Alan Keyes column On the establishment of religion: What the Constitution really says
Alan Keyes When he ordered the removal of the Ten Commandments monument from the Supreme Court building in Alabama, federal judge Myron Thompson stated that the issue at stake involved the question of whether . . . [Click for more]
"Alan Keyes is Making Sense" ended a year ago Award-winning show left void still felt in cable programming
June 27, 2003 RenewAmerica staff report Today marks the anniversary of Alan Keyes' final appearance on MSNBC's acclaimed "Alan Keyes is Making Sense." Viewers on the night of June 27, 2002, did not realize . . . [Click for more]
Sharon Hughes column Crooked and straight cops
Sharon Hughes A Policeman's job can be a thankless job, and police discouragement is not limited to any one city. As James D. Steffens, a police lieutenant in Clearwater, Fla., points out, "I've attended the autopsies of a newborn, a 1-month-old infant and a 7-month-old baby all during a two-week period while going home each night to my own expectant wife . . . [Click for more] Doug Hagin column Kerry
Doug Hagin What a difference a dozen years can make to a political party. Just think, 12 short years ago the Democratic Party nominated a draft-dodger named Bill Clinton to run for the presidency of the United States of America. Now they seem prepared to name a decorated Vietnam veteran, John Kerry, to run for that same office later this year . . . [Click for more] Robert Meyer column Properly understanding separation of Church and State
Robert Meyer I was inspired to write this piece, based on a letter to the editor sent to my local home town newspaper, and forwarded to me by a local vitriolic atheist. He claimed that the concept of separation of Church and State is not a historical myth, but it is clear from his response that he doesn't comprehend what is connoted by applying the term "myth" to this issue . . . [Click for more] Jon Alvarez column Kerry, character, and Vietnam
Jon Alvarez So now that it's almost certain Senator John Kerry will be the Democrats' candidate of choice, how low will they go to regain the office of the presidency? Despite the claims of John Kerry that theirs is a positive message, that only the Democrats can unite this divided country and restore hope for a better tomorrow, we've already been given a preview of things to come . . .

Barbara Stock It's the Chinese year of the Monkey and I guess that means something if you are Chinese. I'm not Chinese so I suggest that 2004 be the year of the Skunk. When you look at a skunk, it appears cute, even pretty with its black and white fur and that cute little nose and button eyes. Of course, if you threaten one, you are rudely introduced to the business end of this fluffy, adorable little creature and it's an encounter you will never forget . . .

Fred Hutchison Baron Montesquieu (Mahn- tes'-kyoo) De Secondat (French political philosopher, 1689 - 1755) wrote The Spirit of the Laws (l'Espirit des Lois, 1750) which is esteemed by some as the most important work of political philosophy of the 18th century. He wrote that a Republic ought to have three branches, the legislative, executive, and judicial with the separation of the three powers . . .

Hans Zeiger Across America, Girl Scout cookie sales are in full swing. Last week, Girl Scouts of America officials announced a sales record for Washington, D.C., as 4.2 million boxes of Samoas, Thin Mints, and other cookies were sold in the nation's capitol. But I'm going to be critical of the Girl Scouts. I love the cookies, but the organization has somewhat rejected moral decency . . . [Click for more] Peter Lemiska column A call for justice
Peter Lemiska Courthouses throughout the world are adorned with bronze figures of a woman holding the sword of justice in one hand and a balance scale in the other. Modeled after the Greek goddess of law, we have come to know her as Lady Justice. The objects in her hand symbolize an idealistic criminal judicial system just punishment applied in a fair and balanced manner . . .

Jan Ireland The Drudge Report is reporting that John F. Kerry, democrat presidential candidate flavor of the moment, allegedly had a recent affair with a young intern. Yawn. We know that democrats don't mind dalliance, not from the JFK for the twentieth century, or Slick Willie in the room off the Oval Office, and probably won't if Wesley Clark's off-the-record statement to twelve journalists turns out to be true from the JFK for the new century . . . [Click for more] Sam Weaver column Take a stand for liberty before it is too late
Sam Weaver Let's see now. If I understand this correctly, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has ordered the state legislature to make homosexual marriage the law of the state of Massachusetts. Because of the "Full Faith and Credit" clause of Article IV, Section 1 of the U. S. Constitution notwithstanding the Freedom of Marriage Acts passed in 38 states to date "gay" marriage has now all but become an "officially sanctioned institution" in the United States of America . . .

Isaiah Z. Sterrett THE NEW YORK TIMES was utterly shocked last week to discover that First Lady Laura Bush isn't a blithering idiot. According to the Times, the once "decorous" wife of the commander-in-chief is now a fiendish, money-grubbing, policy-shaping, Republican operative. "The fact is," the Times explained, "Mrs. Bush is moving into a new role as a prominent surrogate for her husband in his re-election campaign" . . .

Mary Mostert In February we celebrate the birthdays of two of America's great war presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. I find that many, if not most, Americans are unaware of the grief caused both Washington and Lincoln by anti-war activists and political opponents in both the Revolution and the Civil War. Lack of support for war in America is not exactly a new thing . . . [Click for more] Edward Daley column A dozen reasons why I'm a conservative
Edward Daley Let me begin this article by stating that I am not a Republican. I am, however, a conservative. I embrace conservatism because that particular philosophy is distinguished, in part, by the following precepts . . .

" John Hancock, et al IT'S A "MYSTERY" TO HER, says Senator Clinton, what was so good about the olden days (I paraphrase). Of all people, she ought to have a clue about that, but habitual revisionism seems to hide the obvious from modern eyes. They just can't handle a paradox well . . . [Click for more] Andy Obermann column Our faltering values
Andy Obermann By now, I'm sure you've all heard about the Janet Jackson Super Bowl debacle. Many have found the sight of Jackson's exposed, middle-aged breast to be vulgar and offensive, but among my peers, it seems the incident wasn't that big of a deal. "Who cares...it was just a boob," is the common response. Surprisingly enough, I felt the same way, but for different reasons . . .

Jonathan David Morris According to Matt Drudge, FCC Chairman Michael Powell "considered holding a dramatic license revocation hearing against CBS" following Janet Jackson's sexual escapades with Justin Timberlake during the Super Bowl halftime show. I like how the Panthers and Patriots gave us one of the best championship games in years, and here we are, weeks later, talking about what happened in between halves . . .

Dennis Campbell It seems that nothing short of the war in Iraq has stirred as much outrage and controversy as Mel Gibson's film "The Passion of the Christ." Perhaps we all could lower our voices for a few minutes and address the charges that it will stir up anti-Semitism and that it "blames the Jews" for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ . . .

This week's RenewAmerica Forum What is education?
A man came to Socrates and asked him for wisdom. Socrates took the man to the seashore and held his head under water until the man nearly drowned. After fighting for his life, the wisdom-seeker demanded to know why Socrates had done this shocking thing. Socrates said, "When you want LEARNING as much as you just wanted AIR, you won't need ME to TEACH you" . . .
