by Ron Fournier. What if there is nobody or nothing to blame for Adam Lanza's heinous acts? Other than Lanza, of course. What if school security and the school psychiatrist kept an eye on Lanza since his freshman year? The Wall Street Journal has a compelling narrative about the red flags addressed. What if he had a form of autism that has little or no ... MOREWhat If Nothing Or Nobody Is To Blame For Adam Lanza?

A Shakedown, Not A Fair Shake For The Middle Class
Kumar Rao on the drug war. In the wake of President Obama's re-election and the fervor around "fiscal cliff" negotiations, issues related to middle class empowerment and fairness are rightfully at the center of our national policy agenda. Decisions related to tax burden allocations and spending priorities are being made that have the potential ... MORE

Thomas Sowell - Forward To The Past
Stumbling into a backward future. The political slogan "Forward" served Barack Obama well during this year's election campaign. It said that he was for going forward, while Republicans were for "going back to the failed policies that got us into this mess in the first place." It was great political rhetoric and great political theater. Moreover, the ... MOREJohn Stossel - It's The Spending, Stupid!
Why the account is overdrawn by $16 trillion. Listening to progressive media pundits, I'd think the most evil man in the universe is Grover Norquist, head of Americans for Tax Reform. His crime? He heads a movement that asks political candidates to pledge not to raise taxes. I think Grover accomplished a lot. But I wish he'd convinced ... MOREThomas Sowell: Invincible Ignorance
A knee-jerk is not an enlightened response. Must every tragic mass shooting bring out the shrill ignorance of "gun control" advocates? The key fallacy of so-called gun control laws is that such laws do
not in fact control guns. They simply disarm law-abiding citizens,
while people bent on violence find firearms readily available. ... MORE
Radley Balko: The Police State Comes To Arkansas
Unfortunately, not an exaggeration: "[Police are] going to be in SWAT gear and have AR-15s around their neck," Stovall said. "If you're out walking, we're going to stop you, ask why you're out walking, check for your ID." Stovall said while some people may be offended by the actions of his department, they should not be. "We're going to do it to ... MOREJacob G Hornberger: Those Government Gun-Free Zones
It’s no big surprise. A gun massacre brings out the gun-control crowd, which loudly demands that gun control be imposed on the American people, as if that would have prevented the massacre in Connecticut. It’s really a shame to have to trot out the same arguments exposing the fallacies of statist thinking, but, alas, it must be done. ... MORE

Walter E Williams: A Hundred Percent Of Nothing
The power to control Detroit. JoAnn Watson, Detroit city council member, said, "Our people in an
overwhelming way supported the re-election of this president, and there
ought to be a quid pro quo." In other words, President Obama should send
the nearly bankrupted city of Detroit millions in taxpayer bailout
money. But there's a painful lesson ... MORE
