More kicking the can. A hundred years ago, anyone who might have predicted in 1913 the
monumental, man-made catastrophes that would occur in the rest of the
20th century would have been considered warped, if not completely
mentally deranged. Who would have believed that the continent of Europe, which had not
had a major war in nearly a ... MOREThomas Sowell: Looking Back -- And Forward
More kicking the can. A hundred years ago, anyone who might have predicted in 1913 the
monumental, man-made catastrophes that would occur in the rest of the
20th century would have been considered warped, if not completely
mentally deranged. Who would have believed that the continent of Europe, which had not
had a major war in nearly a ... MOREBarry Farber: Are Media Finally Doing Their Job?
Poor Jay Carney. Do you remember how World War II started? Don’t tell me “Hitler invaded Poland.” You’ve got to do better than that. The Nazis had “Special Forces” who spoke fluent Polish. They put on Polish army uniforms, sneaked into Poland, then sneaked back into Germany and blew up a German radio station near the Polish border. Hitler ... MOREWalter E Williams: Hating America
Indoctrination against liberty. Brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who are accused of setting the bombs that exploded at the Boston Marathon, attended the University of Massachusetts. Maybe they hated our nation before college, but if you want lessons on hating America, college attendance might be a good start. Let's look ... MOREJohn Stossel: True Grit
Are you a real man (or woman)? Do you have "grit"? Compare yourself to the man on the $20 bill: Andrew Jackson, our seventh president. During the Revolutionary War, Jackson volunteered to fight. He was just 13 years old at the time. The British captured him and made him a servant for British officers. When one ordered Jackson to ... MOREVIDEO: Surveillance After The Boston Attack
Do more cameras fight terrorism or violate or privacy rights?
Jacob Sullum: Too Stoned To Drive?
Treating pot smokers as menaces even when they're not. Last week, when the Colorado General Assembly
passed groundbreaking legislation aimed at taxing and
regulating marijuana, it also
passed a bill redefining when cannabis consumers are considered
too stoned to drive. The revised rule seems consistent with the
voter-approved ... MOREThe Obama IRS Nightmare Is Just Getting Started
by Ed Rogers, Washington Post. Your government, as currently administered by President Obama, doesn’t like the word “patriot.”
If you associate yourself with an organization using that word, you may
be investigated and prosecuted. Under Obama, government employees think
they are doing what their superiors want them to do when they ... MOREDaniel J. Flynn: Manny Pacquiao Vs The IRS
Enough to make taxpayers cry, "no mas." Manny Pacquiao takes on his toughest opponent in his next fight: the Internal Revenue Service. Roy Jones, Evander Holyfield, and Floyd Mayweather all fought the most powerful three-letters in boxing and lost. Manny Pacquiao, a Filipino who doesn’t possess their home field disadvantage, has already ... MOREMinimum Wage Legislation & The Small Business Scam
by Michael Saltsman. A group calling itself the Small Business Majority (SBM) recently released a survey
to support its argument that two-thirds of small businesses support a
hike in the minimum wage. It’s a counterintuitive result: After all, if
small businesses don’t mind a minimum wage hike, then pursuing the
policy should be a ... MORERedskins Owner Vows To Never Change The Name
by Chris Lingebach. “We’ll never change the name. It’s simple. NEVER.” That’s what Redskins owner Daniel Snyder told USA Today Sports Thursday, with the added caveat, “you can use caps.” Snyder putting his foot down, so to speak, may be what it takes to
bring some finality to a debate that’s raged on all offseason over the
offensive nature of ... MOREMatt Welch: Benghazi Hall Of Shame
On death, lies and an obscure YouTube trailer. Yesterday's
dramatic congressional testimony about the deadly Sept. 11,
2012 terrorist attacks on U.S. interests in Benghazi, Libya
convincingly
corroborated what was
widely reported within days of the attack: that senior American
officials on the ground knew immediately, ... MORERepublicans Are Refusing To Appoint Death Panel Members
Another ObamaCare impediment. One of the most politically intense fights over the Affordable Care Act was over the creation of the Independent Payment Advisory Board, infamously dubbed a "death panel" by Republicans during the 2010 elections. On Thursday, Republican House Speaker John Boehner
and Senate Minority Leader Mitch ... MOREMedia Scrambles To Minimize Team Obama Deception
by Dan Gainor. In the real world, when you cover up four murders after the fact, you likely go to jail. In government, you retire with dignity and run for president with full media support. Up until yesterday, that was the Benghazi scenario following the death of four Americans including our ambassador to Libya. The Obama administration has lied, ... MOREWhy All Of Us Should Mistrust The Government
by Andrew Napolitano. It should come as no surprise that President Obama told Ohio State students at graduation ceremonies last week that they should not question authority and they should reject the calls of those who do. He argued that "our brave, creative, unique experiment in self-rule" has been so successful that trusting the government is the same ... MOREThe Economic Ripple Effect Of The Bakken Shale Oil Boom
by Mark J. Perry. The Minneapolis Fed recently performed an interesting analysis
of the economic ripple effect of shale oil activity in North Dakota as
it spreads out from “ground zero” in the Bakken area, here’s an excerpt: The Bakken oil boom has led to strong growth in employment and record low unemployment rates in that region. ... MORE
