by John F. McManus. More intensely than almost any other nation, we Americans are dependent on energy — to run businesses, heat and light homes and buildings, power the many forms of transportation we frequently take for granted, and more. Worry over recent years that the world is running out of energy, especially the sources known ... MOREWilliam Tucker: Press Goes Crackers Over Fracking
Latest in the smear campaign against fracking. If you want to see how the press acts like a bunch of hysterical ninnies, just look at the way an article in Science about earthquakes and underground wastewater storage pools has been distorted into a national alarm about fracking. By the time you read this, you will have already read the headline ... MOREThe Ethics Of Sacrifice, The Politics Of Slavery
by Boyd Richard Boyd. Bad political ideas come from bad ethical ideas, which are originally spread by the words of bad philosophers. Progressives and their Utopian counterparts throughout history have pushed a corrupt and inverted morality on the world, causing man to act as his own destroyer. It is from an ... MORESteven Greenhut: Journalism Is An Act, Not A Profession
Great journalism can come from average citizens. Watching some recent debates about who is a “real journalist” and who isn’t has been a source of amusement for me given that being a real journalist has not always been that great of an honor. When I told Mom I was getting a job in journalism, she was miffed that her son would waste ... MORERoger L. Simon: Obama Big Loser In Zimmerman Trial
No accident race relations are going backwards. Forget the over-zealous prosecutors and the repellent state attorney Angela Corey (who should be immediately disbarred or, my wife said sarcastically, elevated to director of Homeland Security) and even the unfortunate Trayvon Martin family (although it is certainly hard to forget ... MOREPhil Gramm Ignores Fair Tax, Offers Plan For GOP Decline
by Louis Woodhill. The July 10 edition of The Wall Street Journal contained an op-ed
by former Texas Senator Phil Gramm entitled, “A GOP Game Plan for Tax
Reform”. Unfortunately, his article could be more accurately named, “A
GOP Game Plan for Losing the Next Two Elections.” Senator Gramm is a great guy who has made important ... MOREJohn Ransom: Chevy Volt Heads For Fiery Crash
Another failure of central planning. The good news for GM these days is that no one has been consumed in a fiery death due to engine compartment fires since the Chevy Volt was discovered to spontaneous combust after accidents shortly after production began. The bad news for the company is that while Chevy Volt sales in ... MOREObama Siezes Control Of All American Communications
In the name of security, of course. President Barack Obama quietly signed his name to an Executive Order on Friday, allowing the White House to control all private communications in the country in the name of national security. President Obama released his latest Executive Order on Friday, July 5, a 2,205-word statement offered ... MORE
Tax Dollars Spent To Organize Anti-Zimmerman Rallies
Look what Judicial Watch happened to find. A conservative watchdog group accused the Justice Department of helping manage the "pressure campaign" last year against George Zimmerman in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting, citing documents that show an obscure agency spent thousands assisting local demonstrations. The ... MOREVictor Davis Hanson: Hate Thought
Self-appointed liberal referees will decide. When do insensitive words destroy reputations? It all depends. Celebrity chef Paula Deen was dropped by her TV network, her publisher and many of her corporate partners after she testified in a legal deposition that she used the N-word some 30 years ago. The deposition was filed in a lawsuit against ... MOREJohn Stossel - Overseas Meddling
You pay taxes? You contributed to the $2 billion your government gave Egypt this year. And last year. And every year — for 30 years. Most of it went to Egypt's military. How's that worked out? Now our government will "cautiously" support anti-government rebels in Syria, even though some are openly allied with al-Qaida. Years before, we paid to ... MORE
