Thomas Sowell:
Who Is 'Racist'?: Part II
Around this time of year, I sometimes hear from parents who have been appalled to learn that the child they sent away to college
to become educated has instead been indoctrinated with the creed of the
left. They often ask if I can suggest something to have their offspring
read over the summer, in order to counteract this indoctrination.
Mike Adams:
The Old Rubber Cross
As a supporter of Hilltoppers for Life, I am deeply concerned at the way its pro-life display was vandalized on April 20, 2012.
Michael Barone:
Obama Losing Rock-star Status Among Young Voters
Last week, Barack Obama delivered speeches at
universities in Chapel Hill, N.C., Iowa City, Iowa, and Boulder, Colo.
The trip was, press secretary Jay Carney assured us, official government
business, not political campaigning.
John Ransom:
New York Times Outs Apple, Enemy of the People, on Tax “Sidestep”
Ok, sure Apple
paid an effective world wide tax rate of 24.2 percent on their profits
in 2011, which, yeah, is more than Obama’s effective tax rate of 20.5
percent for the year. But here’s the difference between Obama’s tax rate
and Apple’s: Liberals want to tax success in this country.
Star Parker:
How to Keep the Poor Poor
Media personality Tavis Smiley and Princeton
philosophy professor Cornell West have just published their latest
contribution to American poverty propaganda, “The Rich and the Rest of Us: A Poverty Manifesto.”
Katie Kieffer:
Why Your Doctor Secretly Hates Obamacare
Your doctor won’t tell you this when you’re sitting
in his office, so I will: He hates Obamacare. It’s time you know why
your doctor is concerned about Obamacare.
Lisa De Pasquale:
De Pasquale’s Dozen with Dana Loesch
Over the years I’ve noticed that converts to the
conservative cause seem to make the most effective leaders -- Andrew
Breitbart, David Horowitz, Anita MonCrief, Eric Metaxas and Mike Adams,
just to name a few. Talk radio host and tea party leader Dana Loesch
was a registered Democrat for many years.
Lurita Doan:
Obama Has Already Lost
On April 30th in 1789, at Federal Hall in New York
City, George Washington took the oath of office to become the first
president of the United States. He took that oath amidst a widespread
surge of popularity and consensual respect that has yet to be replicated
in any subsequent presidential election in this country.
Bruce Bialosky:
And They Want To Run Health Care
Many people are ever suspicious of the private sector
and fervently believe that government should control certain segments
of our economy. This wishful (and delusional) thinking is most prevalent
in the health care industry, where the left regrets not having passed a single-payer (government-controlled) system instead of ObamaCare.
Brian Darling:
An Offense Against Free Market Capitalism: The Export-Import Bank
A 1932 creation of President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
the Export-Import Bank was meant to facilitate trade between the United
States and other nations.
Rich Galen:
Saucy Apple
According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple (neƩ
Apple Computer) "is the most valuable company" in the world. On the
heels of its quarterly report last week, stock in Apple reached nearly
$620 per share before settling back to end the week at $602.
Daniel J. Mitchell:
When Hugo Chavez Battles Supply and Demand Curves, Guess What Happens?
Haiti may be the poorest nation in the Americas. Cuba
may have the dictator with the longest lifespan. But Venezuela arguably
has the worst government.
Michael Brown:
The SPLC Fails the Intelligence Test
What do you call an organization whose so-called
intelligence reports are sometimes an insult to intelligence, an
organization that brands some groups “hate groups” and yet, using its
own criteria, should itself be branded a hate group? You call that
organization the SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center). The scary thing is
that many people still take them seriously.
Charles Payne:
Illegals Immigrating Back to Mexico
Many norms such as our AAA credit rating and Mexican-born immigrants leaving the United States are two things nobody ever imagined possible just a couple years ago.
Dan Holler:
Leaderless in Washington
As Americans search for answers, it is increasingly
clear that they cannot look toward Washington for leadership. Those who
inhabit Washington can tinker with our economy for the next decade and
it will do little to help you make ends meet, sell your home, find a
better job or fill up your tank. In fact, it will probably make things
worse.
Mike Shedlock:
"Flying Piano" Costs Pentagon $1.5 Trillion
The F-35 program deserves to be scrapped because of
cost overruns, inept design specs, and poor test results. Yet 3,650
union ingrates were arrogant enough to walk off the job demanding still
more money to build this boondoggle.
David Sterman:
Get These 3 Stocks for Less than What Insiders Paid
Insiders are often lousy market timers. They tend to
acquire shares after a stock has lost a lot of value (even as they think
the company's operating outlook remains bright). In many instances, the
selling pressure isn't yet finished, and these insiders simply jumped
in too soon.
Jeff Carter:
An Ode to Elizabeth Warren
If you haven’t followed the election in
Massachusetts, you are missing some pretty good pandering. Democratic
Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren has gone deep off the reservation in a
matter of speaking. She has tried to curry favor saying she is
Cherokee.
Craig Steiner:
Popping the Student Loan Bubble
As the government has become increasingly involved,
tuition rates at colleges and universities have skyrocketed. It has
been deemed that “investing in our children” and graduating as many
students as possible from universities is in the national interest.
Michael Tanner:
Still a Better Deal: Private Investment vs. Social Security
Cato Senior Fellow Michael Tanner demonstrates that
actual investment returns over the past 40 years show that a system of
private investment will, in fact, provide significantly higher rates of
return than the current Social Security system.
Chris Poindexter:
Gold Bounces Back
Gold ended the week at the high end of its range and
whether it goes up or down from here depends on why it went down last
week.
Mark Baisley:
What's Wrong with CISPA
Given the history of the Obama machine with its
Attack Watch website that asked citizens to report “enemies” of his
policies and positions, I can understand the paranoia about CISPA being
another citizen-on-citizen spy task force.
Cathy Ruse:
Pelosi’s Constitutional Confusion
It’s frustrating to watch high-ranking Liberals get something so fundamental, so wrong.
Earl Tilford:
Lessons Not Learned From Vietnam
After the fall of Saigon on April 29, 1975, military
and civilian strategists sought “lessons learned.” Many were tactical or
technical, such as the operational effectiveness of precision-guided
munitions and the continuing need for guns on jet fighters. At the
strategic level, one pundit recommended that the United States never
again fight in a former French colony located on the other side of the
world with borders contiguous to enemy sources of supply governed by an
ally of dubious political legitimacy.
Demetrius Minor:
America’s Much-Needed Liberation From Government
In the time and age of economic peril, we have seen
many people lose hope, faith and trust. Many Americans have seen their
investments and their financial security totally collapse. While the
government is looking for solutions to combat this economic warfare, I
believe the answer is simple: Americans need to decrease their
dependence on the government.
