MOREThomas Sowell: Milton Friedman Sorely Needed Today
A believer in the power of freedom. If Milton Friedman were alive today – and there was never a time when he was more needed – he would be 100 years old. He was born on July 31, 1912. But Professor Friedman's death at age 94 deprived the nation of one of those rare thinkers who had both genius and common sense. Most people would not be able to understand ... MORERonald Bailey: Government Did Not Build Your Business
No surprise, Obama is wrong again. “If you’ve got a business—you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen,” declared President Barack Obama at a campaign stop last week in Virginia.

A devolving society. Having been born in 1936 has allowed me to witness both societal progress and retrogression.

Larry Doyle: Is Free Enterprise Still Free?
You might want to ask Chick-fil-A. I do not find it surprising that certain political leaders in our nation easily lash out in threatening fashion to those running a free enterprise. Why am I not surprised? In the “Uncle Sam” economy that permeates our nation, the violation of contracts and property rights has become increasingly prevalent. In that vein, we should ... MOREChristopher Elliott: Who Are The Real TSA Dissidents?

Here’s the problem: with an increase in government comes an increase in privileges for special interests. ... MORE
Pat Murphy: Looking Back At Milton Friedman
Tomorrow would have been Milton's 100th birthday. Milton Friedman would have been 100 this month. Although physically tiny, his professional stature was large.

Katie Kieffer: Where Is John Galt?
Where is a man who can save us? A man of virtue and action who can rebuild our economy and culture? We must find a true-to-life John Galt.

MOREAaron Dykes: TSA: Filming Checkpoints Is "Terrorism"

MOREScott Shackford: The Misguided Assault On Chick-fil-A
A terrible abuse of political power. As if politicians’ flogging of the fast food industry via Nanny State posturing over calories and nutrition isn’t bad enough, now those businesses are going to be punished for not having the right political beliefs. Chick-fil-A, the 50-year-old fast food chain whose Christian credentials were always apparent in its decision to ... MOREPolitical Correctness Won The First Olympic Medal
