Slowing the rate of tyranny. A supremely important presidential issue is being generally neglected because Democrats have nothing interesting to say about it and Republicans differ among themselves about it.

George Will: Supreme Court Picks Will Be Critical
Slowing the rate of tyranny. A supremely important presidential issue is being generally neglected because Democrats have nothing interesting to say about it and Republicans differ among themselves about it. Four Supreme Court justices are into the fourth quarters of their potential centuries — Stephen Breyer (77), Antonin Scalia (79), ... MOREWalter E Williams: The Liberal And Progressive Vision
Here's my question to you: If an evil person is guaranteed that he can inflict physical pain upon others and guaranteed to never suffer pain himself, what happens to his willingness to inflict pain? You say, "What do you mean, Williams?" OK, I will make my question more concrete. Suppose a young punk knows that he can knock out an innocent person ... MOREThe Underbelly Of The California Drought
by Victor Davis Hanson. People should be represented as well as salmon. Even the high mountain lakes and reservoirs are about empty – and equally void of vacationers who have few places to boat, fish, and ski, and are unsure where the next forest fire will break out and force evacuations on often one-lane winding mountain roads. Four years of ... MOREJohn Tierney: The Reign of Recycling
Recycling 40K plastic bottles offsets 1 flight. If you live in the United States, you probably do some form of recycling. It’s likely that you separate paper from plastic and glass and metal. You rinse the bottles and cans, and you might put food scraps in a container destined for a composting facility. As you sort everything into the right bins, ... MOREWhat Ben Carson Means By Political Correctness
by Kevin Drum. Here is Ben Carson on Wednesday: At a campaign event in New Hampshire, Carson noted that many people believe a situation like what took place in Germany in the 1930's and 1940's could never happen in America. "I beg to differ," Carson said. "If you go back and look at the history of the world, tyranny and despotism and how it starts, ... MORETrump on 60 Minutes: “We Need Socialized Medicine”
by Emily Zanotti. This weekend, I got my third health insurance cancellation notice in three years. First, they cancelled the wonderful individual plan we bought for ourselves before the Obamacare law kicked in, after threatening to raise the price on it by over 50%. Then, they cancelled the plan we selected from the then-nonworking ... MORESF’s LAST GUN SHOP To Close Over City’s New Regs
by Jessica Chasmar. San Francisco’s
last gun shop has been a defiant fixture against the liberal city’s
suffocating arms policies for more than 60 years, but a new set of
regulations is forcing the owners to finally throw in the towel. The proposed new regulations would require High Bridge Arms in San Francisco’s Mission District to videotape all transactions ... MOREVIDEO: A Banned Segment From Saturday Night Live
The 1998 Robert Smigel animated short film "Conspiracy Theory Rock", part of a March 1998 "TV Funhouse" segment, has been removed from all subsequent airings of the Saturday Night Live episode where it originally appeared. NBC claimed the edit (critical of their parent company) was done because it "wasn't funny". NBC is owned by General Electric/Westinghouse.
Thomas Sowell: The Left Has Its Pope
The Pope is unwittingly calling for more poverty. Pope Francis has created political controversy, both inside and outside the Catholic Church, by blaming capitalism for many of the problems of the poor. We can no doubt expect more of the same during his visit to the United States. Pope Francis is part of a larger trend of the rise of the political ... MOREWalter E Williams: Liberal Reasoning - Idiotic or Dishonest?
A very convenience understanding at minimum. Many people argue that liberals, socialists and progressives do not understand basic economics. I am not totally convinced about that. Take the law of demand, for example, one of the fundamental principles of economics. It holds that the lower the cost of something the more people will ... MOREObama Chooses Openly Gay Man To Lead The Army
by Greg Jaffe. Political correctness has covered a lot of ground in 4 years. President Obama, in a historic first for the Pentagon, has chosen to
nominate Eric Fanning to lead the Army, a move that would make him the
first openly gay civilian secretary of one of the military services. Fanning,
47, has been a specialist on national security issues for more ... MOREPolitical Correctness At Colleges Is A Real Problem
by Ana Kasparian. Obama gets it right. During a recent town hall in Iowa,
President Obama addressed the issue of political correctness on college
campuses. He specifically called out liberal students who have
protested or banned conservative speakers at commencement ceremonies. “I’ve heard some college campuses where they ... MORETweaking The Propaganda: Obama Administration To Deploy "Behavioral Science" To Pimp Gov't Programs
by Charlie Spiering. A new executive order from President Obama directs all government agencies to use psychological science and data to help connect more Americans to government programs. The order instructs government agencies to use “behavioral science”— a tactic used by Obama’s political campaigns to harness data from their ... MOREDennis Chamberland: The Tyranny Of Consensus
Half science is no science. Never mind that climate change is the single most complex scientific question of human history. Human nature has managed to morph politics and science together into a repulsive, philosophic monstrosity -- half science and half religion -- specifically designed to reduce multifaceted, chaos-based theory and its ... MOREBlack, Gay Reporter Murders Straight, White Journalists — Media Blame The Gun
by Ben Shapiro. On Wednesday, America met a deeply evil human being: Vester Lee Flanagan II, also known as reporter Bryce Williams. Williams murdered two people while they were live on air on WDBJ in Virginia: reporter Alison Parker, and cameraman Adam Ward. After the murders, he went on the run – and while he was on the run, ... MORETammy Bruce: The Real War On Women
It must be admitted. There is a war on women. The Democrats have been screaming about this for years, and they should know. Because the war is their war on women all across the socioeconomic spectrum. Under President Obama, more women are unemployed, fewer women have started new businesses, we lost our health insurance, our doctors ... MOREPolitical Correctness Makes College Students Mentally Ill
by Daniel Greenfield. The biggest emotional bully wins. First, complaints of emotional distress are way up. Nearly all of the campus mental-health directors surveyed in 2013 by the American College Counseling Association reported that the number of students with severe psychological problems was rising at their schools. The rate of ... MORE
