Walter E Williams: What You Can't Say
Don't attempt to explain slavery to children. Jon Hubbard, a Republican member of the Arkansas House of Representatives, has a book, titled "Letters to the Editor: Confessions of a Frustrated Conservative." Among its statements for which Hubbard has been criticized and disavowed by the Republican Party is, "The institution of slavery that the ... MOREThomas Sowell: Libya And Lies
No profile in courage here. It was a little much when President Barack Obama said that he was
"offended" by the suggestion that his administration would try to
deceive the public about what happened in Benghazi. What has this man
not deceived the public about? Remember his pledge to cut the
deficit in half in his first term in office? This was followed by the ... MORERon Paul: The Internet Revolution Is A Liberty Revolution
LibertyPen is just one of the cogs. Until the late 1990s, individuals interested in Austrian economics, U.S. constitutional history, and libertarian philosophy had few sources of information. They had to spend hours scouring used book stores or the back pages of obscure libertarian periodicals to find the great works of Mises, Rothbard, Hayek, and other giants ... MOREMarijuana Legalization Leads In Washington And Colorado
by Jonathan Martin. Washington is emerging as the most likely state to be the first to legalize marijuana according to new polls. But even with a huge fundraising advantage, and less organized opposition, Initiative 502 is far from a lock as voters begin casting ballots. A poll released today by Strategies 360 finds a 54-to-38 lead for I-502, with about 7 percent ... MOREGovernment Displays Contempt For The Will Of The People
"Public servants" will dictate pot policy despite voters. A top Justice Department official has told "60 Minutes" the federal
government is ready to combat any "dangers" of state-sanctioned
recreational pot, amid criticism of the Obama administration for its
relative silence on legalization drives in three states. Voters in Colorado, Washington state and ... MORESteven Milloy: The EPA's Illegal Human Experiments
Agency failed to warn tests potentially lethal. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been sued in federal court for allegedly conducting illegal experiments on human beings. The case tests whether a government agency can violate the law and the most sacrosanct ethics of scientific research — and get away scot-free. ... MOREPsst, Taxes Will Go Up For 163 Million Workers in 2013
President Barack Obama isn't talking about it and neither is Mitt Romney. But come January, 163 million workers can expect to feel the pinch of a big tax increase regardless of who wins the election. A temporary reduction in Social Security payroll taxes is due to expire at the end of the year and hardly anyone in Washington is pushing ... MOREJohn W. Whitehead: Smile, The Government Is Watching
Next generation identification. “You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement was scrutinized.”—George Orwell, 1984. Brace yourselves for the next wave in the surveillance state’s steady incursions into our lives. It’s ... MOREIlana Freedman: Chavez, Castro and Putin Agree: Obama!
In the birds of a feather department .... The latest [dictator] to publicly announce his support for the
commander-in-chief’s reelection bid was Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, who
this week assured he’d vote for Obama if he were from the United States.
The America-bashing strongman made the announcement on state-owned
television, saying “Obama is a ... MOREDeborah Weiss: The War Against Free Speech Rages On
The president should defend American principles. The Obama administration conveniently scapegoated a short, anti-Islam video for the murderous attacks on the US consulate on September 11, 2012. Now that the State Department has confessed its knowledge that Benghazi was the result of a pre-planned terrorist attack, many in both the mainstream ... MOREKatie Kieffer: Eliminate The TSA
What if we wanted to return to the Constitution? I’m reading the Constitution and I do not see a “Grope or Scan” clause. The TSA is unconstitutional. Let’s eliminate the TSA. If you read my columns regularly, you know that I consider the TSA to be a carcinogenic petting zoo.
I nearly always opt out. I object to the scanners on principle of their ... MORE
