Wayne Allyn Root: How To Win The Battle For Capitalism
Remember what produces our high standard of life. I was recently asked to deliver a lecture about the virtues of capitalism, entrepreneurship, and the rules of business success at Harvard University. I am thrilled to report that capitalism and entrepreneurship are alive, well, and still celebrated — even at one of the world’s greatest ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: What Constitutes A Fair Trial?
Hard questions and inconvenient truths. The trial of the alleged masterminds of 9/11, which began last week at the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, will address some of the most profound issues of our era. Are natural rights truly inalienable, as Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, or can the government take them ... MOREPete Kasperowicz: House to Eric Holder: Stop Lying To Us
Stonewalling Operation Fast and Furious. The House Wednesday evening voted overwhelmingly to prevent the Justice Department from using taxpayer funds to lie to Congress. The vote came in a Wednesday evening series of amendments to a bill, H.R. 5326, funding the Justice Department for 2013. Members approved the language in a 381-41 vote; all 41 "no" ... MOREKatrina Trinko: Paul's Delegate Scramble
Why Ron Paul's delegate count remains relevant. Mitt Romney was declared the initial winner of the Iowa caucuses. Then, after a recount, Rick Santorum was announced as the actual victor. But it’s Ron Paul who may be having the last laugh in the Hawkeye State — and elsewhere. While media and voter attention has shifted to the general election, Paul ... MORE
Jim Holt: Results Lead To Questions On DUI Checkpoints
3,279 motorists detained, 3 drunk drivers arrested. Checkpoints set up to intercept drunken drivers are still worthwhile — despite only three impaired driving arrests made out of more than 3,600 motorists stopped during three recent checkpoints, local sheriff’s officials said Tuesday. Monthly since March, deputies with the Santa Clarita ... MORE
George F Will: Proposal Would Mow Down Bill Of Rights
The First Amendment under assault. Controversies can be wonderfully clarified when people follow the logic of illogical premises to perverse conclusions. For example, two academics recently wrote in the British Journal of Medical Ethics that “after-birth abortions” — killing newborn babies — are matters of moral indifference because newborns, like fetuses, “do ... MOREChris Moody: The Libertarians' New Choice For President
Gary Johnson is back. You might remember him best as the scrappy long-shot Republican presidential candidate who made a "dog poop" joke from the far end of the debate stage in Florida last year. Perhaps his name rings a bell as the only Republican not named Ron Paul who supported marijuana decriminalization. Or maybe you recall that he's a super athlete and ... MOREWhy Immigrants Make Better Entrepreneurs
by George Anders. What makes immigrants twice as likely to launch a high-tech startup, compared with their native born peers? Consider the rise of Christian Gheorghe, an entrepreneur who started life in Romania and now is thriving as a Silicon Valley CEO. Gheorghe’s latest company, Tidemark Systems, is in the spotlight this month. The Redwood City, Calif., maker of ... MOREJohn Stossel: Creating A Risk-Free World
A child leaving home alone for the first time takes a risk. So does the entrepreneur who opens a new business. I no more want government to prevent us from doing these things than I want it to keep us in padded cells. Everyone has a different tolerance for risk. One person takes out a second mortgage to start a business. Another thinks that ... MORERonald Bailey: Obama Losing The Keystone Pipeline Battle
Between an environmentalist rock and a labor hard place. The Keystone XL pipeline is roiling U.S. electoral politics again. TransCanada refiled its application for a permit to build the pipeline with the State Department last week. Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has vowed, “I will build that pipeline if I have to do it ... MOREAaron Goldstein: Obama Targets The Tea Party
In his view it's supposed to be dead. The Obama 2012 campaign is in full gear and playing from the Saul Alinsky playbook that has served it so well. You know the drill. Pick a target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it. Obama's re-election team has set it sights on the Tea Party. Of course, it's not the first time the Tea Party has been in Team ... MORE
