$56.6 billion in compliance costs imposed since Jan 1. According to conventional progressive wisdom, regulation is the means by
which a compassionate government protects the weak and innocent
from the strong and malevolent. Try telling that to Brad Jones. Jones is one of the owners of Buckingham Slate, a Virginia business a little
over an hour’s drive ... MOREObamaCare Drops Full-Time Employment

Blood is staining the globe. Not the blood of terrorists (enemies of
America), but the blood of innocent Americans. We cannot resuscitate our
loved ones. We can only attempt to clean President Obama’s bloodstains
by removing him—and all who think like him—from public office. There is no need to “judge” Obama’s heart to realize that he is unfit to
lead; ... MORE
Thomas Sowell - Waiving Freedom

Amendment to the Constitution provides for "equal protection of the
laws" for all Americans. To have a law ... MOREFred Barnes: Why Romney Will Win
Let us count the reasons Mitt Romney will win. The tie in the polls goes to the challenger. Here’s why: Enthusiasm. It matters enormously, and it’s
disproportionately on the Republican side, in good measure because of an
intense desire to defeat President Obama. True, enthusiasm doesn’t
guarantee an edge in turnout, but it’s ... MOREOnkar Ghate: A Liberal Ayn Rand?
Maybe liberals should think a little more long term. It's no secret that the right is awash in Ayn Rand. Tea Partiers
carry signs like "Who is John Galt?" and, astonishing for a novel
published 55 years ago, sales of Atlas Shrugged topped 445,000 last year. All of this has prompted researchers like Yale historian Beverly Gage to wonder, "Why is there no liberal ... MOREVIDEO: Policing For Profit - Civil Forfeiture Laws

Walter E Williams: Our Deviant Society
Watch out for falling standards. Here's one usage of the term gentleman: The gentleman helped the fallen lady to her feet.

Sheldon Richman: Life Without FEMA?
There is a better way. Advocates of big government never miss a chance to capitalize on a natural disaster. Even before the storm has passed, they will boast that without activist government, recovery would be impossible.
