Jack Kerwick: Why Ron Paul Is Ignored By GOP

Neoconservatives fear classical conservatives. It is hard not to be amazed by the blackout of media coverage of Ron Paul’s presidential campaign. Had Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, Jon Huntsman, or any second-tier candidate been performing as remotely as well as Paul has, he would no longer be regarded as a “second-tier” candidate. To the credit of such    ... MORE

Alan M Aszkler: Fracking Fluid Fear-Mongering Farce

Chicken Little's latest eco-sham. EPA bureaucrats and Green Avengers perpetrate a daily nonsensical assault touting the grave consequences of fracking fluid and its secret ingredients.

John Stossel: Almost Everything We're Taught Is Wrong

Using economics to explode fallacies. We grow up learning that some things are just bad: child labor, ticket scalping, price gouging, kidney selling, blackmail, etc. But maybe they're not. What I love about economics is that it can show that what seems harmful is actually good for society. It illuminates what common sense overlooks. This was the subject of my Fox ... MORE

Art Carden: Lemonade And Liberty

Government regulators seek to restrain individual liberty. What do you do when life hands you lemons? If you’re about to say “make lemonade,” make sure you have a permit first or you might get an unwelcome visit from a government official.

Ed Jones: The Civil Rights Issue Of The 21st Century

School choice promotes the free market and individual liberty. It is often difficult to feel optimistic about the future of liberty. Those of us who value individual liberty and free markets look only at the encroachment of government in our lives. We often overlook the victories that should give us hope for the future of liberty. The school choice movement is one of the most    ... MORE

No need to ask whose side he is on.

Bob Beauprez: Tangling The Economy In Red Tape

4200 new rules or revisions in the Obama pipeline. Way back in January President Obama ordered "a government-wide review of the rules already on the books to remove outdated regulations that stifle job creation and make our economy less competitive." From that statement alone, you might conclude that Obama already knew that finding needless, burdensome regulation ...

The study found that only 8.4 percent of U.S. lawmakers majored ... MORE

Green Latern: Why Government Does Not Create Jobs

Too many cooks spoil the stew. If you want to know why $800 billion in government stimulus spending has created 9 percent unemployment, all you have to do is look at the windmill in Milwaukee. The project involves a single wind turbine 154 feet tall (small by today's standard) that is supposed to supply some electricity to the Milwaukee Port Authority. The $500,000 project is being ... MORE

John T Bennett: Obama Baits The Dependency Trap

There is such a thing as a free lunch -- except for taxpayers. The Obama administration is busy expanding the exact type of vicious, ungrateful underclass which recently exploded in London. An administration program will expand free school meal coverage to millions of young people who are not even supposed to be eligible. A stated goal of the program is to eliminate the stigma of ...

Brent Bozell: NPR - The Statism Network

Big government propaganda at taxpayer expense. One of the greatest perversions of statism is the use of taxpayer money to push for ever more government spending and intervention. A casual listener to the far-left end of the FM dial, National Public Radio, will quickly conclude that NPR is one of America's leading offenders in this perversion. Let's just take one ... MORE
