ROBERT KNIGHT: Left’s war on police leaves communities defenseless
Since the riots over robbery suspect Michael Brown's death last summer in Ferguson, Mo., and several other deaths of black suspects, America has been awash in a "dialogue" about police and race. Published May 31, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: Supreme Court gay marriage vote
As the calendar slips toward the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, there's a storm cloud hanging over America that will release its thunder in late June. Published May 24, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: Playing the race card in court
There's more racism afoot in the land, and it fits the soft bigotry of lowered expectations. Published May 17, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: The ACLU’s Louisiana pursuit
At odds with anything smacking of America's religious and cultural heritage, the American Civil Liberties Union has issued a revealing series of warnings to officials about everything from the national motto to saggy pants and boys in prom dresses. Published May 14, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: Tom Brady’s Deflategate tests NFL message on honesty, character
Unlike the 2014 Little League World Series champs, who lost their trophy because they fielded ineligible players, the New England Patriots are not going to lose their Super Bowl rings over Deflategate. Published May 10, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: Forcing gay marriage on American’s would be tyranny
While the U.S. Supreme Court held an Alice-in-Wonderland session on the nature and value of marriage, one of the nation's largest cities lay partly in ruins over the death of a black man in police custody. Published May 3, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: Restricting U.S. voting to American citizens
Sometimes, what appears to be complex is actually rather simple. Published April 26, 2015

ROBERT KNIGHT: ACLU attacking pro-life Catholics
In its latest attack on religious liberty, the American Civil Liberties Union, wants to force Roman Catholic organizations to provide contraception and abortions to unaccompanied immigrant children pouring over America's southern border. Published April 12, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: Indiana pizza parlor victim of gay lobby’s intolerance of Christians
It took a day or two, but the intolerant left managed to turn a tiny, Christian, family-owned pizza parlor in Indiana into a useful "face of hate." Nice piece of work, during Holy Week. It's part of the left's media campaign to terrify anyone even thinking of opposing compulsory celebration of same-sex "marriage," and it comes amid a fevered debate over Indiana's joining 18 other states and the federal government last week with a Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Published April 5, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: Snowy winter hard on climate change theory
As much of New England continues to dig out from late winter's massive snowstorms, the climate change lobby is doubling down. Published March 29, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: Obama’s mandatory voting plan
It's not enough to propose liberal ideas. Eventually, you must use force against your fellow citizens if they don't embrace them. Coercion is at the heart of the liberal enterprise. Published March 22, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: Iran letter worth Obama embarrassment if it halts bad nuclear deal
As our republic reels under the Obama administration's lawlessness, it's heartening to see the Republican-led Congress show some backbone — at least in foreign policy. OK, with the glaring exception of illegal immigration. Published March 15, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: Museum of the Bible would remind visitors of God’s grace
In a time when the most basic truths and institutions are under relentless attack, it should hearten many to know that a gargantuan cultural counterstrike is taking shape in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol dome. Published March 8, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: Senate passage of Homeland bill sign of Republican weakness
No wonder Mitch McConnell skipped this past week's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). He's too busy with his day job as Minority Leader of the United States Senate. Published March 1, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: Obama blames economics for terrorism, gives Islamist killers a pass
We can put to rest the notion that State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf committed a gaffe when she said that more jobs would keep Islamic militants from their genocidal mission. Published February 22, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: Obama’s lies on same-sex marriage
It's been a good couple of weeks for the truth. It always is when lies are found out. Published February 15, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: Endless debt ceiling hikes must stop
In 1973, National Lampoon put a dog on its cover with a gun to the animal's head. The tongue-in-cheek headline was: "If you don't buy this magazine, we'll kill this dog." Published February 8, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: Same-sex marriage encounters Constitution in Alabama
Many of us have wondered how long it would be before a prominent official proclaimed that rogue federal judges, like the proverbial emperor, have no clothes and thus no authority to make up laws. Published February 1, 2015
ROBERT KNIGHT: Obama’s Free Stuff Army
Fresh from offering "free" health care, "free" phones and "free" food to the masses, he's upped the bribery to "free" community college tuition and "free" child care. It's not that the Clintons oppose any of these; they just need to affect moderation in case Hillary runs for president and has to knock back boilermakers again with the good old boys in Pennsylvania taverns.
