Ben Stein: Our Presidential Know Nothing

Besides the Constitution, what else doesn't he know? Here, in outline form, is why the pronouncements from President Barack Obama, warning the Supreme Court to not overturn Obamacare. are so chilling: 1. The President supposedly went to Harvard Law School, graduated from same, was Law Review President of the Harvard Law Review at  ... MORE

Andrew Napolitano: What Is A Just War?

When safety and liberty are threatened.   When President Obama announced last April that he was sending the United States military to bomb Libya, he not only violated the United States Constitution, which he has taken an oath to uphold, but he also violated the moral principles of the just war. The Constitution permits only Congress to declare war and the   ... MORE

Pat Buchanan: Is Ron Paul A Reactionary Or A Visionary?

As our situation is new, we must think anew.   After his fourth-place showing in Florida, , by then in Nevada, told supporters he had been advised by friends that he would do better if only he dumped his views, which have been derided as isolationism. Not going to do it, said Dr. Paul to cheers. And why should he?           ... MORE

John Stossel: Policing The World


Can a debtor nation afford to police the world? With an election approaching and at least some Americans upset about irresponsible spending, the president has finally expressed a political interest in cutting something. He says the Pentagon will spend "only" $525 billion next year. That's slightly less than the current $531 billion. A cut is good, but this will barely ... MORE

Mike Riggs: Gary Johnson Braves The ACLU

Libertarian candidate charms civil libertarians. On January 29 the Miami Herald ran a full-page ad excoriating Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney for their “abysmal” constitutional records. The ad wasn’t paid for by Ron Paul or his supporters, but by the American Civil Liberties Union, which invited the GOP field to its annual staff convention in Orlando to “face the  ... MORE

Patriot-News: What Separates Ron Paul From The Pack

Only Paul seeks to minimize the role of the state. At a recent GOP debate, the presidential candidates were asked what they would be doing on a Saturday night if they weren’t running for president. The responses were typically safe and predictable, mostly having to do with watching sports, but one brave soul said he would be reading an economics textbook.   ... MORE

In 1940, Charlie Chaplin unwittingly made a pitch for Ron Paul.

Viveca Novak: Military Donors Prefer Ron Paul

Military personnel support Paul on defense.   GOP presidential candidate and Air Force veteran Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) continues to highlight his strong support from members of the armed forces as he hits the campaign trail following his third-place finish in Iowa. And the numbers continue to bear him out, according to research by the Center for ... MORE

Katie Kieffer: The Real Ron Paul Stands Up


May I have your attention please?  Will the real Ron Paul please stand up? I repeat, will the real Ron Paul please stand up? I keep hearing the same three rumors about Paul: He blames America for 9/11, he’s anti-Israel and he’s pro-Iran. So, who is the real Ron Paul? Does he blame America for 9/11? No, he’s very patriotic. Bob Schieffer recently interviewed ... MORE

Jim Cardoza: Ron Paul & The 100 MPH Train

LibertyPen's endorsement of Ron Paul.   GOP leaders prefer Mitt Romney to be their party's nominee. They see him as the most electable, in part because he is the most moderate. The media prefers Newt Gingrich. As big government devotees, they want more Obama and believe the nomination of Newt best serves that purpose. The tea party movement, which   ... MORE

VIDEO: Andrew Napolitano - The Case For Austerity


Denial is should not be an economic policy. 
"We must swallow the bitter pill of austerity now on our own terms, while we are still the undisputed leader of the free world and while we still have a Constitution."

Greg Beato: Pepper Spray's Progressive Origins

Government's favorite air freshener also works for individuals.  In late September, a New York cop started spritzing Occupy Wall Street protestors with the predatory zeal of a Macy’s fragrance demonstrator dispensing free samples of Kim Kardashian’s latest perfume. Then, Seattle’s finest chemically neutralized an 84-year-old grannie. Next there was Lt. John Pike in ... MORE

Rand Paul: War On Terror Doesn't Justify Retreat On Rights

Constitution entitles American citizens to civilian trial.    James Madison, father of the Constitution, warned, “The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become instruments of tyranny at home.” Abraham Lincoln had similar thoughts, saying, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be ... MORE

Mark Steyn: More, More, More

What does government have in common with a porn actress? I see Andrea True died earlier this month. The late disco diva enjoyed a brief moment of global celebrity in 1976 with her ubiquitous glitterball favorite: More More More.  In honor of Andrea’s passing, I have asked my congressman to propose the adoption of this song as the U.S.     ...

John Fricke: Should I Buy A Gun?

A question everyone should be asking.  I have never owned a gun. Matter of fact, I have fired a gun a grand total of one time in my life. I shouldered a shotgun out in the north Georgia woods when I was nineteen years old and fired at a milk bottle filled with water as a target. The kick from the gun nearly tore my shoulder off, since I obviously had no clue what ... MORE

GALLUP Poll: Support For Gun Control Lowest In 50 Years

Another manifestation of widespread distrust of government. A record-low 26% of Americans favor a legal ban on the possession of handguns in the United States other than by police and other authorized people. When Gallup first asked Americans this question in 1959, 60% favored banning handguns. But since 1975, the majority of Americans have opposed ... MORE
