You may have seen the article in your local newspaper, unless of course you've been too busy to read the paper because you've been rummaging through old receipts and struggling with various tax equations in order to get your federal income taxes filed. Well, the message from Congress on paying…

The brazenness of governmental assaults on freedom of speech continues apace. In addition to “aggressive IRS scrutiny” of conservative groups, using campaign finance regulations to suppress speech, and FBI raids on homes of perpetrators of journalism, we are seeing government officials openly demand that private firms suppress speech. In September,…

“Scientist” — what an abused term! When a journalist needs an authority to write about some nutty, wildly improbable affront to common sense, a “scientist” will do. Case in point, turn to Newsweek: “Tanning salons are more likely to be located in U.S. neighborhoods with higher numbers of same-sex male…

One thing you can say about the political establishment in Washington is that at least they're consistent. They consistently ignore what the American people think.

Not spending millions more to hire and train swarms of Internal Revenue Service agents to poke, audit, investigate and squeeze more tax dollars from wealthier Americans would be — you knew this was coming — racist. That’s the new argument for siccing the IRS on wealthier Americans; they’re more likely…

On issues, politicians love to tell us how much they care, but they hate to tell us where they stand. Last year, Pat Toomey from Pennsylvania ran a different kind of campaign. No poll-driven, mushy sound bites. He didn't tell voters what they wanted to hear, but what he really…
