Leonard Pitts Jr.: Free Speech Is Not Negotiable
They are perhaps the most dangerous words ever written: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” ... MOREAdam Levine: Government's Epic Fail On Privacy
94 Million Americans exposed to identity theft. When you hear a number like "94 million" in the news, it's usually
because somebody won the lottery. This time around, no such luck. This
94 million is the number of Americans' files in which personal
information has been exposed, since 2009, to potential identity theft through data breaches
at government ... MOREVIDEO: Pat Condell - A Word To Rioting Muslims
Let's just put it out on the front steps where the goats can get it.
Legalize Marijuana in 2012? It Could Happen In 3 States
Colorado, Oregon and Washington eye a new cash cow. A catchy pro-marijuana jingle for Colorado voters considering legalizing the drug goes like this: "Jobs for our people. Money for schools. Who could ask for more?" It's a bit more complicated than that in the three states — Colorado, Oregon and Washington — that could become the first ... MORENY Times Editorial: California And The Fourth Amendment
State takes to seizing DNA without a warrant. On Wednesday, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is scheduled to reconsider whether California violates the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition against searches and seizures by requiring police to take DNA samples from people arrested but not yet convicted of felonies. ... MOREGary North: 100 Percent Chance That U.S. Will Default
There is good reason to prepare for a catastrophe. It is not often that readers get a clear-cut choice between two forecasts. Most forecasts have wiggle room. Not the following. 1. The United States government will default. 2. The United States government will not default. I hold the first position. John T. Harvey holds the second. He wrote a ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Defense Of Romney's "47%" Comment
Sometimes, the truth hurts. As readers of this column and viewers of Fox News Channel may know, I have not hesitated to criticize Gov. Mitt Romney's presidential campaign and the governor himself. I have argued that his message is muddled and his values are unknown beyond his ardent wish to improve economic conditions through the use of free ... MORE
John Stossel: I Like Gary Johnson
Choosing against governmental coercion. All political candidates call themselves freedom-lovers, but they are not. Neither major party really opposes government control of the economy or of our personal lives. I'm a libertarian because I see the false choice offered by political left and right: Democrats talk about personal liberty; Republicans talk about ... MOREWashington Times: Obama's Moocher Culture
Obama voters want gravy train to keep flowing. The liberal media went wild over a video of Mitt Romney saying people who pay no taxes and live off government handouts have no reason to vote for him. Left unsaid is that Barack Obama has been running on exactly that platform. When it comes to the culture of dependency, President ... MOREPeter Wilson: The Progressive War On Parking
Putting the squeeze on private transportation. Mark your calendars: September 21 is international PARK(ing) Day, described as "annual open-source global event where citizens, artists and activists collaborate to temporarily transform metered parking spaces into 'PARK(ing)' spaces." Get it? The place you "park" your car becomes a "park." It's a ... MORECitizens May Get Temporary Reprieve From Drones
by Joan Lowy. Difficult to resolve safety and security obstacles may prevent the Federal Aviation Administration from meeting a deadline to allow civilian drones routine access to U.S. skies within three years, according to a report released Tuesday by a government watchdog. The FAA is under pressure from Congress, industry and other ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: The Great Tax Divide
JFK and John Maynard Keynes both knew it. There was a time when Democrats and Republicans alike could talk sense about tax rates, in terms of what is best for the economy, without demagoguery about "tax cuts for the rich." Democratic presidents Woodrow Wilson and John F. Kennedy spoke plainly about the fact that higher tax rates on ... MOREWilliam Martin: Marijuana, A Case For Legalization
The policy is the greater harm. More than 100 million people in this country have tried marijuana at some point. More than 28 million will do so this year. It will not make them dangerous or more interesting. It should not make them criminals. Marijuana’s critics cite proven negative effects of heavy use: loss of concentration and short-term memory, ... MORETop Muslim Calls For U.N. To End Free Speech
Free thinking identified as an insult to Islam. One of the world’s most influential Muslims is now calling on the United Nations – in light of the YouTube movie blamed for violent protests across the Mideast – to impose international restrictions on free speech, criminalizing any statement that impugns Islam. Sheikh Abdullah Bin Bayyah, a ... MOREJuror In Cannabis Nullification Case Speaks Out!
Doing justice, not merely law enforcement. As reported earlier, a NH jury has found a man not guilty of growing cannabis in the first-ever (that I know of) use of jury nullification in NH! Now one of the jurors, who happens to be a Free State Project participant, Cathleen, is speaking out. Below is her written statement about her experience on the ... MOREArnold Ahlert: What Does A Police State Look Like?
On the future of progressivism. So, what does a police state look like? A police state is place where massive amounts of government corruption and/or incompetence are covered up by an equally corrupt and/or incompetent media. It is a place where a film-maker’s first amendment rights are secondary to the sensibilities of murderous ... MORE
