by Jeffrey H. Anderson. In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision upholding the constitutionality of Obamacare, the principal choice now facing Americans on November 6 will be whether to keep Obamacare or to repeal it. The question is a binary one, and the answer — expressed almost entirely through their presidential vote — will go a long way ... MOREThis Election Just Became About ObamaCare
by Jeffrey H. Anderson. In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision upholding the constitutionality of Obamacare, the principal choice now facing Americans on November 6 will be whether to keep Obamacare or to repeal it. The question is a binary one, and the answer — expressed almost entirely through their presidential vote — will go a long way ... MOREGovernment Spends Millions Advertising Food Stamps
Does the safety net market really need a stimulus? More than one in seven Americans are on food stamps, but the federal government wants even more people to sign up for the safety net program. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has been running radio ads for the past four months encouraging those eligible to enroll. The campaign is ... MOREJohn Hinderaker: Is Welfare Spending Futile?
That’s the question raised by this chart, plotting federal welfare spending against the poverty rate. When President Johnson announced the War on Poverty, he said his intention was to abolish poverty in America. That hasn’t happened, of course. And I doubt that any liberal today would proclaim such a goal. Today, welfare spending is mainly a way to funnel dollars into the pockets of Democratic Party constituencies; therefore, for Democrats, the more the better, with no end in sight or even desired. The explosion in ... MORE
Joel Poindexter: Setting Things Straight On Nullification
The people's last stand against tyranny: just say no. Writing for Hot Air’s Green Room last week, Patrick Ishmael declared that nullification was unconstitutional and cited a number of columns from organizations such as The Heartlander and The Heritage Foundation as proof. Ishmael’s post was mostly a continuation of a discussion, as he calls it, ... MORECops Claim That Face-Chewer Was On Bath Salts A Lie
Another drug warrior scapegoats marijuana as the culprit. Lab tests detected only marijuana in the system of a Florida man shot while chewing on another man's face, the medical examiner said Wednesday, ruling out other street drugs including the components typically found in the stimulants known as "bath salts." There has been much ... MOREVIDEO: The Incandescent Stupidy Of DEA On Display
Sad Truth Dept: Top drug warrior thinks pot is addictive and as bad as crack.

Larry Huss: The Federal Assault On Freedom Of Religion
Obama wants to trump the tenets of Catholic morality. The Catholic Church believes that abortion is the taking of a human life – an innocent human life. It makes no distinction between an abortion and murder. I stand with the Catholic Church. Despite that stance, the Church has avoided a direct confrontation with the federal government ... MOREJacob Sullum: The Mythical Right To Decency
High court misses chance to overturn speech restrictions. Pity the poor speech regulators at the Federal Communications Commission, who are charged with sifting through complaints about TV and radio programs in a farcical attempt to determine which references to "sexual or excretory organs or activities" are "patently offensive as measured ... MOREBarry Farber: Morgan Freeman's Afraid Of Me
Helping an adult afraid of the light. Morgan Freeman’s afraid of me. Why? Well, apparently I’m one of the guys on “the other side of the fence”; you know, conservatives, tea partiers, Republicans. I’ve helped children quit being afraid of the dark, but this is the first time I’ve tried it with an Oscar-winning superstar way beyond his childhood. Morgan ... MORE
