Ted Nugent is Right: The Regulatory Beast is Rampaging Out of Control
In an editorial in the Washington Times, rock ‘n roller and Secret Service target Ted Nugent argues that our elected officials have gone overboard with their zeal to regulate every aspect of our lives. Always done with the best of intentions, and to protect stupid people from themselves, regulatory bloat is squashing liberty: you can’t [...]
Zero-Tolerance Patrol: NO HUGGING!
Apparently, giving your teacher a hug to thank her is an infraction worthy of suspension. From CBS Charlotte: A North Carolina middle school student has been suspended for hugging a teacher.

Mob Rule Wins the Day: George Zimmerman to be Charged in Martin Case
They aren’t saying with what, yet, but that’s really immaterial here. The race hustlers and pressure from the Obama administration (through the threats of Eric Holder) made sure that the “special” prosecutor had to do something. Now, we’ll have a show trial, and when he’s found not guilty (for the same reasons they didn’t charge [...]
Q1 Chicago Homicides Up 57% Over Last Year. Liberal Idiots Continue to Insist Gun Control Laws Deter Crime
The cause of 82% of those murders is listed as “gunshot.” Doesn’t Chicago have some of the toughest gun ownership restrictions in the country (yeah, the Supreme Court struck down their ban, but it’s still very hard to get a permit)? Didn’t former Mayor Richard Daley say “When the wrong people have access to guns, [...]
Constitution? What Constitution?
A sampling of the constitutional knowledge held by our esteemed elected representatives (these all happen to be Democrats -to prove a point, I’m sure – wonder how many Republicans share the same views?), demonstrated when asked if there was authority in the Constitution for them to pass Obamacare. From The Volokh Conspiracy, via Coyote Blog [...]

Reason’s Nanny of the Month: Michael “No Synagogue Bagels for the Homeless” Bloomberg
I wrote about this a week or so ago. Super Nanny Mike Bloomberg, Mayor of NYC, has banned synagogues from donating food (something they’ve done for years) to homeless shelters, because they can’t accurately gauge the salt and fat content of these offerings. No kidding. Reason TV has awarded Mike their Nanny of the Month:
Mark Levin: We’re Being Ruled by the Dumbest People in the Country
He’s speaking, in this instance, of Nancy Pelosi. The erstwhile Speaker of the House of Representatives stood on the floor of the House the other day, and said these words in reference to ObamaCare: This is what our founders had in mind–ever expanding opportunity for people. You want to be a photographer or a writer [...]
Nanny-State Nightmares: No More Synagogue Food for the Homeless in NYC
Looks like Mr. “No Salt for You” Mike Bloomberg has levied another dietary edict on the folks of New York City. Bloomberg tried to enforce a rule that would prevent food stamp users from purchasing sugary drinks.

The Path to Prosperity: We Still Have a Chance to Change Course
In advance of the formal release of the House GOP’s budget proposal, Paul Ryan makes another pitch for the path to prosperity. Sure, it’lll pass the House, but with Harry Reid calling the shots in the Senate (and since the Dems haven’t bothered to propose a budget in three years), it won’t get far.
“I Want a Center-Right Nation to Fight for Its Soul”
To me, these were the pivotal words of this 2011 Uncommon Knowledge interview with Andrew Breitbart, called “Media War.” Breitbart talks about his conversion from liberal to conservative, and about his desire to “destroy the liberal media complex as we know it.” Alas, he died too soon, but enough people got the message to continue [...]
