By Paul R. Hollrah, Guest Blogger Republican governors Scott Walker, Chris Christie, John Kasich, and Mitch Daniels are not the originators of the fear of the overreaching power of public employee unions. That credit goes to FDR and the president of the AFL-CIO, George Meany. In 1955, Meany said, “It is impossible to bargain collectively [...]

Retired Army General Identifies Signs of Insurgency
October 26th, 2010 · 2 Comments
Almost one year ago, I published a post featuring a clip of Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin painting an accurate picture of the circumstances surrounding the case of Maj.

I just saw Focus on the Family‘s Super Bowl ad featuring Tim Tebow and his mom, Pam. Only those who condone abortion and oppose freedom of speech should dislike it. Good job, Focus!

Double-Standard at Saint Louis University?
January 24th, 2010 · 7 Comments
Does a double-standard exist at Saint Louis University? Recent events at the Jesuit university might cause you to believe one does. This weekend, SLU’s Muslim Students’ Association hosted a three-day conference, “Saving Our Deen: Living a Muslim life in a not-so Muslim world,” at the school’s Busch Student Center. Part of the conference agenda — [...]

House Bill Threatens to ‘Cyber-Bully’ Blogger
May 6th, 2009 · 7 Comments
Though it took place in the suburban St. Louis hamlet of Dardenne Prairie not far from where I live, I never imagined the devastating impact 13-year-old Megan Meier’s death Oct. 17, 2006, might have on my career as a blogger. In short, I feel like it might “cyber-bully” me out of existence. If, God forbid, [...]

Freedoms of Speech, Religion at Stake as Hate-Crimes Bill Passes House Committee
April 24th, 2009 · 7 Comments
In a post almost two years ago, I wrote about H.R. 1592, a piece of freedom-threatening hate-crimes legislation that was quietly making its way through Congress. Fortunately, after it passed the House, the Senate version of the bill (S. 1105) failed. Unfortunately, however, the legislation is back as H.R. 1913, the “Local Law Enforcement Hate [...]

Freedom of the Press to Suffer Under Obama (Updated)
November 11th, 2008 · No Comments
Freedom of the press is likely to suffer under the administration of Barack Obama. How do I know this? A look back at issues and events that arose during the 2008 presidential campaign reveals as much. Two weeks prior to the Nov. 4 election, Obama running mate Joe Biden faced tough questions from interviewers at [...]
