Sorry Global Warming Alarmists, The Earth Is Cooling
by Peter Ferrara. Climate change itself is already in the process of definitively rebutting climate alarmists who think human use of fossil fuels is causing ultimately catastrophic global warming. That is because natural climate cycles have already turned from warming to cooling, global temperatures have already been declining for more than 10 years ... MOREPhyllis Schlafly: Obama Lunges Toward Global Government
His second term could take us over the cliff. One of the biggest issues in the November election is whether we will continue or stop President Obama's move toward restricting U.S. sovereignty and rushing down the road to global governance. One would think that the obvious failure of the European Union and disdain for the euro would put ... MOREThomas Kaplan: Plan To Limit Marijuana Arrests In NYC
A grain of sanity infiltrates the big apple. The New York Police Department, the mayor and the city’s top prosecutors on Monday endorsed a proposal to decriminalize the open possession of small amounts of marijuana, giving an unexpected lift to an effort by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to cut down on the number of people arrested ... MOREAustin Hill: The Immorality Of Obamanomics
“I only care about the moral issues." If I’ve heard that phrase once, then I’ve heard it a few hundred times. It’s a common response among social conservatives during campaigns and election cycles. And this year, as Washington compromises our nation’s future with profligate spending and economic turmoil threatens nations abroad, we need to add to that ... MOREVouchers Produce 'Savings' For Local Indiana Schools
from The Star Press. Indiana's much-criticized school voucher program is nearing the conclusion of its first year. With about 4,000 students participating statewide, furor arose over most of those students enrolling in church-based schools at public expense. The issue of giving tax dollars to parents who then choose a school has survived one legal ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: Playing With Words
Misleading political redefinitions. Would anyone work to support themselves or their families — and then turn over a chunk of that hard-earned money to somebody else, just because of the words used by that somebody else? A few people may be taken in by the words of con men, here and there, but the larger tragedy is that millions more are taken in ... MOREWalter E Willliams: Immoral Beyond Redemption
Perhaps we are debating the wrong issue? Benjamin Franklin, statesman and signer of our Declaration of Independence, said: "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." John Adams, another signer, echoed a similar statement: "Our Constitution was made only ... MORECathy Young: Is There Really A War On Women?
Gender-based political correctness is all too common. Dueling charges of misogyny from the left and the right have become a depressingly regular media circus—one that, regardless of the real issues, is mostly about moral posturing and political point-scoring. Worse, both sides are feeding a toxic obsession with women-as-victims and promoting a sexism of ... MORESmoking Ban Turns Personal Freedom To Ashes
from the Auburn Plainsman editorial board. Whenever the issue of a smoking ban comes up, whether it be for a college campus or an entire city, both sides get loud and angry. Auburn's new smoking ban, which doesn’t take affect until the 2012 fall semester, is source of contention for us. We actually agree with both sides of the argument on most of their talking ... MOREDeroy Murdock: Red Tape Costs US 700,000 Jobs
Business environment continues to deteriorate. Federal regulators are keeping America from moving forward. According to recent news stories reviewed by my colleagues at the conservative nonprofit organization Engage America, federal red tape has squelched at least 736,203 potential jobs. If these positions were filled, today's ... MOREJohn Ransom: Darrell Issa's Discovery Summer
Shining light in dark places. With the presidential campaign in full gear, expect Darrell Issa (R-CA), chairman of the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform to expand his public probe of the Obama administration’s green crony program that included risky loans to below-investment-grade companies like now-bankrupt Solyndra. The ... MORE
