The greatest moral claim of the political left is that they are for the masses in general and the poor in particular.
That is also their greatest fraud. It even fools many leftists themselves.

Anti-Gun California State Senator Busted Running Guns
Hypocrisy on parade. State Sen. Leland Yee,
an outspoken advocate of gun control and open government, was arrested
Wednesday on charges that he conspired to traffic in firearms and traded
favors in Sacramento for bribes - campaign cash paid by men who turned
out to be undercover FBI agents. Yee, a Democrat who represents
half ... MOREGavin Newsom: 'War On Drugs Is Abject Failure'
California Lieutenant Governor takes a stand. Citing the myriad politicians who have recently publicly declared their support for gay marriage, Newsom suggested it was time for leaders to "come out of the closet" on marijuana, too. "I am sick and tired of politicians saying one thing in private and saying another in public," he said. "It's time ... MORE
John Stossel: Libertarian's Awkward Bedfellows
Limited government advocates are not morally suspect. Last week, Conservative pundit Ann Coulter told me and a thousand young libertarians that we libertarians are puss- -- well, she used slang for a female body part. We were in Washington, D.C., at the Students for Liberty conference, taping my TV show, and she didn't like my questions ... MORESteve Chapman: Higher Taxes, Smaller Government?
Incentives needed to curb spending. It comes as no surprise to hear anti-tax activist Grover
Norquist talk about tax cuts, but it does come as a surprise to
hear him raise the subject of pink unicorns. Pink unicorns are purely imaginary—a trait he says they share
with the spending curbs that Republicans hope to get from the
administration in exchange ... MORE
Steve Chapman: Situation Lousy, Don't Change A Thing
Voters seem to like the status quo. Republicans are mystified that in a nation they know as
fundamentally conservative, a president they regard as deeply
radical has been re-elected. But Americans didn't vote for Barack
Obama because they are liberal. They voted for him because they are
conservative. Not conservative as defined by modern ... MORE
Left Wants Multiculturalism To Trump Free Speech
by Victor Davis Hanson. The American Left used to champion free expression. We were lectured --
correctly -- that the price of being repulsed by occasional crude talk
and art was worth paying. Only that way could Americans ensure our daily
right to criticize those with greater power and influence whom we found
wrong and objectionable. ... MORE
John Stossel: What I Ask Of Romney And Obama
Free people should be left alone by government. The Republican Convention ended on the theme "Believe in America." That sounded nice, but it was just another platitude. Mitt Romney's speech was filled with platitudes: "We will honor America's democratic ideals. ... We're united to preserve liberty." Please. Liberals and conservatives have real ... MOREJames S Robbins: The Coming American Counterrevolution
A divided nation faces down fundamental change. The partisan divide in the United States may be past the point of no return. It could well be a symptom of greater changes in the American polity that herald the advent of potentially revolutionary change. On Monday, the Pew Research Center issued its annual report on American values, which revealed ... MOREJacob Hornerger: Libertarians Vesus Liberals On The Poor
Incentives to produce are the key. Wouldn't it be great to have national debate between liberals and libertarians over whose philosophy and policies help the poor? For decades liberals have claimed that the welfare-state/regulated-economy way of life helps the poor. That has been the major rationale for the statist way of life under which we have all been ... MORETim Mak: Internet Censor Bill To Target Political Websites
SOPA is the end of us, say bloggers. The conservative and liberal blogospheres are unifying behind opposition to Congress’s Stop Online Piracy Act, with right-leaning bloggers aruging their very existence could be wiped out if the anti-piracy bill passes. “If either the U.S. Senate’s Protect IP Act (PIPA) & the U.S. House’s Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) ... MOREThe Unintended Consequences Of Racial Preferences
by George Will. The Supreme Court faces a discomfiting decision. If it chooses, as it should, to hear a case concerning racial preferences in admissions at the University of Texas, the court will confront evidence of its complicity in harming the supposed beneficiaries of preferences the court has enabled and encouraged. In the 1978 Bakke case concerning preferences in a ... MOREJames Lewis: Cain Versus The Lynch Mob
Liberals can't help but give themselves away. Hi Tech Lynching is here again! Shades of Justice Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill. Well, let 'em try, but now they are facing a revived conservative media. This is a trial of strength. When Clarence Thomas was nominated to the Supreme Court he had few defenders. Today we have talk radio and the blogs. As a morality play ... MOREGary Horne: Government Against The People
The ruling elite's increasing willingness to use force. If there is a single feature distinguishing the left from the rest of civil society, it is the willingness to use force. While claiming to be for the people, the statists consistently use force against others. The use of force and disrespect for the property of others by the Wisconsin union mobs and the occupy-Wall ...
