Only the right principles can save us. We value physicians for their ability to optimize the length and quality of our lives. They value treating and preventing illness, relieving pain and curing disease. Yet the relationship between doctors and patients is increasingly under attack by a relentless government. A hydra-headed monster of multiple ... MOREDomestic Drones To Hunt Gun Carriers In America For DHS

Erik Rush: The Rise Of America's Gestapo
The enemies of the Constitution. On March 4, despite hundreds of Coloradans flooding the State Capitol in Denver and honking horns on the streets that encircle the building all day long, and the presence of 25 county sheriffs opposed to seven Democratic gun-control proposals, the measures all passed the Colorado House along party-line votes. ... MOREBrian Domitrovic: The Sequester That Saved The Economy
Remember stimulus spending? That’s the stuff that the government is supposed to come up with when the economy goes into recession. The idea is that since government expenditures are one part of overall economic output, when private activity wanes, aggregate output, or “GDP” can be maintained. It’s intriguing as a theory, perhaps, but in ... MOREIf You're Reading This, You're Surviving The Sequester Cuts
by John Stossel. That may surprise you, since President Obama likened the sequester to taking a "meat cleaver" to government, causing FBI agents to be furloughed, prosecutors to let criminals escape and medical research to grind to a halt! The media hyped it, too. The NBC Nightly News said, "The sequester could cripple air travel, force ... MORE

Robert Higgs: Don't Rely On A Quack Doctor
Some prescriptions can have adverse actions. A man goes to his doctor for a routine checkup. The doctor performs a perfunctory examination and informs him that unless he receives an experimental treatment the doctor has devised, he will soon become disabled. “What’s it cost, Doc?” the man asks. “Well, unfortunately it’s not cheap, ...

Andrew Napolitano: The Right To Self-Defense
To right to self-protect preceded government. In all the noise caused by the Obama administration's direct assault on the right of every person to keep and bear arms, the essence of the issue has been drowned out. The president and his big-government colleagues want you to believe that only the government can keep you free and safe, so to them, ... MORE
Guy F. Caruso: Recognizing America's New Energy Reality
Energy trade, not restrictions/taxes, will advance growth. In less than a decade, the role of unconventional oil and gas has dramatically changed the energy outlook in the United States. Over the next 20 years, US natural gas and coal exports will increase and oil imports will decline steadily. Abundant domestic energy can be a huge driver of the ... MORERed State: Political Correctness, Bullying And Other BS
Some lessons need to be learned: You can tell your child a million times, “don’t touch the stove, it’s hot,” or you can tell them once, let them touch it, and they quickly figure it out. Some will think I am evil, but the fact is it’s effective. Choices are a part of life; the wrong ones will burn you. Traditionally in America, we have always tried to make ... MOREAmy Payne: Busting 5 Myths About The Minimum Wage
It hurts, not helps, low-skill workers. When someone says “minimum wage,” what comes to mind? Do you think of teenagers flipping burgers? Or a single parent trying to feed several kids? While President Obama and other proponents of a higher minimum wage
want you to visualize that single parent, the truth is that a
burger-flipping ... MORE
