Famed POW Sees Security Crisis
Retired Admiral Jeremiah Denton, who suffered for nearly eight years as a POW in Vietnam describes what real torture is like. He also says America’s name was sullied when Democrats cut and ran from South Vietnam – and we still haven’t recovered. He says we had the war won and liberals in Congress and in the media snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. The former U.S. Senator also says that President Obama – like LBJ – ‘doesn’t know diddly squat’ about war and peace
Democracy Denied on D.C. Marriage Vote
The Washington, DC, Board of Elections had denied a petition to allow the resident’s of the nation’s capital determine the definition of marriage. The effort comes as the DC City Council aggressively pursues the legalizing of so-called gay marriage. Why was a vote denied? Why are traditional marriage supporters not buying that explanation? What might be the real reasons a vote was denied? What is the next step in this fight? We ask Bishop Harry Jackson, Jr., head of the Stand4MarriageDC.com coalition.
Indian Groups Assisting Taliban Efforts to Destabilize Pakistan
As President Obama hosts Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at the White House, we learn that groups from within India are working to help the Taliban and other radical Muslim forces destabilize the government in Pakistan. How are they doing this? Is the Indian government involved? What can be done about this? We ask retired U.S. Army Col. Bob Maginnis.

‘An Atomic Bombshell’ in the Climate Debate
Last week, countless emails and other files from a major proponent of the climate change agenda divulge that critical data was intentionally distorted in recent years to build the case for major policy changes needed to fight the perceived threat to the earth. Dr. Tim Ball, former professor of climatology at the University of Winnepeg, explains why this is a seminal moment in this debate – or at least should be. He also explains why a new UN report on higher than expected levels of greenhouse gases actually proves the climate change alarmists are wrong.

Abortions Galore In Senate Health Bill
This week, Senate Democrats unveiled their 2,074 page health care bill. President Obama and Congressional Democrats have promised throughout this debate that taxpayer dollars would not fund abortions if this legislation passes. So why are pro-life experts calling this a total failure to keep that promise? What does the bill specifically call for on the abortion front? How could taxpayers easily end up paying for elective abortions? Are Democrats right when they say the Stupak amendment to the House bill is more restrictive than the long-standing Hyde amendment? What does the Hyde amendment say anyway? How are Democrats using a very deceptive semantics game to fund abortions through the public option?
We ask Mary Harned, staff counsel at Americans United for Life.
