Victor Davis Hanson: The Art Of National Suicide
America can still avoid sharing Europe’s fate. But only if we take action. Because of what Europe has become, it now has few viable choices in dealing with radical Islamic terrorism. Its dilemma is a warning to Americans that we should turn away from a similar path of national suicide. After suffering serial terrorist attacks from foreign ... MOREVIDEO: Barack Obama Does Not Prefer Capitalism Over Communism And Argues That Neither Should You
No wonder America is economically floundering.
“National Purposes” Versus Individual Rights
by Richard M. Ebeling. With the seventieth anniversary last year of the end of the Second World War, a number of commentators have focused on the presumed “unity” of America seven decades ago to “win the war” against global tyranny and international aggression by Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. Individuals put aside their individual personal ... MORERobert Evans: A Cautionary Tale Of Socialism
My wealthy country became a dystopia overnight. We like apocalypse fantasies because a part of us thinks it would be kind of fun. No bills to pay, no job to drag yourself to -- life goes back to basics. You don't watch The Hunger Games and really think about what it would be like to have a toothache or yeast infection you can't treat. And you ... MOREChris Johncox: Sweden Is Upgrading to Private Healthcare
Sweden’s trademark universal healthcare on its deathbed. When leftists fantasize about Northern Europe, the first thing they
think of is the region’s enormous public spending and its overly
generous welfare state. However, as with all dreams, the time is coming
to wake up. Along with several other social services, Sweden’s iconic
“free” ... MOREWalter E Williams: Gullible Americans
The willingness to buy a pig in a poke. Jonathan Swift, satirist, essayist and political pamphleteer, is a favorite of mine. He wrote "Gulliver's Travels." One of Gulliver's voyages was to Laputa, where he visited the grand academy of Lagado, whose scientists have visions not unlike today's politicians who exploit mankind's gullibility. Before ... MOREThomas Sowell: The Lure Of Socialism
All that glitters is not gold. Many people of mature years are amazed at how many young people have voted for Senator Bernie Sanders, and are enthusiastic about the socialism he preaches. Many of those older people have lived long enough to have seen socialism fail, time and again, in countries around the world. Venezuela, with all its rich oil ... MORESocialism At Work: Venezuela Has Run Out Of Food
by Frances Martel. Venezuela’s opposition legislature has declared a “nutritional emergency,” proclaiming that the country simply does not have enough food to feed its population. The move comes after years of socialist rationing and shortages that forced millions to wait on lines lasting as long as six hours for a pint of milk, a bag of flour, ... MOREBad News: Millennials Prefer Socialism Over Capitalism
by Katie Pavlich. America's largest generation. When socialist Bernie Sanders beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in a
landslide Tuesday in New Hampshire, he crushed her among young voters by
a whopping 83 percent. Sander's message of "income inequality" (Hillary has one too, but her Wall Street ties and personal wealth make it transparent) ... MOREThomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene
Musings of a wise man. Will this November's presidential election come down to a choice between a felon and a pied piper? People who call Barack Obama a lame duck president seem not to have noticed that he is exercising more power than ever, and has turned the Republican Congress into a lame duck branch of government. The best New Year's ... MOREMichael J. Hurd: The Psychological Cost Of Socialism
Ruining lives of the poor. Bernie Sanders is an outwardly socialist candidate running for president who might actually get somewhere. In some polls, he’s neck-and-neck with Hillary Clinton for his party’s nomination. No, he will probably not get the nomination in the end. But he could, and he’s having an impact on his party. Thanks in part to ... MOREIndividualism Is Battling The Politically Managed Mind
by Richard Ebeling. Eroding the freedom to choose. Wherever we turn we are confronted with politicians, political pundits, television talking heads, and editorial page commentators, all of whom offer an array of plans, programs, and projects that will solve the problems of the world – if only government is given the power and authority to remake ...
