To get a sense of what kind of law Sandra Fluke would impose on all of us, it helps to consider her time as a leader of Cornell’s Students Acting for Gender Equality (SAGE). Fluke was involved with SAGE throughout

David Axelrod asked Diane Silverman, a woman candidate for Alderman, if her husband “would control” her vote. “I doubt Mr. Axelrod asked male candidates… if their wives would control their votes,” she wrote in a 1974 letter to the editor.

By President Obama’s own standards, he just might be the nation’sbiggest child abuse facilitator since Franklin Delano Roosevelt. What does that mean? Let’s hop in the wayback machine – all the wayback to April 8, 1997, when young State Senator

Many people were taken in by Barack Obama’s hopey-changey 2008 campaign. They thought that this was the real Barack Obama — a man of optimism and vision. But the 2012 campaign has shown a side of Obama that the American

It’s the bombshell you’ve been waiting for: Mitt Romney’s 9th grade high school grades, delivered by the Boston Globe. Or not. Yes, while the mainstream media continues to insist that Romney’s youth as a prep school boy in Michigan is

As Barack Obama attacks “AK-47s,” while his press secretary promises that Obama respects Second Amendment rights, it is worth recalling Obama’s long-running campaign for gun control, dating back more than a decade–a campaign he now seeks to downplay as he heads

Give Barack Obama points for consistency: he has always blamed Bush for the economy, even when it was humming along. In April 2003, Obama, then a state senator, attacked George Bush’s “attack on working families.” He called on Bush to

While Barack Obama is keen to attack Mitt Romney for “outsourcing,” he ignores that his first job, at Business International Corporation (BIC), actually advised American firms on how best to outsource.  Not only did Obama work for BIC, he actively seems

I have followed the career of Mitt Romney since 1994. I have read every book about and by him, and I have studied every move he made in the land of my birth. This is why I am convinced Romney

To the media, Barack Obama was a “post racial” president who symbolized the best of racial progress. The Economist called his election a “post-racial triumph,” the New Yorker lauded the “post-racial” millennials who had elected him, and the late Daniel Schorr of NPR celebrated

One of the most fascinating things about Barack Obama’s first autobiography, Dreams From My Father, is not just the creation of fictitious girlfriends and black friends, such as “Regina” (who turns out to have been a partly-white “composite”), but the material Obama

Stanley Kurtz has helpfully revealed that Barack Obama was once a member of the New Party, a Social Democratic third party.  And while many on the right continue to insist that this election ought to focus exclusively on the economy

In late 2008–long after the election–the media revealed a long-forgotten article written by Barack Obama while at Columbia. Obama wrote the March 1983 article, “Breaking the War Mentality,” about two campus groups, Arms Race Alternatives (ARA) and Student Against Militarism

“I had a wonderful political science class,” Obama told YouTube’s Steve Grove on January 27, 2011. “It sparked my general interest in politics. And he still teaches there and was just a wonderful, wonderful professor.” That professor was Roger Boesche.

The photographs above and below have been making the rounds on Facebook, in the blogosphere, and through email, purporting to be snapshots of a young Barack Obama with Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers.  (Buzzfeed reproduced the photos in its article

President Barack Obama is hailed by his supporters and the mainstream media as one of the most brilliant men ever to hold the office. However, his refusal to release his academic records, his admitted deficiencies as a student, and his

In copying a recipe from a cookbook word for word, Elizabeth Warren appears to have violated both Harvard College and Harvard Law School’s strict codes on plagiarism.   Harvard’s Guide to Using Sources’ manual, for example, advises Harvard students that

David Axelrod privately calls Barack Obama “Black Jesus,” according to Edward Klein’s fantastic new book, The Amateur (p. 59). “[Barack Obama] is the living, breathing apotheosis of the American melting pot,” Klein quotes Axelrod as saying. Axelrod, as we know, isn’t

If Mitt Romney hates homosexuals as much the Washington Post contends, why has he gone out of his way to treat them humanely and with respect all throughout his professional career?   That is the central question that has been

Mitt Romney’s so-called “gay-bashing” incident at high school may have been no more than an officially-sanctioned attempt to enforce the school’s dress code, and not any kind of bullying, according to a former Cranbrook student who spoke exclusively to Breitbart

Elizabeth Warren may claim that her great-great-great grandmother was Cherokee, but according to the Cherokee Nation, she is likely ineligible for membership. In fact, even if she had more than 1/32 Cherokee ancestry, the would-be U.S. Senator from Massachusetts likely

Fresh from promising students that they can have as much sex as they want through his new contraception mandate, President Obama now promises them they can get as educated as they want, for free.  His website boasts that his administration

MSNBC’s and Time‘s Touré, who has been exposed as a 9/11 Truther, wrote yesterday that racism is so pervasive that people–like George Zimmerman–who believe they are not racist might still be racist, subconsciously, inside their minds. Is Touré guilty of the

Fidogate has just gone international. Already the Left is defending Obama for eating dog meat on the grounds that his stepfather–who was Indonesian–wanted to share his culture and customs with him. But there’s just one problem with this: it wasn’t his

When reporters asked about Bristol Palin in September 2008, candidate Barack Obama promised that candidates’ family lives were off limits and said that he would fire anybody in his campaign who violated that rule.   But three days later, Howard

And you thought race-baiting was bad… It now appears that Touré, an MSNBC contributor, is a 9-11 conspiracy crank. Writing after Van Jones, the former White House green jobs czar, was fired in 2009, Touré took to Twitter to defend

Once upon a time, Barack Obama wanted to be the second black mayor of Chicago, not the first black President of the United States. The community organizer-turned-local politician had big plans for the community he represented and hoped to organize

Father Michael Pfleger, a radical religious figure and a friend of President Barack Obama’s, may be out of the national headlines. But that doesn’t mean he’s stopped his “social justice” activism. “We cannot talk about Trayvon Martin without talking about

In 1999, then-State Senator Barack Obama invoked the late radical Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, who passed away in 1996, to promote a universal health care law he co-sponsored and which Illinois voters had overwhelmingly rejected.  The bill incorporated language directly from the

CNN’s Soledad O’Brien, who has been pushing the racial angle in the Trayvon Martin case, and who infamously failed to smother President Barack Obama’s association with radical Critical Race Theory professor Derrick Bell, has a long history of support for

The story of Cassandra Butts is an important example of how Critical Race Theory and its adherents continue to shape President Barack Obama’s worldview and his administration. At Harvard Law School from 1988-1991, Butts was one of the student advocates of
