Walter E Williams: Official Lies
Let's expose presidential prevarication. Earlier this year, President Barack Obama warned that Social Security checks will be delayed if Congress fails to increase the government's borrowing authority by raising the debt ceiling. However, there's an issue with this warning. According to the 2012 Social Security trustees report, assets in Social Security's ... MORELA Times Editorial: The DEA's Marijuana Mistake
Creating a ridiculous circle of denials. For a muscular agency that combats vicious drug criminals, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration acts like a terrified and obstinate toddler when it comes to basic science. For years, the DEA and the National Institute for Drug Abuse have made it all but impossible to develop a robust body of research on the medical ... MOREJim Cardoza: Handing Gangs The Gun Concession
Time for us to check our premises. The tragedy of the American drug war is not just that it has been a failure. It has been an act of national self-destruction. It is one thing that it failed to diminish the availability of street drugs. It is quite another that it has provided vicious gangs with a lucrative black market funding mechanism while locking up scores ... MORE
Government Targets Vicodin In War Against Painkillers
More pain for patients helps fight drug war. The DEA for nearly a decade has pushed for tighter restrictions on Vicodin, the nation's most widely prescribed drug.

Larry Kudlow: Obama's Declaration Of Collectivism
Not what the Founders had in mind. One of the least remarked upon aspects of President Obama’s inaugural
speech was his attempt to co-opt the Founding Fathers’ Declaration of
Independence to bolster his liberal-left agenda. Sure, the president quoted one of the most important sentences in
world history: “We hold these truths to be self- ... MORELouis Woodhill: Time To Bury The GOP And Start Over
Death to clueless conservatism! In his January 18 article, “Go for the Throat!”, John Dickerson, Slate’s chief political correspondent, called on President Obama to “declare war” on the Republican Party. Calm down, John. There is no need for Obama to get (politically)
violent. At the national level, the Republican Party is near death
anyway. ... MORE
Hans Bader: Government Control Is Bad For Your Health
Economic freedom declines again under Obama. Economic freedom has declined under the Obama administration, and America’s rank has repeatedly fallen on the Index of Economic Freedom and other rankings issued by think-tanks and research foundations. (The Heritage Foundation just released
the 2013 Index of Economic Freedom.) In their ... MOREA Fisher: 6 Unbelievably Dumb Congressional Hearings
Sex, violence and satan. In the wake of last December's school shooting, Sen. Jay Rockefeller
(D-West Virginia) has proposed
yet another congressional study on violent video games (he's
joined in his effort by
Nebraska Republican Sen. Mike Johanns). Such studies are
typically accompanied by hearings where members of the
World's Greatest ... MORE
