It's about mind, reality and ethics. Associated Press and FoxNews.com reports: Medical supply giant Stryker is the latest company to announce job cuts in anticipation of coming costs associated with Obamacare, even though the man who inherited a fortune from the company’s founder is a fan. The company will cut 1,170 jobs, or ... MOREMichael J. Hurd: Magical Thinking Won't Stop The Layoffs
It's about mind, reality and ethics. Associated Press and FoxNews.com reports: Medical supply giant Stryker is the latest company to announce job cuts in anticipation of coming costs associated with Obamacare, even though the man who inherited a fortune from the company’s founder is a fan.

A positive appraisal. I'm going to make a bold prediction. America's War on Drugs is now officially over. Oh, no one in Washington is going to make any sort of announcement to confirm this but take it from me -- our four-decades-old drug war strategy is now formally kaput. To be entirely honest, it has been sputtering along for years now accomplishing little and ... MOREPaul Driessen: Global Warming Hysteria Will Kill Jobs
Fracking myths threaten U.S. economy. Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have boosted shale gas production from zero a few years ago to 10 percent of all U.S. energy supplies in 2012, observes energy analyst Daniel Yergin. It has increased U.S. oil production 25 percent since 2008 despite more federal land and resource withdrawals, ... MOREThomas Sowell: Hotels And Hassles
Few things can make you appreciate home like a hotel.
This includes not only low-budget, bare bones hotels but also sweepingly
large and ornate luxury hotels. What many hotels seem to have in
common are needless hassles. Since most people who stay in hotels do so while traveling, and stay
only a few days in a given hotel, you might ... MOREMark Mitchell: Is The TSA Killing Us?
More take to the dangerous roads to avoid TSA hassle. As we enter into the busiest travel time of the year, long lines at airport security are among the many peeves travelers will encounter. Some who seek to avoid the inconvenience of air travel will pack up their cars and hit the road. According to AAA, more Americans will be traveling ... MOREThomas Sowell - Killing The Goose
Incentives for destruction. Killing the goose that lays the golden egg is one of those old fairy
tales for children which has a heavy message that a lot of adults should
listen to. The labor unions which have driven the makers of Twinkies
into bankruptcy, potentially destroying 18,500 jobs, could have learned
a lot from that old children's fairy tale. ... MOREState By State, A Nullification Domino Effect
by Joel Poindexter. Throughout the Cold War, the prevailing fear of United States government was the domino effect. Simply put, if even one country fell to communism, it could start a chain reaction that would quickly consume the remainder of the free world in a totalitarian dragnet. This led to a doctrine of containment, wherein the U.S. government would ... MOREVeronique De Rugy: Republicans Are Military Keynesians
When it's defense, Republicans believe in spending. In September, Mitt Romney launched a series of TV commercials promising to protect and create jobs by preventing the military spending cuts mandated in a bipartisan 2011 deficit reduction agreement. “Here in Virginia,” one ad says, “we’re not better off under President Obama. His defense ... MOREWalter E Williams - Democracy And Majority Rule
Constitutional ignorance exploited. President Barack Obama narrowly defeated Gov. Mitt Romney in the popular vote 51 percent to 48 percent. In the all-important Electoral College, the difference was larger, with Obama winning 303 electoral votes and Romney 206. Let's not think so much about the election's outcome but instead ask: What's so good about democracy ... MOREWarren Beatty: Why The Secession Petitions?
The states are not so united. President Barack Hussein Obama is not the first president to be faced with secession. The most famous secession that resulted in the Civil War was, first and foremost, about economics. Today we are witnessing the same reason cited for the various secession petitions -- economics. Derrick Belcher, who started the Alabama secession ... MOREMarlo Lewis: The EPA vs. State Economies
Driving up the price of corn. On Friday, the Environmental Protection Agency rejected petitions from the governors of Georgia, Texas, Arkansas, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, and North Carolina to suspend the biofuel-blending requirements established by the federal renewable fuel standard (RFS) program. This program requires refiners to blend increasing ... MOREGary North: An Anomaly In American History
Ron Paul's farewell address. On Wednesday, November 14, Ron Paul delivered his final speech at the podium of the United States House of Representatives. It was covered by C-SPAN live, and was later posted on C-SPAN's site. It was soon posted on YouTube, and from there was posted on numerous sites. Within hours, various media outlets began to ... MORED.J. Garth: The Secession Obsession
Why so many are more than hoping for change. As of the 13th of November, there are 70,983 signatures on a petition asking the Obama administration to allow Texas to peacefully secede from the union. For an updated tally, you can check the We the People page of the White House website. Personally, I don't quite think it is sane to be talking ... MOREDavid Catron: The States Last Stand Against ObamaCare
Battling a lawless federal government. Last July, I wrote that the states still had the power to kill Obamacare, despite the Supreme Court's gross dereliction of duty in Florida v. HHS. My point was that the insurance exchanges required by PPACA are the key to its success or failure, and that the law grants the states enormous power in the way they are ... MORE
