Walter E Williams: Educational Rot
Schools of education are academic slums. American education is in a sorry state of affairs, and there's enough blame for all participants to have their fair share. They include students who are hostile and alien to the education process, uninterested parents, teachers and administrators who either are incompetent or have been beaten down by the system, ... MORERalph Benko: DHS To Aquire 1.6 Billion Rounds Of Ammo
Just what is the Obama regime up to? The Denver Post, on February 15th, ran an Associated Press article entitled Homeland Security aims to buy 1.6b rounds of ammo, to far too little notice.

John Fund: Minimum Wage Equals Maximum Confusion
Why it hurts the poor more than helps. President Obama made headlines in January when he called for raising the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $9 and tying future increases to inflation. Politically, calling for a higher minimum wage is a winner. This week, New York’s state assembly voted to implement Obama’s plan locally. On the national level, ... MORENicole Russell: Rand's Band Of Brothers
The liberty diehards. Whatever his ideological leanings, surely Shakespeare would have raised an eyebrow at the political scene Wednesday, if only for the content it would have stirred in his creative mind.

Insisting on a meaningful Bill of Rights. On Wednesday, I rose to begin a filibuster on the nomination of John O. Brennan to be director of the CIA. I stood up with the intent of speaking until I was no longer able to speak. I vowed to speak as long as it took, until an alarm was sounded from coast to coast that our Constitution is important, that our rights to ... MORE
