins, stymies any Western push for political, economic, or cultural modernization of the Muslim world. More

The Federal Reserve chairman is betting the country on a pet theory that's not working. More

Why do parents willingly send their own children -- their own future -- to socialist reeducation camps? "From my cold, dead hands," they proudly say of their guns. Are not their children worthy of at least so strong a grip? More

France is now presented with a choice, and frankly, it is not so dissimilar to our own. The problem is that both options lead to disaster. More

In the process of continuing resolutions, someone came to the realization that, if the government can live on temporarily without a budget, it can live on forever without one. That's Obama's big enabler. More

When we talk of people pushing their way to the front of the line, we're not usually referring to the donor line. More

We have a new beginning today and I want the American people to know that everything is on the table. And I do mean everything. We have an ambitious term planned.... More

Short of turning America into Stalin's police state and confiscating all the wealth of the "evil" one percent, the predictable behavior of this economic class very much revolves around the tax policies of the government. More

Obama's politics of bitterness and envy just won an election. Perhaps the failure of his policies based on the same can save a nation. More

Why do Progressives get so angry and vicious when you challenge any of their tenets? You are not disagreeing with them over policy. You are attacking the core of their religion, More

President Obama has cast off his duties as a world leader, leaving the nations of the Middle East in utter, deadly disarray. More

It is ironic that the month in which the world celebrates the most inconvenient and unplanned birth in history is also the month in which the court began its ignominious descent into preventing such births. More

A good time to reflect on what protects us from succumbing to (or ourselves becoming) monsters. More

You're not going to want to know the answer. More

George Wallace used to say, "There's not a dime's worth of difference between the Republicans and Democrats." Of course there's a difference between the Republicans and Democrats -- almost a dime's worth. More

Our Founders knew that centralization of power was the cause of the decline and decay of both Greece and Rome. Congress has never been able to regain the power the Founders expected it to have. More

Unequal favoritisms and infringements of free speech are damaging in multiple ways to a free society. Suppression of debate and discussion of religious beliefs weakens the intellectual scrutiny these topics deserve. More

We'll never have firm footing from which to win elections if we continue to cede the culture to the left. With Republicans controlling the governments of half the states, we can finally take a stand. More

Our First Amendment is under assault from all sides -- left and right. It is high time that we realize that free speech is not merely for those with whom we agree; but primarily for those we detest. More

Russia Beyond the Headlines is funded by the Kremlin and it has a clear mission: create an alternate reality, and focus on trying to convince unwary Westerners that Russia is benign. More

Despite common misconceptions, modern Islamic Fascism was not born during the 1960s, but during the 1930s. Its rise was not inspired by the failure of Nasserism in Egypt, but by the rise of Nazism in Germany. More

In short, a lot of retired teachers are in effect millionaires. More

The progressive seeks to nationalize the slave industry. This is the literal meaning of his demands for confiscatory tax rates, redistribution of wealth, hyper-regulation of industry, and government control of health care and education. More

The big Republican ideas of the last forty years not only do not work for us, they have turned against us and are actually working to defeat us. So what do we do? More

Divisive conversation on "Fairness" and motivational phrases such as "We can't wait," "Vote for revenge," "You didn't build that," and "Punish your enemies" were addressed to those whom the campaign already knew would answer "I do" to the question, "Who goes Obama?" More

A testament to the media's all-encompassing anti-Israel bias...albeit in an unexpected place. More

A quick review of the state of matters in the Middle East shows that the Arab Spring has been a gigantic flop, a diplomatic Solyndra in which for ill-considered ideological reasons we poured a lot into a cause that was hopeless from the outset. More

What I learned about the decadence of the American education system, and where we're headed. More

How could a Christian faith so unified with other denominations all across the country vote so consistently to outlaw its own historical and religious values? More

Americans need not question the principles of their founding document. Nor need Americans doubt the practical strategic effect the growth of free societies has upon peace. More

Both parties in the fiscal cliff negotiations are planning to keep the budget deficits at well over $1 trillion per year. The U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio would continue to explode. More

As recently as five years ago, I counted Ann Coulter and Camille Paglia among my favorite authors. This past year has me rethinking that. More

Around the world, sometimes people vote for autocrats, and sometimes they have autocrats inflicted upon them. How did things work out for the people of the United States? More

President Obama's solution to the fiscal cliff has been tried in other countries since 2008. It has failed every time. More

Education is modernizing to the point where we can change the world -- and Republican-run states have exactly the means to get the ball rolling. More

If we want to be honest about it, we must look to the origins of the 2nd Amendment to understand it in the context of framing the U.S. Constitution, and only then can we consider it in our present context. More

This is a case of garbage in, garbage out. For all of the braggadoccio of the IMBIE scientists they actually do not have anything new and likely not accurate. This is more drive-by consensus science. More

Newt Gingrich's latest novel compares the bravery and boldness of George Washington to the politicians and campaign advisers of today. More

Any political party, whose leadership interests extends beyond aggregating power and accumulating personal wealth, would level with the people. More

It's a contest of wills and guess who is winning? President Obama, of course. And that's because the president is up against the GOP's equivalent of Churchill's "Boneless Wonder," Speaker John Boehner. More

The crisis of the moment is not a crisis of liquidity, but of solvency; specifically, the solvency of governmeny. Our 2008 liquidity crisis was dealt with quickly. Solvency issues cannot be dealt with by central banks. More

Islamist indoctrination continues apace in liberal Massachusetts -- but several groups of concerned parents are starting to do something about it. More

Now is not the time to be discouraged. We have a lot of work ahead, and we must be ready to do it! More

Lincoln would not only stand against the welfare state, but fight it. Why? Because his piercing gray eyes would instantly recognize it as another form of slavery, one more insidious than the variety he fought, but slavery nevertheless. More

The so-called "fiscal cliff" that has everyone so paralyzed with fear is really just a politically-constructed illusion designed to scare Americans into handing over more money and power to politicians. More

If global warmists are correct, then the global population will die out until a warming equilibrium is reached. If they are incorrect, then we have nothing about which to worry. Either way, nature wins in the end. More

It makes sense to examine the quality and veracity of the government's own witnesses that we might expect to be called to testify in the Deepwater Horizon case. More

Combat Petraeus-style doesn't presume to alter military doctrine; it presumes to alter the nature of war. War is a time-tested primal exercise, not a venue for intellectuals, polite politics, or poseurs. More

American con artists have gotten away with a lot in recent years -- probably because the system itself has been engineered to suit them. More

It's time to call Barack Obama out on his alleged concern for women -- especially those in the Middle East, who are now under physical as well as psychological assault. More

Common Sense elaborated on many subjects which became the principles upon which our nation was founded, including individual liberty as well as freedom from a tyrannical government. More

Why would Obama bother caring about his own constituents being devastated by his policies? All wars have casualties. More

Assuming the charges are valid and that we are a nation of laws, why shouldn't those with ultimate authority over the Benghazi incident face charges of proximate cause in the deaths of four men, all of whom were contractors or employees of the United States? More

Rather than replace subterfuge with real civic power, gays have made subterfuge a permanent weapon. They've taught everyone -- especially Obama's left -- how to wield it. More

A lesson in how much people tend to appreciate things they didn't pay for -- even when it costs $200,000. More

"The poor" haven't just fallen on hard times. None of them, due to factors and dynamics of lifestyle, attitude, or behavior, bear any responsibility for their poverty. Now, "the poor," are also the oppressed. They are victims. More

Our federal budget deficits are not only a symptom of a political class that refuses to say no -- they are also a reflection of our inverted demographic status. More

The task confronting us is how to assure that there will be more Republican presidents in the face of a Democratic president and Democratic Party who are hopeful of destroying us over the next couple of election cycles. More

Considering the unchangeable nature of liberals, there is only one way we're going to get out of this debt crisis. Only one. More

I had always believed that the Second Amendment is the most important amendment. It has actually been the First Amendment, guaranteeing freedom of speech and allowing the creation of reality TV shows, that has fostered a renewed appreciation of the Second Amendment More

Just as hyper-regulation within a nation subverts representative government, so international hyper-regulation will have the effect of nullifying any transnational voice of unified dissent. More

Thank goodness we have a crusader like Sandra Fluke -- because there is no more pressing threat to women worldwide than having to pay for contraception. More

Establishment Republicans can learn from Cuccinelli. He translates life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness into policies to govern in the 21st century. More

But not in the way liberals and other amnesty-peddlers would have you believe. More

Slump, slowdown, recession, or depression? Obama's hired-gun economists say none of the above. But the facts say otherwise. More

What drives the self-congratulating liberal is the societally destructive concept of pseudo-idealism. More

The public deserves so much better than the simplistic, slogan-laden debate forced upon it regarding the issue of same-sex marriage. More

The regime taking power in Egypt truly will usher in women (and non-Muslims, and "blasphemers," and...) "dying on the floor." Few seem keen to talk about it. More
