by John W. Whitehead. “Don’t Be a Puppet” is the message the FBI is sending young Americans. As part of the government’s so-called ongoing war on terror, the nation’s de facto secret police force is now recruiting students and teachers to spy on each other and report anyone who appears to have the potential to be “anti-government” or “extremist.” ...

by John W. Whitehead. “Don’t Be a Puppet” is the message the FBI is sending young Americans.

MOREDebt Collection, At The End Of A Gun (Update)
by Scott Greenfield. A good friend came to me decades ago with a problem. He received a letter from the Department of Education informing him that he had to repay his student loans that had been incurred decades earlier. He did repay them, he told me. “You have proof?” I asked. Are you kidding? It was 25 years ago. I threw the checks away decades ... MOREDaniel Holtzclaw And The Limits Of “Community Policing”
by Victoria M. Massie. At the sentencing last week of Daniel Holtzclaw — the 29-year-old former Oklahoma City police officer convicted on 18 counts of rape and sexual assault of African-American women in the neighborhood he was assigned to patrol — District Attorney David Prater told the media: “I think people need to realize that this is not a ” ... MOREMike Reid: The Hitchhiker’s Guide To Charity
Economic principles can save your life. His gaze flicked over my backpack. “You have to put that in the back,” he said. “I don’t know if you have a knife in there.” If I knew then what I know now, I would never have gotten into that blue Pontiac. By that time, I’d hitchhiked thousands of miles with hundreds of different drivers, and they were almost ... MOREWalter E Williams: Immorality And Contempt For Liberty
Some Americans have become beasts of burden. American immorality and contempt for liberty lie at the root of most of the political economic problems our nation faces. They explain the fiscal problems we face, such as growing national debt and budget deficits at the federal, state and local levels of government. Our immorality and ... MORE
High School Journalism Teacher Gets Suspended After Standing Up For Student Reporters' Free Speech Rights

ways when student reporters tried to write a newspaper article about
the recent dismissal of a popular teacher and debate coach. San Gabriel High School principal Jim Schofield sent an email telling
newspaper adviser Jennifer Kim to kill the story ... MOREForced Silence Is One Way To Shut Up Political Opponents
by John Stossel. Campaign finance rules = major threat to freedom. In a democracy, citizens must be able to criticize their leaders. It's a reason America's founders put free speech in the Bill of Rights. I assumed that right is safe in the United States. So I was shocked to learn what happened in Wisconsin. Before dawn, Deborah Jordahl was ... MOREWoman Flips Off Mayor, So He Sends SWAT Team After Her

Public School Students Are The New Police State Inmates
by John W. Whitehead. In the American police state, you’re either a prisoner (shackled, controlled, monitored, ordered about, limited in what you can do and say, your life not your own) or a prison bureaucrat (police officer, judge, jailer, spy, profiteer, etc.). When you’re a child in the American police state, life is that much worse. Microcosms of ... MOREMark Meckler: The Overarmed And Dangerous Police State
More guns than brains makes for a bad combo. Imagine waking up at 5:30 a.m. in your third-floor apartment to a SWAT team raiding your family with guns drawn. You’re barely clothed, but you immediately grab your seven-year-old and 18-month-old daughters. You begin praying, hoping that everything will be okay and you will all survive. ... MOREJohn W. Whitehead: The Raping Of America
Mile markers on the road to fascism.“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”—Martin Luther King Jr. There’s an ill will blowing across the country. The economy is tanking. The people are directionless, and politics provides no answer. And like former regimes, the militarized police have stepped up ... MOREProgress Through State Violence Or Smaller Government?
by John Stossel. Obamacare! The War on Drugs! A War on Poverty! Prohibition! The idea that government will bring social progress isn't new. Europe's monarchs believed in big government long before there was a Soviet Union or a welfare state. Eighteenth-century philosopher Voltaire praised "enlightened" monarchs like Prussia's Frederick the ... MORE

by Lenore Skenazy. Yet another heart-wrenching state-sanctioned kidnapping. Here’s another horrifying case from the Family Defense Center in Chicago. A baby’s fractured leg convinced the Department of Child and Family Services that she had been abused, despite the fact that fractures like hers are common in kids, and there was absolutely no other ... MOREMD Criticisms Of ObamaCare Silenced By ACA Bureaucrats
by Drs. Gerard J Gianoli and Joel L. Strom. Don't expect your doctor to stand up and protest about how the Affordable Care Act is responsible for so many of the health care problems that patients face today. As a physician and a dentist in private practice, we have spent the past five years making the case that the ACA is harming our ... MOREThe Border Patrol's Unconstitutional Drug Dragnet
by Jacob Sullum. More evidence the government is not us. If you want to know how Jessica Cooke ended up on her back, screaming in pain as the barbs from a stun gun delivered incapacitating electricity into her body, there are several possible answers. You could say this indignity was caused by her own stubbornness, her refusal to comply with the ... MOREPolitical Correctness: The Antithesis Of Science
by J.T. Young. Despite attempts to cloak itself in science, political correctness is the very opposite. The political correctness movement’s real emphasis is on politics, not correctness. Its goal is to have prevailing thought determined by a political dynamic. As repeatedly witnessed, political correctness is about installing its subjective version of ... MORE
