RENEW AMERICA 05/08/2015




May 8, 2015
PATRICK GARRY, RA ANALYST — Conservatism stands for something much larger than public policy prescriptions, government structure, and individual rights. It stands for a uniquely American type of civil society -- a society that has created a uniquely prosperous American economy and a uniquely democratic American politics... (more)


May 7, 2015
CNN — A federal appeals court ruled on Thursday that the telephone metadata collection program, under which the National Security Agency gathers up millions of phone records on an ongoing daily basis, is illegal under the Patriot Act... (more)


May 7, 2015
CLIFF KINCAID — It's strange that the liberals in the media who always complain about Joe McCarthy once having a list of communists in government are so quick to cite the Southern Poverty Law Center's list of so-called right-wing extremists or "haters."... (more)


May 7, 2015
THOMAS SOWELL — Among the many painful ironies in the current racial turmoil is that communities scattered across the country were disrupted by riots and looting because of the demonstrable lie that Michael Brown was shot in the back by a white policeman in Missouri -- but there was not nearly as much turmoil created by the demonstrable fact that a fleeing black man was shot dead by a white policeman in South Carolina... (more)


May 7, 2015
MICHAEL REAGAN — Liberals have been the biggest losers in the Baltimore blame game. For a week they've been saying a lot of stupid things about the cause of the riots in Baltimore. First, they said the wild night of rioting, looting, and burning by young black men was caused by Freddie Gray's death, which was supposedly yet another example of our country's racist policing methods even though 3 of the 6 cops indicted were black...

May 7, 2015
WASHINGTON EXAMINER — Former Navy SEAL Rob O'Neill, the man who shot Osama bin Laden, says the Islamic State "is telling the truth" about having 71 trained soldiers in 15 different states because "they are a populist" group... (more)


May 7, 2015
BENJI HART — As a nation, we fail to comprehend Black political strategy in much the same way we fail to recognize the value of Black life. We see ghettos and crime and absent parents where we should see communities actively struggling against mental health crises and premeditated economic exploitation... (more)


May 7, 2015
WORLDNETDAILY — The women credited -- or blamed -- by many in America for halting the Equal Rights Amendment in its tracks is now warning that this is another "do-or-die" moment for the nation, and the fact that two top 2016 presidential candidates appear to be in virtual lockstep doesn't make it look good... (more)


May 7, 2015
ANN COULTER — Astronomically low crime rates may be one of the greatest public policy triumphs in history. All this time, liberals have been lying in wait, dying to undo all the accomplishments of the last 20 years. A quarter century of peace has lulled ordinary people into taking their safety for granted. They naturally assume that everyone regards it as a good thing that people are able to go about their lives without being raped, beaten, slashed or murdered... (more)


May 7, 2015
NEWSMAX — Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has a warning when it comes to Islamic State (ISIS) claims that there are fighters ready to stage attacks in the United States: "Take them seriously." "Don't discount it," Giuliani told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program Wednesday, when discussing ISIS claims of having several fighters ready to strike... (more)


May 7, 2015
WASHINGTON TIMES — NextGen Climate, a lobbying organization selling the theory of global warming, recently sent an email out to the masses trumpeting how they had offered to meet with 2016 GOP presidential candidate and U.S. Senator Marco Rubio... (more)


May 6, 2015
TOM FITTON — The Obama Internal Revenue Service scandal is about more than the targeting and suppressing of President Obama's perceived political opponents; it is about using the power of the tax collector to subvert the First Amendment, including the fundamental protection of the God-given right to exercise one's religious convictions... (more)


May 6, 2015
WASHINGTON TIMES — Nine tea party groups were still awaiting IRS approval for nonprofit status nearly two years after the political targeting program was exposed, the inspector general said in a report Thursday that, despite hiccups, claimed the tax agency has generally done a good job of cleaning up its act... (more)


May 6, 2015
WASHINGTON TIMES — Baltimore and other urban jurisdictions that have low levels of "intact" families are at high risk for social unrest, as evidenced in the recent violence, says a new report... (more)


May 6, 2015
ANDREW NAPOLITANO — If you plan to visit a college campus this month, don't be surprised if you see signs and placards encouraging you to "Restore the Fourth." Restore the Fourth is not about an athletic event or a holiday; it is about human freedom. The reference to "the Fourth" is to the Fourth Amendment, and it is badly in need of restoration... (more)


May 6, 2015
DICK MORRIS — Imagine if Republicans could force Obama to rescind his executive amnesty for illegal immigrants. Or repeal the mandate to buy health insurance that lies at the core of Obamacare. Or revoke the EPA regulations that are increasingly embracing all aspects of American life in the name of stopping climate change... (more)


May 5, 2015
WORLDNETDAILY — The federal officer who fired what may have been the shot that killed unarmed, suburban mother Miriam Carey in the nation's capital claimed he pulled the trigger because he feared for his life -- even though she was driving away from him when he shot at her from the back... (more)


May 5, 2015
THE INTERCEPT — Most people realize that emails and other digital communications they once considered private can now become part of their permanent record. But even as they increasingly use apps that understand what they say, most people don't realize that the words they speak are not so private anymore, either... (more)


May 5, 2015
TOM TANCREDO — Until lately, it has not been controversial to talk about ending "birthright tourism," which describes a thriving underground industry whereby more than 30,000 pregnant women come to the U.S. on tourist visas and give birth on U.S. soil. Presto, 30,000 new U.S. citizens!... (more)


May 4, 2015
WES VERNON, RA ANALYST — It doesn't seem to matter anymore. No matter which way you turn, no matter which exit for which you try to make a mad dash (figuratively speaking), you barely miss getting beyond the giant gate that slams shut in your face... (more)


May 4, 2015
WORLDNETDAILY — Ben Carson, the WND columnist and retired neurosurgeon, told a Florida TV station that he will officially join the 2016 Republican presidential race on Monday. Carson shared his decision with WPEC-TV, the CBS affiliate in West Palm Beach, Fla., in an exclusive interview on Sunday... (more)


May 4, 2015
WORLDNETDAILY — Dr. James Dobson, who founded the highly influential groups Focus on the Family and Family Research Council and now runs Family Talk Radio, is warning that if the U.S. Supreme Court redefines marriage as analysts predict, the ruling will presage the "fall of Western civilization."... (more)


May 4, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT — While the U.S. Supreme Court held an Alice-in-Wonderland session on the nature and value of marriage, one of the nation's largest cities lay partly in ruins over the death of a black man in police custody. What do the two events have in common? In each instance, the concept of "civil rights" has been redefined to the breaking point... (more)


May 4, 2015
PATRICK J. BUCHANAN — Had Freddie Gray been robbed, beaten and left to die in the streets of his Baltimore neighborhood, no one would be mourning him today. No one would be marching for Freddie. No one would be using Freddie as the new poster child of "Black Lives Matter!"... (more)


May 4, 2015
NEW YORK POST — The Clintons have been playing the political press for idiots. Revealing what they've been up to took a little bit of work. It wasn't obvious. While Bill Clinton was giving a speech about fighting AIDS in Africa, or about educating girls in Asia, reporters simply regurgitated the press release. They didn't ask: Who's that shady guy standing next to Bill?... (more)
