MORESteve Chapman: Teachers' Strike Shows Need For Choice
An impediment to innovation, efficiencies and standards. On Monday, Sept. 10, the first day the Chicago Teachers Union
was out on strike, 350,000 public-school students—and their
parents—were left high and dry. But for 52,000 other youngsters
enrolled in public schools, it was just another day of learning.
They attend charter schools, of which ... MOREAvik Roy: AARP Made $2.8 Billion Selling Out Seniors
Why the AARP supported MediCare cuts. As you know if you’ve been reading this blog, Obamacare cuts $716 billion from Medicare in order to pay for its expansion of coverage to low-income Americans. It’s one of the reasons why seniors are more opposed to the new health law than any other age group. So why is it that the group that purports to ... MOREGovernment Dependency Rises, Number Of Taxpayers Fall

Information is power. This is an important video that all citizens need to watch.
Mark Steyn: Bowing To The Mob
So much for freedom of speech. I see the Obama campaign has redesigned the
American flag, and very attractive it is too. Replacing the 50 stars of a
federal republic is the single “O” logo symbolizing the great gaping
maw of spendaholic centralization. And where the stripes used to be are a
handful of red daubs, eerily mimicking the bloody ... MOREJacob Sullum: Bloomberg's Big Beverage Ban
Paternalistic precedent won't make anyone thinner. Everyone expected that New York City’s Board of Health, all 11
members of which were appointed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, would
rubber-stamp his proposed 16-ounce cap on servings of
sugar-sweetened soft drinks. But at a meeting in June, several
board members zeroed in on the most ... MOREThomas Sowell - The Fallacy Of Redistribution
It is not complicated. The recently discovered tape on which Barack Obama said back in 1998 that he believes in redistribution is not really news. He said the same thing to Joe the Plumber four years ago. But the surfacing of this tape may serve a useful purpose if it gets people to thinking about what the consequences of redistribution are. ... MOREWarrantless Spying Bill Passes House, Moves To Senate
Legalizing tyranny. The House of Representatives voted to renew the dangerous FISA Amendment Act—which
hands the NSA broad, warrantless surveillance powers over Americans’
international communications—for another five years. Sadly, the House
refused to add any new oversight powers or privacy protections, despite ample evidence the NSA has ... MORELeonard Pitts Jr.: Free Speech Is Not Negotiable

or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of

assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” ... MORE
