Drone Makers Push Congress to Move Up Domestic Deployment Date
The day of deployment is drawing nearer.

Government Spending is Sending us off the Cliff
by Ron Paul As the year draws to an end, America faces yet another Congressionally-manufactured crisis which will likely end in yet another 11th hour compromise, resulting in more government growth touted as “saving” the economy.

Using Tragedy for more Government Power
On FBN’s Varney & Co. yesterday morning, Judge Andrew Napolitano weighed in on the issue, saying that Costas and Whitlock have “no basis” for the conclusion that Belcher and Perkins would still be alive if he did not have access to a gun. “We all use steak knives to help us enjoy our meals, but [...]

Taxation and Forced Labor: What’s the Difference?

Nullification: As American as Baseball and Crackerjacks.
Secession: it’s the American way. After all, without secession, the U.S. would never be. We would still be a product of English imperialism. But that’s not what happened.

Do Elections Really Make a Difference?
The fact the Governor Perdue has made a decision to work with the Federal government to implement a federal-state healthcare exchange in North Carolina should come as no surprise.
