Limited government advocates are not morally suspect. Last week, Conservative pundit Ann Coulter told me and a thousand young libertarians that we libertarians are puss- -- well, she used slang for a female body part. We were in Washington, D.C., at the Students for Liberty conference, taping my TV show, and she didn't like my questions ... MOREJohn Stossel: Libertarian's Awkward Bedfellows
Limited government advocates are not morally suspect. Last week, Conservative pundit Ann Coulter told me and a thousand young libertarians that we libertarians are puss- -- well, she used slang for a female body part. We were in Washington, D.C., at the Students for Liberty conference, taping my TV show, and she didn't like my questions ... MOREThomas Sowell - Shepherds And Sheep
Sheep are easily led astray. John Stuart Mill's classic essay "On Liberty" gives reasons why some
people should not be taking over other people's decisions about their
own lives. But Professor Cass Sunstein of Harvard has given reasons to
the contrary. He cites research showing "that people make a lot of
mistakes, and that those mistakes can prove ... MOREShawn Mitchell: On Disarming American Women
Whistle while your raped. Freshman lawmaker Joe Salazar, (D. Thornton) became an embarrassing distraction for the liberal juggernaut in Colorado last week when he blurted out what he really thinks of the Second Amendment, the right of self defense, and the faculties of women in peril. Hint: His views are appalling. As backlash developed, Salazar ... MOREPhil Kerpen: Government Spending Hurts People
The money comes out of their hides. We should not accept the statist premise that most government spending helps people. Government spending is not just wasteful or inefficient, but all too often serves to crush the private economy and individual freedom. In the coming days the media will provide a constant stream of purported victims of ... MOREDan Dagget: Using Gun Violence To Get Elected
Why liberals have no interest in real solutions. The most frustrating aspect of the continuing verbal marathon about guns and gun control is that no one is talking about the real cause of our continuing problem with mass, meaningless murder. That means no one is talking about real solutions that will have real results. Instead, we are ... MORETristan Higgins: Why I Hate The TSA
Ignorance and humiliation "public servant-style." Some days are worse than others. I've talked a lot on my blog
about what I experience as a butch lesbian, specifically how people
interact with me when they see that I don't conform to the gender
identities that they expect. I feel all lined up on the inside -- I am a
woman physically, and I feel like ... MOREA. Barton Hinkle: The Bogus Case Against Junk Food
Anti-food nannies launch their latest attack. A recent cover story in The New York Times Magazine
offers a shocking exposé of Big Food. In granular detail it relates
the food conglomerates' "hyper-engineered, savagely marketed,
addiction-creating battle for 'stomach share.'” If you don't have
the time to slog through the nearly 10,000 words, ... MOREKatie Kieffer: Scaring The Ghost Of El Chapo
El Chapo haunts the streets of Chicago. His ghost hoards cash in Los Angeles stash houses. His shadow darkens underground tunnels between Mexico and the U.S. His spirit drives his clan to bloodshed. The world’s most-wanted kingpin may be dead. But the Sinaloa cartel will thrive until America legalizes drugs. Guatemalan authorities are currently ... MOREWalter E Williams: Higher Minimum Wages
A maximum folly. In his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama proposed raising the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $9 an hour. That would be almost a 25 percent increase. Let's look at the president's proposal, but before doing so, let's ask some other economic questions. Are people responsive to changes in price? For example, if the price of ... MORE
