Homeschoolers occupy the curriculum. There is exactly one authentically radical social movement of any real significance in the United States, and it is not Occupy, the Tea Party, or the Ron Paul faction. It is homeschoolers, who, by the simple act of instructing their children at home, pose an intellectual, moral, and political challenge to the ... MORE

Kevin D. Williamson: The Last Radicals
Homeschoolers occupy the curriculum. There is exactly one authentically radical social movement of any real significance in the United States, and it is not Occupy, the Tea Party, or the Ron Paul faction. It is homeschoolers, who, by the simple act of instructing their children at home, pose an intellectual, moral, and political challenge to the ... MOREThe Unstoppable March Toward National Bankruptcy
by Mark Henderson. The opening line of the Beatles’ iconic “Sergeant Pepper’s” album is echoing in my thought: “It was 20 years ago today…” Well, not quite to the day, but 20 years ago I published an article titled, “$4 Trillion and Counting.” In it, I despaired at the rapid increase in the national debt from its first-ever crossing of the $1 trillion ...

John Stossel: The Clinton Myths
Here's to arrogance and delusion. Bill Clinton got rave reviews for his speech at the Democratic National Convention. My wife said: "Clinton was great. He made Republicans look like liars and losers." Clinton, now a sainted elder statesman, also gets credit for the booming economy of the '90s. Today, he appears in an Obama commercial — in full "I feel ... MOREWashington Free Beacon: Battling Obama At The Box Office
Interest in learning Obama's roots catching fire. A politically charged documentary called 2016: Obama’s America turned heads last weekend when it grossed a whopping $1.24 million out of just 169 theaters. The $2.5 million independent film, which is being distributed by Utah-based Rocky Mountain Pictures, premiered in Houston six ... MORE
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 ... MOREJohn 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 ... MORETed Nugent: The Great California Nightmare
Bankrupt state serves as a warning to the rest of America. I 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. "They said they've been ... MOREVeronique de Rugy: Taxation, American Style
The tax code is more progressive than you think. Americans often tout the contrast between the bloated, tax-funded welfare states of the Old World and our leaner, cheaper government. But the data reveal that the U.S. may be closer to Europe than we think. Contrary to common belief, the American tax system is more progressive than those of ... MOREGary Horne: What? The Magic Words Aren't Working!
The awful truth is beginning to dawn on the left. The magic words on which they have relied to make government grow may not work anymore. The consequences could be catastrophic for progressives. So it isn't hard to understand why the progressives would visualize a Supreme Court ruling against ObamaCare as "unprecedented." The case of Wickard ... MOREKOB News 4: Albuquerque Dog Becomes Registered Voter
Now we know why Democrats howl at voter ID. An Albuquerque man says he successfully registered his dog to vote in Bernalillo County. The dog owner said he saw a voter registration booth on the University of New Mexico's campus a few weeks ago and decided to see how easy it would be to register his dog to vote. He said he was trying to expose the ... 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 ... MOREThomas 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 ... MORE
