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.

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.

It's all because the charity is infected secondhand with the virus known as Christianity.

ROBERT KNIGHT: Obama’s immigration order regresses America

As President Obama with a single order created what he hopes will be an eventual new electorate via millions of illegal aliens, he did not break new ground; he put America on very old and dangerous ground: government by decree.

Illustration on equality and tolerance as an excuse for anti-religious tyranny by Alexander Hunter/The Washington Times

ROBERT KNIGHT: A brave new world of intolerance

After decades of chipping away at America's Christian heritage, the liberal enforcers of "equality" and "tolerance" are more open about the brave new future they envision: It's their way or nobody's way.

ROBERT KNIGHT: Upending the new immoral order

Tuesday's Republican wave election was not just about the economy, repealing Obamacare, illegal immigration, failed foreign policy or the nation's nearly $18 trillion debt.

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.

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.
