Barack who? OK, all of you who share my shameful habit of writing history before it happens: It’s time to lay the money on your favorite square. Will all the hydra-headed horrors whip-lashing the Obama White House spend themselves out splashing against a Democratic seawall in the Senate, and the media-corps awaken in the middle of the night ... MOREBarry Farber: Put Your Money On 'Distancing'
Barack who? OK, all of you who share my shameful habit of writing history before it happens: It’s time to lay the money on your favorite square. Will all the hydra-headed horrors whip-lashing the Obama White House spend themselves out splashing against a Democratic seawall in the Senate, and the media-corps awaken in the middle of the night ... MOREMoral Bias At The New York Times
by Tibor R. Machan. The headline said it all: “Confusion and Staff Troubles Rife at I.R.S. Office in Ohio.” No mention of mendacity, of evil, of meanness, of vice, Nada. For liberals their own pals are never morally amiss. They may make mistakes, be confused and have troubles. But guilty of malpractice never! Only Republicans and others who ... MORERalph Benko: The Rise Of Rand Paul
What it means for the libertarian movement. Libertarianism, thanks, among other factors, to the emergence of leading presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul, is coming to the fore. It is presenting itself in fresh, less eccentric, and increasingly attractive ways. Moderate libertarianism may be capturing the fancy of an overtaxed, ... MORE
Senator Uses Oklahoma Tornado To Pimp Her Carbon Tax
by Michael Bastasch. California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer blamed the tornado that devastated Oklahoma on global warming during a Senate floor speech Tuesday, using the opportunity to push her own plan to tax carbon dioxide emissions. “This is climate change,” Boxer said. “This is climate change. We were warned about extreme ... MOREObama's War Against The Free Press Gets Creepier
by J.D. Tuccille. Perhaps the most chilling aspect of the U.S. Department of Justice "investigation" of Fox News chief correspondent James Rosen isn't the intrusive tracking of his movements and contacts — although that's disturbing enough — but the basis for the criminal charges he may ultimately face. At its heart, the allegation ... MOREThe IRS Targeted Conservatives Because It Could
by Peter Suderman. The opening day excuse for the
IRS targeting conservative groups requesting tax exempt status was
that the IRS was facing an unusual influx of applicants. But that
turns out not to have been the case. Applications for tax exempt
501 groups didn’t surge in 2010. In fact, the
number of applicants was
down in every category from ... MOREThomas Sowell: Undoing The Brainwashing
Help your student out. This time of year, as college students return home for the summer, many parents may notice how many politically correct ideas they have acquired on campus. Some of those parents may wonder how they can undo some of the brainwashing that has become so common in what are supposed to be institutions of higher ... MOREGarrett 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
Obama Scandals Bring MSNBC To 7-Year Low
by Dominic Patten. The scandals of the Obama administration seem to be hurting not just the White House but MSNBC as well, while Fox News Channel has just scored its second-best week of the year. After double-digit gains during last year’s presidential election, May 13-17 saw the progressive-aligned “Lean Forward” news network hit new lows ... MORECal Thomas: Tyranny Is No Longer 'Lurking'
It has become a fact of life. Given last week's revelation that the IRS targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, it's worth recalling President Obama's Ohio State University commencement address. The president decried "voices" warning "that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner." It's no longer lurking. It's here. ... MORE
