Kids don't learn? Common Core! Crime up? Spend on police! (Or for leftists: increase welfare!) Immigrants? Seal the border! Ebola? More money and ... MORE

Doug Newman: They Thought They Were Fighting For Freedom But Are Now Abused By America's Police State
Veterans abused by government. It is easy to stand up and cheer for your favorite government activity. It is quite another to acknowledge what it means in the real world. I almost never try to speak for other people. However, I think it is fairly safe to say that the average military recruit firmly believes that he joins the military so that you and ... MORE

Tammy Bruce: America Is Turning In To A Police State
The stench of tyranny is in the air. With so much happening internationally and the number of scandals, crises and general screw-ups of the Obama administration here at home, it’s worth noting a disturbing development here on the domestic front: a rapidly expanding police state.
