Call it the kind face of fascism. A Chicago public school is banning lunches that are brought from home. Why? Because the arrogant food-cop Principal at Little Village Academy thinks that kids and their parents can’t make “healthy” decisions on what food to consume: Principal Elsa Carmona said her intention is to protect students from their own unhealthful food choices.

By Adam Bitely – It is entirely possible for the government to turn off the Internet. Don’t believe it? Just look at what happened in Egypt. Last week after protests began against the dictatorial government of Egypt, the Egyptian government under the order of the President Mubarak ordered that the Internet be turned off. And that is exactly what happened. [...]

By Howard Rich – Over the last decade, America’s leaders chose to address the unsustainable growth of an already bloated federal government by spending unprecedented amounts of borrowed money. First there was George W. Bush’s “compassionate conservatism,” a wholesale abandonment of the Republican view of limited government that quickly turned surpluses into deficits – and independent voters into Democrats.

If you’re a Virginia resident, you might soon be handing over two dimes for one plastic bag. Why? Because Virginia House of Delegates member Joseph Morrissey thinks this new plastic [...]

By Bill Wilson – It has all taken such a sad and predictable course. A mentally deranged individual commits an act of unspeakable violence. Within minutes the professional Left starts efforts to place blame on conservatives and Republicans, piously demanding some solution that — surprise — gives them tactical advantage in future policy fights. Let’s call it for what it [...]

By David Bozeman – One takes scant pleasure in defending the tobacco industry, but the pertinent question, now more than ever, is how much latitude will a freedom-loving people grant its government to tax, regulate, demonize, harass and suck the life out of a sector of our economy that is STILL LEGAL? The FDA is currently considering a ban on [...]

By Rebekah Rast – You’ve heard the horror stories: pat-downs that err on the side of groping, body scanners that allow another to see you — all of you, even of children and babies being searched and scanned. But remember, as the government assures us, as you prepare to fly to your holiday destination this season, this screening is for [...]

By Adam Bitely – The Obama administration has not been known as the most “business friendly” group. With taxes rising on small and and large business owners, Health Care mandates, and the Department of Labor running wild with regulations, it is no surprise that the unemployment rate has remained at 9.6% for such a long period of time. There is [...]
