Family Security Matters does not stand behind or endorse any candidate for president (or any other public office). However, as the President is also Commander-in-Chief and is responsible for setting national security policy, we will be publishing a variety of articles on both the Republican and Democrat candidates for President during this election year. As always, the opinions of our Contributing Editors are their own, and do not necessarily reflect those of Family Security Matters.

The White House said Thursday that dangerous detainees at Guantanamo Bay could end up walking Main Street U.S.A. as a result of last month's Supreme Court ruling about detainees' legal rights. Federal appeals courts, however, have indicated they have no intention of letting that happen.

The quiz is made up of 20 questions found on the actual citizenship test with a few curveballs in the mix. The last ten questions may be a bit harder, but a score of around 24 out of 30 is considered a passing grade.

Happy Birthday, America! It is a great time for all of us to remember all those who sacrificed, so that those of us living now can enjoy the blessings of freedom. The gift of American citizenship was not earned by ancestors who appeased the series of enemies that this blessed nation has had to confront. Jonathan Tobin explains the facts underlying this historical truth.

In To Set the Record Straight: How Swift Boat Veterans, POWs and the New Media Defeated John Kerry, authors Scott Swett and Tim Ziegler counter the implications of the “Swiftboating” meme in a heavily-researched 400-page work that provides the first in-depth historical assessment of the impact of veterans on the 2004 Presidential campaign.
“The ‘Swiftboating’ slogan is used by leftist politicians and members of the old media to smear the Swift Vets and other anti-Kerry veterans as liars. The truth is that they were effective because they supported their charges with evidence. A second goal of this tactic is to preempt any criticism of Sen. Obama and the other Democrats they are trying to elect – however accurate and relevant such criticism may be,” said Scott Swett, the primary author of To Set the Record Straight.
