Liberty and happiness have a powerful enemy on each hand; on the one hand tyranny, on the other licentiousness [anarchy]. To guard against the latter, it is necessary to give the proper powers to government; and to guard against the former, it is necessary that those powers should be properly distributed. — James Wilson, Founder and signer of the Declaration and Constitution

GOP Vice Presidential Candidate and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) spoke at the FRC Values Voter Summit this morning, welcomed by a very enthusiastic crowd.

Covering the Values Voter Summit

Bob Ellis

I flew to Washington D.C. today to cover the Family Research Council's Values Voter Summit. This year's event should be especially exciting for a number of reasons. It's an election year, GOP Vice Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan will be speaking, and tensions are elevated with the shooting of a FRC security guard by a homosexual activist less than a month ago. Should be interesting.

Tea Party Ted Cruz Victory Scares Dems…and Some Republicans

Bob Ellis

This is some good analysis from Glenn Beck here on the victory of Tea Party-supported U.S. Senate candidate Ted Cruz in Texas Tuesday. There's a lot of love for Rick Perry in Texas. But even though Perry endorsed Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, it wasn't enough to overcome the Tea Party power. What's more, Dewhurst spent four times what Ted Cruz--who has never run for office before--spent. This win by underdog Cruz has sent chills down the spines of many Democrats...and more than a few establishment Republicans. Despite media claims to the contrary, the Tea Party definitely is not dead.

Ed Voucher Program Moving Forward in Louisiana

Kevin Mooney

Louisiana parents and students who are ambitious to switch out of failing public schools have until June 30 to become part of history. That is the cut-off date for applications to be submitted to the state education department for scholarship funds that can be used to cover the full cost of private school tuition. In May, the state lawmakers approved what is arguably the most audacious and far reaching school voucher program in the entire country at the behest of Gov. Bobby Jindal.

Resisting the Tide of Secularism

Ken Connor

Forces antagonistic to religion dominate our courtrooms, our classrooms, and that most potent platform of public influence, the entertainment industry. Stridently ideological and convinced that the forces of reason and progress are on their side, these secular shapers of culture will not be satisfied until every last vestige of religious influence is exorcised from the public square. These individuals reject the fact that the Christian religion played an integral role in the shaping of America's political traditions and the spirit of liberty and equality that is unique among nations.

The Multi-Agency Attack on Conservatives

Robert Romano

As Sherlock Holmes and Mr. Spock were always fond of noting, when attempting to unravel a whodunit, a useful postulate is: “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” Point in case is the targeting by multiple government departments and agencies at the federal and state level, by elected officials, and by Democrat Party organizations of Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote, a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring honest elections and ballot integrity by targeting voter fraud.

Ryan-Rubio ‘Conservative’ Amnesty Ads Insult our Intelligence

Gina Miller

We have not forgotten the 2007 McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill that was killed in the face of intense outrage from the American people. This administration has engaged in criminal conduct by granting amnesty through presidential edict to certain illegal aliens. If we were outraged back in 2007 at the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill, we are now outraged to the hundredth power at the latest attempt by Congress to shove amnesty for illegal aliens down our throats.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964
