by Thomas Sowell. Why have elections? In a country with more than 300 million people, it is remarkable how obsessed the media have become with just one — Donald Trump. What is even more remarkable is that, after six years of repeated disasters, both domestically and internationally, under a glib egomaniac in the White House, so many potential ... MORE

Are Elections Held For The Purpose Of Venting Emotions?
by Thomas Sowell. Why have elections? In a country with more than 300 million people, it is remarkable how obsessed the media have become with just one — Donald Trump. What is even more remarkable is that, after six years of repeated disasters, both domestically and internationally, under a glib egomaniac in the White House, so many potential ... MORERand Paul To Attack Trump Over Eminent Domain Abuse
by Robby Soave. Donald Trump is no friend to private property owners. Vowing to recapture some of the enthusiasm his campaign has lost over the past few weeks, Sen. Rand Paul said he will focus on property issues and eminent domain abuse in order to make the case that Donald Trump is out of step with conservative Republican primary voters. ... MOREThomas Sowell: Sorting The Candidates
Finding the needle in the haystack. Despite a nuclear Iran looming on the horizon, the media seem to be
putting most of their attention on two candidates for their respective
parties' presidential nominations next year. Moreover, Hillary Clinton
and Donald Trump each make their own party nervous. If next year's election comes down to Clinton ... MORENick Gillespie: Ron Paul Endorses Rand
The "only one who is standing up for your liberty." Should the son inherit the votes of the father? Ron Paul, the former congressman and presidential candidate who sparked a libertarian "revolution" during his last two bids for the White House, is endorsing his son, Sen. Rand Paul, for president. In a letter that Paul campaign insiders say is "going out ... MORE
Andrew Napolitano: Chris Christie vs. Rand Paul
Or, King George vs. Thomas Jefferson. The dust-up between New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul over presidential fidelity to the Constitution – particularly the Fourth Amendment – was the most illuminating two minutes of the Republican debate last week. It is a well-regarded historical truism that the Fourth Amendment was ... MORELloyd Marcus: Why Liberals Are Dangerous
The emotion over reason advocates. The Left (liberal mainstream media) practically had a ticker tape parade for Ohio Gov. John Kasich for answers he gave on two issues during the GOP debate. Liberals' praise of Kasich shows they have chosen emotion over logical, reasoned thinking. This makes liberals irresponsible and dangerous. These people ... MOREFiscally Responsible Republican? Scott Walker To Commit $400 Million In Taxpayer Dollars For New NBA Stadium Deal
by Nick Gillespie. While ongoing reportage of the Donald Trump Traveling Tijuana Donkey Show crashes into the latest revelations from Hillary Clinton's Personal Email Server Fun Times Revue, there's a more pedestrian scandal taking place in plain sight. This one involves Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, who's running on
his tough-as-nails budget ... MORE
Jeb Argues Persuasively Why He Shouldn't Be Nominated
from American Thinker. Jeb Bush really wowed me with his announcement speech for President. For one thing, it was in English, and I didn't even have to press one to hear it that way. For another, Bush made a strong, passionate argument explaining why he should not be the nominee of the Republican Party, and I for one was totally ... MORE
Katherine Mangu-Ward: Why Don't Women Like Rand Paul?
A bad job of marketing liberty to women? Today at The New Republic, Jeet Heer asks why libertarians are mostly dudes,
inspired by Sen. Rand Paul's polling gender gap, which shows the
Kentucky Republitarian pulling 13 percent of the male primary vote and
only 2 percent of females: Why is Paul so unpopular among women? ... MORE
Brendan O'Neill: Meet The Vagina Voters
Voting for Hillary because she's a woman. "I intend to vote with my vagina." Have you ever read a more squirm-inducing sentence than that? It appeared in a pro-Hillary piece in Dame magazine, written by a person with a vagina who intends to vote for Clinton because she also has a vagina. Let's leave aside the unfortunate image conjured up by ... MOREJohn Stossel: The Next President
Why John Stossel endorses Rand Paul. It's not smart to get too enthusiastic about any politician. I've been disappointed often. I believed Bill Clinton when he said, "the era of big government is over." I thought George W. Bush was a "small government guy." And Barack Obama ... Well, never mind. If I want limited government and individual freedom, ... MOREThomas Sowell: Chaos In The Primaries
Rationality in politics is a formidable long shot. Painful as it is to realize that both the Democrats and the Republicans will still be holding their primaries a year from now, that is one of the high prices we pay for democracy. Seldom does the initial "front-runner" in either party's primaries end up being the actual candidate when election ... MOREBrian Doherty: Rand Paul Vs The Libertarians
Is libertarian-ish good enough? James Hohmann at Politico last week quotes me and some other people publicly associated with libertarianism
to discuss where Rand Paul the presidential candidate stands in
libertarian terms. His central thesis is that Paul is, in his own
self-framing, declaring himself at best (in libertarian terms) merely ... MORERand Paul Vows End Of NSA Spying 'On Day 1' Of Presidency
by Robby Soave. Taking back America. Rand Paul's campaign kickoff just concluded with a rousing speech by the libertarian-leaning U.S. senator from Kentucky in which he promised that his first act as president would be to stop the NSA's illegal spying on American citizens. He vowed to win the White House while clutching the Bill of Rights in one ... MORERand Paul Unveils Populist, Anti-Establishment Slogan
by Mike Allen. Sen. Rand Paul gave POLITICO a sneak peek at the slogan he will unveil at his presidential campaign announcement on Tuesday: “Defeat the Washington machine. Unleash the American dream.” The slogan, beneath the RAND PAC logo of a torch flame, will set the tone as the Kentucky Republican kicks off a five-day, five-state ... MORERand Paul Polling Ahead Of Hillary In Important Swing State
by Jana Benscoter. Pennsylvania is in play for its 2016 presidential election. Philadelphia has been the chosen location for the Democratic National Convention, and Democrats could have their work cut out for them to keep the state blue. On March 31, Pennsylvania Democrats posted on their website a delegate selection plan that allows for ... MORETed Cruz’s Presidential Campaign Launch: Good And Bad
by Craig Biddle. Senator Ted Cruz—who may prove to be the best (or least-bad) candidate America will see in the 2016 presidential race—just launched his campaign for the presidency in a markedly mixed way. He launched it at Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University and did so with additional pandering to the so-called “religious right” (which, in fact, is not ... MOREShane Goldmacher: Rand Paul’s Big, Risky Bet on Youth
Can appeal to the young win with the Grand OLD Party. When Sen. Rand Paul
makes his first visit to Iowa as an official presidential candidate
next month, he will head to the campus of the University of Iowa. The
location—one of the state's biggest liberal strongholds—seems unusual
for a Republican, but Paul is headed there in the hopes ... MORE
