American health care is in a bureaucratic death grip. A few years ago, my small local hospital asked a Senate staffer if she could assist them in obtaining federal money for a new building. So she did, expediting the process by which that particular corner of northern New Hampshire was deemed to be “under-served” and thus eligible for the fed gravy. ...

MORE4 Awful Reactions To Sandy Hook School Shooting
by Nick Gillespie. Horrific events such as
the mass shooting at Newtown, Connecticut's Sandy Hook
Elementary School are terrible enough in showcasing the evil that
men do. But they also regularly bring out the worst in observers,
commentators, and pundits who will never let a lack of knowledge or
expertise stand in the way of making grand ... MORECould Guns Really Be Effectively Banned In America?
by Robert Wenzel. In this post, I will not discuss the very strong libertarian philosophical arguments as to why individuals should be allowed to carry guns. Instead, I want to take a look at the practical issue. Suppose Congress passed legislation that banned all guns. Legislation so strong that it required that all guns be turned in. There are 285 million guns in ... MOREBruce Johnson's Bernanke's Cow Bell In The Night
One thing is for certain: Bernanke is committed. But so is a one-trick pony. However, is blind commitment to a theory a virtue or a frailty? The Federal Reserve chairman continues to push the chips out to the center of the table with both hands. He knows that low interest rates create employment. He is certain. Well, pretty certain. ... MORESteve Chapman: Gun Rights Find A New Home
Illinois cannot maintain its fiat ban on concealed-carry. There are certain constants to life in Illinois. Abraham Lincoln has always been revered. The Cubs always find a way to lose. Lake Michigan never goes dry. Letting citizens carrying concealed firearms is out of the question. But one of those is no longer true. Tuesday, a federal appeals court said ... MOREGun Control, People Control And Thought Control
by Daniel Greenfield. The gun control debate, like all debates with the left, is reducible to the question of whether we are individuals who make our own decisions or a great squishy social mass that helplessly responds to stimuli. Do people kill with guns or does the availability of guns kill people? Do bad eating habits kill people or does the ... MOREEd Morrissey: Probable Cause No Longer Required
Government free to rifle through records at will. Remember when government needed something called a warrant or even probable cause to look at your records? Good times, good times.
I’m nostalgic for the halcyon days of, er, February of this year,
before the Attorney General of the United States signed off on an order
allowing the ... MOREOpposing Out-Of-Control Government Spying
by Andrew Napolitano. After President Richard Nixon
was forced from office in 1974, congressional investigators discovered
what they believed was the full extent of his use of the FBI and the CIA
to engage in domestic spying. In that pre-digital era, the spying
consisted of listening to telephone calls, opening mail, and using
undercover agents to ... MORERoss Kaminsky: Death By A Thousand Regulatory Cuts
Prepare for the worst. The public debate over the “fiscal cliff,” the combination of
automatic spending cuts and tax rate increases that our nation is
about to careen into in 2013, started the same way Republicans
always begin following an electoral setback: badly. John Boehner
seemed to be negotiating with himself, and conservative pundit ... MORE
