Indian Gurkha Awarded for Refusing to be a Victim

by Bob Adelmann | 5:39 am, February 29, 2012

This soldier’s story is our story: challenging a foe that appears, on the surface, to have all the advantages. And yet, when that foe is faced with determination and grit, they fold like a cheap suit and head for the exits. It’s a good lesson for us.

The American Thinker Gets It Wrong

by Elliot Fladen | 10:31 am, February 26, 2012

Attached see the following article which advances a more and more prevalent idea among some of the more extreme Santorum supporters – that Libertarians and the Conservative movement are not compatible.  Some prominent socially conservative grassroots types have been pushing this article in social media. I want to be VERY clear in reaction to this. [...]

Overcoming the Decline in American Economic Freedom

by Ben DeGrow | 5:54 pm, February 14, 2012

Here’s a great quick video to watch, drawing the connection between America’s declining economic freedom and a host of problems, including the rising tide of debt which daily comes closer to drowning us all: Who will wake up and turn this ship around? Just in case you didn’t understand why the 2012 national elections were [...]

Homeland (Cyber)Security? – Congress moves toward giving DHS control of Internet security

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 10:48 am, February 7, 2012

Since 9/11, this nation is increasingly characterized by foolish overreactions to hysterical flights of fancy.  In the name of preparing for a thousand and one unlikely scenarios, we are spending like drunken sailors and throwing civil liberties out the proverbial window. Case in point: a U.S. House panel approved legislation transferring control of private networks [...]

Radiation may cause cancer. Who knew?

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 4:42 pm, February 6, 2012

Under the bogglingly illogical government we have so judiciously elected, there’s no problem in blasting people with radiation so long as it’s not designated to be for medical purposes.  We all know what this means; because airport scanners aren’t rearranging our atoms for a medical benefit, they don’t come under FDA control.  Hence, your guess is as [...]

Rich Americans Are Fleeing the Country

by Bob Adelmann | 5:22 am, February 5, 2012

Money doesn’t necessarily buy freedom. Rich Americans are discovering how difficult, and expensive, it is to leave the land of the free.

CBO Report: U.S. Deficits “Unsupportable”

by Bob Adelmann | 12:44 pm, February 3, 2012

The Congressional Budget Office has been accused of fudging the numbers. However, these numbers are so bad they don’t can’t be fudged.

Three cheers for data privacy, but is a ‘Right to be Forgotten’ too much?

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 8:30 am, February 3, 2012

New data privacy laws in European Union states have created just that – a digital ‘right’ to be forgotten.  All countries doing business in EU member states will now need to get explicit opt-in permissions to collect data on users and will need to comply with users requests to have that data purged.  Additionally, companies [...]

Anti-Gun Group to Boycott Starbucks on Valentine’s Day

by Bob Adelmann | 12:09 pm, February 2, 2012

I don’t drink coffee but on Tuesday, February 14th, I’m going over to my nearby Starbucks to show them my support for their principled stand and resistance to efforts by anti-gun groups to turn them into their surrogates in their attack on the Second Amendment. And I’m also going to be carrying…
