Your tax dollars at work. A public university in Colorado may have violated state law by offering students course credit if they volunteered with President Obama’s re-election campaign. A blog post on the Adams State University website billed the opportunity as a “12 week long organizing internship for the Obama Campaign.” Both the blog ... MORERobby Soave: Campaign For Obama, Get College Credit
Your tax dollars at work. A public university in Colorado may have violated state law by offering students course credit if they volunteered with President Obama’s re-election campaign. A blog post on the Adams State University website billed the opportunity as a “12 week long organizing internship for the Obama Campaign.” Both the blog ... MOREBarry Farber: Obama's Mainstreaming Of Marxism
The commies like Barrack. So what? An email came though with the subject line, “Yikes! Look who just endorsed Obama for 4 more years!” I scrambled to get past the tease and into the revelation. I expected the villain would be a prominent Republican governor or mayor or some major conservative having one of those fits that swept Arianna Huffington ... MOREJohn Stossel: Because Prohibition Worked So Well ...
Why to we continue the war on drugs? Forty years ago, the United States locked up fewer than 200 of every 100,000 Americans. Then President Nixon declared war on drugs. Now we lock up more of our people than any other country — more even than the authoritarian regimes in Russia and China. A war on drugs — on people, that is — is unworthy of a ... MORE Katie Kieffer: RINOS Play FarmVille
Farming is a game to RINOS (Republicans In Name Only). But farming is not a game. Not in America. We are the world’s No. 1 exporter of wheat, corn and soybeans. If we mess up, global food prices soar, livestock die, and streets erupt in riots. The GOP is supposed to be the party that “gets” economics. Republicans pride themselves ... MOREDaren Jonescu: The Last Line Of Defense: Property
The fight for property rights is the fight for reason. "Property is theft." Proudhon's classic anarchist paradox is more than a catchy slogan for international leftism. It encapsulates a complete and comprehensively absurd view of humanity -- one which finds its contemporary apotheosis in President Obama's more prosaic rendition, "You didn't build that." ... MORE
James V. DeLong: America's Crisis Of Political Legitimacy
Finding the road back to consent and stability. The Founders were right to posit that a breakdown of the limits of government would cause a breakdown of consent. Only 22 percent of likely voters say the current government has the consent of the governed. Across many decades, my mind’s eye sees Professor Samuel Beer pacing the ... MORE
Daniel Greenfield: Why You Will Never Buy A Car Again
Obama cars are coming. If you’ve been waiting around to buy a new car, better hurry up. If Obama gets his way, the only car you will be able to buy will be a small hybrid cube and will cost more than you can afford. The Obama administration has finalized new fuel economy rules that will require the fleet-wide average of new cars and trucks sold in ... MOREThomas Sowell: Entitlement Reform
The young, not the elderly, should be alarmed. For those of us who like to believe that human beings are rational, trying to explain what happens in politics can be a real challenge. For example, that segment of the population that has the least to fear from a reform of Medicare or Social Security is the most fearful — namely, those already receiving ... MOREStephen Mauzy: Why Free Markets
The best political economy imaginable. To exchange for greater benefit is as natural to humans as any innate bodily function. Exchange needn't be taught or explicated. No inculcation need occur. It just happens. A kindergartener exchanges his juice box for another kindergartener's cupcake. Because of inequality of wants -- ... MORE
