For the past couple of weeks, Fox News White House reporter Major Garrett has been trying to get flack Robert Gibbs to confirm or deny Rep. Joe Sestak’s claim that he was offered a job (allegedly Secretary of the Navy) in return for dropping out of his primary challenge against incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter. Such […]
Economist Walter E. Williams has a succinct piece on the nature of fundamental human rights. Guess what? Health care and Internet access aren’t among them. True rights, such as those in our Constitution, or those considered to be natural or human rights, exist simultaneously among people. That means exercise of a right by one person […]
Fox News talker Glenn Beck has drawn the ire of some on the Christian left after calling on people who attend churches that preach “social justice” to leave that church. The Rev.
