Uncle Sam Simultaneously Attacks And Subsidizes Soda
Tail-chasing politicians mindlessly spend and regulate. The federal government has financed a multi-million dollar ad campaign in New York City and elsewhere attacking sugary soft drinks.

Limbaugh Jr: They Risked Everything For Liberty
Our Lives, Our Fortunes, Our Sacred Honor. It was a glorious morning. The sun was shining and the wind was from the southeast. Up especially early, a tall bony, redheaded young Virginian found time to buy a new thermometer, for which he paid three pounds, fifteen shillings. He also bought gloves for Martha, his wife, who was ill at home. Thomas Jefferson arrived early at the statehouse. The temperature was 72.5 degrees and the horseflies weren't nearly so bad at that hour. It was a lovely room, very large, with gleaming white walls. The chairs were comfortable. Facing the single door ... MOREThomas Sowell: Judicial Betrayal
Betrayal is hard to take, whether in our personal lives or in the political life of the nation.

The four-legged crime fighter working for the Virginia State Police has been on a hot streak, detecting drugs nearly every time he’s on the ... MOREVIDEO: Gov't Ad: Food Stamps Make You Look Good
Government spends millions on radio ads to stimulate more handouts.
Washington Times: Obama's War On Guns And Oil
White House unleashes OSHA against hated industries. The Obama administration is using more than just the Environmental Protection Agency to “crucify” businesses it doesn’t like. Congress won’t enact any gun-control measures, and the American people aren’t interested in paying more at the pump. So President Obama has to get a lot more ... MOREWalter E Williams: Gross Ignorance For The Underclass
