War's Over, We Won (No Thanks to Barack Obama) ... If Barack Obama had gotten his way, Iraq would now be in the hands of Islamists, and America's image would have suffered a crushing blow.

They believed that freedom to think as you will and to speak as you think are means indispensable to the discovery and spread of political truth; that without free speech and assembly discussion would be futile; that with them, discussion affords ordinarily adequate protection against the dissemination of noxious doctrine; that the greatest menace to freedom is an inert people; that public discussion is a political duty; and that this should be a fundamental principle of the American government.

Your parents had a third parent-television. If you went back to 1950, you would be surprised. Many people-of all kinds and conditions-had just two parents. In the time since then, the referee has won all the championship matches-and the referee is a value-free ritual. View quote
