ROBERT KNIGHT: Political correctness censors America

The massacre in Paris by Muslim militants at the Charlie Hebdo magazine office was about much more than freedom of speech. After all, militants also killed four hostages at a Jewish market, and that was not about freedom to buy kosher food. Published January 18, 2015

ROBERT KNIGHT: ACLU stops Christian charity feeding orphan children in Africa

When a local charity teamed up with a middle school in San Marcos, California, to raise money to feed orphans in Africa, they didn't expect to take any heat. But the ACLU caught wind of the project and blew it to kingdom come. In a threatening letter Nov. 20, the ACLU warned the school to stop aiding the group or face legal trouble. It's all because the charity is infected secondhand with the virus known as Christianity. Published December 14, 2014

KNIGHT: Ebola response ignores history’s lessons

The last time we treated a deadly disease as a political problem instead of using time-tested medical precautions, we doomed many hemophiliacs to early deaths, along with hundreds of thousands of homosexual men. Published October 31, 2014

Connecting the Dots to Despotism Illustration by Greg Groesch/The Washington Times

KNIGHT: Connecting the dots to despotism

Recently, I wrote a column suggesting that we are living in an age of insanity. Events since show the madness morphing into soft despotism, which may harden into outright tyranny. Published October 24, 2014

KNIGHT: How a moral code outrages the secular left
