John Stossel - Freedom To And From Religion

Government more powerful than God.  Religious oppression was one reason many of our ancestors came to America. They wanted to escape rulers who demanded that everyone worship their way.

Walter E Williams: Reality May Be Optional

Let's pretend instead.   One of the wonders of modern times is that reality is often seen as a social construct and therefore optional.

Hillary: Resistance To Gun Control 'Terrorizes' The Nation

Not a fan of gun rights.   If Hillary Clinton ever gets around to telling voters her positions on controversial issues, it is not clear what she will say about gun control. Over the years, her stance has ranged from support for gun licensing and registration to an NRA-esque desire to "enforce the laws that we have on the books." Still, her disregard for armed self-  ...

by J.D. Tuccille.         Job one for Sen. Rand Paul in his new role as Republican presidential aspirant is to somehow distinguish himself from ideological doppelganger Sen.
