ALAN KEYES — In an article entitled "The end of the republic?" professor Walter Williams traces the root of America's probably impending financial collapse to "a tragedy of the commons. That's a set of circumstances when something is commonly owned and individuals acting rationally in their own self-interest produce a set of results that are inimical to everyone's long-term interest"...

RICH LOWRY — Killing has never been so discriminating, so urbane, so cool. The New York Times and Newsweek both ran long, largely admiring articles on how President Barack Obama selects individual terrorists to terminate with extreme prejudice. The administration's "smart power" isn't working out so well, but smart killing is a smash success... (more)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — Last year, when angry protesters filled the streets of Madison, Wis., denouncing Gov. Scott Walker's plan to curtail some union collective bargaining powers, President Obama was eager to associate himself with the union cause... (more)


June 4, 2012
ROBERT COSTA — Regardless of whether Governor Scott Walker survives Tuesday's recall election, Wisconsin's public-employee unions are likely to see their power continue to decline. According to the Wall Street Journal, government unions in the Badger State have "experienced a dramatic drop in membership" since Walker and GOP lawmakers passed a package of reforms last year, including ones curbing collective-bargaining rights and ending mandatory union membership...

JOSEPH FARAH — Did you know Barack Obama is not only the first black president (assuming you don't take seriously Bill Clinton's attempted usurpation of that honor), the first homosexual president, as Newsweek declared him, but also the first Jewish president?... (more)


June 4, 2012
HOPE HODGE — The U.N. Law of the Sea Treaty, which passed the Senate Foreign Relations committee with a unanimous vote in 2004 but failed to receive the necessary two-thirds majority in the full Senate, is already in for a bigger fight this year... (more)


June 4, 2012
WASHINGTON TIMES — Something is desperately wrong with our legal system when the government can take property from innocent people who have never been charged with a crime. It's happening all over the country thanks to the surreal doctrine of civil forfeiture, through which courts hold inanimate objects guilty of crimes, instead of going after the actual owners who - as actual people - would be entitled to the presumption of innocence... (more)


June 4, 2012
WASHINGTON TIMES — When it comes to high state taxes, people vote with their feet. The Tax Foundation's Migration Calculator shows how people have moved state to state between 1993 and 2010, and the amount of adjusted gross income each state gained or lost over the same period. In general, states with higher taxes have lost residents and income to states with a lower tax bite... (more)


June 4, 2012
THOMAS SOWELL — Attorney General Eric Holder recently told a group of black clergymen that the right to vote was being threatened by people who are seeking to block access to the ballot box by blacks and other minorities... (more)


June 2, 2012
CNS NEWS — The Republican-controlled House of Representatives, which took office in January 2011, has enacted federal spending bills under which the national debt has increased more in less than one term of Congress than in the first 97 Congresses combined... (more)


June 2, 2012
MICHELLE MALKIN — Six-term entrenched incumbent Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, is attacking his conservative challenger, Dan Liljenquist, over his alleged support for tax hikes in Washington. My sides ache... (more)


June 2, 2012
BLOOMBERG — Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, in a break with his party, said he could support tax increases to help reduce the federal government's budget deficit. The brother of former President George W. Bush told a congressional panel in Washington today that he could back a theoretical deficit-reduction package that would include $1 in tax increases for every $10 in spending cuts... (more)


June 2, 2012
NEWSMAX — Ed Klein's blockbuster new book about President Obama is No. 1 on the New York Times' list of best-sellers for the second straight week, despite being ignored by virtually the entire "mainstream media"... (more)


June 2, 2012
DAVID LIMBAUGH — The gubernatorial recall election in Wisconsin next week is important as an imperfect test case to indicate how Democratic propaganda will work against facts this election year. Liberals are usually the ones who arrogantly throw around the charge that Republicans and conservatives are fact- and science-challenged and averse to reality... (more)


June 1, 2012
PATRICK GARRY, RA ANALYST — There are two promises that modern liberalism asserts -- two images about itself that it propagates. First, that it strives to fulfill the communal bonds and yearnings of human beings, to mitigate the harsh brutalities of an Ayn Rand-type of conservatism. And second, that it, and only it, represents the needs and interests of the common person... (more)


May 31, 2012
ALAN KEYES — This entry is part 5 of 6 in the series Restoring Representation. Step Two: Focus on restoring the political standard of America's founders and renewing America's common bond... (more)

The best of Fred Hutchison
FRED HUTCHISON, RA ANALYST — The scientists whose voices are quoted in the popular press sound like they are certain about global warming. But do they have adequate grounds for that certitude? Have they really done their homework?... (more)

MATT PATTERSON — June is shaping up to be a pivotal month for American liberty. On one front, the Supreme Court is expected in June to hand down its decision on the constitutionality of Obamacare, specifically, the individual mandate provision of President Obama's signature health care law, which requires Americans to purchase health insurance or face government sanction...

May 31, 2012
JOHN FUND — Every president comes to Washington with a coterie of outside advisers, friends, and fixers they've picked up during the course of a career. Eventually one or more of them becomes controversial. Richard Nixon had Bebe Rebozo. Jimmy Carter had his brother Billy and Bert Lance. Ronald Reagan had Mike Deaver... (more)


May 31, 2012
NEWSMAX — World powers are being too soft over Iran's nuclear program by only asking an end to low-grade enrichment, Israel's prime minister said Tuesday, charging that Tehran is proceeding to develop atomic weapons... (more)
