downgrade our credit rating and seeing President Obama add $6 trillion

Stop worrying about the ‘fiscal cliff.’ Spending cuts would feel
therapeutic after watching Standard & Poor's and Egan-Jones
downgrade our credit rating and seeing President Obama add $6 trillion
to the national debt. The way to avert another recession and massive

Americans need transparency of conventional warfare. The Obama administration has not yet answered concerns regarding the
secrecy, legality and efficacy of the drone warfare program. During the
presidential elections, to avoid leaving business unfinished, a
last-minute effort surfaced in the White House to create a secret rule ... MORERon Resnick: How Reality TV Saved The 2nd Amendment
An unexpected source promotes liberty. I used to dream that someday I would make a fortune, retire from whatever business occasioned the fortune, and endow what I would call the Second Amendment Litigation Trust. The sole purpose of this trust would be to finance Second Amendment attorneys to prosecute litigation designed to result ... MORESteve Chapman: Higher Taxes, Smaller Government?
Incentives needed to curb spending. It comes as no surprise to hear anti-tax activist Grover
Norquist talk about tax cuts, but it does come as a surprise to
hear him raise the subject of pink unicorns. Pink unicorns are purely imaginary—a trait he says they share
with the spending curbs that Republicans hope to get from the
administration in exchange ... MORE
The Government Can Still Black Bag Any American
by Travis Holte. The Senate passed the much ballyhooed Feinstein-Lee amendment last night, which supposedly partially
nullifies the provision in the National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) allowing for Americans to be kidnapped by the government and
disappeared without any charge or due process. Senator Rand Paul put out
a press release declaring ... MOREDrone Crashes Mount At Civilian Airports Overseas
by Craig Whitlock. The U.S. Air Force drone, on a classified spy mission over the Indian Ocean, was destined for disaster from the start. An inexperienced military contractor in shorts and a T-shirt,
flying by remote control from a trailer at Seychelles International
Airport, committed blunder after blunder in six minutes on April 4. He sent the ... MOREJ. D. Tucille: The Feds Want To Spy On Everything
They want to read more than just your e-mail. Electronic privacy is all the rage in
these post-Petraeus days. Can the government really go pawing through our email
at will? Well,
pretty much so, it turns out, at least, until the Supreme Court
gets around to focusing a little bit of its attention on this
newfangled, electronic world of ours. But email ... MORERachel Maddow's Blind Deference To Government Power
by Sheldon Richman. Is there a difference between government and society? Rachel
Maddow seems to think not. Pay close attention to these
words from the MSNBC host's promo as she attempts to
defend "America" against those who (in her view) believe its best
days are in the past: "No, no, no. We're not going to build it. No, No, No. America ... MORENYers Say FEMA Ignored Obama's Cut Red Tape Pledge
"FEMA ain't doing nothing." Storm-ravaged New Yorkers say President Obama’s promise to cut red tape and get them aid in the aftermath of Sandy has proven to be hot air. Angry citizens vented at FEMA officials at a town hall meeting held by the disaster relief agency Thursday, with tempers boiling over. Some 1,000 people, ... MOREKevin Robillard: Poll Shows Pot Legalization At Record High
Drug czar undaunted by public's will. Support for marijuana legalization has edged up recently and is now
tied with the opposition, according to a CBS poll released Friday — the
first time since that survey started keeping track of the issue. Forty-seven percent support legalization, and forty-seven percent oppose it, according to ... MOREVIDEO: Nanny Of The Month For November 2012
Why are Texas schools tracking students with RFID chips? To follow the money.
Rob Wile: Why Everyone Is Losing Hope For Green Energy
Green energy sounds like such a great idea. Unfortunately, it is extremely costly and requires heavy government subsidies. Last year, the epic downfall of Solyndra — the former solar cell manufacturer backed by the Obama administration — was one of the most notorious blows to the industry. As with most young industries, experts argue that ... MOREJessica Melugin: Internet Sales Taxes Attack States' Rights
Government intervention kills competition. Proponents of Internet sales taxes are asking the lame-duck Congress to bless their state tax cartel as part of a larger tax reform package by passing the Marketplace Equity Act (H.R. 3179) and its companion in the Senate, the Marketplace Fairness Act (S. 1832). These aren’t your average tax increases, ... MOREThe Governing Class And The Decline Of America
by Steve McCann. The United States will not reverse its descent into the abyss of financial and societal bankruptcy until the current political and governing establishment is replaced. That will not happen until the American people, who have been deliberately ill-educated and deceived, experience first-hand the early stages of the turmoil and ... MORETibor Machan: It's All About Choices, Stupid
Associations should be voluntary. There is a phony conflict afoot that statists are fond of bringing up when they try to discredit the free society. It is about the individual versus the community. Champions of human liberty are often mis-characterized as denying the significance of human community life. As if individualists advocated that ... MORESheldon Richman: Nullify The Drug War
Reclaiming individual liberty. Thomas Jefferson said a revolution every 20 years would be a good thing. Regardless of what one thinks of that, perhaps a little constitutional crisis every now and then would have its benefits. One such crisis may be brewing now. On election day, solid majorities of voters in Colorado and Washington voted to make ... MORERituparna Basu: It's Time To Unplug Medicare's Third Rail
Time for a financial reckoning. This election Paul Ryan and other Republicans dared approach the
third rail that is Medicare, and Democrats upped the voltage, branding
Republicans every chance they got as wanting to “end Medicare as we know
it.” But whatever you thought of Ryan’s particular proposals for Medicare,
and whoever you voted for, there’s one ... MORE
