…and its racist roots. Most “progressive” policies (e.g., the Wagner Act, Davis-Bacon) have racist roots.

Time For Holder To Resign
It’s long past time:
If all Holder has in defense of his performance and that of his Department of Justice is playing the race card in an attempt to bully his critics into silence, then he truly has no defense at all. With the families of 300 murder victims mourning deaths delivered by the ATF’s weaponry, dismissing criticism of Holder’s performance as attorney general as bigotry is not just despicable, it should be a disqualification for the office he holds.
So, let me get this straight. If I object to a coverup of a government policy that killed three hundred Mexicans, it’s because I’m racist?
Obama’s GM
Is he really going to run on this bailout? It may get him some votes in Michigan, but not much anywhere else.
The Knowledge Problem
Obama claims to have read Hayek, but I don’t believe it. Or if he did, he probably wasn’t capable of understanding it.
Totalitarian Grief

MF Global — How Could It Happen?
Light-Bulb Liberty
Idiotic arguments against it. This come from both a fundamental lack of understanding of both economics, and unintended consequences of good intentions.
North Versus South Korea
A natural controlled economic experiment. You can see the stark difference in satellite photos of the peninsula at night.
Chris Kraft Speaks
It’s time for NASA (and Congress) to get real:
So come on NASA, wake up! Take the lid off and turn loose the human resources you already have in place. Most of these bright people came to NASA excited about the future, about going back to the Moon to stay and becoming a part of what could be another renaissance in space.
Building a great big rocket is not a necessary expenditure at this time. In fact, the budget that will be consumed by this big rocket will prevent NASA from any meaningful human exploration for at least the next decade and probably beyond. We don’t have to march in place while we wait for the powers that be to cancel it. Let’s be innovative; let’s wake up the sleeping giant and have at returning to the Moon right now.
Unfortunately, NASA isn’t the problem.
