The jury box is our last stand against tyranny. The Mayor of San Diego is encouraging jurors of an upcoming medical
marijuana case to reject the prosecution’s argument, which rests on the
fact that marijuana is banned at the federal level. The feds

by Steven Greenhut. “As many as 100,000 crack babies are born every year,” reported the Los Angeles Times in an overheated 1990 article echoing the results of a Department of Health and Human Services study. The feds were calling for a massive influx of tax dollars to fund social programs to help a new generation of Americans born to mothers ... MOREJaana Woiceshyn: The Value Of Free-Market Competition

MOREStephen Moore: What Would Milton Friedman Say?
Unlimited immigration and a welfare state don't mix. One of the fascinating sideshows of the immigration debate within the Republican Party and the conservative movement is the debate about where the late Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman stood on the issue. The blogosphere is abuzz with varying interpretations of what ... MORERalph R. Reiland: A Government Against Liberty
Public servants or public masters? Let’s say you’re like most people and believe the federal government has become too large, too wasteful, too crooked and too intrusive. Now imagine the morning mail arrives from the money-bleeding U.S. Postal Service ($16 billion in the hole last year) and there’s a letter from the Internal Revenue ... MOREDavid Harsanyi: Undermining Our Most Basic Right
This is what happens when you fear free speech. Perhaps these Obama administration scandals (popularly referred to as "so-called scandals" in liberal media circles) lack the explosive drama of a Watergate and the entertainment value of Bill Clinton's peccadilloes, but for those who are less obsessed with the political consequences and more ...

wiretapping, and such: Back in ... MOREBob Unruh: States React To Fed Agenda With Nullification
Fighting back against government overreach. On the heels of a recent
poll that said 29 percent of registered voters believe an “armed
revolution” may be needed in America to restore liberties, a second poll said Americans already have figured out a solution – reject federal laws that are unconstitutional. Now it appears on issues ranging from ... MOREZach Weissmueller: Who Decides How You Die?
A question of self-ownership. You may have the right to control your own life, but what about
your own death? This is a question facing several states across the
U.S., including, most recently, Vermont and Montana. While physician aid-in-dying, or assisted suicide, has been
legal in Oregon for almost two decades and legal in Washington

Government's response to inconvenient truths.
