Coming Soon…Taxpayer-Funded Abortion Clinics — Maurine Proctor
By Maurine Proctor What if I told you that 423 taxpayer funded abortion clinics could be open for business virtually overnight! No, this is not courtesy of Obamacare, it's courtesy of the military. If the annual appropriation bill for the Department of Defense (DOD), aka the military, passes the Senate in its current form, that will be exactly [...]
Why Doctors Don’t Want Free-Market Medicine — Theodore Levy
Free Enterprise Zone, The Freeman, Theodore Levy You may have heard that the AMA and “America’s physicians” favor universal health care. That’s true of the AMA, but that organization represents fewer than 20 percent of the nation’s doctors. And it’s true of many academic university physicians, but anecdotally it is obviously [...]
Selective Enforcement — Henry Lamb
By Henry Lamb Federal law currently prohibits the use of marijuana. California spit in the face of the feds and enacted a law that makes “medical” marijuana available to anyone who wants it. Now, a ballot initiative in the November election will remove the “medical” requirement and allow any adult to grow and use marijuana at [...]

Heads Should Roll — Caruba
By Alan Caruba The only person who has been fired in the midst of the oil spill fiasco has been the former head of the Minerals Management Service of the Department of the Interior. According to a June 17 editorial in The Wall Street Journal, it is now clear that both the Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, and the White House energy [...]
Shut Up Barack! — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba Does anyone recall the first weeks of Barack Obama’s presidency? He was everywhere on the media all the time. His constant use of TelePrompters became an instant joke, suggesting he could not say anything unless it was scripted. Indeed, listening to him try to speak without them is a painful process of a very slow [...]
Minnesota Homeschoolers Lobby Legislators to Challenge Obamacare
Liberty Alerts, Education Reporter Each year, a group of Minnesota homeschool students gathers weekly at a church in Roseville, Minnesota to research, discuss, and draft mock legislative resolutions for four public policy issues.

Authoritarianism Is Bad For Your Health —
Texas Straight Talk with Ron Paul The administration's terrible healthcare reform bill is now law, but the debate over how-- and whether-- the federal government should be involved in providing healthcare services is not over. It is not too late for America to correct its course and stop the march toward a government run, "single payer" [...]
Moribund Free Market? — T.F. Stern
By T.F. Stern, There’s an article on Bloomberg by Lorraine Woellert and John Gittelsohn which explains how taxpayers are on the hook to Fannie and Freddie for somewhere between $160 Billion and $ 1 Trillion. I was unfamiliar with one word they used; not being the sharpest pencil in the box I get to use the dictionary and thesaurus more [...]
Being a Politician While Black — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba Privately I have been telling friends that Barack Obama has made it nearly impossible for any black American politician to become president for at least the next two generations, maybe more. He has sealed their fate. Then I read Walter E. Williams’ column, “Can Black Americans Afford Obama?” He wrote, “I am all too [...]
Democrats Try to Lock Up Their Base
By Phyllis Schlafly "You have to decide what your goals are." That's what the Democratic staffer who wrote the marriage penalty into Obama's Health Control Law told a Wall Street Journal reporter. Indeed, the Democrats and their feminist allies have decided that one of their major goals is to increase the number of single moms by [...]

Death By Obamacare — Phil Brennan
Perspectives with Phil Brennan Informed Views from Outside the Beltway It occurs to me that someone else might be writing my column - more appropriately my obituary,- if Obamacare were in effect now instead of four years hence. Last Wednesday night I had a heart attack. 911 responded promptly and summoned an ambulance to transport me to the [...]
Obama STARTS to Disarm America
by Phyllis Schlafly Would you be satisfied if your only access to a computer was to try to boot up one that hadn't been used or tested since 1992? That's the predicament of our nuclear deterrent on which we depend for our ultimate physical survival. On April 8 in Prague, President Obama signed what is called the New START bilateral arms [...]
Murdering America — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba We are all witnesses to the crime; the deliberate murder of the United States of America. In just under a year and a half, the White House in collusion with the Democrats in Congress has conspired not to “save” America from a financial crisis they created, but to kill America through a series of multi-billion dollar [...]
Choose Freedom — Stop ObamaCare!
Liberty Alerts, The John Birch Society Introducing our newest campaign: Choose Freedom--Stop ObamaCare! This will be no short-term campaign, rather we are in it for the long haul.

The Absence of Competence — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba Is it too much to expect the Attorney General of the United States, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the President to have actually read the law that the State of Arizona passed regarding illegal aliens? Is it too much to expect the President not to use that law—-the same as a federal law—-as a lame joke at the [...]
Does Obama Hate America — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba I have been a book reviewer since the 1960s and am, in fact, a founding member of the National Book Critics Circle, but I rarely devote a commentary to a particular book. I am, however, going to recommend you read “The Manchurian President: Barack Obama’s Ties to Communists, Socialists and Other Anti-American [...]
The US Government is Pushing Climate Change like a Drug
By Alan Caruba We all know that heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamines are addictive drugs that do a great deal of harm to those addicted to them, but the U.S. government has been pushing global warming, now called climate change, to addict Americans to the belief that the Earth is threatened when it is not. Climate change is what has [...]
Obamacare Verses Freedom — Phyllis Schlafly
By Phyllis Schlafly Congress passed the Obama Health Control Law with a bare majority, but passage certainly doesn't end the controversy. This issue will stick around to plague the Democrats not only through the 2010 elections but for the rest of Obama's Administration. That's because the American people have figured out that the issue is [...]
Cry Treason! — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba Treason is generally defined as the offense of attempting to overthrow the government of one's country or of assisting its enemies in war. Benedict Arnold burned his name into U.S. history by conspiring with the British to turn over West Point to them. When his plot failed, he fled to England. Having all formerly been [...]
Politicizing Oil Slicks
By Alan Caruba Since everything in America is politicized, it is no surprise that on May 3rd, the two New Jersey Senators, Robert Menendez and Frank Lautenberg, along with Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida, all Democrats, held a press conference to announced they were introducing legislation “to ensure that oil companies are not allowed off [...]
Comedian-In-Chief — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba I watched the White House Correspondents Association annual dinner Saturday evening. The ballroom in which it was held was huge and still could not fit in the many who wished to attend. There was a smattering of celebrities including Kim Kardashian. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this vapid [...]
Democrat Cabal Dangles Bait For Unwitting Republicans
By: Christopher G. Adamo With more than half a year yet to go before the pivotal 2010 elections, the Democrats are clearly in a panicked election mode. Every news story, every major speech, and every mass mailing makes reference to the fact that the Republicans are unbending in their opposition to the liberal agenda, with the accompanying [...]
Obama’s Blame Game
By Alan Caruba It hasn’t taken long for most Americans to figure out Obama’s blame game in which each new “crisis” requires a straw man to discredit and knock down. Co-authors, Ken Blackwell, a senior fellow with the Family Research Council, and Ken klukowski, a widely published constitutional lawyer, have joined forces to write [...]
The Healthcare Act Money Pit — Alan Caruba
President Obama says the new healthcare act will save money. Check out this list and tell me if you think it will. Remember, all of them will require a vast bureaucracy to manage.
