Jan Ireland column Relativism, religion, and the First Amendment
Jan Ireland To launch the greatest experiment in freedom the world has ever known, America's Founding Fathers must have possessed freedom in their very DNA. But nature apparently passes along those freedom genes sparingly, since nothing like America has occurred before or since. It is not unexpected that freedom-hating forces, so rampant in the world, would do their best to chip away at America . . .

Peter Lemiska column Linda Tripp is NOT like us
Peter Lemiska Well, Linda Tripp is in the news again. Her recent interview by Larry King resurrected a lot of memories about a sordid affair that most of us would rather forget. But it was clear from the calls that came in to the show, that many are still resentful of her. Now I hate to beat a dead horse, but since King raised the issue, and since so many of his viewers still feel intensely passionate about it, I thought I'd jump in . . . [Click for more] Doug Hagin column Questions for liberals
Doug Hagin Questions, questions, and still more questions. Where those on the left of the political spectrum are concerned there are plenty pf puzzling questions begging to be asked. There is much hypocrisy from Liberals on just about every controversial issue. Abortion, taxes, racism, sexism, fairness, compassion, the environment, you name it and Liberals hold a questionable view on it . . .

Guest column World War II vs. War on Terror
Joshua Bunton Sixty two years have passed since the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Each year, Americans honor those who served and perished. During World War II, America had a great resolve and stood together in the face of danger. Today, America is faced with a new danger, called "Terrorism." On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked America, by bombing "Pearl Harbor" . . . [Click for more] Curtis Harris column Congressional leadership
Curtis Harris Military success in the War on Terror renders the old oxymoron, "military intelligence," obsolete. However, in the interest of one-liners and sarcasm, we need a new oxymoron appropriate to our times. It is "congressional leadership." The latest evidence for the new oxymoron is in two pieces from the Wall Street Journal's editorial pages . . .

Mary Mostert The angry debate over the Republican Medicare Reform bill, which the President will sign into law on Monday has been interesting to me, as a senior who will be naturally affected by it, but almost all the discussion on it, pro and con, has I think totally missed the most important part of the story, which is: We are all responsible for our own Health Care and need to make daily decisions on how we keep our health . . . [Click for more] Dennis Campbell column A conversation with Thomas Jefferson
Dennis Campbell In light of the remarkable events and changes that have overtaken America, it seemed appropriate to solicit the views of one of America's greatest men and the author of our Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson. He was kind enough to grant a few moments of time . . . [Click for more] Sean Turner column Marriage and the state: Part II
Sean Turner In part one, I concluded with the opinion that the state (read the government at every level) should abstain from involvement in private agreements — including marriage. Predictably, this struck a nerve with many conservative readers of the article, since the idea of "gay marriages" is inimical to many conservatives' deeply held beliefs regarding marriages and lifestyle choices . . . [Click for more] Barbara Stock column The United States of Florida
Barbara Stock I listened to the democrats rant and rave in Florida at their convention about how they want "revenge" for the stolen 2000 Presidential election. Bush is an illegitimate President because they know Gore really won Florida. This is something they can't let die. They must have it continue into the next election. It may be their only hope to continue to perpetuate a lie that, if repeated often enough, the truly stupid will not give a serious thought . . . [Click for more] Judson Cox column Don't save the whales
Judson Cox There has always been inequality among cultures; one culture discovers a new skill that allows it to dominate its neighbors militarily and achieve greater productivity, the other is conquered. Over time, inferior cultures adopt the ways of superior cultures and the superior cultures incorporate the redeeming qualities of others. This merging of cultures results in ever advancing societies greater than the sum of their parts. The history of human advancement has been a bloody affair . . .

Hans Zeiger A student at Indiana University School of Law in Indianapolis emailed me to say that a 12-foot decorated Christmas tree disappeared from her school atrium on December 2. Students received an email from the Dean for External Affairs, explaining: "The tree came down because there were members of the law school community who thought it was divisive and inappropriate . . .

J. Max Wilson What is it about the traditional family that irks liberals so much? Why do they work so incessantly to redefine it, restructure it, and usurp its functions with government run programs? To answer these questions we need to delve into the relationships between the family and society . . . [Click for more] Edward Daley column Don't turn on the "Central Air"
Edward Daley Well, here we go again. The liberal elites have decided once more to try their sweaty hands at talk radio political punditry with the attempted creation of a totally left-leaning talk radio network... as if National Public Radio (NPR) wasn't enough for them. They have, in distinctive leftist fashion, however, decided not to divulge their true agenda from the get-go . . .

Curtis Dahlgren We live in the age of "safe sin" in which anything and everything is tolerated except "intolerance" and anger. I once had the pleasure of attending an "anger management" class. The instructor was an openly proud graduate of the University of Chicago (where a men's room used to be a men's rooom and the women were glad of it, but now they're not so sure anymore). You know — "shades of gray"! . . . [Click for more] Jonathan David Morris column Medicare makes me sick
Jonathan David Morris Nine out of every ten times I go to the doctor, I end up spending two hours in the waiting room flipping through the pages of a six-month-old Sports Illustrated. I used to think this was the most boring thing in the world. Turns out I was wrong. The most boring thing in the world is Medicare — something I noticed in recent weeks watching lawmakers debate its reform . . .

Jerry Bowyer Yesterday the Dollar fell to its lowest level against the Euro ever when it took over $1.20 to buy one Euro. When the Euro was created several years ago, it's initial value was set at a $1.19. Immediately, the Euro began to fall against the dollar, but in the past year or so, has regained all of it's former value against the dollar, and then some . . .

Stephen Erwin In Goodridge v. Department of Public Health, The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts declared that it was a violation of the state constitution to ban gay marriage. The court has given the Massachusetts legislature 180 days to find a solution to the problem. If that solution is the legalization of gay marriage it could create an incredible mess at the federal and state level nationwide . . . [Click for more] David N. Bass column Democrats play the religion card
David N. Bass Howard Dean is no longer the only Democrat presidential candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks, according to a recent article by CNN.com.

[Join us at the Forum] Welcome to RenewAmerica.us, and to the community we are building here of Americans determined to make our nation worthy again of the gifts we have received from Providence, and from our Founders. Everything I have done in my public life has rested on the truth that, in America, it is the people who make good things happen, because it is the people who have the Founding principles of America most deeply in their hearts. RenewAmerica.us is dedicated to the vision of a nation renewed by the labor of its common citizens, working together with intelligence and determination. Working together, we can restore our people's confidence in their ability to govern themselves wisely and well. We can remind the American people that our Founders made no mistake when they wrote that God created us all equal in dignity. Working together, we can begin to remember what it is like for a free people to live together as fellow citizens, as friends, as a free people, under God. The resources available on this carefully and wisely constructed website are intended as a catalyst for the real engine of reform in America: the principled energy you bring to the job, and are willing to share with others.
