Peter Schiff: The Death Of A Patriot
Crushed for what he believed in. My father Irwin A. Schiff was born Feb. 23rd 1928, the 8th child and only son of Jewish immigrants, who had crossed the Atlantic twenty years earlier in search of freedom. As a result of their hope and courage my father was fortunate to have been born into the freest nation in the history of the world. But when ... MOREWhy These "Libertarianism-Is-Over” Stories Are Dumb
by Jack Hunter. I’ve been asked about these types of articles a few times now. Earlier this month, Fox News published “The collapse of Rand Paul and the libertarian moment that never was,” by Jerry Taylor, president of the Niskanen Center, a Washington, DC think tank. Taylor wrote, “If there were any significant support for Libertarian ... MOREJoel Valenzuela: Millennials Have A New American Dream
Experience over possession. A house in the suburbs with a white picket fence. A couple of kids and a couple of pets. A well-paying full-time job. Retirement. The old American Dream, the picture of success to which we once aspired, is dead. There’s a new dream now, and it’s far less lofty. The perpetual recession has not gone away. Sure, in some ways ... MOREBrendan O'Neill: Contempt For Free Speech - Why Are Students Cheering About The Massacre At Charlie Hebdo?
The sad decline of American principles. I witnessed something genuinely
disturbing at Trinity College Dublin last night: trendy, middle-class,
liberal students cheering and whooping a man who had just given the
closest thing I have yet heard to a justification for the massacre at Charlie Hebdo. It was as part of a debate on the right
to offend. I was ... MORECraig Dunkley: 25 Ways To Be A Real Man
Modern men have lost sight of what's real. In its Men's Style section, The New York Times recently published a somewhat ridiculous, liberalism-infused article entitled "27 Ways to Be a Modern Man." While a few of the 27 ways made some sense, many of them were so soft-handed and weak that one wonders if the article was meant as a joke. ... MOREWhitney Neal: Igniting A Passion For Liberty
Through classroom engagement. While initially penned on parchment paper, the Constitution transcends time and technology to remain one of the most influential and inspirational documents in the history of the world. Issues debated in Philadelphia by the Founders are still argued in the halls of Congress with a vigor and passion ... MOREStephanie Slade: Why I Am A Pro-Life Libertarian
LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. There's a belief on the American left that says it's impossible to be
both a principled libertarian and a principled pro-lifer—that the two
positions are somehow intellectually incompatible. It's been popping up
more often lately as liberal writers look for ways to criticize Sen.
Rand Paul, as in ... MOREPragmatism Is Impractical In The Long Run
by Jaana Woiceshyn. Pragmatism—compromising principles to achieve goals—is prevalent not just among politicians (think of President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran). It is also a common hazard among business people, many of whom think that to succeed in business you have to compromise principles. It’s OK to compromise honesty and fake a little, ... MORE110 Year-Old Case Still Inspires Supreme Court Debates
by George Will. What potential nominees should be asked. Today's most interesting debate about governance concerns a 110-year-old Supreme Court decision. Two participants in this debate are the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and a justice on the Supreme Court of Texas. The latter is trouncing the former. In his same-sex ... MOREEd Feulner: 'We The People'
Are we up to the challenge of self-government? “We the People.” We’ve heard that phrase so often it’s easy to overlook its significance. But as we mark our nation’s birthday, we should take a moment to ask ourselves: What is the role of the people? Our nation is unique because of its universal founding principles. At the heart ...

Mallory Millett: Why I Love 'Hate Speech'
I love Pamela Geller. I have known and loved her for years. She is a great American! If only everyone who has the honor of calling himself American could grow courage like hers we would be un-terrorizable as a nation. Pamela gets that we are at war and stands as an example for those of us who have lost our way. Many of you under fifty have ... MOREBaltimore’s Missing Fathers
by Ken Blackwell and Rob Schwarzwalder. The rioting in Baltimore is disturbing to all Americans, as the unresolved cause of Freddie Gray’s death while in police custody should be as well. It is right that political and religious leaders, community groups, business organizations and law enforcement officials are commenting about all the ... MOREManny Pacquiao Perpetrates Fraud, Commits Perjury In Order To Cash In On Huge Payday, Risks Disciplinary Action
We expect politicians to lie, but boxers? Manny Pacquiao faces a potential lawsuit after failing to disclose a shoulder injury before his defeat by Floyd Mayweather. Pacquiao will spend up to a year on the sidelines as he prepares to undergo surgery on his torn rotator cuff, an injury he suffered in training. But the Filipino star could also be ... MORE
