Jason Method: School Choice Thrives In New Jersey

Kids benefit, even if the teachers' union does not. When Superintendent Anthony Moro drove to Trenton on nearly two years ago, he knew the survival of his elementary school would be determined by the paperwork on his front seat. State officials gave Moro his wish. The brick school, little used by residents of this small Monmouth County town ... MORE

Star Parker: Voter Rights Are Not Free

Just like freedom itself. Engraved large on one of the walls of the Korean War Veterans Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, DC are the words “Freedom is not free.” It is sad that so many are unable or unwilling to appreciate the truth of this simple phrase or are ready to heed those who have or seek power who distort it. I cannot think of ...

Washington Times: Obama, The Leaker In Chief

When politics trump national security.    President Obama takes umbrage at the idea that a spate of leaks of highly classified national-security information is somehow purposefully intended to bolster his leadership credentials.

Patrick Michaels: UN Prepares Shakedown Attempt Of U.S.

End of the world predictions lay the groundwork.  Notice all the horrendous news about our environment?  That’s a sure sign that the UN is about to throw another mega-gabfest where global leaders will shake their heads and shake down the U.S. for monies that Congress will wisely refuse to fork over. Two weekends from now, the UN is holding its “Rio+20   ... MORE

Kevin D. Williamson: Detroit - The Moral Of The Story

Lessons among the ruins. The Left’s answer to the deficit: raise taxes to protect spending. The Left’s answer to the weak economy: raise taxes to enable new spending. The Left’s answer to the looming sovereign-debt crisis: raise taxes to pay off old spending. For the Left, every deficit is a revenue-side problem, not a spending-side problem, and the     ... MORE

Charles C. Johnson: Ray Bradbury - Enemy Of The State

Remembering the late science fiction writer. Ray Bradbury won’t “live forever,” as he wished, but he may well live on as the most-read critic of the state in America’s public schools. It was in public school that I first encountered Bradbury’s magnum opus, Fahrenheit 451, which is required reading in the government schools that made him shutter.     ... MORE

Nullification: What Is It Good For? Absolutely Everything!

by Diane Rufino. Nullification is a term introduced by Thomas Jefferson in 1798 when he drafted the Kentucky Resolves to articulate the reason for the state to oppose an unconstitutional federal law - the Alien and Sedition Acts. Nullification begins with the central premise that a federal law that violates the Constitution is no law at all. It is void and has no ... MORE

Steve Chapman: The Myth Of Unfair Paychecks

A difference in pay does not prove discrimination.   As any debater knows, defining the issue is a major part of the battle. On Tuesday, Democrats failed to persuade the Senate to approve the Paycheck Fairness Act. What are we to conclude from that outcome? That paychecks will be unfair, to the detriment of America's working   ... MORE

Daren Jonescu: America: The Home Of The...Compliant?

From home of the brave to a nation of sheep. If you want a quick measure of the state of American society, you might consider the federal government's use of unmanned aerial drones to monitor U.S. citizens, and in particular the EPA's matter-of-fact defense of its use of drones over the Midwest as necessary to "verify compliance" with environmental   ...

Thomas Sowell: The Real 'War On Women'

Slight of hand under the guise of fairness. Among the people who are disappointed with President Obama, none has more reason to be disappointed than those who thought he was going to be "a uniter, rather than a divider" and that he would "bring us all together." It was a noble hope, but one with no factual foundation. Barack Obama had been a    ... MORE
