Thomas Sowell: Whose Welfare?
Theories about culture trump welfare of humans. If there is ever a contest for the law with the most grossly misleading title, the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 should be a prime candidate, because the last thing this Act protects is the welfare of Indian children. The theory behind the Indian Child Welfare Act is that an American Indian ... MORENYers Say FEMA Ignored Obama's Cut Red Tape Pledge
"FEMA ain't doing nothing." Storm-ravaged New Yorkers say President Obama’s promise to cut red tape and get them aid in the aftermath of Sandy has proven to be hot air. Angry citizens vented at FEMA officials at a town hall meeting held by the disaster relief agency Thursday, with tempers boiling over. Some 1,000 people, ... MOREFEMA: Welfare Masquerading As Disaster Relief
by Shikha Dalmia. Hurricane
Sandy hadn't even touched down when liberals started blowing
kisses to FEMA, or
Federal Emergency Management Agency, the federal disaster relief
agency. A New York Times editorial declared that the impending
storm proved that the country needs FEMA-style "Big Government"
solutions more than ever. Salon, New ... MORESheldon Richman: Life Without FEMA?
There is a better way. Advocates of big government never miss a chance to capitalize on a natural disaster. Even before the storm has passed, they will boast that without activist government, recovery would be impossible. Peddlers of this line ask us to imagine what life would be like today—in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy—without FEMA and the ... MORE
John Stossel: Coulter Defends Romney
Her defense goes only so far. Mitt Romney tells people he won't fire federal workers or cut education spending. He says he'll spend more on the military. He sounds like a big-government guy. Or is he just pandering for votes? Ann Coulter came on my TV show to defend Romney. "What you call pandering is called getting elected," Coulter said. Romney says ... MOREGlenn Greenwald: The Illusion Of Choice
The issue is how much they agree. Wednesday night's debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney underscored a core truth about America's presidential election season: the vast majority of the most consequential policy questions are completely excluded from the process. This fact is squarely at odds with a primary claim made about ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Defense Of Romney's "47%" Comment
Sometimes, the truth hurts. As readers of this column and viewers of Fox News Channel may know, I have not hesitated to criticize Gov. Mitt Romney's presidential campaign and the governor himself. I have argued that his message is muddled and his values are unknown beyond his ardent wish to improve economic conditions through the use of free ... MORE
Ramesh Ponnuru: Obama Vs. The Constitution
The rule of law is on the ballot. There were warning signs about President Obama’s fealty to the Constitution even before he took the oath of office. As a senator he had voted against the nomination of John Roberts to be chief justice of the Supreme Court, arguing that Roberts was deficient in the “empathy” required for the position. In a speech during his ... MORENeal Boortz: The 'Risk' Of Being Poor
Please stand back. I’ve been waiting for day to say this; waiting to calm down enough that my keystrokes won’t break the keyboard. I heard some lady say something on TV, and seldom have I heard a more idiotic statement from someone in a position to know better … I mean this is so magnificently ignorant – even stupid – that if this woman’s ignorance were ... MORESteve Chapman: Truth About Obama & Welfare Reform
Detaching work mandates from welfare checks. The old line is that there's a simple way to know a politician is lying: His lips are moving. Odds are good that any lurid charge leveled against a candidate is largely fraudulent. So it was no surprise that when Mitt Romney accused Barack Obama of gutting welfare work requirements, fact checkers ... MOREKatie Kieffer: Stressed? Are You Disabled?
Liberalism is a mental illness. Government worker: “Do you have a disability?” Man: “No.” Man’s wife: “What does he get if he’s disabled?” Government worker: “His monthly payments will [double].” Man’s wife: “Well, then he’s disabled.” Government worker (to man): “What’s your disability?” Man: “I’m stressed.” ... MOREDon Watkins: Ryan, Rand And Rights
Talking about individual rights is a positive, but ... Whether he likes it or not, Paul Ryan’s worldview is going to be defined in large part by its distance from philosopher Ayn Rand’s. Ryan is on record as praising Rand’s novel “Atlas Shrugged” and her moral defense of capitalism. He’s also on record as rejecting Rand’s philosophy, Objectivism. ... MORE
