Walter E Williams: Liberals, Progressives & Socialists

Where the tiny steps are taking us. In Europe, especially in Germany, hoisting a swastika-emblazoned Nazi flag is a crime. For decades after World War II, people have hunted down and sought punishment for Nazi murderers, who were responsible for the deaths of more than 20 million people. Here's my question: Why are the horrors of Nazism so well-known and    ...

John Stossel: Budget Insanity

Political vision does not seem to extend beyond next election. Last year, Congress agreed to $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts, unless politicians find other things to cut. They didn't, of course. So now, with so-called sequestration looming in January, panic has set in. Even the new "fiscally responsible" Republicans vote against cutting Energy      ... MORE

Ted Nugent: The Great California Nightmare

Bankrupt state serves as a warning to the rest of AmericaI was reminded of that last week when I heard from Sergei Shevchuk, a reader who was flying from Los Angeles to San Francisco on Delta Air Lines. "I was pleasantly surprised when an officer advised me not to take out my laptop and liquids and to keep my shoes and jacket on," he told me.

So it isn't hard to understand why the progressives would visualize a Supreme Court ruling against ObamaCare as "unprecedented." The case of Wickard  ... MORE

Huffington Post: Government's Condoms For Kids Program

Available in some California counties if you're 12. A new program supported by the California Department of Public Health will allow teenagers throughout various parts of the state to order condoms online for free. The initiative, launched on Tuesday and available through TeenSource.org, a website that provides information about safe sex for California teens ...

Thomas Sowell: The Progressive Legacy


A restoration of discredited ideas. Although Barack Obama is the first black President of the United States, he is by no means unique, except for his complexion. He follows in the footsteps of other presidents with a similar vision, the vision at the heart of the Progressive movement that flourished a hundred years ago. Many of the trends, problems and disasters of  ...
