Tonight on the Factor, Bill O’Reilly put forward an interesting, sobering argument regarding the classification of President Obama as a socialist by some conservatives.

Coast Guard Academy Law Prof. Proposes Hybrid Court for Dealing With Guantanamo Detainees

President Obama’s self-imposed January 20th deadline for the closing of the U.S. Detention Facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba has come and gone.

In today’s New York Post, commentator Thomas Sowell did a great job unpacking the misguided and dangerous thinking behind the UK’s foolish and immoral decision to release Abdel Baset al-Megrahi — the Libyan terrorist whose bomb sent 270 innocent people to their horrific deaths over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988.
