Americans may be less safe today because the Obama administration made the decision to circumvent the Constitutional treaty ratification process by mandating that his administration would begin compliance with Article 75 of Additional Protocol I (API) to the 1949 Geneva Conventions “out of a sense of moral obligation.”
API, an unsanctioned addition to the Geneva Convention that was unequivocally rejected by previous administrations, outlines fundamental rights or guarantees for captives taken … Read the Rest of this Post

As both a capitalist and a taxpayer, news of recent antics by General Electric (G.E.) made me wince.
That’s because G.E.’s actions are practically begging the usual suspects to ramp up their protests against “evil corporations.”
According to the New York Times, G.E. – despite making a $5.1 billion profit in the United States in 2010 – paid no federal income tax and actually received a $3.2 billion tax credit to … Read the Rest of this Post

“Although President Obama ran on campaign vows of reinstating the assault weapons ban and closing the gun-show loophole…he’s been all but mute on those issues since entering the White House.” So laments the writer of a post-Tucson article in The Hill. The author is not alone in his belief that Obama has betrayed the Left by apparently abandoning his gun-grabbing ways. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence gave him … Read the Rest of this Post

Editorial note: This satirical ObamaCare commercial was put out by FreedomFest, which the Washington Post is calling “the greatest libertarian show on earth,” and I’m one of the speakers there. I wouldn’t miss it for the world, and neither should you: www.freedomfest.com, or call 1-866-266-5101. -Floyd

Anyone seeking to know why Barack Obama really committed U.S. troops to Libya’s civil war can begin by dismissing virtually everything he said in his speech Monday night out of hand. For instance, Obama claimed he initiated this military action for humanitarian reasons. Failing “our responsibilities to our fellow human beings…would have been a betrayal of who we are,” he said. “Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to … Read the Rest of this Post

As a conservative, I am appalled by the “leadership” of the Republican Party. In spite of voters’ crystal-clear message in the last elections, which only the willfully blind could miss, they are charging ahead with Business as Usual. For all his tough conservative talk, Sun-tan Boehner might as well be a Democrat when it comes to action. Socialist ObamaCare and the Democrat’s addiction to borrowing and spending have nothing to fear, … Read the Rest of this Post

What’s even more absurd and futile than going to war to spread democracy and advance human rights? Intervention to stop regimes from “killing their own people.”
This is the sole rationale offered for Obama’s Libya excursion (Operation Odyssey Dawn even sounds like a Carnival Cruise ship) – to keep a tyrant from killing his own people.
British Prime Minister David Cameron declares: “Colonel Gaddafi has made this happen. We can not … Read the Rest of this Post
