ACLU's Gift of Starvation Illustration by Greg Groesch/The Washington Times

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: Impeaching the truth

All this talk of Republicans being on the verge of impeaching President Obama is nonsense, stoked by Democrats whipping up their base, and a few wistful conservatives who dream aloud about what, in a sane nation, should actually happen to a lawless president. Published August 1, 2014
