The Republican-controlled Texas state senate last week passed SB 16, which if made law would require women thinking of aborting their pregnancy to first perform a sonogram. Texas law already requires, unjustly I believe, a 24-hour waiting period before an abortion could be performed by a licensed physician. This new legislation would dictate what [...]
Concerning the protests against then-Egyptian ruler Hosni Mubarak, Barack Obama released a supportive statement on Jan. 28 addressing the popular revolt that eventually led to Mubarak’s ousting.
Obama expressed that the “people of Egypt have rights that are universal.” Later, he added, “Violence will not address the grievances of the Egyptian people. And suppressing ideas [...]
The constitution was written by men over 200 years ago to reflect their own interests at the time. Along with a deeper understanding of the natural world, people today have different interests and different values (along with not being sexist racists).
So what should chaining ourselves to a 220-plus-year-old political compromise between Northern protectionist merchants [...]
If authority is the willingness and ability to command obedience to one’s will, authoritarianism would be a belief that someone is superior in some manner (ethically, politically, ect.) because he or she has such authority.
Since government, as popularly constructed, is given the sole discretion of interpreting and enforcing the law, even in conflicts between [...]
Conservatives are getting into a big huff about Washington Post columnist Ezra Klein telling the truth about the United States Constitution. For all the talk about the constitution clearly setting forth limited, enumerated powers for the central government, that is hardly the case.
As some people would like to think the framers of the [...]

We were there from 10 a.m. until just after noon. From what I [...]
In her own way, commentator Diana Wong [above] made some good points about Rand Paul. [Note: I encourage everyone first to watch to the video, which was also uploaded to YouTube; otherwise, this response might not make sense. The title for the video apparently comes from another video posted by Lyndon LaRouche [...]

Explaining Why Taxation Is Theft
I recently saw a video clip of Michael Moore calling other people’s money “a national resource.” I have to agree that in some cases other people’s money is not truly their own. For example, the wealth of Moore and others who benefit from government privileges, in Moore’s case intellectual property laws, would belong [...]
