The Minimum Wage is Bad for Employers, Workers, and the Economy
The minimum wage is about freedom. Think about it. The government is forcing employers to pay people a certain amount of money. It’s no wonder that a majority of voters have no problem with the government taking ever higher amounts of money from workers in the form of taxes. When

Colleges Offer Insurance for Gender Change Operations
When most people think about healthcare, they usually have broken bones, infections, cancer, severe cuts and lacerations, and needed operations to fix any number health debilitating ailments in mind.

NAACP President: Blacks Worse Off Under Obama
Blacks have always been worse off under Democrats. So much of liberal legislative action to help blacks ends up hurting them and moving them backwards economically. There’s no doubt that many blacks survive the attempt to make them wards of the State. The black family has been nearly destroyed by

Turn In Your ‘Assault Weapon’ for a 75% Return on Your Money
Liberals are so creative. The latest scheme to get so-called assault weapons off the street is to offer a tax credit. Dr. Susan Berry on Breitbart writes: “Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) introduced a bill on Monday that, if passed, would give a $2,000 tax credit, over a two-year period, for owners

The NRA Got Harry Reid Re-Elected
There was a good chance of getting rid of Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) in 2010 until Wayne LaPierre of the NRA descended on Nevada and endorsed the liberal stalwart. Reid used a lot of tax-payer money to build a state-of-the-art gun range in Nevada, the Clark County Shooting Park. Why

NY Congressman Wants Hugo Chavez as President
Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro have declared themselves to be “Presidents for Life.” Venezuela’s constitution once had term limits on the presidency.

Will Trillion-Dollar Coins Fix the Debt Crisis?
The Congressional spenders and the President are thieves. They pass laws to take our money in the form of a progressive income tax and redistribute it to people who don’t lift a finger to earn it. They print money to dilute the value of our investment accounts. They implement debt-ridden

Reclaim the Language: Taxation is Theft
The first thing any good debater learns is that the debate is never with the guy on the stage. The debate is always with the audience. Os Guinness makes a very astute observation in his book The Gravedigger File. It’s the 10-10-80 principle. In most social movements, there are worldview

‘Acquired Violence Immune Deficiency’ and ‘Compassion Fatigue’
It’s easy to blame guns for violence. They are the end-point of the death and destruction. But there have always been guns and gun crime, but nothing like we are seeing today. Why the difference? There are a number of factors. First, moral certainty is uncertain. Moral relativism rules the

How Many ‘People of Color’ Does it take not to be Racist?
The appointment of Tim Scott in South Carolina to fill the seat left vacant by Jim DeMint is proving to be vexing for liberals. They can’t praise the appointment of a black man to fill a Republican seat. That would be an admission that Republicans aren’t the racialists that liberals

John Stossel Doesn’t See Evidence for God and Liberals Don’t See Evidence for the Free Market
John Stossel has been a consistent spokesman for free market economics. Thomas Sowell recommends Stossel’s latest book No, They Can’t! as a great Christmas gift. I agree. “It is written with a light touch, but gets across some pretty heavy stuff about economics. The title is a take-off on Obama’s

Democrat Threatens “Blood in the Street” Over Union Vote
“There will be blood,” State Representative Douglas Geiss threatened from the floor of the Michigan House of Representatives as its members debated legislation that eventually made Michigan the nation’s 24th right to work state. Union thuggery is not uncommon or new. It was Jimmy Hoffa, Jr., who said this about

Obama Attacks the Right to Work
You would think that a right to work law would be supported by everybody. Liberals hate right to work laws because they can’t control individual workers like they can union workers. The heads of unions control their members, collect millions of dollars in union dues that go to help Democrats,

Twisting the Constitution to Raise Taxes
Stephen Prothero, a professor of religion at Boston University and the author of The American Bible: How Our Words United, Divide, and Define a Nation, has written “James Madison vs. Norquist” for USA Today.

NFL Players Explain Democrat Taxing Policies
While all the media attention has been focused on Jovan Belcher’s murder of his girlfriend and his own suicide and the supposed NFL gun culture, there was an interesting article in USA Today that helps to put the present dependency culture in perspective. What does NFL players owning guns have

“Paying Your Fair Share” is a License to Steal
I’m always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt. I realize that not everybody knows everything. But people who claim to be journalists, even those who are opinion columnists, are usually educated people. Most of them went to college. I realize that a lot of smart people go

Tea Party Getting Ready for Showdown in 2014
The GOP didn’t get the message after the election of 2010, and it’s not getting the message after its poor showing in 2012 against Obama. Typical of Republicans, they tried to appeal to the center and ignored their base. John Boehner and a number of other Establishment Republicans are involved
