Robert Scheer: Keeping Afghanistan safe from democracy
The most idiotic thing being said about America's involvement in Afghanistan is that the best way to protect the 68,000 U.S. troops there now is by putting an additional 40,000 in harm's way. People who argue for that plan clearly have not read... Full story
Thomas Sowell: The 'costs' of medical care
We are incessantly being told that the cost of medical care is "too high" – either absolutely or as a growing percentage of our incomes. But nothing that is being proposed by the government is likely to lower those costs, and much that is... Full story
Ron Hart: More tales about the ‘Drunkle’
It is time I stop railing at politicians and start making fun of my family again. According to focus groups reading my upcoming book, my Uncle Mac seems to be someone about whom folks want to hear more. It seems everyone but my family wants me to... Full story

Thomas D. Elias: Move to keep illegals out of census just plain dumb

John Stossel: Self-governance really does work
