How the Liberal/Progressive Vision of Society Is Incredibly Myopic
by Walter E. Williams | October 21, 2015, 6:40 PM

Here's my question to you: If an evil person is guaranteed that he can inflict physical pain upon others and guaranteed to never suffer pain himself, what happens to his willingness to inflict pain? You say, "What do you mean, Williams?" OK, I will make my question more concrete. Suppose a young punk knows that he can knock out an innocent person and never suffer physical pain himself, such as being knocked out; what happens to his willingness to play the knockout game?

What to Expect from the Nov. 9 Obama-Netanyahu Meeting
by Cal Thomas | October 20, 2015, 9:44 PM

When President Obama meets in Washington November 9 with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, I would imagine Netanyahu's main concern will be to find out exactly what the U.S. means by "infringement" as it applies to the Iran nuclear agreement. What exactly will the U.S. do when, not if, Iran violates the deal? What if Israel and the U.S. disagree as to whether there has been a violation?

Hillary's Corruption Could Be Fatal to Our Republic
by R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. | October 15, 2015, 1:00 PM

WASHINGTON — Here we are again with Hillary Rodham Clinton confronted by charges of obstruction of justice, perjury and general improbity. Such behavior has been going on with her for a long time.

Obama Lied, My Health Plan Died... TWICE!

It's deja screwed all over again.

In the fall of 2013, our family received notice from Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Colorado that we could no longer keep our private health insurance plan because of "changes from health care reform (also called the Affordable Care Act or ACA)." 

The Dems Debate: Nothing New
by Cal Thomas | October 14, 2015, 8:54 PM

Watching the Democratic candidates’ presidential debate Tuesday night one might think a Republican has been in the White House since 2009. These political Lilliputians could find little to say that was positive. The economy is bad, too many people aren’t working (whose fault is that?), we should spend trillions more we don’t have because everything we’re spending now isn’t producing results. Memo to Democrats: If your policies are failing, try something different.

The Media's Latest Phony Attack on Ben Carson
by David Limbaugh | October 10, 2015, 8:41 PM

How about the next time the mainstream media decide to fabricate a controversy against a conservative presidential candidate, they choose something less laughable?

The media's latest faux gasp concerns Dr. Ben Carson's comments about the Oregon school shooting. When I first watched news reports on it, I didn't immediately grasp the reason for the fuss, not having the artificial sensibilities of the MSM.

The Left's Latest Effort to Suppress Free Speech: Claim It's Racketeering
by Walter E. Williams | October 7, 2015, 4:51 PM

I receive loads of mail in response to my weekly nationally syndicated column. Some recent mail has been quite disturbing.

Here's a sample: "Given your support of freedom on a great many issues, I wish to bring to your attention the following George Mason University staff who have formally called on the President to use RICO statutes to punish organizations and individuals who dispute the 'consensus' of the" Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Is Liberal Reasoning Idiotic or Just Plain Dishonest?
by Walter E. Williams | September 25, 2015, 6:31 PM

Many people argue that liberals, socialists and progressives do not understand basic economics. I am not totally convinced about that.
