Should they attack the GOP's achilles heel. Legalizing marijuana is an issue made to order for the Democratic
Party. A majority of Americans now supports the idea, and so do two out
of three Democrats. Two states have done it, and several more may vote
on it in 2016. The party could put the issue to use against Republicans, who have ... MORE

Gallup Poll Predicts Democrat Midterm Wipeout
by Chriss Street. The prospects of hope and change. According to the Washington Post, President Obama has been hammering at Democratic fundraisers for the past few months that his party always gets “clobbered in midterm elections.” Although the midterm elections are usually regarded as a referendum on the sitting president's ...

Barry Farber: My Fear Of GOP Overconfidence
This is miserable casting. You’ve got no business expecting me to do Clark Gable’s work. But nobody else is doing it, and it must be done. In an early scene in “Gone With the Wind,” before the Civil War started, a big party was rocking Tara, the plantation inhabited by Scarlett O’Hara. In the library, a gaggle of Southern cadets from a military academy ... MORE

S.M. Oliva: Michael Jordan Vs. Free Speech
Circuit court ruling gives fame a First Amendment veto. In 2009, Michael Jordan's entry into the Naismith Memorial
Basketball Hall of Fame was marred by
a “petty and punitive” speech focused more on settling old
scores than celebrating his legendary career. As Yahoo Sports
columnist Adrian Wojnarowski wrote at the time: “This wasn't a ... MORE

Sabotaging The Ladder Of Economic Opportunity
by Daniel J. Mitchell. Minimum wage, maximum folly. If I banged my head against the wall every time politicians advocated
bad policy in Washington – which is a tempting impulse, I would have
been institutionalized because of brain damage a long time ago. But it’s difficult to maintain my self control when I think about minimum ... MORE
Ramesh Ponnuru: Raising Minimum Wage Is Still A Bad Idea
A popular idea, just a bad one. Raising the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour, as President Barack Obama urged in his State of the Union address last month, is as popular an idea as ever. It’s also a worse idea than ever. Obama presented it as a way to help struggling families: “Americans
overwhelmingly agree that no one who works full ... MORE

In December, HHS reported 1,788,000 enrollees in the month of December. That suggests a drop-off of approximately 500,000, ... MORE
Christopher Elliott: TSA Gives Fliers A Bad Feeling
Are they starting to sense the government is not us? If airport security is so good, why do passengers feel so bad? That's a valid question, considering how the Transportation Security Administration seems to be spinning its performance lately. The agency wants you to believe the dark days of body scans and pat-downs, of liquids, ... MORE

Oh-Oh, Even California's Turning On Obama
by Andrew Malcolm. As everyone knows, California is the la-de-dah, laid-back land of liberalism that's been Barack Obama's political ATM for six years. Hollywood stars have loved him, fronted multi-multi-million-dollar fundraisers for him. The most populous state (home to 12 of every 100 Americans) has a Democrat governor again, two female ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Loving And Hating America
Check with those voting with their feet. As I've documented in the past, many leftist teachers teach our youngsters to hate our country. For example, University of Hawaii Professor Haunani-Kay Trask counseled her students, "We need to think very, very clearly about who the enemy is. The enemy is the United States of America and everyone who ... MORE

Two liberty advocates top the list. PPP's newest national poll finds Ted Cruz is now the top choice of Republican primary voters to be their candidate for President in 2016.
