March Madness: GOP Stumbles Toward Ill-Advised Makeover
15-Apr-2013 | By William Moloney, Contributing Editor

The Telescope: The "Recessionals" – The Plight of America's Young Adults15-Apr-2013 | By Bob Beauprez, Editor-in-Chief
There's a word for taking something that someone else has earned – stealing….But, how different is it to deny someone the opportunity to earn what they otherwise might; to destroy or limit their chance to succeed? That is the plight of an entire generation of young Americans – and, it is just as wrong. | The Genius of Competitive Federalism15-Apr-2013 | By Gregory Schaller, Contributing Editor
The premise of competitive federalism is that when states make decisions concerning their tax and regulatory policies, there will be consequences and a response to these policies (whether good or bad)... The hope for competitive federalism is that states will learn from their mistakes while at the same time learning from the successes of other states. |
The Morality of Democratic Capitalism15-Apr-2013 | By Lawrence J. Fedewa, Contributing Editor
Rather than a tool for oppression of the masses, our version of capitalism offers the masses a relatively peaceful pathway to become as rich and powerful as each person wishes to become. Only in a democracy, however, can these human aspirations be attained. | The Moral Hazard of Over-Regulation15-Apr-2013 | By David Henderson, Contributing Editor
Culturally, we are growing so accustomed to governmental regulation of our lives that we are in danger of losing our innate capacity for self-determination – that is, our very freedom.

Discrimination in the workplace is the sorry exception, not the rule15-Apr-2013 | By Krista Kafer, Contributing Editor
Twenty some years ago I was fired for not sleeping with my boss. He never said as much but as I was propositioned and fired within 24 hours, I'm pretty sure there's a connection. Needless to say I found another job to get me through college. Eventually I graduated, headed east and forgot all about the incident. | David Black: Unlikely Political Entrepreneur15-Apr-2013 | By Allen Fuller, Contributing Editor
Being a successful political entrepreneur isn't about having all of the answers or the right background. It's about deciding to make a difference, creating a plan, and going about building a vision. It's about identifying a problem and developing a solution. It's about deciding to take action rather than waiting for someone else to step up. |
Gosnell and the Legacy Media15-Apr-2013 | By Rob Douglas, Contributing Editor
The lesson from the mainstream media's deliberate decision to not report the testimony from the Gosnell trial is that they have, once again, been exposed as a coordinated team of liberal advocates – not journalists. | Unions Harm Workers They Claim to Protect15-Apr-2013 | By Michelle Balch Lyng, Contributing Editor
After nearly 50 years with the same company and same union, my mother will retire later this year. I often think about how her life might have been easier had her union not had a stranglehold on her. |
Gun Control: Not Only Ineffective, It Infringes upon Individual Rights15-Apr-2013 | By Brian Anderson, Contributing Editor
Those who utilize common sense know that perpetrators of gun crimes are criminals. They disobey laws and, therefore, will disobey gun control measures to commit their violent crimes. | Searching for the Middle Ground on Brand vs. Generic Drugs15-Apr-2013 | By James R. Edwards, Contributing Editor
There's the rub. The Constitution provides for government-sanctioned recognition of an inventor's sole property right in his or her inventions. A patent grants an inventor a protected monopoly "for a limited time." Yet, a monopoly runs counter to a competitive market. |
