MOREA. Barton Hinkle: Will The Right Come Around On Pot?
Or will they assume the role of U.N. lackeys. Advocates of treating marijuana more like alcohol gained another ally recently: the United Nations. The U.N. would claim otherwise. In fact, the U.N.’s International Narcotics Control Board would hotly deny it. The agency’s latest report laments the legalization of pot in Colorado and ... MORETracie Cone: Bill Would Ban Lead Ammunition In California

MOREGavin Newsom: 'War On Drugs Is Abject Failure'
California Lieutenant Governor takes a stand. Citing the myriad politicians who have recently publicly declared their support for gay marriage, Newsom suggested it was time for leaders to "come out of the closet" on marijuana, too. "I am sick and tired of politicians saying one thing in private and saying another in public," he said. "It's time ... MORE
Thomas Sowell - Intellectuals And Race
Racism is now a default explanation. There are so many fallacies about race that it would be hard to say
which is the most ridiculous. However, one fallacy behind many other
fallacies is the notion that there is something unusual about different
races being unequally represented in various institutions, careers or at
different income or ... MOREMatt Welch: Toward A Libertarian Foreign Policy
Rand Paul moves the ball on a long-overdue project. In October 2010, one month before a historic wave of Tea Party Republicans swept into power, Washington’s conservative establishment banded together to spread an urgent message to any would-be budget cutters on or near Capitol Hill: Hands off the military, kids. The $80 million ... MOREA Case Against Government Bans On Feeding The Homeless
by Baylen Linnekin. During the late 1990s, when I worked as a researcher in the Judiciary Square area of downtown Washington, DC, my job required me to walk across The Mall twice each day to pick up documents at the Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Transportation. En route, I would invariably stop to talk with ... MOREStar Parker: Background Checks Won't Make Us Safer
Freedom isn't the problem, people are. In April of 2007, a mentally disturbed student showed up at the campus of his school, Virginia Tech, brandishing two semi-automatic pistols, and murdered 32 students, teachers and school employees and wounded 17 others. Then he took his own life. It was the one of deadliest mass shooting incidents in American . ... MOREWalter E Williams: Educational Rot
Schools of education are academic slums. American education is in a sorry state of affairs, and there's enough blame for all participants to have their fair share. They include students who are hostile and alien to the education process, uninterested parents, teachers and administrators who either are incompetent or have been beaten down by the system, ... MORERalph Benko: DHS To Aquire 1.6 Billion Rounds Of Ammo
Just what is the Obama regime up to? The Denver Post, on February 15th, ran an Associated Press article entitled Homeland Security aims to buy 1.6b rounds of ammo, to far too little notice. It confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security has issued an open purchase order for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition. As elsewhere reported, ... MORERick Manning: McCain Goes Whacko Bird
A man whose time has gone. Senator John McCain went all whacko bird to the Huffington Post attacking fellow Republican Senators Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. His fellow Republican Senators crime was to have had the audacity to actually stand up to power and force the Obama Administration to accept that the U.S. Constitution does not allow the random ... MORERick Moran: Gun Control Efforts Are Dying In Congress
Not with a bang, but with a whimper. A sure sign that nothing much will happen on the gun control front is that President Obama has barely lifted a finger to personally lobby lawmakers to pass his agenda. And he certainly hasn't been anywhere near the negotiations that ended up bringing 4 bills to the Senate Judiciary Committee - three of which ... MORENY Times Op-Ed: An Ugly Truth In The War On Drugs
Time to advance, not degrade, human rights. This week, representatives from many nations will gather at the annual
meeting of the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs in Vienna to
determine the appropriate course of the international response to
illicit drugs. Delegates will debate multiple resolutions while ignoring
a truth that goes to ... MORE John Fund: Minimum Wage Equals Maximum Confusion
Why it hurts the poor more than helps. President Obama made headlines in January when he called for raising the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $9 and tying future increases to inflation. Politically, calling for a higher minimum wage is a winner. This week, New York’s state assembly voted to implement Obama’s plan locally. On the national level, ... MORENicole Russell: Rand's Band Of Brothers
The liberty diehards. Whatever his ideological leanings, surely Shakespeare would have raised an eyebrow at the political scene Wednesday, if only for the content it would have stirred in his creative mind. Though Rand Paul spearheaded an epic 13-hour filibuster, he didn’t fill that time alone. Fourteen other Senators total — including one ... MORE
