The slavery liberals love. Evil acts are given an aura of moral legitimacy by noble-sounding socialistic expressions, such as spreading the wealth, income redistribution, caring for the less fortunate, and the will of the majority. Let's have a thought experiment to consider just how much Americans sanction evil. Imagine there are several elderly ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Concealing Evil
The slavery liberals love. Evil acts are given an aura of moral legitimacy by noble-sounding socialistic expressions, such as spreading the wealth, income redistribution, caring for the less fortunate, and the will of the majority. Let's have a thought experiment to consider just how much Americans sanction evil. Imagine there are several elderly ... MOREThomas Sowell: Fact-Free Liberals
Read all four parts of this essay! Someone summarized Barack Obama in three words — "educated," "smart"
and "ignorant." Unfortunately, those same three words would describe all
too many of the people who come out of our most prestigious colleges
and universities today. President Obama seems completely ... MOREHarry Binswanger: A Dictionary Of ObamaSpeak
Reading between the syllables. Statism, the concentration of power in the government at the expense of individual liberty, cannot be sold to the American people. The statists in this country have always cloaked their agenda, marching us blindfolded toward the elimination of our freedom and our rights. Statists do not dare announce: ... MOREIncome Redistribution's Logical Conclusion Is Communism
by Jeffrey Dorfman. Income inequality is dominating the economic news cycle at the moment with multiple stories about rising income inequality, the need to raise the minimum wage, and anecdotal stories designed to make the more fortunate feel sorry for the less so. There are, however, two big problems with this narrative. First, most of the ... MORENational Review: The Fifty Year War On Poverty
Great for Democrats, not-so-good for the poor. This year marks the 50th anniversary of President Lyndon Baines Johnson’s proclamation of a “war on poverty,” and the progress in this theater has not been encouraging. Trillions of dollars have been spent, and the number of Americans living in poverty is higher today than it was ... MORE
Sorry, Liberals: Obamacare Won’t Lead to Single Payer
by Peter Suderman. If you spend any significant amount of time talking to conservative activists who oppose Obamacare, you’ll eventually hear some variant on the theory that Obamacare was never meant to work. Instead, it was meant to destroy the existing health care system, and in the process pave the way for liberals to step in with the ... MORE
John Stossel: Celebrity Hypocrites
Do as I say, not as I do. I'm annoyed that so many Hollywood celebrities hate the system that made them rich. Actor/comedian Russell Brand told the BBC he wants "a socialist, egalitarian system based on the massive redistribution of wealth." Director George Lucas got rich not just from movies but also by selling Star Wars merchandise. Yet he ... MOREJeffrey Folks: Obama's Plan To Snatch Your Savings
The next stop on the path to socialism. In his first term, Obama managed to get his paws on health care, banking, energy, student loans, the auto business, and more. Now he has his sights set on your 401(k). The left has had its eye on retirement savings for years, but so far takeover attempts have been rebuffed. One ... MORE
Monty Pelerin: Is The President Sane?
Obama's action go beyond mismanagement. Questions regarding President Obama’s competence have mostly been limited to management abilities, laziness, honesty and the like. Allison Martinez, however, opens an issue that many whisper about but dare not speak of publicly — his mental stability: Claims of grandeur that are ... MOREJohn Stossel: Thankful For Property
Thankfully avoiding the tragedy of the commons. Had today's politicians and opinion-makers been in power four centuries ago, Americans might celebrate "Starvation Day" this week, not Thanksgiving. The Pilgrims started out with communal property rules. When they first settled at Plymouth, they were told: "Share everything, share ... MOREBarry Farber: More Fun Than A 1-Horse Open Slay
Obama's meltdown is quite delightful. If the president’s troubles make you want to sing, at least get the lyrics right. It’s not “We Shall Overcome.” It’s “They Shall Overreach”! “Don’t count chickens before they hatch!” is too stilted and cliché. I prefer the earthier Southern version, “Don’t count ‘taters afore grabbin’ time.” ... MOREObamaCare's Failure Is Not Just A Technology Problem
by Doug Reich. The rollout of Obamacare has been an unmitigated disaster. From a
website that doesn’t work to skyrocketing premiums, Americans are
finding out “what’s in it.”
The administration and its lackeys have now begun characterizing the
problems as due to nothing more than technical problems or so called
“glitches” that will be ... MOREGary Jason: Young Frogs Hop To New Ponds
A recent story concerning the French youth is fascinating. It reports that a poll conducted by the leftist newspaper Le Monde shows that the French are not happy with their socialist government. Seventy percent now believe that taxes are too high, and 80% hold that President Hollande's economic policies are on the wrong track. And 54% ... MOREIra Stoll: The ObamaCare Disaster Has Arrived
Get ready for much worse. For a sense of where the health care policy debate in America is headed, look no further than Massachusetts, where Romneycare was a state-run demonstration project for Obamacare. Here, activists with ties to the Massachusetts State Nurses Association are organizing to place a question on the 2014 ... MOREDr. Ben Carson: ObamaCare Is Worst Thing Since Slavery
Vladimir Lenin would have liked Obama. Dr. Ben Carson slammed President Barack Obama’s signature health care during his speech at the Value Voter’s Summit Friday. “Obamacare is really, I think, the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery,” Carson declared. “It is slavery in a way because it is making all of us ... MOREL. Brent Bozell: The Ministry Of Confusion
Observations on official tail-chasing. I can think of one reason to end the federal shutdown: There are a lot of stupid people now roaming the streets. The Feds, however, do not have a monopoly on idiocy. Bureaucratic bumbling can be found wherever there's large government, even on the state, and yes, on the county level. ... MORE
Stella Morabito: The Dynamics Of Tyranny
I am he as you are he and you are me and ... Before George Orwell wrote 1984, there was Yevgeny Zamyatin's We. If you're not acquainted with Zamyatin's novel, you will find it an extraordinary study on the dynamics of tyranny. Zamyatin, a Russian, wrote We around 1921. It was immediately banned by the Soviet censorship board, but ... MORE
