monitored and shared with government bureaucrats. When clicking “let’s get started” on the state-run health insurance marketplace “kynect,” the user is quickly prompted ... MOREBarry Farber: America Has 'Tea-Kettled'
Is America on Candid Camera? Once I read an article about a tribe in Africa that had an interesting custom. At tribal meetings a person could talk for as long as – and only for as long as – he could stand on one foot. How strange! How foreign! How primitive! Right? Sen. Ted Cruz and Jimmy Stewart (in “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington”) would ... MOREAndrew Kloster: Help! The Government Took My Property
Welcome to the world of “civil asset forfeiture". What if government officials took your property and told you that

to escape ... MOREWelcome To The Era Of Unlimited Government

The mantra of the moment is, “Of course I ... MOREBrian Wilson: Revenge Rape And The First Amendment
Liberty requires responsibility. Long dead English playwright William Congreve penned the famous (paraphrased) line: “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” Thanks to today’s cell phone technology and wandering morals, we will see if the First Amendment’s “free speech” will withstand the latest furious onslaught from one Holly Jacobs ...

by Andrew Napolitano. While the nation's political class has been fixated on a potential government shutdown in Washington this week, the NSA has continued to spy on all Americans and by its ambiguity and shrewd silence seems to be acknowledging slowly that the scope of its spying is truly breathtaking. The Obama administration is of the ... MOREWilliam Ridenour: A Secession Thought Experiment

MORENeed Health Care Coverage? Just Dial 1-800-FUCKYO
Transparency at last. Need health insurance? The Obama administration has you covered. Simply dial 1-800-FUCKYO to reach the next available health-care provider.

Proof that blind squirrels find nuts once in a while. Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed a statewide ban on indefinite detentions into law Tuesday, prohibiting compliance with provisions of federal law. After receiving overwhelming bipartisan support in the California
