According to the White House Commission on Remembrance, Americans are supposed to take a moment to "honor those who have died in the cause of freedom."  I completely concur.  We should definitely stop for a moment, and reflect on those who have died in the name of freedom today.  Unfortunately, I don't know or don't think I could pronounce the hundreds of thousands of Korean names, the two

As reported by CNNmoney.com senior writer Chris Isidore, Chrysler LLC will not repay U.S. taxpayers more than $7 billion in bailout money it received earlier this year as part of its bankruptcy filing.A nameless Obama administration official said, "While we do not expect a recovery of these funds, we are comfortable that in the totality of the arrangement, the Treasury and the American taxpayer

As I read articles about who Obama will pick to replace David Souter on the Supreme Court, over and over again I see only female names on the list. Forgive me if I am wrong, but I thought the whole point of the feminist movement is that women wanted to be treated as equal to men. For such a position as a Justice of the Supreme Court, why isn't the policy to pick the absolute best person in

I'm working on an English degree currently, but history and philosophy are also big passions of mine. I've often thought of going for law school as well, specializing in constitutional law. I'm not 100% that I even want to be part of America's legal system, though. I'd have to start watching what I say unless people took it as some kind of legal advice, for one. :p I'm kind of pissed that the

My family has been admirers of Paul since the 1980's, although to be honest, politics rarely came up in conversation. In fact, it was not until I returned home from college and announced I was a libertarian, that I learned, mouth agape in shock that my parents were as well. As it turns out, my brother was a libertarian, too! I believe much of it to be a product of my environment growing up.

I was reading some articles over at The Daily Kos, where many people took major exception to Ron Paul’s stance on public education.  They seemed to equate his being against government-run schools as to mean he was against schooling in general.  I was reminded of Frederick Bastiat’s book entitled, ‘The Law’.   Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction

Megan McArdle at The Atlantic.com wrote recently about the option of casting a vote for Ron Paul as a 'protest vote'.Ron paul=Protest Vote?Andrew Sullivan views a vote for Ron Paul as a protest against everything the Republican Party has become. Bryan Caplan says that even if he were elected, he couldn't enact the crazier parts of his agenda.That's fair, but if I'm going to cast a protest vote, I
