Terrence Scanlon: Picking Seniors' Pockets
AARP doesn't care about elderly members. I’m going to come right out and say it: AARP is about money and power. That’s all it’s interested in. Formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons, the nation’s largest seniors group hasn’t cared about its elderly members’ well-being for eons. It’s been too busy building a financial empire. ... MOREDaniel Miller: Words To Avoid Online ...
if you don't want the government spying on you.

Phyllis Schlafly: It's None Of The Government's Business
Individuals forced to feed personal info to government. What is it about bureaucrats and school personnel that they want to pry into the personal life and habits of American citizens of every age? There seems to be no end to the imperial demands by government and schools to require both grownups and kids to reveal personal information. The use of ... MOREWalter E Williams: Our Nation's Future
The fruits of Congressional overgrazing. Our nation is rapidly approaching a point from which there's little chance to avoid a financial collapse. The heart of our problem can be seen as a tragedy of the commons. That's a set of circumstances when something is commonly owned and individuals acting rationally in their own self-interest ... MOREKevin Kelly: Ron Paul Has Already Won
The most underreported story of the political year. The mainstream media continue to discount Ron Paul as a factor in the race for the Republican nomination, even though he and his supporters could become serious contenders when the convention meets in August. Paul continues to rack up delegates in such states as Iowa, Minnesota ... MORETSA To Modify Groping Procedures For Seniors
Must be over 75 to qualify. Surely the TSA is not using some common sense? Maybe humiliating seniors wasn't as successful as they had hoped. I still remain confident that the TSA will still find a way to embarrass their fair share of dangerous grannies. MSNBC.com: Since March, TSA workers at airports in Chicago, Denver, Orlando and Portland, Ore., have been ... MORE

While most Americans are aware of the Trayvon Martin shooting in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012, very few know about the thousands of whites who have been brutally murdered ... MOREAustin Hill: California Democrats Party Like It's 1978
Governor Jerry Brown and the same ol' failed ideas. Taxes must be raised. Either that, or teachers and cops will be laid-off, and the people of California will suffer. So says Governor Jerry Brown, as he seeks to convince Californians that they should vote themselves higher taxes. The Golden State’s circumstances are dire, yet Jerry Brown is facing the crisis ...

Ted Nugent: Teach Your Children Freedom Isn't Free
Remember those who have paid the price. Freedom isn’t free. Never has been, never will be. Very special warriors have provided freedom at supreme sacrifice since time immemorial. Good people will never forget, and we celebrate Memorial Day with a hard-charging spirit in appreciation for hard-charging warriors. With his lifeblood pouring ... MORE
Government Beneficiaries And Other Fairly Tales
by Sheldon Richman. I admit I’m amused by the unceasing economic and political malarkey that flows from the pundits at MSNBC. Many of these gems come during its promos, which, as viewers of the network know very well, promote not its programs but all-pervasive government. The two I have in mind today are from Lawrence ...
