Our Presidents Are Beginning To Act Like Kings
by Charles C. W. Cooke. If the passage of time were a reliable guarantor of increasing human freedom, we would expect history to look a little different than it does.

David Harsanyi: Admit It. You Just Want Your Own Dictator
Leaders are unsavory, dangerous, and unAmerican. This incessant clamoring by voters and punditry for better "leaders" and
more "leadership" is one of the most unsavory, dangerous and
un-American tendencies in political discourse. When Donald Trump was asked last week by Joe Scarborough what he made of
an endorsement from ... MOREJohn Stossel: Politicians Without Borders
Today's politicians seem to have few limits. When driving on treacherous roads, guardrails are useful.

Recently, The Wall Street Journal's Kimberley Strassel used the phrase "no political guardrails" to point out how many of today's ... MOREStats Show Hillary’s Policies Cause Terrorism, Not Trump's

Clueless in D.C. When the President of the United States asks the television networks to set aside time for him to broadcast a speech from the Oval Office, we can usually expect that he has something new to say. But President Obama's speech Sunday night was just a rehash of what he has been saying all along, trying to justify policies that have ... MOREObama's Heaping Helping Of Government Regulations

It is, of course, facile for ... MORENational Debt Spikes $578 Billion In Three Weeks
