Government fears there is too much liberty in America. Here's some important news I wish you didn't have to read about because it might make you less likely to freely express your opinions. And when Americans no longer feel comfortable expressing opinions, our Constitution and way of life are clearly in peril. It's recently come to light that the U.S. ...

Government fears there is too much liberty in America. Here's some important news I wish you didn't have to read about because it might make you less likely to freely express your opinions. And when Americans no longer feel comfortable expressing opinions, our Constitution and way of life are clearly in peril. It's recently come to light that the U.S. ... MORELee DeCovnick: The Rising Fever Of Despotism
The grim reality of tyranny. Andrew McCarthy commands a well-deserved respect for his insightful and thought provoking discourse on American conservatism. And Saturday's NRO column clearly delineates what many conservatives think about the despotic nature of this administration. The sharply focused conclusion, that tyranny's deadly embrace has ... MOREJohn W. Whitehead: Dawn Of The Drones
Total surveillance state is the path to total control. “To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. It is, under ... MOREDeneen Borelli: Why Voter ID Should Matter To All Of Us
What's more important than the integrity of the ballot box? The Rev. Jesse Jackson and other establishment civil rights leaders scolded South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley earlier this year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day no less, for her state’s voter identification law. They reminded her that her Indian ancestry (Gov. Haley's parents are from Amritsar in India’s ... MORETSA Recipe For Fun: Naked Body Scanner And A Cute Girl
Females are favorite TSA targets. Female passengers say they are being targeted by TSA screeners for sexual harassment, with one Texas woman being forced to pass through a naked body scanner three times so chuckling male TSA workers in a back room could get a good look at her “cute” figure. The incident occurred at DFW International Airport ... MOREErick Erickson: Rick Santorum Is A Pro-Life Statist
What a big government conservative looks like. I’m rather tired of all the people who don’t like Romney trying to claim Rick Santorum is not a big government conservative, or not a pro-life statist. I would support him before I would support Romney too, but I have no intention of giving up ideological and intellectual consistency in the name of beating ... MOREA. Barton Hinkle: Step Away From That Cookie
The food police are prone to exaggeration. “It may be better to live under robber barons,” wrote C.S. Lewis, “than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep...but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” Now there was a fellow who ... MOREFood Cops Say 4-Year Old's Sandwich Not Healthy Enough
Little girl fed chicken nuggets instead. A North Carolina mom is irate after her four-year-old daughter returned home late last month with an uneaten lunch the mother had packed for the girl earlier that day. But she wasn’t mad because the daughter decided to go on a hunger strike. Instead, the reason the daughter didn‘t eat her lunch is because someone at ... MORE
Kenny Tan: One Step Closer To A Police State
America's military police puts liberty at stake. Unknown to many Americans, Ronald Reagan's presidency led to one of the greatest ongoing erosions of individual liberties in our history. Though it was President Nixon that declared the War on Drugs, it was under President Reagan's leadership that the United States launched a renewed offensive in the battle. ... MOREBob Confer: Let Capitalism Decide The Minimum Wage
Free market creates jobs and increases wages. For weeks now politicians in New York have debated ad nauseum Assemblyman Sheldon Silver’s proposal to increase the minimum wage in New York State by $1.25. The argument — whether to maintain the status quo or strive for $8.50 per hour — is wasteful political rhetoric in itself, for the determination ... MOREJim Harper: Government's Surveillance-Security Fantasies
A high cost in dollars and privacy for the individual. If two data points are enough to draw a trend line, the trend I’ve spotted is government seeking to use data mining where it doesn’t work. A comment in the Chronicle of Higher Education recently argued that universities should start mining data about student behavior in order to thwart incipient ... MORE
