Majority Of Young Voters Favor Bigger Government
Public school is serving its purpose. A Pew Research post-election poll found that a majority of young voters who were 18-29 years of age preferred bigger government. According to the survey, 59% of young voters said “government should do more to solve problems” while only 37% felt “government is doing too many things better left to businesses ... MOREObama The Unanimous Choice In 59 Philadelphia Districts
Officially wins the vote 19,605 to 0. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney got no votes in 59
voting districts in the city of Philadelphia last week on Election Day. None. And the unofficial vote tallies have President Barack Obama beating
the former Massachusetts governor by a combined vote of 19,605 to 0, The
Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ... MOREThe Disappointment Of Living In An Electoral Republic
by Clarice Feldman. Tuesday's returns seem inexplicable. (a) Logic Took a Powder. Jeff Dobbs, a regular at Just One Minute, did some work and shows why the election results this week seem inexplicable and unpredictable: Fun with Exit Polls... 19% of voters who described their view as "abortion should be illegal in all cases" voted for Obama. 13% who described ... MORESteve Chapman: Situation Lousy, Don't Change A Thing
Voters seem to like the status quo. Republicans are mystified that in a nation they know as
fundamentally conservative, a president they regard as deeply
radical has been re-elected. But Americans didn't vote for Barack
Obama because they are liberal. They voted for him because they are
conservative. Not conservative as defined by modern ... MORE
More Years For Obama, More Tears For America
by Charles Hurt. All that for nothing. It was the billion-dollar election that did not decide one single damned thing. Republicans control the House. Democrats control the Senate. And the White House remains in Democratic hands with absolutely no mandate whatsoever. Another four years with no hope of change. In
this environment with this ... MOREFred Barnes: Why Romney Will Win
Let us count the reasons Mitt Romney will win. The tie in the polls goes to the challenger. Here’s why: Enthusiasm. It matters enormously, and it’s
disproportionately on the Republican side, in good measure because of an
intense desire to defeat President Obama. True, enthusiasm doesn’t
guarantee an edge in turnout, but it’s ... MOREMarijuana Legalization Could Cut Cartels' Earnings 30%
by E. Eduardo Castillo and Kristen Wyatt. A study released Wednesday by a respected Mexican think tank asserts
that proposals to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in
Colorado, Oregon and Washington could cut Mexican drug cartels' earnings
from traffic to the U.S. by as much as 30 percent. Opponents questioned some of ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Should You Vote For President?
Vote your conscience, don't waste it. Can you vote by not voting? In a presidential election year in which the critical issues have been how much personal behavior the federal government should regulate and how much private wealth it should transfer and consume, rather than whether it should do so, many folks who are fed up with what George W. Bush ... MOREThe 10 Most Unexpected Marijuana Reform Supporters
by Tom Angell. With less than one week before we find out how voters in Colorado, Oregon and Washington will decide on ballot measures to regulate marijuana like alcohol, polls indicate there's a very good chance at least one of these states will make history by enacting the world's first-ever marijuana legalization law. While the movement to reform marijuana laws ... MORE Greg Lukianoff: Feigning Free Speech On Campus
Our political correctness zones. Despite high youth voter turnout in 2008 — 48.5 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds cast ballots that year — levels are expected to return to usual lows this year, and with that the usual hand-wringing about disengagement and apathy among young voters. Colleges and universities are supposed to be bastions ... MOREPoll Indicates California Voters To Reject Brown's Tax Hike
Big government at the saturation point. California Gov. Jerry Brown's $6 billion tax increase initiative is losing steam with state voters as it enters the final stretch of the race, a poll released Thursday shows. Just 46 percent of Californians surveyed plan to vote for the measure Nov. 6, down from 55 percent a month ago, according to a USC Dornsife ... MOREJohn Fund: When Political Speech Comes Under Fire
What if the truth is politically incorrect? This month an unnamed private family foundation, apparently concerned with the integrity of elections, paid for 145 billboards in Ohio and Wisconsin. The boards featured a picture of a judge’s gavel and a simple message: “Voter Fraud Is a Felony — up to 3½ years and a $10,000 fine.” That’s it. ... MORE
Government Displays Contempt For The Will Of The People
"Public servants" will dictate pot policy despite voters. A top Justice Department official has told "60 Minutes" the federal
government is ready to combat any "dangers" of state-sanctioned
recreational pot, amid criticism of the Obama administration for its
relative silence on legalization drives in three states. Voters in Colorado, Washington state and ... MOREJohn Aglialoro: Rand's Fight For The Rational Mind
Stop wasting time with the irrational. In three weeks we will be voting in, what many consider, the most important election of our lifetime, the 2012 Presidential election. If you’re reading this article, chances are you’ve already made up your mind whom you’ll be voting for. Good. But, what about your friends and family who haven’t? Are you going to take ... MOREAndrew B. Wilson: Sleepless In St. Louis
Entrepreneur/super-mom fears an Obama victory. No one would mistake my sister Dodie -- a super-mom (sometimes tiger mom) and entrepreneur -- for a hand-wringing pessimist. Intrepid and resourceful, she always rises to the moment -- like the "unsinkable" Molly Brown in the musical about the Titanic. But now (even after the smack-down ... MOREShikha Dalmia: Big Labor Is Going For Broke In Michigan
Making unions more powerful than the legislature. We've seen Gov. Scott Walker's battle in Wisconsin and the Chicago Teachers Union strike next door. Now in Michigan comes another Midwestern political showdown that will carry enormous implications for the role of unions in American life. The Michigan Supreme Court recently approved ... MORELegalize Marijuana in 2012? It Could Happen In 3 States
Colorado, Oregon and Washington eye a new cash cow. A catchy pro-marijuana jingle for Colorado voters considering legalizing the drug goes like this: "Jobs for our people. Money for schools. Who could ask for more?" It's a bit more complicated than that in the three states — Colorado, Oregon and Washington — that could become the first ... MOREWilliam Martin: Marijuana, A Case For Legalization
The policy is the greater harm. More than 100 million people in this country have tried marijuana at some point. More than 28 million will do so this year. It will not make them dangerous or more interesting. It should not make them criminals. Marijuana’s critics cite proven negative effects of heavy use: loss of concentration and short-term memory, ... MORENew Hampshire Jury Exercises Its Nullification Powers
Empowered jury just says 'no' -- to the law. In a developing story that has hit Reason.com, an NH jury has acquitted a man facing a felony for growing cannabis! It’s our first real-life case of jury nullification here in NH and the jury nullification law hasn’t even gone into effect yet. Kudos to the judge for reading a fair and easy-to-understand jury ...
