Nothing is more fatal to the destiny of a nation or society than to undertake hasty attempts at fundamental political, economic, social and cultural transformation by an inherently narcissist, demonstrably incompetent and intellectually deficient politician.
Barack Obama, a community organizer turned Democrat state and U.S. Senator, became the 44th President in January 2009, succeeding the Republican George W. Bush. Having campaigned on the vision of uniting and leading the nation toward a brighter future, he and his congressional allies undertook to essentially change society by destroying individual liberty and the constituent elements of the republic, including churches, schools and families. To attain this objective, they followed closely the playbooks of many radical egalitarians before them that, under the banner of perfect humanitarian equality, imposed catastrophic uniformity and homogeneity on their miserable subjects from Eurasia to Africa and Central and South America. |

Dear Administrator Jackson:
Our organization is dedicated to defending the basic principles of individual freedom and responsibility upon which the nation was founded. We take seriously any erosion of liberty; and we work to protect the endowment of rights owned by all Americans.
To that end, we are dismayed by the EPA's decision to prohibit Americans from exercising their rights in the private marketplace with respect to palm-derived biofuels. This encroachment upon the individual freedoms of citizens and private businesses is unjustifiable and should be withdrawn. |

H.R 3675 and S. 2008 – the Next Generation Television Marketplace Act of 2011 – are misguided legislation which calls for more government intervention – such as the right to continue carrying broadcasters’ signals without a negotiated agreement. This violates property rights and weakens the free market. To read George Landrith's letter explaining why this legislation creates more problems than it solves click "read more" below. |

In 2008 the Department of Defense was attacked in a relatively new and powerful way - through cyber terrorism. During this attack which originated from an infected flash drive inserted into a military laptop in the Middle East, the attackers were able to eventually take control of classified and unclassified systems throughout the DoD system worldwide. As with the physical attacks on US soil on September 11, 2001, this was a wakeup call to the new battlefield of cyber-warfare and its significance in the realm of national security and intelligence.
In his article, "The Pentagon's Cyberstrategy, One Year Later: Defending Against the Next Cyberattack" for the Foreign Affairs Journal on September 28, 2011, former Deputy Secretary of Defense William J. Lynn, III wrote;
" For almost all of human history, man has waged war on land and at sea. Air and space emerged as potential battlefields only in the past few generations. Now, the danger of cyberwarfare rivals that of traditional war.... |

The enduring instability in the Middle East, Africa, and South East Asia present regional as well as global challenges to the rest of the world. Countries in which Islam affects politics, the economies, demographics, and social and behavioral interactions, the functioning of individuals and families, and the future of younger generations, the ways governments, political parties, religious organizations and private associations relate to, precipitate and manage the evolving situations are of decisive importance.
For these reasons, the Frontiers of Freedom Institute is proud to announce the establishment of its Center for Middle East Studies. The Institute is also honored to welcome as its Vice President for Middle East Studies Mr. Wrya Saeed Rwandzi and as its Director of Research Mr. Issa Michael Matalka. Messrs. Rwandzi and Matalka have a long history of involvement in the politics of the Middle East and beyond.
Under their leadership, the Center will become a source of global education and excellence through partnerships with other institutions, community outreach, research and training. The Center will support research, exploring solutions to the challenges facing the various Islamic countries and efforts to promote community participation. The activities of the Center will create new strategies as well as provide research products to academia in the United States and abroad. |

Barack Obama delivered a campaign speech in Osawatomie, Kansas in which he argued against keeping taxes low to spur economic growth and job creation and against significantly cutting government spending to solve our huge deficits. Obama said “ [that philosophy] fits well on a bumper sticker.... But it doesn’t work. It’s never worked.” Obama is wrong. It clearly has worked. And it is comical to listen to the guy who ran on the slogan of “hope” and “change” talk dismissively about bumper stickers.
During the past decade, if government had kept taxes low, kept government spending at historically reasonable levels, and not abused government power to push unwise and unsustainable mortgage and banking practices, we would not have the problems we have today. |

Several months ago, following the lead of Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, Congress passed and President Barack Obama signed into law legislation that included a provision capping what banks can charge retailers for electronic interchange fees.
Being rational, the banks tried to offset the revenue loss created by the cap by shifting the burden on to their customers. The most transparent way many banks chose to do this was by assessing a minimum fee for all debit-card holders. |

There is a lot of talk about whether United States Supreme Court Associate Justices Clarence Thomas and Elena Kagan should recuse themselves from considering the constitutionality of President Barack Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly known as “ObamaCare”). Let’s take a look at the facts. |

Barack Obama has announced he will postpone for one year the decision on whether the U.S. will give approval to a Canadian-U.S. oil pipeline. This is quite odd for a man who claims we cannot wait on Congress to approve his jobs bill. The question is whether the federal government will allow the construction of the XL Keystone pipeline – 1,700 miles of pipeline to carry crude oil from Alberta, Canada to refineries in Texas. |
