JOSEPH FARAH — "He's clearly a citizen of the United States." "We've seen his birth certificate." "Without question, Barack Obama was born in the U.S." "Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, and that settles it." "It's nuttiness and counterproductive to question the president's eligibility for office"... (more)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — It sounds a bit like Big Brother: Police can place a GPS device on your car to follow all of your movements, for any length of time. The Supreme Court on Tuesday is scheduled to hear arguments about whether investigators need to get a warrant before doing so... (more)

ROBERT KNIGHT — "In God We Trust" is the national motto, even though Barack Obama told a Jakarta, Indonesia, audience last November that our national motto is "E Pluribus Unum" ( "Out of many, one"). At least President Obama got the translation right. Al Gore once said that it meant "Out of one, many." Perhaps he was employing the same math formulas that work so well in his global-warming calculations... (more)

KATHRYN JEAN LOPEZ — As November broke, I received an e-mail from Planned Parenthood. There were three words in the subject line: "Every. Single. Day."

NEWSMAX — Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a Republican candidate for president, told The Hill Thursday that he opposes the Republican resolution that would reaffirm "In God We Trust" as the country's motto.

NEWSMAX — If a dozen swing states really do hold the keys to the White House, a new USA Today and Gallup poll finds that voters in those states may be a tough sell on a second term for President Barack Obama... (more)

RICH LOWRY — Even before some of them girded themselves for combat with police, donning masks and wielding black shields emblazoned with skeletons, the "Occupy" protesters in Oakland, Calif., engaged in a willfully destructive act. They shut down the fifth-busiest container port in America. Why would anyone acting in the name of people harmed by the Great Recession interrupt the flow of commerce, especially at a hub employing dockworkers and truckers?... (more)


November 4, 2011

WAYNE LAPIERRE — The fight for 2012 is a fight for our country, our values and our freedom, and if the National Rifle Association (NRA) has anything to say about it, Barack Obama won't get a second term. Mark these words - the NRA and America's gun owners will have plenty to say about it. President Obama doesn't want to hear that... (more)


November 3, 2011
NEWSMAX — Nine years ago when Mitt Romney was running for governor of Massachusetts he told abortion rights activists that not only would he protect state abortion laws but should he win he could use the position as a platform to soften Republican opposition to abortion.
