Patriot-News: What Separates Ron Paul From The Pack
Only Paul seeks to minimize the role of the state. At a recent GOP debate, the presidential candidates were asked what they would be doing on a Saturday night if they weren’t running for president. The responses were typically safe and predictable, mostly having to do with watching sports, but one brave soul said he would be reading an economics textbook. ... MORERachael Williams: In Defense Of Libertarians
A truly limited government is not extremism. Throughout the primary election season there's been a group unfairly villainized by the rest of the Republicans. Not the establishment (they can't be villianized enough for giving us McCain and trying to keep folks like Rand Paul from getting elected in 2010) -- I mean libertarians. Republicans like to villainize libertarians ... MOREJennifer Lynch: Are Drones Watching You?
Drones catching on as new police state tool. Today, EFF filed suit against the Federal Aviation Administration seeking information on drone flights in the United States. The FAA is the sole entity within the federal government capable of authorizing domestic drone flights, and for too long now, it has failed to release specific and detailed information on .. MORECharles Hurt: Obama's Naked Thuggery
Liberals getting high on the elixir of power. After all these years it took a great constitutional scholar who had spent a life cloistered in academia and street work to utterly rape our most cherished Constitution. This business of bypassing the Senate to pick “recess” appointments to positions most Americans have never heard of may ... MOREDavid Harsanyi: The GOP's Creative Destruction
Venture socialism is empathetic. Venture Capitalism is useful. Yes, it's true that unlike some Republicans, Democrats don't "enjoy firing people." They enjoy "investing" your money in exploding electric vehicles, bullet trains, and other highly unprofitable but morally satisfying economic misadventures. Venture socialism is certainly empathetic. ... MOREVIDEO: A Version Of Mitt For Everyone
Two reasons to pick Ron Paul. We know who Gingrich is. We don't know Romney.
Washington Times: The Free Market's New Frontier
America’s adventuresome spirit is not dead yet. President Obama, the naysayer in chief, may have grounded NASA’s government-issued astronauts, but space entrepreneurs are making plans to tank up and take off on their own. Last month, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen announced he is investing $200 million of his own fortune in a startup space ... MOREJonah Goldberg: Romney's Authenticity Problem
Enthusiasm for the GOP frontrunner is lacking. Mitt Romney is the most improbable of presidential candidates: a weak juggernaut. He is poised to sweep every primary contest — a first for a non-incumbent. And yet, in Republican ranks there’s an abiding sense that he should be beatable — and beaten. It’s not that Romney doesn’t have fans. His events in New ... MOREVIDEO: The Demonization Of Capitalism
A concern citizen speaks out on the widespread ignorance about capitalism.
Christopher Chantrill: Bad News On Unemployment
The labor force is not growing. Conservatives are anxious to see bad news in the drop in the headline unemployment rate to 8.5 percent. Yes, it's fabulous that employment is finally turning upwards, but the labor force isn't expanding as it should in a healthy recovery. The following two charts using data from the Household Survey from the Bureau of Labor Statistics ... MOREJohn Stossel: Champions Of Freedom
Who will fight for individual liberty? It's election season, and so once again people look for heroes. Is Ron Paul one? Maybe. He's fought a long, lonely battle to limit the power of government. As government grows, I yearn for champions of freedom who fight back. Rep. Paul has done that. But it's a mistake to look for heroes in politics. It's too ugly a business. My ... MORERoger L. Simon: Ron Paul Defends Romney & Capitalism
Texas congressman is a rare breed: politically honest. I admit I have been critical of Ron Paul in the past, and still am regarding foreign policy, but I admire his forthright honesty in defense of Mitt Romney today. That’s a rare thing for a politician, particularly in the thick of the fight, but Paul seems to be a man who means what he says, good, bad or ... MOREA. Barton Hinkle: Rationing Speech To Minimize Thought
Why liberals favor campaign season censorship. Liberals are nearly united against Citizens United. This means they are nearly united in favor of censorship. But that has not stopped the Supreme Court decision from being roundly denounced by everyone with progressive DNA – from the elderly solons at The New York Times to the youthful idealists of ... MORE
