Brooks: Making A Moral Case For Capitalism
Freedom requires it. Earlier this month in the first presidential debate, Mitt Romney made an unusual argument by modern political standards: that long-term deficit spending is not just an economic issue, but a moral one.

MORETop Underreported Story: The Expanding Police State

to new data released by the Republican side of the Senate Budget

Bloggers, tweeters and t-shrit wearers targeted. What country has just sentenced a man to eight months in prison
for wearing an anti-police t-shirt, and another man to three months
in prison for telling an “abhorrent” joke on Facebook? Iran,
perhaps? China? No, it’s Britain. Something has gone horribly wrong in Britain in ... MORE

John Stossel: Bad Rules
Licensing individual liberty. We take free speech for granted in America, unlike elsewhere. The
furor over that anti-Muslim video is the latest reminder of that. But freedom of speech is never safe, even here. Many colleges now
impose "civility codes." Civility is nice, but enforcing a "civility
rule" against offensive speech would put an end to lots ... MOREJohn Whitehead: Breeding Grounds For Compliant Citizens
Where American schools excel. “[P]ublic school reform is now justified in the dehumanizing language of national security, which increasingly legitimates the transformation of schools into adjuncts of the surveillance and police state… students are increasingly subjected to disciplinary apparatuses which limit their capacity for critical ...
