by Paul Rosenberg. A lot of Americans know that the US government is out of control. Anyone who has cared enough to study the US Constitution even a little knows this. Still, very few of these people are taking any significant action, and largely because of one error: They are waiting for “the good guys” to show up and fix things. Some think ...

by Paul Rosenberg. A lot of Americans know that the US government is out of control. Anyone who has cared enough to study the US Constitution even a little knows this. Still, very few of these people are taking any significant action, and largely because of one error: They are waiting for “the good guys” to show up and fix things. Some think ... MOREJacob Sullum: The Bogus 'Public Safety' Exception
The Fifth Amendment doesn't need to be sacrificed. Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, captured last Friday evening, was not informed of his right to remain silent and his right to a lawyer until Monday morning, nearly three days after his arrest. The FBI said the delay was justified under the "public safety" exception to Miranda v. ... MORERobert H. Nelson: The Fractured Left
Good news on natural gas is bad news for Democrats. Much has been said recently about the deep tensions within the
Republican party. Far less has been said about a sharp division arising
inside the Democratic party. That latter tension was front and center recently when former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell wrote an op-ed piece ... MOREThomas Sowell: Immigration Gambles
When political correctness replaces self-preservation. Britain's late Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said it all when she wrote that the world has "never ceased to be dangerous," but the West has "ceased to be vigilant." Nothing better illustrates her point than the fact that the West has imported vast numbers of people who hate our guts and ... MOREPeter Ferrara: Fight Back! Privatize The FAA
They are really asking for it this time. If you are an air traveler this week, you might get a dose of how it feels to be deliberately abused by your government to score political points. President Obama and the Democrat Party are so adamantly opposed to any semblance of cuts in government spending that they cannot abide the sequester that ... MOREBoston: The MSM's Exploded "Journalism"
by Edward Cline. Over the years, I have watched via Internet video countless IED (Improvised Explosive Device) explosions detonated on American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. So, when I read the news of the Boston Marathon bombing of April 15th, and watched the videos of the incident, I was certain that it was a terrorist bombing that killed ... MORECaroline May: Pimping Food Stamps To Seniors
Food stamp recruiter must enroll 150 per month. A Florida food stamp recruiter is tasked with enrolling at least 150 senior citizens in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program a month, The Washington Post reports in a profile about SNAP outreach. Following 56 year old recruiter Dillie Nerios perform her task, to appeal to seniors to get them ... MOREThe Gun Rights Revolution You Might Have Missed
by Miranda Green. If you live in Arkansas, you can now carry a concealed gun into a bar, or a liquor store—or a church. College staffers can bring guns on campus. Folks with a permit from other states can pack heat in Arkansas without filing any paperwork. These are among the half-dozen legal changes in the state that passed only four months ... MOREFederalism Is Good Policy And Good Politics
by Daniel J. Mitchell. It’s a challenge to be a libertarian in Washington because you have to swim against the tide. The vast majority of people in town are looking for excuses to spend money and amass power, and a small band of us are trying to convince them that the federal government should be limited in size and scope. It may ... MOREDavid Deming: The Real Deniers Of Climate Change
A political ideology masked as science. The Northern Hemisphere is experiencing unusually cold weather. Snow cover last December was the greatest since satellite monitoring began in 1966. The United Kingdom had the coldest March weather in 50 years, and there were more than a thousand record low temperatures in the ... MOREThomas Sowell - Genes And Racism
Subtle factors. During decades of watching both collegiate and professional football, I have seen hundreds of touchdowns scored by black players — but not one extra point kicked by a black player. Is this because blacks are genetically incapable of kicking a football or because racists won't let blacks kick a football? Most of us would consider either ... MORE
