Sally Pipes: ObamaCare Makes Business Less Likely To Hire
A strong incentive for more unemployment. Wondering why the unemployment rate has been near or above 8 percent for nearly four years? The Federal Reserve has an answer for you: Obamacare. Earlier this month, the Fed released its latest “beige book” – a monthly report on economic conditions across the country. The book noted that employers ... MORECharles Hurt: Government Has A Few Questions For You
Big Brother seeks to learn everything about you. Rage over the waste and injustice of agents sent by the federal government
to bang on doors of law-abiding citizens to ask probing, creepy
questions is normally something that bubbles up only every 10 years. But
ever since the federal government became a cancerous leviathan, the outrage is now ... MOREBrian Phillips: Abolish Public Schools
Make a move toward educational excellence. In recent years, it has become increasingly popular to argue that
government should be operated more like a business. As an example, a manifesto written by sixteen public school executives explains how to fix public schools: Let’s stop ignoring basic economic principles of supply and demand ... MOREJane S. Shaw: The 'P.C.' Dumbing Down Of U.S. Schools
Campuses succumb to groupthink. U.S. colleges and universities are drowning in a sea of “political correctness,” and many of higher education’s “best and brightest” don’t recognize the danger. Indeed, speech codes and groupthink are so prevalent on American campuses that we now take them for granted. Instead of meekly accepting the ... MOREJohn Stossel: Frack To The Future
The political power of silly people. Celebrities are now upset about fracking, the injection of chemicals into the ground to crack rocks to release oil and gas. With everyone saying they want alternatives to foreign oil, I'd think celebrities would love fracking. I'd be wrong. Lady Gaga, Yoko Ono and their group, Artists Against Fracking, don't ... MOREGarth Kent: 340 Sheriffs Refuse To Enforce Gun Control
Standing up against unenforceable knee-jerk reactions. A Colorado sheriff has joined the list of at least 340 sheriffs who
have vowed to uphold the Constitution against gun-control measures that
violate Americans’ Second Amendment rights. Weld County Sheriff John Cooke said he and many other county sheriffs “won’t bother enforcing”
laws ... MOREThomas Sowell: A Real Term Limit
For vision beyond the next election cycle. The main thing wrong with the term limits movement is the "s" at the end of the word "limit." What are advocates of term limits trying to accomplish? If they are
trying to keep government from being run by career politicians, whose
top priority is getting themselves reelected, then term limits on given ... MOREWalter E Williams: Intellectuals And Race
Who creates the greatest hurdle to blacks? After reading Dr. Thomas Sowell's latest book, "Intellectuals and
Race," one cannot emerge with much respect for the reasoning powers of
intellectuals, particularly academics, on matters of race. There's so
much faulty logic and downright dishonesty. Many intellectuals attribute the behavior patterns ... MOREVIDEO: Food Stamp Outreach To Illegal Aliens
Sequester or not, politicians find new ways to squander your tax dollar.
'Public Servants' Humiliate American Hero At Airport
TSA demands marine take off his legs for search. Transportation Security Administration inspectors forced a wounded
Marine who lost both of his legs in an IED blast and who was in a
wheelchair to remove his prosthetic legs at one point, and at another
point to stand painfully on his legs while his wheelchair was examined,
according to a ... MOREAndrew Moylan: Don't Tax The Internet
Beware of the "Marketplace Fairness Act." Senate Republicans will face a fork in the road this week when Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., forces a vote on a measure paving the way for expanded state sales tax collection for online purchases. The route Durbin would have them take would eventually lead to passage of the so-called “Marketplace Fairness Act,” a bill ... MORE
