by Jacob Horneberger. While big government statists in both the Republican and Democrat parties remain mystified over Ron Paul's surge in the polls in Iowa, the ones who seem most confounded by this phenomenon are members of the mainstream media, who themselves are statist to the core. They just can't figure out how it's possible that increasing numbers of ... MOREWhy Ron Paul's Surge Is Making Them Nervous

Congress, not China, is causing our unemployment. Republicans and Democrats, liberals as well as conservatives, have bought into anti-Chinese trade demagoguery. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested that tariffs against China are a "key part of our 'Make It in America' agenda." During his 2010 campaign, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Restraining Orders
Unconstitutional restrictions on our freedom to travel. Steve Bierfeldt, director of development for Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty, thought he was having a good day. At a regional Campaign for Liberty event in Missouri, Bierfeldt had sold thousands of dollars worth of conference tickets, bumper stickers, T-shirts, and books, and was now in the security line at ... MOREFeds Want Medical Marijuana Patients To Lose Rights
AFT wants to prohibit patients from protecting themselves. If you are a medical marijuana patient in one of the 16 states (plus the District of Columbia) that allow for it, you’ve got reason to believe lately that the government has it in for you. You’ve got federal raids on the places where you can conveniently buy your medicine, the governor of Arizona ... MOREJeb Bush: Capitalism And The Right To Rise
The risk of failure vs. the certainty of stagnation. Congressman Paul Ryan recently coined a smart phrase to describe the core concept of economic freedom: "The right to rise." Think about it. We talk about the right to free speech, the right to bear arms, the right to assembly. The right to rise doesn't seem like something we should have to protect. But we do. ... MOREAFP: Attorney General Holder Tied To OKC Bombers
He provided the explosives to Nichols and McVeigh. Eric Holder, current attorney general of the United States, managed an FBI operation that provided explosives to Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols just prior to the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, according to official documents released during the ongoing ... MOREDavid Hogberg: Walter Williams For Christmas
His autobiography is a great American story. "Racial discriminatory preferences do not explain all they are purported to explain" is the central theme in economist Walter Williams' new book, Race and Economics: How Much Can Be Blamed on Discrimination? That's not surprising to anyone familiar with Williams' work. However, it is somewhat puzzling given his background ... MOREWayne Allyn Root: Obama's New Math Is A Job Killer
President must have missed class on subtraction. President Obama’s math skills leave something to be desired. As a matter of fact, based on Mr. Obama’s recent interview on “60 Minutes,” the president deserves a grade of F in math. When confronted by the reporter with the reality that his economic stimulus package failed, he decided to lie to the American ... MOREJacob G. Hornberger: Vision Of A Free Society
The answers that freedom provides. If we abolish public schooling, then how will the poor be educated? If drug laws are repealed, won't everyone go on drugs? If Social Security is abolished, won't old people starve to death? If we don't have Medicare and Medicaid, how would anyone afford decent medical care? If we don't have licensing, won't quacks be performing heart ... MORENick Bilton: iPads For Me, But Not For Ye
FAA gives pilots thumbs up, passengers thumbs down. The Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday that pilots on American Airlines flights would be allowed to use iPads instead of paper flight manuals in the cockpit starting Friday, as reported by ZDNet, even during takeoff and landing. But passengers are still required to shut down anything with ... MOREVIDEO: Ayn Rand - Entitlements Are Not Rights
People are not born with a claim on the production of others.
Damon W. Root: The EPA Vs. The Constitution
High Court prepares to hear major 5th Amendment case. The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution declares that no person shall be “deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” This means that if the government infringes on your rights, you are entitled to mount a timely and meaningful defense of those rights in court. It’s one of the ... MOREJerry Hirsch: California Launches War Against Oil Changes
Legislative nannies gone wild. Many automobile owners are spending more than they need on motor oil, believing that it should be changed every 3,000 miles even though almost no manufacturer requires such an aggressive oil-change schedule. The long-held notion that the oil should be changed every 3,000 miles is so prevalent that California officials have launched a ... MOREWSJ Editorial: Regulation For Dummies
Obama's regulatory surge has hamstrung the economy. The White House is on the political offensive, and one of its chief claims is that it isn't the overregulator of business and Republican lore. This line has been picked up by impressionable columnists, so it's a good time to consider the evidence in some detail. Jan Eberly, an Assistant Treasury Secretary, kicked ... MORE
