He will be significantly less bad than Obama. Should libertarians like me declare a pox on both major parties’
houses by voting for the Libertarian Party candidate, Gary
Johnson? Or should we opt for the Republican Mitt Romney, who
I think would be significantly less bad than the Democratic
incumbent, Barack Obama? Over the decades since ... MORERobert Poole: The Libertarian Case For Mitt Romney

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 ... MOREEmily Bazelton: Do Police Dogs Invade Our Privacy
Chemicals found in drugs are also elsewhere. When I see a police dog inside a train
station or at a public gathering, I feel safer. I figure it is there to
protect us from explosives, and if it sniffs out drugs along the way,
well, that's against the law, too. But what if it turns out that
the dogs aren't all that good at the job the police are ... MOREREPORT: EPA Regs Could Cost 887,000 Jobs A Year

the degradation ... MORE$60,000 In Welfare Spent Per Household In Poverty

Private insurance has lower administrative costs. Everybody “knows” that government agencies are more efficient than private health insurance at delivering medical benefits and services. After all, Medicare’s administrative costs, at roughly 2 percent of the cost of benefits, are lower than those of private insurance. In the first presidential ... MOREVoter Initiatives Breathe New Life Into Federalism
by J.D. Tuccille. There's an important constitutional issue on ballots across the country next month, but it's not labeled by its name anywhere that it appears. That issue encompasses concerns traditionally considered both conservative and liberal, even if it is embraced oh-so-selectively by its newfound friends. That's right, federalism ... MOREPolice Union Intimidates California City Council
Shameless tactics by law enforcement unions. Many people were outraged this summer after a private investigator, with ties to a law firm that represents 120 police unions in California, made an apparently false report to the cops claiming that a councilman in the Orange County, California, city of Costa Mesa stumbled out of a bar drunk and ...
