Shrink the State. End the Fed. Balance the budget. Make a profit. Leave an inheritance.

On Sunday morning, the CEO of the Associated Press called the Justice Department’s collecting of phone records of AP reporters “unconstitutional.” That it was unconstitutional is obvious. That Obama remains mute on this incident is not unconstitutional. It is political. What is significant is this: the CEO speaks for the entire media industry. They do [...]

The address was a judicious combination of platitudes, deception, code words, and a large dose of bloviation at the end. To bloviate is to give long speeches with high-flying words, yet communicate little. [...]

It is posted here: http://www.garynorth.com/public/8940.cfm. My opinions have not changed. I am convinced that there is a bond between [...]

He is falling behind daily on Intrade. Why not use these now? Militarized police. Drones. SWAT team raids. Suspect society. VIPR Strikes. Invasive surveillance technology. USA Patriot Act, NDAA. Schoolhouse to [...]

The Congressman contemptuously dismisses him. These people are contemptuous of voters. But should this be surprising? They are far more contemptuous of the Constitution. Video cameras are these [...]

As citizens grab their cell phones to make YouTube-ready copies of bureaucrats’ unconstitutional imposition of force, the bureaucrats are going on the defensive. There is a kind of cold war going on. Every time the bureaucrats impose new restrictions on cell phones, cell [...]

Back in 1956, a member of the Electoral College from Alabama was determined not to cast his vote for Adlai Stevenson. So he voted for Walter B. Jones, an Alabama judge. Therefore, Jones’ name is [...]

So great is the suffering, the judge determined, that the taxpayers of Massachusetts must pay for a sex-change operation. Incarcerated rapists in prisons around the nation are strongly [...]

It has only one obviously anti-free market provision: Public and private sector labor unions which have been under open attack by the government since the Reagan administration, by hostile anti-union private employers such as Wal-Mart, and more recently by some Republican governors. All the rest is straight Tea Party. [...]
