Condemn ObamaCare -- No Alternative Needed
by Barry Farber. The brightest star in Yogi Berra’s Library-of-Life-Lifters is probably “It’s déjà vu all over again.” (Runner-up: “Nobody goes to that restaurant anymore. It’s too crowded.”) It hit me with a comforting force when I suddenly connected what I was hearing these days that rang dim but important bells from long ago. You’ve ... MOREDaren Jonescu Explains The Reign Of Idiots And Criminals
"The American majority has, it sadly seems, been insulated against all moral shock by generations of public education, moronic popular entertainment, and a carefully cultivated mass cynicism that responds to all outrages with a shrug and a chorus of “They all do it.”VIDEO: Why You Should NEVER Trust Your Government
"Love your country, but never trust your government" - Robert Novak
Thomas Sowell - Inarticulate Republicans
Could they sell blankets to Eskimos? If the continued existence of mathematics depended on the ability of the Republicans to defend the proposition that two plus two equals four, that would probably mean the end of mathematics and of all the things that require mathematics. Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, ... MOREThe Ethics Of Sacrifice, The Politics Of Slavery
by Boyd Richard Boyd. Bad political ideas come from bad ethical ideas, which are originally spread by the words of bad philosophers. Progressives and their Utopian counterparts throughout history have pushed a corrupt and inverted morality on the world, causing man to act as his own destroyer. It is from an ... MOREWhy Mistrust Of Government Is Good
An insightful interview with Penn Jillette. Question: Why is it important to mistrust the government? Penn Jillette: I believe that our country, uniquely for the time, was founded on mistrust for the government, which is such a heady and beautiful idea. The idea that we have all the rights in the world. We have complete and utter ... MOREThomas Sowell: Abstract Immigrants
One to ignore the facts of life. One of the many sad signs of our times is the way current immigration
issues are discussed. A hundred years ago, the immigration
controversies of that era were discussed in the context of innumerable
facts about particular immigrant groups. Many of those facts were
published in a huge, multi-volume 1911 study ... MOREThomas Sowell: Is Thinking Obsolete?
Indoctrination with unexamined assumptions. While it is not possible to answer all the e-mails and letters from readers, many are thought-provoking, whether those thoughts are positive or negative. An e-mail from one young man simply asked for the sources of some facts about gun control that were mentioned in a recent column. It ... MOREDavid Deming: The Real Deniers Of Climate Change
A political ideology masked as science. The Northern Hemisphere is experiencing unusually cold weather. Snow cover last December was the greatest since satellite monitoring began in 1966. The United Kingdom had the coldest March weather in 50 years, and there were more than a thousand record low temperatures in the ... MOREMatthew Walther: Rand The Realist
The Kentucky senator is his own man. Rand Paul’s shirts always seem to fit. Look at almost any
picture of him: The jacket lapel is always touching the tip of his
collar, if only just barely. His untamed curls notwithstanding, he
looks professional, put together, serious. The junior senator from
Kentucky wasn’t wearing a jacket when I sat down ... MORECal Thomas: Gun Laws And Human Nature
Sometimes, the best defense is a good offense. In 1983 when President Reagan ordered the deployment of missiles in Europe as part of his "peace through strength" strategy to counter the Soviet Union, the very liberal town of Takoma Park, Md., declared itself a "nuclear free zone." City officials passed an ordinance known as The Takoma Park Nuclear ... MOREGlobal Warming: Was It Just A Beautiful Dream After All?
by Harry Binswanger. Like most of you, I yearn for shorter winters, more shirt-sleeve weather, less lashing from frigid winds. As a confirmed New Yorker, I’m not willing to do what millions have done: move to the sunbelt. I want warmer weather here in the Big City. But I’ve grown old waiting for the promised global warming. I was 35 when ... MORE
