The danger within. We have chosen to highlight United States agencies; however, this top 10 list has global impact, as the U.S. has now proven to be the enforcement division of the overarching globalist agenda of centralized control. One could argue that every government agency serves the purpose of stifling freedom and wasting ... MORE

Stop Talking About Freedom And Start Protecting It
Lawmakers pay lip service to liberty while trampling it. This year’s Rose Parade in Pasadena, California featured the Department of Defense’s “Freedom Isn’t Free” float. While nothing is close to free when DOD is involved—the B-2 bomber that made a fly-by as parade-goers cheered cost more than twice its weight in gold—the rose- ... MORE
Col. K Allard: Sequestration Spotlights Real Defense Abuses
Billions lost in cozy bureaucratic status quo. A panel of defense-industry executives complained last week to a National Press Club audience about the defense budget cuts known as sequestration. Calling those reductions “irresponsible,” TASC CEO David Langstaff said sequestration would shatter “our ability to execute U.S. national ... MORE
Defending The World, Bankrupting Ourselves
by Steve Chapman. The argument for leaving 10,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan after 2014 is more or less reasonable on its face. The Kabul government is fragile; our gains might be reversed; the Afghan military is not ready to stand on its own. Here's the unreasonable, unavoidable part: If we don't leave then, we probably never will. The lesson of the past ... MORE

Benghazi A Barometer Of Obama's Incompetence
by Robert Maginnis. The Sept. 11, 2012 Benghazi, Libya terrorist attack left four Americans dead including our ambassador,
destroyed our consulate, compromised sensitive information, and made
America look weak. This story lingers because it is a barometer on
President Barack Obama’s competence. The Benghazi attack exposed Obama’s foreign policy ... MORE
Karin McQuillan: Why Obama Chose To Let Them Die
What if al-Qaeda is not "on the run?" The burning question is why Obama didn't give orders to defend our consulate and American lives in Benghazi. The answer is becoming clearer each time President Obama and Secretary of Defense Panetta issue a denial or explanation of their inaction. To the president's surprise, he chanced on an honest ...

Civic Duty Vies With Cynicism as 2012 Election Approaches
by Steven Greenhut. It’s been years since I cared deeply about any election, yet I
find myself back to old habits—tracking polls and dealing with
those conflicting feelings that emerge this time of year. My sense
of deep cynicism, born from years of reporting on government
venality and stupidity, collides with my sense of civic duty. Few people can ... MORE
Juror In Cannabis Nullification Case Speaks Out!
Doing justice, not merely law enforcement. As reported earlier, a NH jury has found a man not guilty of growing cannabis in the first-ever (that I know of) use of jury nullification in NH! Now one of the jurors, who happens to be a Free State Project participant, Cathleen, is speaking out. Below is her written statement about her experience on the ... MORE
John Stossel: Wars To End War
America needs to reevaluate the military's mission. On his recent trip abroad, Mitt Romney observed an American taboo by not criticizing President Obama's military policy. But before his trip, he made his position clear. Obama has "exposed the military to cuts that no one can justify," Romney said. He meant that unless Congress intervenes ... MORE
Guns Are The Last Defense Against Tyranny
by Thomas J. Lucente Jr. On July 16, a pizza delivery driver in Columbus, Ohio, was delivering a pizza when two men armed with shotguns approached him. The deliveryman, who has a license to carry a concealed handgun, warned the men off. When they ignored his warnings, the pizza driver opened fire, injuring one of the robbers. On July 22, John ...

Jim Yardley: Ever Wonder Why We Even Bothered?
We the People trust ourselves, not government. When it comes to the concept of limited government, which is really at the heart of the recent imbroglio over Obamacare, the Constitution has been described as the law that controls the government. The Constitution starts off with a preamble that states: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a ... MORE

Steve Conover: Is Government Really 'The Solution'?
If so, the problem must be prosperity. Additional government action is facing tough obstacles today. But is conservative 'propaganda' really to blame? In a recent Washington Post op-ed, E.J. Dionne scolded his fellow liberals for refusing to admit what the Republicans have been saying all along: That liberals think government is the solution. ... MORE
Star Parker: Voter Rights Are Not Free
Just like freedom itself. Engraved large on one of the walls of the Korean War Veterans Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, DC are the words “Freedom is not free.” It is sad that so many are unable or unwilling to appreciate the truth of this simple phrase or are ready to heed those who have or seek power who distort it. I cannot think of ... MORE

Ted Nugent: Teach Your Children Freedom Isn't Free
Remember those who have paid the price. Freedom isn’t free. Never has been, never will be. Very special warriors have provided freedom at supreme sacrifice since time immemorial. Good people will never forget, and we celebrate Memorial Day with a hard-charging spirit in appreciation for hard-charging warriors. With his lifeblood pouring ... MORE

Ronald Bailey: Can Censorship Stop Bioterrorism?
Open science is the best defense to flu attack. In January, the U.S. National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) recommended that the journals Nature and Science restrict publication of controversial new research relevant to the transmission of avian flu between humans. The fear: Would-be bioterrorists may be combing the pages of ... MORE
Robert VerBruggen: Making A Hash Of The 2nd Amendment
Ignoring the Founders on gun rights. Harvard historian Jill Lepore has a piece attacking gun rights in the latest New Yorker, and a follow-up post on the magazine’s website. Most of it is basically what you’d expect: some numbers about gun violence, some horrifying anecdotes about people who’ve misused guns, some reporting from a gun range, some artsy ... MORE
