I think most people can agree the ACLU has turned into a far left organization that goes against what most people think. The list of cases of their attacks on Christianity, their protection of islam, and their constant interference in stopping terrorism has finally hit it point. Bill O'Reilly is probably one of the only people in the media that will take on organizations like the ACLU. The ACLU's latest tactic against the war on terror is now sueing New York to stop random searches of pas...

Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind is not backing down from his controversial request that local law enforcement officials use ethnic profiling in their fight against terrorism.

In a statement released Sunday, Hikind said that "We have to give the NYPD every single tool in the war on terrorism.

Let's see if we can get this straight: When tax revenues fall and budget deficits go up, it's bad news. But when tax revenues rise and deficits decline, it's still bad news. At least that seems to be the way a sizable chunk of Washington is reacting to this week's report from the White House budget office that the federal deficit is down by nearly $100 billion this fiscal year, that the deficit as a share of GDP is down to 2.7% (very near its historical average), and that this is all hap...

When the BBC reports it. More of the sympathy for terrorists the leftists and their media love to use. When is a terrorist not a terrorist? When he is on the BBC, of course. Where - according to the corporation's editorial guidelines - "the word 'terrorist' itself can be a barrier rather than aid to understanding". Bomber, attacker, insurgent, militant - all are fine by the Beeb because they carry no "emotional or value judgments". And heaven forbid anyone get emotional about the dea...

Great article, especially for the "blame America" people. PORTSTEWART, Northern Ireland. -- Politicians and much of the media in Britain are engaged in a familiar Western practice after a terrorist attack.

That most unemployed blacks did not riot escaped the mainl...
