Chris Moody: The Libertarians' New Choice For President
Gary Johnson is back. You might remember him best as the scrappy long-shot Republican presidential candidate who made a "dog poop" joke from the far end of the debate stage in Florida last year. Perhaps his name rings a bell as the only Republican not named Ron Paul who supported marijuana decriminalization. Or maybe you recall that he's a super athlete and ... MOREWhy Immigrants Make Better Entrepreneurs

Consider the rise of Christian Gheorghe, an entrepreneur who started life in Romania and now is thriving as a Silicon Valley CEO.

A child leaving home alone for the first time takes a risk. So does the entrepreneur who opens a new business. I no more want government to prevent us from doing these things than I want it to keep us in padded cells. Everyone has a different tolerance for risk. One person takes out a second mortgage to start a business. Another thinks that ... MORERonald Bailey: Obama Losing The Keystone Pipeline Battle
Between an environmentalist rock and a labor hard place. The Keystone XL pipeline is roiling U.S. electoral politics again. TransCanada refiled its application for a permit to build the pipeline with the State Department last week. Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has vowed, “I will build that pipeline if I have to do it ... MOREAaron Goldstein: Obama Targets The Tea Party
In his view it's supposed to be dead. The Obama 2012 campaign is in full gear and playing from the Saul Alinsky playbook that has served it so well. You know the drill. Pick a target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it. Obama's re-election team has set it sights on the Tea Party. Of course, it's not the first time the Tea Party has been in Team ...

However, I think young people and their parents should know that Gates is a sham entrepreneur. Gates openly uses his wealth and influence to push policies that will make entrepreneurial ... MOREArthur Herman: Death Of Europe Is America's Opportunity
A vindication of our free market system. Elections Sunday in France and Greece prove once and for all that the European Union is headed off the cliff, and its voters don’t care.

MOREWynton Hall: Justice For Sale At Holder's DOJ

In an explosive Newsweek article set to rock official Washington, reporter Peter Boyer and Breitbart contributing editor and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer reveal how Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice are operating under a “justice for sale” strategy by forgoing criminal ...

Jay Ambrose: Regulation A Mess -- Action Needed Soon
The dictates of our betters. Always fearful there might be some human activity left unregulated, the federal government was recently getting ready to stop children from doing some farm chores, causing farmers to grumble. This is an election year. Farmers vote. And President Barack Obama's electoral caregivers responded to the grumbling by ... MOREThomas Sowell: The Moral Infrastructure
Neglect in the short term invites disaster in the long term. The "Occupy" movement, which the Obama administration and much of the media have embraced, has implications that reach far beyond the passing sensation it has created. The unwillingness of authorities to put a stop to their organized disruptions of other people's lives, their ... MORE
