Of all the new faces in the new House of Representatives, the only one -- so far -- to not speak the Republican dialect of "Washingtonspeak" is Paul Ryan, of Wisconsin. Ryan has been in Congress for a decade, but he’s about to become a lot more influential. Ryan...
As expected, Republicans now have more control of the government than before. Their gains in the House of Representatives, at least, are substantial. The more important news is that some Republicans actually do appear to stand for something different from Democrats,...
Some people blame Obama's failures on being "too ideological." This is equivalent to saying: "Obama is failing because he has ideas." Ridiculous. Nobody in politics -- or anything else -- fails for having ideas. People fail for having BAD ideas. Obama, like Democrats...
Reality: Unemployment has gone up 2 percent since Obama came to office. All of his economic proposals passed Congress. Democrats' response: It's all Bush's fault. The economy is so bad that even Obama cannot save it. Bush destroyed everything. Still, Obama should be...
The fields of ethics, knowledge and general philosophy are more fundamental than psychology. These fields refer to the nature of ideas; psychology deals with ideas as people hold them in their minds, along with the attendant emotional consequences when contradictory...
Physicians and other medical professionals have the power to bring down socialized medicine--socialized medicine as we know it, and as its expansion is being proposed. They can do so by simply saying, "Enough." Government does not own my skills. Government has no...
Here's a fascinating quote attributed to online writer Paul E. Marek: "The hard quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous. Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the...
The President of the United States doesn’t care about the rights of individuals. He only cares about the power of governments.
In a free country, it's self-evident that there's room for everyone. This is because free people are also, by definition,self-responsible. The only people who need to be kept out of a free country are violent criminals and others who are objective, physical threats....
Alan Greenspan should never have departed from Ayn Rand’s principles. It wasn’t practical: Not for him, and not for the rest of us.
A growing number of "elites," including Bill Clinton, are calling for a return of the "fairness doctrine" to talk radio, a sure indication that Congress and the new President will soon be taking on this issue. Supporters of the "fairness doctrine" are actually evading...
So let me get this straight. When government regulates what can and cannot be said on the Internet, it’s NOT a restriction on freedom of speech — so long as the government claims it’s striving to act in “the public interest.”
President Obama, who clearly doesn't know what he's doing, keeps asking for new ideas. Of course, he's only interested in socialist ones. Here are some fresh ideas from the capitalism point-of-view: Deregulate the economy across the board. We're told the economy has...
A journalist wrote me the following: "I always say both Democrats and Republicans want to transfer wealth. Democrats want to take from the rich and give to the poor. Republicans want to take from the poor and give to the rich. This [proposed government bailout] only...
An increasingly popular argument in favor of socialized medicine goes like this: "If universal health care works for the elderly under Medicare, then why not for the rest of us?" If that's true, then the Democratic nominee for President should definitely work this one...
Most are thankful to God. I am thankful to man — specifically, to those individuals who (over the centuries) have created the countless things I need for survival and enjoyment.
Why did Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad want a "photo op" at Ground Zero? Doesn't he hate the United States and everything it stands for? If not, then perhaps he aims at peace more than we assume? As I always say: Look at what people do, not at what they say....
Should the federal government require everyone to buy health insurance? If the goal is "universal coverage," then obviously the answer is yes. But that isn't the point. The point is that it isn't the duty or right of the government to force people to buy insurance,...
They say health care in the United States is outrageously expensive because of a failure of the free market. But we don't have a free market in health care. States throughout the country regulate private health insurance, and have turned it into a one-size-fits-all...
Secretary of State Rice has stated that Israel has an "obligation" to respond to the U.N.'s demand for a cease-fire in Lebanon. Since when does any sovereign government have an obligation to reply or have anything at all to do with the U.N.? Keep in mind that Rice is...
Why does peace so elude the Middle East? A recent MSNBC.com news report provides the answer: "Hezbollah [whose attacks on Israel triggered Israel's recent retaliation in Lebanon] is an Iranian-backed militant Shiite faction which has a free hand in southern Lebanon...
