Opponents first said, “Show us the evidence.” When shown they next admitted, “Okay, there was fraud but not enough to change the outcome.” When hundreds of whistleblowers, many Democrats, surfaced and millions of Americans viewed captured videos of filmed corruption in nightly news broadcasts showing otherwise, that lie evaporated. Thousands either participated in it or witnessed it. Whe...
By Stephen Dinan and Alex Swoyer - The Washington Times School civics classes teach that the Constitution guarantees the right to remain silent, freedom of speech, equal protection under the law, and a wall of separation between church and state. Except the founding document never actually talks about a wall. “It’s something that the courts and anti-religious groups created to keep religion out of our public square,” says John Bursch, senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom. Like so much of founding-era wisdom, the concept of separ...
