by Jonathon Moseley. "Question Authority" was a dominant political theme in the '60s and 70s We're talking about the 1760s and the 1770s, of course -- the American Revolution. Well, sure, the 1960s and the 1970s, too. But our country was founded on the idea "Question Authority" while opposing the King of England in the 1760s and 1770s. ...

MOREKatie Kieffer: Agency Girls Gone Wild
Too dirty to clean up their acts? Agency girls are going wild. Obama’s leading ladies make students partying on the beach look like amateurs. Misbehavin’ is a resume booster in Washington, D.C. But not the kind of misbehaving that you might think. There are no wet t-shirt contests. It’s a buttoned-up misbehavin’—personified by ... MORERonald Bailey: The Top 5 Lies About Fracking
A campaign of deception. Gasland Part
II, the sequel to director/activist Josh Fox's earlier
anti-fracking docudrama Gasland, will run on HBO next
Monday. It appears to have rounded up the usual corporate villains
and appealing victims of profit-hungry capitalist skullduggery,
rather than telling the more substantial story: that ... MOREWalter E Williams: Black Education Tragedy
A dysfunctional system on trial. As if more evidence were needed about the tragedy of black education, Rachel Jeantel, a witness for the prosecution in the George Zimmerman murder trial, put a face on it for the nation to see. Some of that evidence unfolded when Zimmerman's defense attorney asked 19-year-old Jeantel to read a letter ... MOREJ.D. Tuccille: Court Secretly Expands NSA Power
Surveillance rules loosened. I have, oh-so-cynically, referred to
the court set up under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act as
a "phony

every snooping request that comes its way. Of course, I base that
subjective assessment on the fact that, in 11 years, the
court has denied ... MOREJulian Hattem: EPA Set To Deploy Host Of New Regulations
Administration to unveil new obstacles to job growth. The Obama administration is looking forward to a host of new environmental regulations that go far beyond the president's plans to issue new standards for greenhouse gas emissions from new and existing power plants.

U.S. Postal Service Is Tracking All Mail Sent Within Country
Just like the NSA's PRISM spying. Federal officials have been tracking all mail sent through the United States Postal Service for well over a decade, but have been monitoring select pieces of mail for over a century. Using a pair of systems that snap images of envelopes and catalogue them into batches, the federal government tracks all ... MOREThomas Sowell: The Mindset Of The Left: Part IV
The visions of the anointed. At the heart of the left's vision of the world is the implicit assumption that high-minded third parties like themselves can make better decisions for other people than those people can make for themselves. That arbitrary and unsubstantiated assumption underlies a wide spectrum of laws and policies over the years, ... MOREWhy Many Young People Will Opt Out Of ObamaCare
by Kelli Kennedy. Dan Lopez rarely gets sick and hasn't been to a doctor in 10 years, so buying health insurance feels like a waste of money. Even after the federal health overhaul takes full effect next year, the 24-year-old said he will probably decide to pay the $100 penalty for those who skirt the law's requirement that all Americans purchase ... MOREMayors Unanimously Call On Feds To Butt Out Of Pot Issue
In Las Vegas, mayors go rogue on legalization. The 180 elected officials attending the annual meeting of the U.S. conference of mayors in Sin City unanimously adopted a resolution
urging the federal government to let states and localities make their
own marijuana policy. The bipartisan sponsors—including, along with the
usual ... MORE
