To avoid "another Enron," President George W. Bush proposes measures to "help" workers to protect their 401(k) money. Under Bush's proposals, companies must allow workers, if they choose, to sell company stock after three years, a shorter period than many current...
Murderous thugs of the world, rejoice. Once again, Ramsey Clark has come to your aid -- whether you want him to or not. Now, if only Clark would permanently move himself and his "Terrorists 'R Us" law practice to a sand dune outpost in Kandahar, we'd all have...
Do you support our government's actions for the attacks of 9-11? Can you explain why or why not, with reasonable precision? In particular, can a follower of Jesus provide a consistent argument for supporting military strikes against the terrorists? Certainly not by...
Q: How are people coping with the aftermath of the events of September 11th, so that the psychological impact of the terrorist events does not overwhelm them? A: In many different ways. At first, some found an oddly kind of pleasant escape in focusing on events in the...
In a demonstration that the more things change, the more they remain the same, Senator Ted Kennedy called last week for expanding the public sector at the expense of the private one. His speech at the National Press Club in Washington drew a lot of media attention --...
From a FoxNews.com report: Shackled, blinded and bound, 30 Al Qaeda and Taliban detainees stepped off a U.S. Air Force C-141 cargo plane in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Wednesday after an all-night flight from Afghanistan, halfway around the world. Sixty gun-toting Marines...
Diversity is simultaneously an important and contemptible term in today's climate of political correctness. According to Merriam Webster's Dictionary, diversity means: diverseness, multeity, multifariousness, multiformity, multiplicity, variousness. Its related words...
This month, sandwiched somewhere in between Britney Spears' videos, Trojan condom ads, booze-drenched Mardi Gras parties, soft-porn soap operas, and reruns of vulgar stunt shows, MTV will broadcast a "global town meeting" featuring Secretary of State Colin Powell....
"Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe wants to appear on your show," my producer excitedly told me. A staffer of the DNC chairman called -- not once, but three times -- to arrange the chairman's appearance on my radio show during a swing through...
A few weeks ago, many liberals were crowing that the War on Terrorism had forced the Bush administration to abandon "isolationism" and embrace "globalism" by seeking out an international coalition. This is part of an effort to make independent, "unilateral" action by...
Addressing the World Economic Forum meeting in New York last week, Microsoft founder Bill Gates said, "I think it's a healthy sign that there are demonstrators in the streets. They are raising the question of 'is the rich world giving back enough?' " Almost...
Too many people who talk about a lack of "affordable housing" seem to think that this is something the government must build or subsidize. It never seems to occur to them that government activity is itself one of the biggest reasons for housing being unaffordable. Nor...
President George Bush's State of the Union address told us that legislation passed, expenditures made and troops deployed are just the beginning of our war on terrorism. But shouldn't we begin to confront the hard-minded question: How much should we "sacrifice" and...
The United States should not be fighting for a democratic Afghanistan. In fact, it should not be fighting for democracy at all--not in Afghanistan, not in China, and not even in America. Democracy and dictatorship are not rivals; they are brothers. In Afghanistan, the...
SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, R-Ariz., makes a lot of political hay portraying himself as the hero for campaign finance reform and against influence-peddling. He's for restrictions on the "soft money" millions that flow into the campaign coffers of the Republican and Democratic...
The newest source of tension in the increasingly strained Saudi-American relationship is the revelation that nearly two-thirds of the 158 Al Qaeda terrorists being held at Guantanamo are citizens of Saudi Arabia. Prince Nayef, the Saudi interior minister, is demanding...
The House Republican leadership announced that on Wednesday, February 13, 2002 campaign finance regulation legislation will be brought to the floor for a vote. A similar bill has already passed in the Senate and if passed by the House, this legislation threatens a...
One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce, and canonized those who complain. Sometimes it seems as if love songs are being replaced by sex songs. I am going to stop procrastinating -- one of...
"The shift from personal autonomy to dependence on government is perhaps the defining characteristic of modern American politics. In the span of barely one lifetime, a nation grounded in ideals of individual liberty has been transformed into one in which federal...
Though he has pledged to defend America's freedom against terrorists, President Bush, in his State of the Union address, gave his unequivocal support to a different threat against our way of life: the "national service" movement. Adding his voice to the chorus of...
America's war policy faces a deadly roadblock. The problem is partly the recalcitrance of our so-called allies, from the quavering Europeans to the increasingly hostile Saudis. Most of our "coalition" wants us to declare victory in Afghanistan and go home. They want...
Time for a quick pop quiz. Can you identify the speaker? "Today, and for generations to come, America will benefit from this law, which expresses our national commitment to quality education for all children." President Bush, who just signed a highly touted education...
"But when I am the stronger, I shall persecute you; for it is my duty to persecute error." -- Lord Macaulay A scoop from Pat Buchanan: America has an established religion. No, it's not Christianity, to his excruciating frustration -- it's atheism. And not just atheism...
As if New Yorkers don't already have enough to deal with, they must now brace for the arrival of pie-throwing, critter-liberating, bomb-building, arson-setting, spell-casting, utensil-stealing cop-haters wearing giant puppet heads. This disruptive freak show will...
