The fruits of Obama's budget. President Obama’s budget released Monday embodies his policies for economic growth and recovery. The document, including the President’s accompanying budget message, makes those policies quite clear.

The fruits of Obama's budget. President Obama’s budget released Monday embodies his policies for economic growth and recovery. The document, including the President’s accompanying budget message, makes those policies quite clear. If you think the key to economic growth and prosperity is increased government spending, financed by increased ... MORECharles Krauthammer: ObamaCare Vs. The Constitution
Give him points for cleverness. President Obama’s birth control “accommodation” was as politically successful as it was morally meaningless. It was nothing but an accounting trick that still forces Catholic (and other religious) institutions to provide medical insurance that guarantees free birth control, tubal ligation and morning-after abortifacients — all of which ... MOREGary Shapiro: Political Correctness Is Hurting America
A silent killer of liberty. I recently ran across an old Internet joke that attempts to define the term “political correctness.” The joke reads: “Political correctness is a doctrine – fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rapidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media – which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit ... MOREJim Yardley: A Suicide Pact For Everyone
The partnership of unions and government. The U.S. Department of Labor and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) are taking action to make it easier for union bosses to force non-union plants to organize. This flies in the face of economic reality, although it does fit nicely with Obama's ideology and his re-election campaign strategy. International trade is a fact of ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Time To Tame The Federal Beast
We need a game changer. When the federal government was created, those who risked their lives and their fortunes and their scared honors to secede from England were animated by recent events. The government did not come into existence in a vacuum. Rather, those who led the Revolutionary War joined those who fought and financed it to create ... MOREDavid Harsanyi: Commerce Is The Culture War
Government wants to dictate what people buy and sell. It's always curious to watch the champions of "choice" decide what choices to champion and what choices to dismiss for the common good. If you believe that the Obama administration's decision to force Catholic institutions to pay for and offer (directly or indirectly) products the church finds ... MOREJohn Stossel: Never Trust Government Numbers
Big government rides on the wheels of deception. President Obama said in his State of the Union speech, "We've already agreed to more than $2 trillion in cuts and saving." That was reassuring. The new budget he released this week promises $4 trillion in "deficit reduction" — about half in tax increases and half in spending cuts. But like most politicians ... MORESteven Nelson: New York State Of Mind
Gun amnesty for criminals, felony charges for Marine. Ryan Jerome was arrested and charged with felony gun possession in September during a visit to New York, after unknowingly violating the state’s tough gun laws. As charges pend against the Indiana resident, real-life criminals are permitted to sell illegal weapons to the city for cash, no questions ... MORESteve Gunn: What Is Homeland Security Really Monitoring?
Government fears there is too much liberty in America. Here's some important news I wish you didn't have to read about because it might make you less likely to freely express your opinions. And when Americans no longer feel comfortable expressing opinions, our Constitution and way of life are clearly in peril. It's recently come to light that the U.S. ... MORELee DeCovnick: The Rising Fever Of Despotism
The grim reality of tyranny. Andrew McCarthy commands a well-deserved respect for his insightful and thought provoking discourse on American conservatism. And Saturday's NRO column clearly delineates what many conservatives think about the despotic nature of this administration. The sharply focused conclusion, that tyranny's deadly embrace has ... MORE
