Freedom Concerns
A Minority of One
As President Barack Obama continues to transform the United States into a socialist hell, yet another poke in the eye is the National Mediation Board’s recent proposal to make it easier for airline and railroad workers to unionize. But the proposed new rule would require only that a majority of employees who actually vote on the question of unionization would be needed to unionize. Read this article to learn what this means for liberty…
Back Inside the Asylum…
If anyone wants to shove their heads in the desert sand regarding Iran, have at it. I’m disinclined to hand a free pass to an Islamofascist regime with a pronounced tendency to make the psych ward at Bellevue look like bingo night at the senior center. Read this article for one suggestion for dealing with the problem of a nuclear Iran…
The 4th Amendment: May It Rest In Peace
In the name of safety we have ceded our right not to be searched at airports… almost without a whimper. First we accepted removing our shoes and opening our bags. Then we accepted being frisked and poked and prodded. Then we accepted having our bodies irradiated and naked pictures being taken and ogled at and saved in the system — all in the interest of “safety.” But here’s what really killed the 4th Amendment…
Sneaky Senate Trying To Slip Internet Kill Switch Past Us
Sensing Senators don’t have the stomach to try and pass a stand-alone bill in broad daylight that would give the President the power to shut down the Internet in a national emergency, the Senate is considering attaching the Internet Kill Switch bill as a rider to other legislation that would have bi-partisan support.
The Government’s War on Us
In my Straight Talk column two weeks ago I said that Daily Wealth gives more genuinely valuable contrarian investment advice than any other website I know of. That’s still true. But what I should have added is that every once in a while you’ll get some political commentary that is so right-on-the-mark you’ll wish you had said it first. Read this article for one example…
The Tangled Webs We Weave
As of today, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) can’t stop you from throwing up a website devoted to most anything — even things which aren’t real, like Rachel Maddow’s talent. But, what if a government agency, with fully vested enforcement authority, pulled you over in your sporty new Dell and cited you with a ticket for excessive conservatism?
Another Day Of The Undead
I’m no aficionado of the vampire craze. Not that I don’t get the allure of watching oversexed attractive people chase each other around; but vampires are (were) bad. Anything which can fit into a category of “undead” is not good news, no matter how impressive its abs might be. So imagine my horror Friday when I was greeted by the visage of one of recent history’s most vile grotesqueries.
The Presidential Poser
Just who exactly is this man posing as President of the United States? That’s a question being asked by a growing number of Americans. In fact, a recent poll by CNN — a news organization that has been downright gushing in its praise of Barack Obama — showed that six out of 10 people are uncertain the President was even born in the U.S. Read this article to learn a few of the questions surrounding the current presidential poser…
The Return Of Civil Disobedience
It’s good to see civil disobedience making a comeback. As NBC’s Washington, D.C., affiliate reported recently, a group of students who were members of the conservative Young America’s Foundation High School Conference were touring the Capitol in June. While visiting the Lincoln Memorial, the group spontaneously began singing the National Anthem when a U.S. Park Police officer tried to shut them down.
What Websites Do You Read?
In response to hundreds of reader inquiries—well, at least three—I’m going to devote this week’s column to describing some of the other websites I read every week. If some in the list below are new to you I hope you’ll check them out. You may find yet another “must read” columnist you’ll want to check out every week…
Court’s Decision Opens Doors To Ground Zero Mosque
A ruling by New York City’s Landmarks Preservation Commission denied landmark status for a downtown building, opening the way for its demolition and the construction of a controversial Islamic center near the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Beware The Lame Duck
Faced with mounting criticism over his handling of the Federal debt, President Barack Obama did what every brave elitist of the elected class has done before him: he appointed a commission. Read this article to learn what the commission has in store…
Would They Do That? Benevolent Totalitarianism
You look like me. You talk like me. You go to the same schools and churches with me. You grew up in the same culture. Why would you use force of arms against me and even kill me and my children, maybe burn us alive? Read this article to see what your government is really up to…
How To Change Human Liberty To Fascism Without Anyone Knowing It
There is absolutely no need for military conquest. Changing human liberty to fascism is done gradually… even if it takes 100 years. Read this article to learn more about gradualism, fiat money, deception and health and how they are used against an unsuspecting public…
President Clinton And Tea Party Terrorists
For more than a year Democrats and their mainstream media lapdogs have sought to portray Tea partiers as everything from ignoramuses to racist skinheads to gun-wielding, Bible-toting terrorists. Now former President Bill Clinton has taken it up a notch, likening them to Oklahoma City bombing suspect Timothy McVeigh. Read this article and see if you can determine who might be the real terrorists…
