Bill O'Reilly: What Happened, Mr. President?

Why all the stonewalling?  It hasn't been a great week for the Obama folks, as the scandal du jour tour has firmly taken hold. Every day it seems another federal agency is exposed as having intimidated, snooped, covered up or gone to Vegas on the taxpayer dime. Zimbabwe is even making fun of us. On Jan. 21, 2009, in remarks welcoming his   ... MORE

John Cassidy: A.P. Scandal Raises Spectre Of Big Brother

A reminder that the government is NOT us.   If the three-strikes rule were in effect, President Obama would be heading for the dugout, bat in hand. First the alleged Benghazi cover-up, then the kerfuffle about the I.R.S. targeting conservative groups, and now the revelation that earlier this year the Justice Department secretly seized two     ...

Rand Paul: A Staggering Abuse Of Power

Obama's disregard for our Constitution. When I filibustered over domestic drone use, critics said that I was being ridiculous. They said that no American had been killed by a drone on American soil and that no one was likely to be anytime soon. President Obama responded that he hadn’t killed anyone yet and didn’t intend to — but he might.            ... MORE

Andrew Napolitano: Storm Clouds Gathering

Government is bad for personal freedom.    That argument is premised upon the truism that everything government does interferes with freedom because it either prohibits or compels. Everything it owns it has taken from others. Much of what it says is divorced from the truth. President Obama, like President George W. Bush, has argued  ... MORE

IRS Seizes 60 Million Medical Records Without A Warrant

Think twice about what you tell the doctor.    As we are being swamped with evidence of Administration wrongdoing, we should not forget to prioritize the vast amount of information we are getting. It is beyond peradventure of doubt at this time that the IRS, ordered to scrutinize the tea party closely  by Democratic  leaders, including  ... MORE

Garrett Quinn: The Free State Project Grows Up

Libertarians are changing the face of New Hampshire.  In 2001 a Yale doctoral student named Jason Sorens published an essay in the small webzine The Libertarian Enterprise, lamenting the failure of libertarian efforts at the ballot box. “Nothing’s working,” he wrote, because libertarians are scattered. The only way to have a real    ... MORE

Grover Norquist: Obama's Chicago-Style IRS

It’s official. President Obama is worse than Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon’s White House had Chuck Colson compile an “enemies list” of people it believed were opposing the Nixon administration’s politics. The purpose of the list was to encourage the IRS to audit and harass those listed. The IRS refused. Fast forward 30 years. President  ... MORE

The Bogus Public Health Attack On Sugar

by Julian Morris. Health activists are in a tizzy over sugar and fast food, which they blame for the obesity “epidemic.” Responding to these concerns, politicians have sought to tax or regulate the alleged culprits. Tort lawyers, smelling tobacco-settlement-scale greenbacks, have been gearing up to sue companies producing sugary beverages. Last     ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: Looking Back -- And Forward

More kicking the can.   A hundred years ago, anyone who might have predicted in 1913 the monumental, man-made catastrophes that would occur in the rest of the 20th century would have been considered warped, if not completely mentally deranged. Who would have believed that the continent of Europe, which had not had a major war in nearly a   ... MORE

Barry Farber: Are Media Finally Doing Their Job?

Poor Jay Carney. Do you remember how World War II started? Don’t tell me “Hitler invaded Poland.” You’ve got to do better than that. The Nazis had “Special Forces” who spoke fluent Polish. They put on Polish army uniforms, sneaked into Poland, then sneaked back into Germany and blew up a German radio station near the Polish border. Hitler   ... MORE
