Obama calls on Boy Scouts to welcome homosexuals

By Todd Starnes President Obama called on the Boy Scouts to open their ranks to homosexuals. His response came during an interview ahead of Super Bowl XLVII.

On Monday a group of 42 religious groups will publish a half-page ad in USA Today calling on the Scouts to…

Nazi gun control laws: a familiar road to citizen disarmament?

Nazi gun control laws: a familiar road to citizen disarmament?

by Joe Wolverton, II In an article earlier this month, the online Huffington Post mocked the Drudge Report for posting pictures of Adolf Hitler (shown on right, with Benito Mussolini) and Josef Stalin above the headline: “White House Threatens ‘Executive Orders’ on Guns.” A Google search using the search term “Obama Hitler Gun Control” delivers nearly six million results.

While that sentiment won't be embraced in President Obama's inaugural address next week, all other things being equal, it seems likely to be the practical effect of his second term.

Specifically, they have or are developing the ability to engage in devastating electromagnetic…

Now, in the wake of the Newtown school massacre and the President’s January 16 promise to “put everything I’ve got” into a sweeping new series of gun control initiatives, the fate of that treaty, which enters a “final” round of negotiations this March, may loom as more important than…

By Sandy Fitzgerald and Martin Gould Residents of states that refuse to set up health insurance exchanges under Obamacare are set to be hit with higher premiums under new rules announced by the Health and Human Services Department.

More than 80,000 people have signed the petition since it was uploaded to the White House's website Friday by an Arlington man. “Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world,” the petition reads, “it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the Union.” The petition sparked intense reaction online and triggered a response from Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who hinted in 2009 that Texas could seek independence. On Tuesday, he backed…
