It is clear which of the three do society the most damage.
Kevin D. Williamson: Detroit - The Moral Of The Story
Lessons among the ruins. The Left’s answer to the deficit: raise taxes to protect spending. The Left’s answer to the weak economy: raise taxes to enable new spending. The Left’s answer to the looming sovereign-debt crisis: raise taxes to pay off old spending. For the Left, every deficit is a revenue-side problem, not a spending-side problem, and the ... MORECharles C. Johnson: Ray Bradbury - Enemy Of The State
Remembering the late science fiction writer. Ray Bradbury won’t “live forever,” as he wished, but he may well live on as the most-read critic of the state in America’s public schools. It was in public school that I first encountered Bradbury’s magnum opus, Fahrenheit 451, which is required reading in the government schools that made him shutter. ... MORENullification: What Is It Good For? Absolutely Everything!
by Diane Rufino. Nullification is a term introduced by Thomas Jefferson in 1798 when he drafted the Kentucky Resolves to articulate the reason for the state to oppose an unconstitutional federal law - the Alien and Sedition Acts. Nullification begins with the central premise that a federal law that violates the Constitution is no law at all. It is void and has no ... MORESteve Chapman: The Myth Of Unfair Paychecks
A difference in pay does not prove discrimination. As any debater knows, defining the issue is a major part of the battle. On Tuesday, Democrats failed to persuade the Senate to approve the Paycheck Fairness Act. What are we to conclude from that outcome? That paychecks will be unfair, to the detriment of America's working ... MOREDaren Jonescu: America: The Home Of The...Compliant?
From home of the brave to a nation of sheep. If you want a quick measure of the state of American society, you might consider the federal government's use of unmanned aerial drones to monitor U.S. citizens, and in particular the EPA's matter-of-fact defense of its use of drones over the Midwest as necessary to "verify compliance" with environmental ...

Thomas Sowell: The Real 'War On Women'
Slight of hand under the guise of fairness. Among the people who are disappointed with President Obama, none has more reason to be disappointed than those who thought he was going to be "a uniter, rather than a divider" and that he would "bring us all together." It was a noble hope, but one with no factual foundation. Barack Obama had been a ... MORETouré: Marijuana Should Be Decriminalized
How much more tail-chasing do we require? New York Governor Andrew Cuomo wants to change New York’s laws to decriminalize marijuana. New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly have rushed to agree. Cuomo’s proposed change is a repudiation of Bloomberg’s stop-and-frisk program, which has arrested more than 400,000 ... MOREAlana Goodman: Good Riddance To Payroll Fairness Act
Thank you Republicans! The Senate voted down the Paycheck Fairness Act yesterday, a bill that was ostensibly aimed at closing the fabled 77-cent-on-the-dollar pay gap between men and women in the workplace (and in reality aimed at helping Democrats increase the gender vote gap between them and Republicans next November). The bill failed mainly along ... MOREJohn Stossel: Uncertainty Paralysis
.png)
Playing the game without knowing the rules. President Obama would do us all a big favor if he'd ask himself this: "Would I start or expand a business without knowing what regulations or taxes government will impose next year?" If he'd just stop and ask that, he'd have a sense of what's wrong with the economy. He'd understand why a country that must create ... MOREWhere Is The Outrage Over Domestic Use Of Drones?
by Andrew Napolitano. For the past few weeks, I have been writing in this column about the government's use of drones and challenging their constitutionality on Fox News Channel where I work. I once asked on air what Thomas Jefferson would have done if--had drones existed at the time--King George III had sent drones to peer inside the bedroom ... MOREJury Nullification's Long History Of Righting Wrongs
by Frank Parlato. Below is something that somehow is not taught in public schools. It is history nonetheless and easy enough for any one who is interested to verify. Jury ended power of King In 1215, when the Barons of England compelled King John to sign the Magna Carta, trial by jury was established. The King now had to seek permission through 12 ... MORE
Nothing To Hide? Let Police 'Force Catheterize' You
We must protect society from suspected pot smokers. A 22-year-old college student has filed an $11 million federal lawsuit against police in central Utah, claiming they forced a catheter in him after he refused to consent to a search for marijuana. Stephan Cook filed the lawsuit against a Sanpete County Sheriff’s deputy; an Ephraim police officer ... MOREGovernment Seen To Threaten More Than Protect Rights
Latest Rasmussen poll reveals a perceptive public. More than half of Americans, 51 percent, believe that the federal government is more a threat to their rights than a protector of them, according to the latest Rasmussen poll. Only 34 percent of those polled in the May 29-30 telephone survey see the federal government more as a protector ... MOREJames S Robbins: The Coming American Counterrevolution
A divided nation faces down fundamental change. The partisan divide in the United States may be past the point of no return. It could well be a symptom of greater changes in the American polity that herald the advent of potentially revolutionary change. On Monday, the Pew Research Center issued its annual report on American values, which revealed ... MOREDavid Harsanyi: The Democrats' 'Fairness' Canard
Beating back the woman haters. Only one group of Americans can make this nation a fairer place: trial lawyers. After all, crushing injustice has enveloped the nation. New Yorkers make more money than Iowans. Female lawyers earn more than male fishermen. People who are 6 feet tall -- and I saw this in a semi-scientific study -- earn, on average, about ... MORE
Jacob Sullum: The Devil In Rudy Eugene
Society's readiness to believe in satanic substances. Casting about for a reason why Rudy Eugene gnawed off most of a homeless man's face in an unprovoked attack on Miami's MacArthur Causeway last month, his girlfriend suggested he may have been the victim of a voodoo curse. Or maybe he was drugged, she told The Miami ... MORE
