Where are the feminists outraged by the Brandeis decision?
Statistical Frauds: War on Women
The “war on women” political slogan is in fact a war against common sense.
Minimum Wage Laws are Immoral
The government has no business in dictating voluntary trade between employers and employees. The minimum wage laws are immoral and should be abolished, leaving businesses and workers free to prosper.
Sex and Race Equality
Should we insist upon equal treatment of people by race and sex or tolerate differences in treatment?
War on Women
It’s fine if dance and art groups are mostly women, but if athletic teams are too male, lawsuits follow.
Governed by Rules, Not Men
Who’s in office is making a difference, because government has abandoned its referee and night watchman function and gotten into the business of determining winners and losers.
Freedom Is Not Free
As long as millions of Americans vote on the basis of who gives them free stuff, look for their freedom — and all our freedom — to be eroded away, bit by bit.
FCC “Study” vs. the First Amendment
ending federal bureaucrats to meddle in newsroom affairs by conducting an alleged “study” will chill news coverage and make government-licensed broadcast media think twice about airing stories that place the Obama administration in a bad light.

Oprah’s Hate Speech
Emotional charges of racism? What a convenient way to escape defense of your own flawed viewpoints.
ObamaCare Phase Two: Point the Gun at Your Doctor

Rescuing BlackBerry?
The latter, nationalistic motive of buying BlackBerry or any other company is misguided.
Freedom of Speech vs. Embarrassing The Government
A federal employee decides to write a book on his knowledge of a known government scandal. After signing a book contract with a major publisher, the book deal is subsequently forbidden—by the government. Does this sound like a George Orwell novel? Or an Ayn Rand work...
