Jesse Walker: How About A Religious Nanny For President?
Mike Huckabee is your guy. Mike Huckabee didn't confirm tonight that he's running for president, but he told us when he'd let us know. Interviewed by Fox News' Bret Baier, the Republican said he'd make a formal announcement in Hope, Arkansas, on May 5. Huckabee, who served as governor of Arkansas from 1996 to 2007, last
ran for president ... MORELeftists Priority: Raising Revenue Or Punishing Success?
by Daniel J. Mitchell. On the issue of so-called progressive taxation, our left-wing friends
have conflicting goals. Some of them want to maximize tax revenue in
order to finance ever-bigger government. But others are much more motivated by a desire to punish success. They want high tax rates on the “rich” even if the government collects less ... MOREPeter Suderman: Meet The New Mitt, Same As The Old Mitt
An alternative to integrity. Mother Jones’ David Corn has found
a new "progressive champion" in
a somewhat surprising candidate: Mitt Romney. Corn is not exactly a committed Romney booster: He helped
tank Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential ambitions by publishing
Romney’s
infamous 47 percent remarks, in what was probably the
biggest ... MOREWalter E Williams: Will The Left Defend Itself?
Multiculturalism and Sharia Law. Leftists and progressives believe that the U.S. should become more like Europe. They praise Europe's massive welfare state, socialized medicine and stifling economic regulation and accept its unwillingness to defend itself against barbarism. I wonder whether America's leftists and progressives want to ... MOREJoanne Moudy: Politically Correct Or Prostitution?
Can we be honest? Personally, I’ve never been one to mince words, which has occasionally gotten me into a bit of boiling water. But since I’d rather deal with a few uncomfortable moments now than burn forever in the fires of hell, I’ve stubbornly clung to clarity and honesty over doublespeak and lies. Considering the never ending, illogical ... MOREVegas Schools Want To Teach Masturbation To Little Kids
by Jennifer Kastner. 5 and 6 year olds targeted. Monday's Clark County School District Board of Trustees meeting was
met with a packed room of angry parents who recently discovered possible
updates to the district's sex education curriculum, which could teach
kids as young as five-years-old about topics like masturbation. "We certainly ... MOREMichael Booth: Crony Capitalism & Progressive Desparation
What happens when you run out of the people's money? If you hang out at the intersection of Politics Avenue and Economics Boulevard, as I frequently do, you've noticed the ugly fusion of welfare state government and major corporations we have come to call "crony capitalism." It was a mystery to me why progressives, who ... MORE
No Nukes, No Fracking, No GMOs, And No Capitalism
by Ronald Bailey. No brains on display at the People's Climate March. The People's Climate March ambled
genially down 6th Avenue in New York City Sunday afternoon.
The March's slogan was "To Change Everything, We Need Everyone."
Not everyone showed up, but the March did attract between
300,000 and 400,000 participants, making it by far the ... MORE
Emails: EPA Rules Part Of The Progressive Agenda
Mice trying to become rats through body building. Emails between top Environmental Protection Agency officials reveal
they saw their fight against global warming as putting them at
“forefront of progressive national policy.” “You are at the forefront of progressive national policy on one of the critical issues of our time. ... MOREPaying People To Vote Proposed In Los Angeles
by Thomas Lifson. Politicians worry the ignorant won't vote. Buying votes is illegal, yet the misnamed Los Angeles Ethics Commission is proposing to pay people to vote, in the form of lottery prizes. David Zahniser of the Los Angeles Times reports: Alarmed that fewer than one-fourth of voters are showing up for municipal elections, the Los ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Beware A Beneficent Government
The president is an ardent progressive. This dastardly philosophy of government was brought into the American mainstream 100 years ago by a Republican, Theodore Roosevelt, and a Democrat, Woodrow Wilson. Its guiding principle is the belief that government — not individuals — is the chief engine of human progress. If that means government ... MOREProgressives’ Latest Plot to Take Power From the People and Give It to Legislators: Reign In The Initiative Process
by Steven Greenhut. The people are inconveniencing "our public servants." Few things have defined California's politics more than the three election reforms championed by the state's 23rd governor – the initiative, the referendum and the recall. Hiram Johnson's system of direct democracy, used early and often in California since 1911, ... MORERalph Nader: Libertarians And Progressives Unite!
by Jeff Zeleny, Jordyn Phelps & Alexandra Dukakis. What if Washington politics were no longer defined by partisan gridlock but instead by a cross-party alliance that forged solutions? The alliance would be unstoppable. That’s the premise of the new book “Unstoppable: The Emerging Left-Right Alliance to Dismantle the Corporate ... MORE
