Uncle Sam is Uncle Sham. My all-American sonic-bombast weapon of choice for 50 years has been those world-class pieces of musical art, the mighty Gibson guitar. I own a stunning arsenal of them. It wouldn’t surprise me if some Fedzillastooge from Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.’s Department of Gunrunning Injustice will try to tell us American ...

Uncle Sam is Uncle Sham. My all-American sonic-bombast weapon of choice for 50 years has been those world-class pieces of musical art, the mighty Gibson guitar. I own a stunning arsenal of them.

MOREThere's No Magic To Lowering Prices And Raising Quality
by Christopher J. Conover. One of the sharpest dividing lines between conservatives and liberals is whether or not markets can work in medicine. Progressives admit to being "deeply suspicious of the claim that a health care system dominated by powerful vested interests and mystifying in its complexity can be tamed by consumers who are strapped for ... MOREAndrew Bernstein: Intensify The War On Drugs
But in a radically new form. The War on Drugs must forcefully continue. Toxic drugs destroy lives. No rational person wants to kill himself on drugs—or witness innocent others kill themselves in similar manner. The first step of a rational, morally proper, and effective war on drugs is to fully legalize all drugs for consenting adults. The government’s ... MOREThomas Sowell: A Powerful Movie
Insight into the messiah. Years, and sometimes decades, pass between my visits to movie theaters. But I drove 30 miles to see the movie "2016," based on Dinesh D'Souza's best-selling book, "The Roots of Obama's Rage." Where I live is so politically correct that such a movie would not even be mentioned, much less shown. Every seat in the theater... MOREThomas Sowell: "Issues" Or America?
Obama reelection means arbitrary rule by decree. There are some very serious issues at stake in this year's election — so many that some people may not be able to see the forest for the trees. Individual issues are the trees, but the forest is the future of America as we have known it. The America that has flourished for more than two centuries is being ... MORE
Government Spending Cuts Are Bad For The Economy?
by Tyler Watts. “Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines,” laments the gruff air traffic controller played by Lloyd Bridges in the ribald disaster-spoof Airplane! Facing the tense situation of helping a nerve-wracked pilot safely land a large passenger jet, “Steve McCroskey” could get a performance boost by popping some pep ... MOREInvestors Business Daily: Fracking Leads To Cleaner Air
The greatest story never told. Carbon emissions in the U.S. have hit a 20-year low due to a supposedly environmentally unfriendly drilling technique that has created an abundance of cheap natural gas. The free market, it seems, does it better than the EPA. Environmentalists find themselves between shale rock and a hard place after a ... MOREErica Martinson: Court Strikes Down EPA Pollution Rules
Court agrees federal bureaucracy goes too far. In a rebuke to the Obama administration, a federal court took a hammer Tuesday to a controversial EPA regulation aimed at forcing states to be “good neighbors” on air pollution. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said Tuesday that the EPA’s Cross-State Air Pollution Rule ... MOREDaily Mail: Stealth Mailbox Cameras Raking In The Revenue
The tactics of public servants or public masters? The speed traps in the surrounding counties of Washington D.C. are going stealth, forgoing the clunky cameras of yesteryear and embracing an unobtrusive model to catch fast drivers. Montgomery and Prince George's County law enforcement officials hope that the new 'mailbox'-like models ... MOREWalter E Williams: Educational Lunacy
Taming the barbarians. If I were a Klansman, wanting to sabotage black education, I couldn't find better allies than education establishment liberals and officials in the Obama administration, especially Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who in March 2010 announced that his department was "going to reinvigorate civil rights enforcement." For Duncan, the civil ... MORE
Don Watkins: Atlas Shrugged Is Required Reading
The promise of freedom from welfare enslavement. It's not often that an American election sparks debate about a philosopher. But ever since Mitt Romney announced his selection of Paul Ryan as his vice presidential candidate, talk has turned to the ideas of novelist-philosopher Ayn Rand. Ryan is on record as being a fan of Rand's, and although ... MORE
