Without freedom, we are nothing. What does freedom have to do with rising from the dead? When America was in its infancy and struggling to find a culture and frustrated at governance from Great Britain, the word most frequently uttered in speeches and pamphlets and letters was not safety or taxes or peace; it was freedom. ...

Without freedom, we are nothing. What does freedom have to do with rising from the dead? When America was in its infancy and struggling to find a culture and frustrated at governance from Great Britain, the word most frequently uttered in speeches and pamphlets and letters was not safety or taxes or peace; it was freedom. ... MOREThe Manufactured Authority Of The Nanny State
A core American concept, corrupted and ignored. Lately, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been the chief spokesman touting the merits and necessity of a Utopian nanny state. In a moment of honesty, he said while making a recent appearance on NBC, "I do think there certain times when we should infringe on your freedom." ... MOREJacob Sullum: Proactive Policing Becomes Harassment
NYPD's stop-and-frisk program is unconstitutional. The first time David Floyd was stopped and frisked, on a Friday afternoon in April 2007, he was walking down Beach Avenue a few doors from his house in the Bronx when two police officers confronted him, demanding to know who he was, where he was going, what he was doing, and ...

Supreme Court Limits Drug-Sniffing Dog Use
Cops deprived of one warrantless search capability.

The case, Florida v. Jardines, dealt with whether ... MOREForbes Op-Ed: Feinstein Shoots-Off Mouth, Hits Foot
Gun control misses the mark. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) engaged in a shoot-out over the constitutionality of her proposed Senate bill to ban “assault weapons” and “high-capacity” magazines.

MOREJohn Stossel: Imperial Washington
Where public servants go to become masters. The Senate did something this past weekend it hasn't done in four years: passed a budget. The law requires the Senate to pass a budget, but Congress often ignores its own laws. For most of Barack Obama's presidency, a series of continuing resolutions kept the money — your money ... MOREWalter E Williams: Are We Equal?
Are women equal to men? Are Jews equal to gentiles? Are blacks equal to Italians, Irish, Polish and other white people? The answer is probably a big fat no, and the pretense or assumption that we are equal — or should be equal — is foolhardy and creates mischief. Let's look at it. Male geniuses outnumber female geniuses 7-to-1. Female ... MOREThomas Sowell: 'Me Too' Republicans
RINOs running in a herd. Many ideas presented as "new" are just rehashes of old ideas that have been tried before — and have failed before. So it is no surprise that the recent "Growth and Opportunity Project" report to the Republican National Committee is a classic example of what previous generations called "Me too" ... MORE
