Michael F. Haverluck: Homeschoolers Face 23 Years In Jail For Missing The Filing Deadlines Imposed By The State
Treating citizens like slaves. Parents from two homeschooling families in Ohio face up to 23 years in jail for missing filing deadlines imposed by the state. Despite the fact that each of the families

Individual rights must be preserved - without interference from government. What is the role of government in society? This has been and remains the most fundamental question in all political discussions and debates. Its answer determines the nature of the social order and how people are expected and allowed to interact with one another ... MOREJoel Kurtinitis: Ted Cruz’s Quiet Coup In Iowa
The process of discovery. I
came home exhausted on Caucus night, just as I had many other nights in
the year leading up to our first-in-the-nation nominating contest. As a veteran of the Ron Paul revolution,
I considered myself a hardened political warrior, charging the trenches
of the establishment and lobbing internet hand grenades at ... MORENick Gillespie: Two Cheers (& More!) For Rand Paul!
This was only the beginning. With Rand Paul's suspension of his campaign for the Republican
presidential nomination comes an understandable deluge of autopsies, elegies, screw-yous, and snarky subtweets. Yet I come not to bury the "libertarian-ish" Paul but to praise him. In five short years as a senator,
he's already elevated a host ... MOREThe Only Small Government Candidate Leaves The Race
by Anthony L. Fisher. The era of big government continues. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul has suspended his campaign for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. In a statement released this morning, Paul wrote: It's been an incredible honor to run a principled campaign for the White House. Today, I will end where I began, ready and willing to ... MOREWalter E Williams: Isn't It Strange
More inconvenient truths. There is a letter titled "Isn't It Strange?" making the rounds in email boxes. It asks questions to which our fellow Americans should know the answers, save for those caught up in modernity. It starts off asking, "Isn't it strange that after a bombing, everyone blames the bomber, his upbringing, his environment, ... MOREWhy Libertarians (Still) Plot To Take Over New Hampshire
by Madison Pauly. On February 18, hundreds of libertarians will flock to the Radisson Hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire, for the ninth annual Liberty Forum, a four-day conference featuring presentations on topics such as religious freedom, school choice, and "Anarchy: Dressing for Success." A big draw will be Edward Snowden's keynote speech, ... MOREProstitution Decriminalization Debated In New Hampshire
by Elizabeth Nolan Brown. New Hampshire legislators last week debated the merits of decriminalizing prostitution,
in response to a bipartisan bill filed by state Reps. Amanda Bouldin
(D-Hillsborough), Carole McGuire (R-Merrimack), and Elizabeth Edwards
(D-Hillsborough). On Thursday, January 28, the New Hampshire Criminal Justice and ... MOREWill Our Freedoms Survive Another Presidential Election?
by John W. Whitehead. Who needs bread and circuses when you have the assortment of clowns and contortionists that are running for the White House? Truly, politics in America has been reduced to a three-ring circus
complete with carnival barkers, acrobats, contortionists, jugglers,
lion tamers, animal trainers, tight rope walkers, freaks, strong men, ... MOREWhy Government Should Not Regulate The App Economy
by Iain Murray. In Damon Runyon’s Broadway stories (and in the musical Guys and Dolls),
a gambler named Nathan Detroit hosts New York’s oldest established
floating crap game, presaging three functions of today’s app revolution.
Thinking of the app market in such nontechnological terms shows us what
is really happening today and lays bare the ... MOREMike Hume: Should Anything Be ‘Beyond A Joke’?
Intolerant conformism is no laughing matter. Comedy, it seems, is no laughing matter these days, caught up in one controversy after another over the acceptable limits of humor. Last week it was the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo that was in the firing line again, accused of racism by everybody from the Queen of Jordan to ... MOREJury-Nullification Activist Delivers In-Your-Face Defense
by Bob Unruh. A Michigan man charged with felony
obstruction of justice and jury tampering for handing out a leaflet on
jury nullification in front of a courthouse contends the local
prosecutor’s objection to the contents of his material doesn’t make his
actions a crime. Keith Wood, a former pastor, was arrested Nov. 24 on the orders of Mecosta ... MOREIt’s Far Past Time To Take Back Our Nation
by David J. D'Addabbo. Obama and his global agenda allies are using the media as a propaganda machine to create the Illusion that stricter gun control will somehow protect the people. This is of course a lie proven over and over again by unarmed citizens getting slaughtered! Governments are unlawfully regulating away all of our rights, under color of ... MOREStop Expecting Rand Paul To Be Ron Paul
by Eric July. Libertarian elitism is something that truly annoys me, but it really shows itself when we have these Rand Paul vs. Ron Paul discussions during our current election cycle. Do not get me wrong, it isn’t completely absurd that someone would compare a man to his father. But if one is alluding to an expectation that Rand is supposed to be ... MOREIndividualism Is Battling The Politically Managed Mind
by Richard Ebeling. Eroding the freedom to choose. Wherever we turn we are confronted with politicians, political pundits, television talking heads, and editorial page commentators, all of whom offer an array of plans, programs, and projects that will solve the problems of the world – if only government is given the power and authority to remake ... MOREAmerica's History Of Justice: How Jury Nullification Set Wild Bill Hickok Free Although He Killed A Man Illegally!
Because justice is a result, not simply a process. On July 20 1865, James Butler “Wild Bill” Hickok was playing in a poker game at the Lyon House Hotel in Springfield MO., when a friend of his, Davis Tutt showed up claiming Hickok owed him $45 from an earlier game. Hickok said he only owed $25 since he had paid Tutt $20 some days ... MORE
