The media claim we don’t exist. OK, that’s a slight exaggeration. But after all, we’re Millennials, born during the Reagan administration. We’re supposed to be of the generation that is embracing same-sex marriage in droves. Instead, we’re standing strong on upholding the truth about what marriage is. We’ve been asked—repeatedly—whether the position we’re promoting is…

Among President Obama’s broken promises, there is this gem of June 15, 2009: “No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: if you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period.” That promise helped sway the American Medical Association to back the president’s Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. But the AMA endorsement…

In the 13 seconds between explosions at the Boston Marathon, dozens of the city's first responders were already on the move. Among them were Thomas Lee and David Carabin, veteran officers in the city's police force. Lee and Carabin had something in common beyond being two of "Boston's finest." Both hold graduate degrees from the Center for Homeland Defense and…

The shocking video of the arrest of an alleged CIA agent in Moscow this week on espionage charges certainly won’t rank as one of most heralded moments in the vaunted agency’s long history of derring-do. But spying — and counterspying — happens. We may never know the whole story of this latest spy-vs.-spy case, but there’s likely a lot more afoot than the nabbing of a…

Members of the House of Representatives are scheduled to vote Thursday to repeal all of Obamacare. Given that the House voted to repeal the law last year, some commentators and observers have questioned the need for another repeal vote. However, the scandals coming to light over the last week perfectly make the case for why Congress must eradicate the law from the…

Get ready for a little deja vu from Washington. The federal government is about to hit the debt ceiling, now set at a whopping $16.8 trillion. Yes, again. It’s like the Bill Murray movie “Groundhog Day” — only this time, unfortunately, no one is laughing. Time and again, Congress bumps up against the debt ceiling amid talk of finally getting spending under control. Time…

The Washington Post’s Ezra Klein recently lamented that America has “a deeply unbalanced political system.” He highlighted a chart showing that business owners and employees donate billions to politicians, while unions give only a few tens of millions. True enough, but this does not make labor “totally outgunned,” as he claims. Unions give little directly to politicians…

They pitched their tents in orderly, military fashion. All was quiet on the windswept plain, except for the sharp bark of guard dogs. But the sign tacked in front of the tents sent tremors through capitals around the world. It read, simply: "You are on Chinese Side." That changed last week. Chinese troops withdrew from their advanced positions on the India-China border,…

If the Senate has its way, online sales taxes are coming to a computer near you. The so-called Marketplace Fairness Act sailed through the Senate on Monday by a 69-27 margin. If approved in the House, the act won't just cost you money. It will also put the United States on the road to adopting a European-style national sales tax. When politicians say something's about…

The Washington Post reports on an — at best — highly misleading letter the Justice Department recently sent in response to an April 10 subpoena from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The committee, chaired by Representative Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), is investigating a quid pro quo deal engineered by Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez, President…

Finally, the moment of truth is at hand. After months of preparation and calculations, after checking and rechecking miles of wiring, thousands of screws and hundreds of computer algorithms, it’s launch time. In the command center, all eyes gaze at the giant monitor. The rocket’s red glare fills the screen and the boosters maneuver the kill vehicle toward its target: a…

Critics of a study the Heritage Foundation released yesterday looking at the costs of amnesty for illegal immigrants have done something strange — they’ve attacked us for not doing the study they wanted us to do. It is odd that so many politicians and outsiders feel that they should decide what an educational institution such as Heritage should and shouldn’t…

After 9/11, the words “immigration,” “border security” and “terrorism” were often linked in the same sentence. That was unfortunate. In America, terrorism is a “retail” problem. Terrorists are a small percentage of any group: visitors from overseas, immigrants, All-Americans, criminals—you name it. Border security and immigration are “wholesale” issues. They affect the…

A robust debate is under way about the future of conservatism, and there are plenty of lessons to be learned from the 2012 election and current trends in American politics. Unfortunately, the conversation so far has largely consisted of calls for modifying basic conservative positions, especially on social policy, and for targeting government spending and programs to…

Build a bomb. Stash it in a backpack. Go to a major sporting event. Drop the bag. Walk away. It was a simple plan, and it worked. Some people died. Many more were injured. Panic ensued. The president called it "an act of terror." And a wild manhunt was on. The year was 1996. The terrorist was Eric Robert Rudolph, a carpenter, handyman and extremist who had no training…
