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

by Tim Cushing. If you've read Techdirt for any length of time, you'll have noticed that intellectual property laws have been decoupled from logic
for several years now. Because the entities heavily-reliant on IP
protections (and who mostly serve as gatekeepers and middlemen, rather
than perform any creative work of their own) have trouble ... MOREJohn Stossel - Freedom To And From Religion
Government more powerful than God. Religious oppression was one reason many of our ancestors came to America. They wanted to escape rulers who demanded that everyone worship their way. In Ireland, Catholics couldn't vote or own a gun. I assumed that because many of America's founders came here to escape such repression, they ... MORERand Paul and Ted Cruz: Separated at Birth? Uh, No.
by J.D. Tuccille. Job one for Sen. Rand Paul in his new role as Republican presidential
aspirant is to somehow distinguish himself from ideological doppelganger
Sen. Ted Cruz and kneecap his rival for the GOP nod. Or so say some
media outlets that may be driven as much by an appreciation for good
political bloodsport as by a touch of ... MORE
Andrew Napolitano: Shooting Themselves In The Foot
Next time, consult the Constitution. The turmoil over the efforts by the State of Indiana to make lawful the decisions by operators of public accommodations to decline their services based on their stated religious views has died down because the legislature amended the offending parts of its legislation so that the new law prohibits denying services ... MOREDaniel J. Mitchell: Liberty, Morality, and Discrimination
Decent people should not obey immoral laws. When describing their view of government and public policy,
libertarians and constitutional conservatives sometimes use a variation
of this phrase: “Not everything that’s illegal is immoral, and not
everything that’s immoral should be illegal.” To put this in tangible terms, consider the fact that ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Indiana And The Constitution
Clarifying the law of the land. The Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 2015 is constitutionally infirm and legally troublesome. The circuitous constitutional route that brought about this statute began in 1990 when the Supreme Court ruled that the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment may not be used as a defense to violating the ... MORETim Dunkin: Bake Us A Cake Or We'll Murder Your Children
Modern liberalism is fundamentally illiberal. The evidences for this can be clearly seen all around us. There are hardly any basic areas of the liberty of the individual which today's progressives – in both parties – haven't trampled in their on-going efforts to destroy America That Was and replace it with a progressive utopian version in which individual ... MOREThomas Sowell: 'Diversity' In Action
Not all cultures are compatible. Islamic terrorist attacks in Europe, and European governments' counter-attacks are more than just a passing news story. Europe is currently in the process of paying the price for years of importing millions of people from a culture hostile to the fundamental values of Western culture. And this is by no means the last ... MOREGlenn Greenwald: Some More Blasphemous Cartoons
In solidarity with a free press. Defending free speech and free press rights, which typically means defending the right to disseminate the very ideas society finds most repellent, has been one of my principal passions for the last 20 years: previously as a lawyer and now as a journalist. So I consider it positive when large numbers of ... MORE
Behold: The Atheist Ten Non-Commandments
What do you think of these? What if, instead of climbing Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments from God, Moses had turned to the Israelites and asked: Hey, what do you guys think we should do? Considering the Hebrews’ bad behavior in the Bible, what with the coveting of neighbors’ wives and murdering their own brothers, ... MORE
Islamic State Promises Crucifixion, Lashing for Unbelievers
by Adam Kredo. But so far, no threats of waterboarding. The Islamic State (IS) has published it own penal code, which harshly penalizes actions such as sodomy and blasphemy with punishments including execution, crucifixion, lashing, and the severing of limbs, among other penalties. IS (also known as ISIL or ISIS) issued the detailed ... MORE
Rogue Pastors Endorse Candidates, But IRS Looks Away
by Rachael Bade. A record number of rogue Christian pastors are endorsing candidates from the pulpit this election cycle, using Sunday sermons to defiantly flout tax rules. Their message to the IRS: Sue me. But the tax agency is doing anything but. Although the IRS was sued itself for not enforcing the law and admitted about 100 churches ... MOREScientology Scheme: Foundation For A Drug-Free America
Propaganda machine is religious front group. Pamphlets passed out with Halloween candy. The Foundation for a Drug-Free World -- at drugfreeworld.org -- is an anti-drug organization with links to and funded by the Church of Scientology. As such it is considered one of the cult's front groups. The Church of Scientology has a history of ... MOREChristian Sharia Law Sprouting Up In Indiana?
by Travis Gettys. An Indiana woman says a state trooper pulled her over this summer and asked if she had accepted Jesus Christ as her personal lord and savior. Ellen Bogan said she was stopped in August by Indiana State Trooper Brian Hamilton, who asked whether she had a home church and handed her a pamphlet asking her to “acknowledge ... MOREPoll: 51% Of Dems Support Criminalizing Hate Speech
First Amendment is so yesterday. Note: Hate speech, not hate crimes. YouGov asked people about hate crimes for its poll too and found bipartisan support for the federal law that provides steeper penalties for crimes motivated by hatred of the victim’s race, religion, gender, or national origin. Sixty-four percent of Dems gave thumbs-up to ... MOREWalter E Williams: Will The West Defend Itself?
The barbarians at the gate. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), sometimes called ISIS or IS, is a Sunni extremist group that follows al-Qaida's anti-West ideology and sees a holy war against the West as a religious duty. With regard to nonbelievers, the Quran commands, "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from ... MORE
