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, ... MOREJoel Poindexter: Setting Things Straight On Nullification

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 ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: A Political Glossary - Part II
Reading between the syllables. Politicians seem to have a special fondness for words that have two very different meanings, so we are likely to hear a lot of these kinds of words this election year. "Access" is one of those words. Politicians seem to be forever coming to the rescue of people who have been denied "access" to credit, college or whatever. See part I ... MORE
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

Thomas Sowell: A Political Glossary
When politicians talk fairness, hide your wallet. Since this is an election year, we can expect to hear a lot of words -- and the meaning of those words is not always clear. So it may be helpful to have a glossary of political terms. One of the most versatile terms in the political vocabulary is "fairness." It has been used over a vast range of issues, from ... MOREThe War On Poverty: $15 Trillion & Nothing To Show For It
by Michael Tennant. Fifteen trillion dollars: That’s how much American taxpayers have forked over in the name of helping the poor since 1964. And what do we have to show for it? A poverty rate that has barely budged, an entrenched bureaucracy, and a population — like that of Greece and Portugal, two welfare-state basket cases — increasingly ... MOREJohn Fund: Twilight Of The Unions
Hard times at the AFSCME convention. Since 2008, we’ve seen the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression. Unlike 75 years ago, however, unions and the Left have this time largely failed to build a rigorous movement of economic populism to further their goals: Witness the now largely disbanded Occupy movement. Indeed, as members ... MORE
