Turn The Police State Against Itself For Better Government

by Robert Taylor.      With the exponential growth of an incredibly intrusive surveillance state threatening to virtually destroy the Bill of Rights and the privacy of millions of Americans, the possibility of repealing or severely scaling back a federalized Big Brother in the United States seems remote. The technology at the state's fingertips,   ... MORE

Feds Patented Medical Marijuana -- While Fighting It

They acknowledged medical benefits a decade ago.      On Oct. 7, 2003, the US government issued Patent No. 6,630,507. Actor Michael J. Fox and many millions of other Americans — my dear late wife, Tricia, included — could have gotten very excited about this development back then. But it was, apparently, not the sort of thing Washington  ... MORE

Obama Doctrine: He Could Attack Over Climate Change

by Ernest Istook.      The emerging Obama Doctrine justifies attacking nations that violate “international norms,” as judged solely by the president.  Based on statements by President Obama and key players, he could even launch attacks against those he blames for global climate change.

Andrew Napolitano: The President's Embarrassment

Figleaf justifying war falls to the ground.      When Secretary of State John Kerry, apparently irritated by a lack of sleep, gave a snippy and what he thought was an unrealistic reply to a reporter's question at a London press conference last weekend, he hardly could have imagined the world's response. Asked whether there is anything Syrian   ... MORE

John Stossel: Road To Damascus

Defense should not mean offense.     Some things you just have to do, in spite of great uncertainty. Launching missiles at Syria isn't one of them. Many pundits talk about going to war as if all we have to do is make up our minds about what "ought" to happen — who the bad guys are — and the rest is just details. If we decide we must punish a tyrant,    ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: Syria And Obama

Glib words and weak actions.      I cannot see why even a single American, a single Israeli or a single Syrian civilian should be killed as a result of a token U.S. military action, undertaken simply to spare Barack Obama the embarrassment of doing nothing, after his ill-advised public ultimatum to the Syrian government to not use chemical      ...

Walter E Williams: You Don't Have To Stay Poor

Come early, stay late.       No one can blame you if you start out in life poor, because how you start is not your fault. If you stay poor, you're to blame because it is your fault. Nowhere has this been made clearer than in Dennis Kimbro's new book, "The Wealth Choice: Success Secrets of Black Millionaires." Kimbro, a business professor at Clark        ... MORE
