Barry’s Issues
- Defense Report Gets Failing Grade February 9, 2012America’s military is witnessing yet another attempt to recast the negative impact of massive defense cuts, this time in a report by the Council on Foreign Relations that attempts to illustrate the effect that slashed spending will have on U.S. forces and security. Unfortunately, the report uses some of the same ill-founded assumptions that the Obama Adminis […]Brian Slattery
- Online Chat on Obamacare and Religious Freedom February 9, 2012The Department of Health and Human Services has announced it will not broaden the religious exemption in an Obamacare regulation that requires many religious employers to provide health insurance coverage for all FDA-approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and certain education and counseling. This mandate is an attack on the religious free […]Todd Thurman
- George Will Makes a Point on Defense February 9, 2012In a recent comment George Will threw down the gauntlet to conservatives to explain how the White House hasn’t stolen their traditional claim championing a strong national defense. His challenge was no more stark than in rehashing the president’s line on counterterrorism. Will wrote, “Osama bin Laden and many other “high-value targets” are dead, the drone wa […]James Carafano
- Egging on the Regulators: Farmers Face Threat of Red Tape February 9, 2012Pork producers are speaking out against legislation that would give federal regulators the authority to mandate cage sizes for egg-laying hens. They’re worried it could lead to a slippery slope that increases red tape for farmers on a range of issues. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-OR), would impose costs between $4 billion and $10 billion on f […]Alison Meyer
- Iranian Bloggers on the Frontline Against Oppression February 9, 2012Blogging in Iran is a high-risk activity, and it is getting ever more so by the day. As the Iranian regime feels the pressure from abroad growing and threatens to flex its muscles by closing the Strait if Hormuz, internal repression in Iran has intensified, and the Internet is a top-priority target. Writes Nir Boms, co-founder of CyberDissidents.org: Apparen […]Helle Dale
- Beware the “Public Corruption” Amendment to the STOCK Act February 9, 2012Perhaps not so surprisingly, Washington politicians on both sides of the aisle are opposed to the recent change by Representative Eric Cantor (R–VA) and the House of Representatives in eliminating the so-called public corruption amendment that was proposed by Senators Patrick Leahy (D–VT) and John Cornyn (R–TX) and attached to the Senate-passed STOCK Act. Th […]Joe Luppino-Esposito
- Greek Drama Will Continue February 9, 2012The deal reportedly reached Thursday to release another 130 billion euro bailout for Greece is just one more temporary fix. Greece will get enough new cash to avoid the messy default it faced a few weeks hence, and the pain of adjustment will be shared by private bondholders, who are expected to write off about half the value of their Greek bonds; the Europe […]Terry Miller
- Obama Gets Hit with Another Religious Freedom Lawsuit February 9, 2012The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty has already filed two lawsuits challenging the Obamacare regulation that requires many religious employers to provide health insurance coverage for sterilization, contraception, and what many people believe are abortion-inducing drugs. Those lawsuits are on behalf of Belmont Abbey College (a Benedictine Catholic college […]Thomas Messner
- Family Fact of the Week: Closing the Marriage Gap Between Rich and Poor February 9, 2012While economic disparities between rich and poor are vehemently decried in stump speeches and the main stream media, value differences are often considered as a third-rail issue to be avoided in public discussion. In typical fashion, Charles Murray broaches this subject head-on in his newly released book Coming Apart, which documents a cultural drift and wid […]Collette Caprara
- No Child Left Behind Waivers Surrender Education Control to Washington February 9, 2012The Obama Administration will announce later today that it is awarding No Child Left Behind (NCLB) waivers to 10 states: Colorado, Georgia, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. New Mexico is the only state that applied for a waiver and will not receive one, although the state is amending its application i […]Lindsey Burke
