Anthony Gregory: The Indecency Of The FCC
Authorities overriding freedom of expression and speech. The Supreme Court this week heard oral arguments in FCC v. Fox. In this important first amendment case, the Judges will determine whether to enact significant limitations to the Federal Communication Commission’s power to censor the airwaves. The proximate issue concerns FCC’s ... MOREGary Johnson: It's Time To End The War On Drugs
The most basic property right is self-ownership. As President I will stop one of the biggest wastes and frauds ever perpetrated on the American people – the trillion dollar war on drugs. While falsely promising us a safer, more sober society, the war on drugs is bankrupting our state and local coffers and costs the Federal government $15 billion dollars per year. That’s five ... MORE
Andrew Canfield: Going For Individual Liberty
Because Washington creates more problems than it solves. This Republican primary season has proven quite promising for believers in governmental restraint. The landscape appeared bleak for conservatives alienated by the cable news partisanship and tiresome talk radio echo chamber. It was safe to assume America was set for another bland ... MOREInvestors Business Daily: Fed Looks To Print More Money
More Fed meddling won't help. The media have busied themselves with touting the big economic rebound they see brewing in the U.S. We hope they're right. But if they are, why is the Federal Reserve getting ready to print even more money? The media argument goes like this: After years of struggling, the economy is finally churning out jobs. Last month ... MORESheldon Richman: Opposing Imperialism Is Not Isolationism
What Ron Paul's critics refuse to admit. When pundits and rival politicians call Ron Paul an “isolationist,” they mislead the American people—and they know it. They know it? How could they not: Ron Paul is for unilateral, unconditional free trade. He believes any American should be perfectly free to buy from or sell to any person in the world. In that ... MOREJames A. Bacon: Victimhood Has Its Privileges
The quest of Obama's justice department. The U.S. Justice Department is ever-vigilant against signs of “voter suppression” these days, most recently blocking - on the grounds that it would hurt blacks - a South Carolina law that would require voter identification. But the voting rights of some minorities, it appears, are more worth protecting than ... MORE
RT: New Act Allows Government To Strip Citizenship
Ever expanding government powers. When Barack Obama inked the National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve, the president insisted that he wouldn’t use the terrifying legislation against American citizens. Another new law, however, could easily change all of that. If the Enemy Expatriation Act passes in its current form, the legislation ... MORE

Socratic interviewer Jan Helfeld exposes the irrationality of a liberal icon.
Michael Barone: Obama Thumbs Nose At Founders
An election on the Founders' vision? Of course President Obama is not concentrating on campaigning, White House press spokesmen assured us — as the president headed off to Chicago for three fundraisers and a drop-in at his campaign headquarters, two days after a high-roller fundraising choked off traffic five blocks from the White House, with the assistance of ... MOREKatie Kieffer: Capitalism (That's What I Want)
Bullies rule society when need is the basis of morality. The Beatles once rocked America with their cover version of “Money (That’s What I Want).” Today, I’ll rock you with my version. Capitalism don't get everything it's true. What it don't get I can't use. Now gimme capitalism (that's what I want). Anti-capitalist sentiment is creeping into American culture ... MOREMicheal Snyder: The American Economic Recovery Is A Lie
24 stats say America's economic future is not bright. Beware of bubbles of false hope. Right now there is a lot of talk about how the U.S. economy is improving, but it is all a lie. The mainstream media can be very seductive. When you sit down to watch television your brain tends to go into a very relaxed mode. In such a state, it becomes easy to slip ... MOREWilliam Tucker: The Ultimate Individual Mandate
Fines dished out for failing to buy the nonexistent. Peering ahead at the worst possible outcomes of Obamacare five years from now, imagine that individuals were being fined by the Department of Health and Human Services for failing to buy health insurance -- even though insurance companies have withdrawn from the market and aren't offering it ...
