KNIGHT: Kansas leads way against ballot fraud
Kansas is one of those schizophrenic states that produce movers and shakers on both sides of the aisle, plus a lot of moderates like Viagra pitchman Bob Dole. Published May 18, 2012
KNIGHT: Obama's wicked marriage proposal
After having done everything in his power to undermine marriage, President Obama has come out of the closet, so to speak, with his announcement that he's now for brideless or groomless "marriage." But he didn't come out alone. Published May 11, 2012
KNIGHT: Taking a chisel to the Ten Commandments
God Almighty needs an editor, according to a federal judge in Virginia. At least, He does when the Ten Commandments are on government property. Published May 9, 2012
KNIGHT: Saving the planet, one crucifixion at a time
What do Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico have in common? They make up the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Region 6. They also constitute the core of America's energy production, especially oil. Published May 4, 2012
KNIGHT: The audacity of cynicism
Barack Obama's 2006 best-seller, "The Audacity of Hope," gave us a number of clues as to how he would govern based on his worldview. We can't say we weren't warned. Amid the graceful prose, we see underlying hostility toward the idea of revealed truth (apart from his own). Published April 27, 2012
KNIGHT: Earth Day co-founder written out of history
Like many liberal causes that have gone mainstream, powered by partisan media, Earth Day had some very rad- ical beginnings. Published April 20, 2012
KNIGHT: ACLU fails to establish right to porn
Wenatchee, Wash., famous for apples and wine, may become famous in the culture wars as well. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) just took it on the chin there over its ongoing campaign to force public libraries to accommodate perverts in raincoats. Published April 19, 2012
KNIGHT: Titanic misappropriation of Reagan
The Titanic went down 100 years ago, on April 15, 1912. It took just two hours and 40 minutes for the sea to swallow the ship that "God Himself couldn't sink." Published April 13, 2012
KNIGHT: Obama's bullying pulpit
I don't know which was more embarrassing: Barack Obama trying to bully the Supreme Court - again - or The Washington Post trying to clean up after him. Published April 6, 2012
KNIGHT: Overplaying the hate card
If Oscars were awarded for liberal hysteria, California's Rep. Barbara Lee would be a perennial contender. On Tuesday, at a congressional forum on the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin, Ms. Lee proclaimed that it was the result of "a toxic and deadly mix." Published March 30, 2012
KNIGHT: Taming the EPA monster
Slowly, inexorably, the monster is being driven back to its lair. Its days of terrorizing villagers may soon be over. I wish I were talking about the federal government, but it's the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), better known as the Environmental Protection-or-else Agency. Published March 23, 2012
KNIGHT: Betrayal by any other name
What would you call it if some Americans went overseas to the United Nations Human Rights Council and gave aid and comfort to some of the most repressive regimes on the planet? Published March 16, 2012
KNIGHT: Will high court adopt the coercion test?
As the American Civil Liberties Union prowls the land to muzzle public prayers, rip out Ten Commandments monuments and terrify small towns over Nativity scenes, help may be on the way from the U.S. Supreme Court. Published March 9, 2012
KNIGHT: Power to the people's overseers
Liberals love coercion. They think they're smarter than the rest of us. If they didn't, they wouldn't expend so much effort inventing new rules and laws for our betterment. Published March 2, 2012
KNIGHT: Lying because it works
This year's presidential election will be a contest between truth and lies. Don't think it's that stark? Let's compare how the media handled two incidents. On Feb. 16, philanthropist Foster Friess, a major backer and adviser to Rick Santorum, cracked a joke that became a media sensation. Published February 24, 2012
KNIGHT: Voter fraud in this life and the next
Did you know that according to a new Pew study, more than 1.8 million dead people are registered to vote? And that leading Democrats are fiercely opposing new laws that tighten voting requirements? Published February 17, 2012
KNIGHT: Paper-thin cover for liberal agenda
Although I get a lot of news online, I love to read real newspapers. You can linger forever on a particular page without getting eye strain, or you can physically flip it with gusto to show your contempt for what some editor thought should be holding your interest. Published February 10, 2012
KNIGHT: With many claiming his mantle, it's important to get Reagan right
Ronald Reagan, who would have turned 101 on Feb. 6, no doubt would have been amused by the number and ideological diversity of people claiming some part of the Reagan mantle. Published February 3, 2012
KNIGHT: Keeping marriage real
Maryland's Civil Marriage Protection Act is profoundly misnamed. In fact, it should more accurately be called the Attack on Religious Freedom Enabling Act. Published February 1, 2012
