MOREJohn Stossel: Electing Liberty
Yearning to live as a free man. I watch election results to gauge whether America has become freer or more tyrannical. It's hard to know whether Tuesday's results will make much difference.

MOREThomas Sowell: Voter Fraud And Voter I.D.

MORETammy Bruce: How Democrats Broke The Spirit Of America
Jobs, ISIS, Ebola and Obamacare. These four words explain why Democrats have lost the confidence of the American people: jobs, ISIS, Ebola and Obamacare.

far short of the cannabis catastrophe predicted by
prohibitionists. The legal industry is ... MOREWalter E Williams: Scholar-Athlete Charade
