Another day means more waste, fraud or abuse. Occupy Wall Street protesters are reminiscent of writer R. Emmett Tyrrell’s criticism of radical feminists: They don’t know what they want, but they want it very badly. On May Day, the protesters tied up the streets of Oakland, San Francisco, and elsewhere. They are mad as hell and they are not ... MORESteven Greenhut: How Government Makes Life Worse
Another day means more waste, fraud or abuse. Occupy Wall Street protesters are reminiscent of writer R. Emmett Tyrrell’s criticism of radical feminists: They don’t know what they want, but they want it very badly. On May Day, the protesters tied up the streets of Oakland, San Francisco, and elsewhere. They are mad as hell and they are not ... MOREPhil Kerpen: Republicans Need To Stand For Free Market
And, that includes agriculture. I once saw a very conservative member of Congress, someone I respect and with whom I have worked on many issues, tell a room full of free-market activists that he considers himself 99 percent free market capitalist and 1 percent socialist – when it comes to agricultural subsidies. This is a pretty common mentality in ... MOREMichelle Malkin: Julia Embodies Obama's Ideal Citizen
Completely dependent on government. Quick, hide under the covers. The nation’s storyteller, Barack Obama, unveiled a frightening new fable on the Internet intended to scare women away from supporting fiscal conservatives in November. But as is increasingly common with Obama’s social-media propaganda initiatives, “The Life of Julia” immediately ... MOREDavid Grant: Rand Paul Wants To Abolish The TSA
Petition to establish a passenger bill of rights. Forget the Fed, for now – Sen. Rand Paul wants to shut down the TSA. The Kentucky Republican is drafting legislation to end the Transportation Safety Administration and to establish a passenger bill of rights, according to a spokesman from his office. When those bills hit, they'll likely be accompanied by a deluge of ... MOREPeter Morici: Discouraged Americans Quit Looking To Work
Despair is setting in. The economy added 115,000 jobs in April -- much less than expected and not enough to keep up with natural population growth. The unemployment rate fell to 8.1% because another 522,000 adults quit looking for work and are no longer counted. In the weakest recovery since the Great Depression more than four-fifths of the reduction in ... MORER B Parrish: Supremes Uphold Your Right To Be Framed
"A prosecutor ... may receive absolute immunity from suit for acts violating the Constitution in order to advance important societal values." -Elena Kagan, Solicitor General, 2009 After the Civil War, Congress passed several civil rights laws, including one allowing anyone whose said rights had been violated to sue those ... MOREDarlene Storm: Your Car May Used Against You In Court
There is a little black box spy hiding in your vehicle. When you are car shopping, how many times has a salesman pitched the 15 to 30 specific data elements constantly being collected by the car's black box as you drive? Probably never, but there's electronic data everywhere and that includes your car collecting digital evidence which might turn into the star witness ... MOREJohn Stossel: Keeping Nature Exactly As It Is...Forever
So human activity may be restricted endlessly. The human brain is torn between simple intuition and the more complex hard work of figuring out the unintended consequences of any policy. Who doesn’t like thinking about trees and greenery and happy animals? Who doesn’t want to see steps taken to protect those things, all else being equal? But ... MOREJosh Barro: The TSA's Fake Liquids Rule
Bring your liquids, the odds are with you. Since the TSA inflicts so many new and arbitrary policies on travelers, for the last couple of years I’ve been applying one of my own: I don’t take my liquids out of my carry-on bag. And in nearly all instances, I’m finding that the TSA doesn’t care. Since the start of 2011, I’ve cleared security 47 times at U.S. airports. And ... MORECharles T Drevna: War On Fossil Fuels Continues
'Crucify' does reflect Obama's warped energy policy. The April 30 resignation of Environmental Protection Agency Regional Administrator Al Armendariz after he was caught telling the truth - that he wants to “crucify” companies he claims don’t comply with environmental laws - will do nothing to slow the Obama ... MOREMichael S Rozeff: America Invaded By Its Police State
Americans hand over liberty at every turn. I ask you, how illogical is it to argue that because you might be a terror threat to others, the police have a right to stop you on the road, or search you in a bus terminal, or search you in an airport, train station, supermarket, shopping mall, sports event, night club, or simply anywhere on any street at any time or in your home where ... MOREObama & Democrats Garner Communist Party Donations
Toto pulls the political curtain on the Democrats' agenda. The Communist Party USA isn’t always happy with the Democrats, but in the 2012 election, its chairman says, the best bet for advancing the Party’s goals is to back Barack Obama. In a report called “Defeating the Rightwing on the Road to Socialism” delivered to the CPUSA annual conference, Party ... MORE
