BEST OF #TruthStraightUp: Fighting for life
Being a conservative and being pro-choice is incongruent. Conservatives believe in the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but you can’t have liberty or pursue happiness without life. There is insurmountable, scientific evidence that the baby is a distinct human being at the moment of conception, and despite the Left’s […]
Socialism destroys the American Dream ft. Burgess Owens
The greatest threat to the American Dream today is socialism. The values America was founded on have led to growth and opportunity over generations, but socialism leads to the opposite. Socialism aims to steal dreams and hope from people everywhere. Americans must know their history, know the values that make America great, and […]
Colleges must be marketplaces of ideas ft. Carol Swain
There is a clear double standard when it comes to free speech on college campuses. When a conservative professor makes a controversial statement and a student complains, university administrators are quick to intervene, but there is a very different response when a leftist professor does the same. Universities are far more likely to […]
How young people can overcome opposition ft. Bay Buchanan
Young people today face incredible challenges when it comes to standing up for their beliefs. Whether it is on their college campuses or in the workforce, young conservatives face incredible opposition on a regular basis. This can often lead to feeling intimidated or being hesitant to express one’s views, but it shouldn’t. Instead, […]
The answer to “hate speech” is free speech ft. Christina Hoff Sommers
Free speech is under serious threat in America today. People will always try to censor speech they disagree with by claiming that dissenting speech is hate speech—but this is wrong. If something doesn’t change, college students could represent a generation where freedom went to die. It is time for students everywhere to fight […]
The United States is a force for good ft. Burt Folsom
Throughout history, the United States has been a force for good around the world. Sure, America has its flaws, but America has stepped in to support other nations, and even its enemies, in ways that have never been done before. No other nation has been so generous to friends and enemies alike, but […]
The real death row is inside Planned Parenthood ft. Kristan Hawkins
Abortion is a death penalty for preborn babies. Liberals are always concerned with the rights of convicted murderers on death row, but what about the rights of preborn babies. While there are good arguments for and against the death penalty, there has yet to be an argument that explains why spending millions of […]
Conservatives must stand firm in their beliefs ft. Michael Reagan
Now more than ever, it is crucial for conservatives to know what they believe and why they believe it. President Reagan knew what he believed and why because he was a ferocious reader of everything. Reagan was a firm believer that books are not meant to just impress others, but are meant to […]
“Back alley” abortions don’t justify legalizing abortion ft. Anna Strasburg
Pro-abortion progressives claim that making abortion illegal will only lead to more “back alley” abortions and that more abortions will be performed by non-medical professionals. But the possibility of something occurring despite it being illegal isn’t justification for legalizing it. The “back alley” pro-abortion argument is founded on faulty logic. Making abortion illegal […]
Identity politics is racist ft. Jason Mattera
Identity politics is rooted in the belief that truth is subjective. Liberals reduce a person’s identity down to race, gender, or sexual orientation and favor group status over character. While constantly accusing people and institutions of systemic discrimination and oppression, liberals actually promote racial preferences on college campuses, in government, and in business. […]
