Plan To Split California Into Six States Closer To Reality
by Travis H. Brown. Thanks to the signatures of more than 807,000 concerned Californians,
an ambitious idea has moved that much closer to becoming a reality. The
“Six Californias” Initiative,
sponsored by Silicon Valley venture capitalist Tim Draper, seeks to
create areas that are more governable, more productive, and more
successful. As I wrote ... MOREPatrick J. Buchanan: Why Congress Is Held In Contempt
Impotence not seen as a virtue. "I've got a pen," said President Obama early this week. "I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions ... that move the ball forward." "When I can act on my own without Congress, I'm going to do so," the president added Wednesday at North Carolina State. Thus did Obama signal that ... MORETerrance P. Jeffrey: Only The Self-Reliant Remain Free
Who had more freedom? Was it the pioneer who rode horseback across the Midwest, settled in a wide-open space without paved roads, grocery stores or hospitals, and had to build his own home, cultivate his own food and educate his own children? Or was it the less-adventuresome brother he left behind in an Eastern city who lived next door to ... MOREJohn Stossel: The Libertarian Era
Liberty rising? I didn't know what a libertarian was when I started reporting. I was just another liberal. I knew the Republicans were icky, and Democrats were more like me — except they didn't care about debt. I had no idea there was an actual movement of thinking people who want to honor the principles of the Founders — liberty and limited ... MOREPeter Suderman: Health Care Rights And Responsibililties
What about the rights angle? What happens when health care is thought to be a fundamental
right? That's the question at the heart of David Kelley's January
1994 reason story, "The Rights
Angle." Kelley's piece examined the large-scale health-care
overhaul proposed under President Bill Clinton. Kelley came away
worried. The "plan in ... MOREJohn Stossel: Longing To Be A Victim
These days, being seen as a victim can be useful. You immediately claim the moral high ground. Some people want to help you. Lawyers and politicians brag that they force others to help you. This turns some people into whiners with little sense of responsibility. Joe Biden's niece was arrested recently for throwing a punch at a cop. ... MOREDebt Ceiling Lifted; Government Borrowing Spree Resumes
by J.D. Tuccille. When Congress saved America from the perilous clutches of a
federal government compelled to live within its means without
running up the credit card, it came up with a doozy of a deal. From
now until February 7, 2014, the U.S. Department of the Treasury can
borrow as much as it pleases. Jack Lew and company aren't ... MORE
Brian Wilson: Revenge Rape And The First Amendment
Liberty requires responsibility. Long dead English playwright William Congreve penned the famous (paraphrased) line: “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” Thanks to today’s cell phone technology and wandering morals, we will see if the First Amendment’s “free speech” will withstand the latest furious onslaught from one Holly Jacobs ... MOREBe Aware Of Your Rights As A Potential Juror Or Defendant
Rachel Colon on fully informed juries. If you are called to be on a criminal jury, knowing your rights in the process will help. In the U.S. justice system, a jury is our chance as citizens to have a final say regarding a law under which a defendant is being charged. We are empowered by the Constitution to judge both the law and ... MOREThomas Sowell - The Mindset Of The Left
Why it is all about the government. When teenage thugs are called "troubled youth" by people on the
political left, that tells us more about the mindset of the left than
about these young hoodlums. Seldom is there a speck of evidence that the thugs are troubled, and
often there is ample evidence that they are in fact enjoying themselves,
as ... MOREStephanie Simon: Why Our Teachers Can't Teach
Long awaited report reveals an ugly truth. The U.S. teacher training system is
badly broken, turning out rookie educators who have little hands-on
experience running classrooms and are quickly overwhelmed by the job,
according to a report released Tuesday by the National Council on Teacher Quality. The review found "an ... MORE
