Thomas Bowden: The Joy Of Football
A celebration of skill, dedication and pursuit of success. As half the nation eagerly awaits the kickoff of the Super Bowl, the other half looks on in wonderment at what could be so enthralling about grown men running up and down a field carrying an oblong ball. Football fans who cannot articulate why they feel such passion for the game may retreat to ... MOREAndrew C. McCarthy: The Myth Of GOP Stinginess
Republicans fill the tank as Obama drives off cliff. Mitch McConnell wanted you to know he was livid on Thursday. The Senate was about to Greece the wheels for adding yet another trillion and change to President Obama’s yet-again tapped-out credit card. “More spending, more debt,” brayed the minority leader. “That’s what we’ve gotten from ... MORESam Chaltain: Require Kids To Stay In School? Not So Fast
Obama's simplistic notion about drop-outs. Anytime you hear government officials mandating new behaviors to a broad swath of the population, that mandate is likely to run afoul of the First Amendment. And so it is with President Obama’s announcement in his 2012 State of the Union address on Tuesday night that all states should “require that all ... MOREWalter E Williams: Obama's Racial Politics
Aided and abetted by a dishonest media. There's been a heap of criticism placed upon President Barack Obama's domestic policies that have promoted government intrusion and prolonged our fiscal crisis and his foreign policies that have emboldened our enemies. Any criticism of Obama pales in comparison with what might be said about the American ... MORETom Giovanetti: IRS Wants To File Your Taxes For You
The ultimate goal of the revenue establishment. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. It wants to ease your mind about compliance with the tax code and make April 15 as stress-free as possible. Sound too good to be true? Of course it is. Their real goal is to extract more tax dollars out of your pocket without having ... MORE
Sheldon Richman: Obama's Bogus Case For Tax Fairness
Calling something just does not make it so. In his State of the Union speech Tuesday night President Obama played the fairness card in calling for higher taxes on upper-income people. He said: [W]e need to change our tax code so that people like me, and an awful lot of Members of Congress, pay our fair share of taxes. Tax reform should follow the Buffett rule: If you ... MOREKatie Kieffer: Why States May Legalize Drugs
People own themselves. I believe that states have the constitutional right to legalize drugs. For, the Constitution is silent on the federal government’s ability to regulate or ban substances that adults choose to digest at their own peril—or medical relief. The Constitution is so silent on this matter of individual liberty (choosing to digest or use drugs) that ... MORE
William Yeatman: Another One Bites The Dust!
Another green energy stimulus recipient, that is. Earlier this week, Stimulus beneficiary Evergreen Energy bit the dust. Then, Ener1, a manufacturer of batteries for electric vehicles and recipient of Stimulus largesse, filed for bankruptcy. And today, the Las Vegas Sun reports that Amonix, Inc., a manufacturer of solar panels that received ... MOREThomas Lifson: Something Is Rotten At Reuters
An incompetent news service or a propaganda tool? The Reuters news service once again has made itself a laughingstock by publishing a mistake-riddled hit piece on Marco Rubio, all but ruling him out as a vice presidential nominee for the GOP because of alleged financial problems, many of which turned out to be untrue. Five corrections were necessary. ... MOREWSJ Editorial: No Need To Panic About Global Warming
No compelling scientific argument for drastic action. Editor's Note: The following has been signed by the 16 scientists listed at the end of the article: A candidate for public office in any contemporary democracy may have to consider what, if anything, to do about "global warming." Candidates should understand that the oft-repeated claim that nearly all ... MOREP. J. O'Rourke: They Hate Poor People
The liberals' dirty little secret. On January 1, 2012, Maine became the first state to ban smoking in all low-income public housing. Twelve thousand poor people faced their New Year’s Day hangover without the solace of a Marlboro to accompany their aspirin and coffee. This, of course, was good. Just ask the high-minded, right-thinking progressive elites who, it’s ... MOREJohn Merline: Obama Doing Good Job Creating Dependents
Create a dependent and you have a constituant. If the Republican primaries are any indication, one big debate in the upcoming election will be whether President Obama is pushing the country into becoming a European-style welfare culture. Mitt Romney, for example, argues that "over the past three years, Barack Obama has been replacing our merit-based ... MORE
