Neither Dictator nor King

It was refreshing to moderate a “town hall” with the Libertarian presidential and vice presidential candidates last week because Govs. Gary Johnson and William Weld respect limits on presidential power. Sunday, when Fox’s Chris Wallace challenged Johnson’s plan to replace the IRS with a consumption tax, Johnson pointed out that he’s “not getting elected dictator […]

Economic Conspiracies

A general economic principle is that any law or regulation that restricts market entry tends to impose the greatest burden on those who can be described as poor, latecomers, discriminated-against and politically weak. The president of the NAACP’s St. Louis chapter, Adolphus Pruitt, has petitioned a circuit court judge to reject the St. Louis Metropolitan […]

Hillary Clinton’s Illicit Plan

Unless you’re a high-ranking government official, it’s hard to get a meeting with any secretary of state. But during Hillary Clinton’s tenure, there was another way: Pay up. A staggering 85 of the 154 private-sector people who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton donated money to the Clinton Foundation. That looks highly improper, […]

A Trump-Putin alliance would be good for capitalism

Critics of Donald Trump are apoplectic about the possibility that the Republican presidential nominee could align himself with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ever since the two men offered words of praise for each other — Putin referring to Trump as “bright,” and Trump praising Putin’s leadership ability — critics have parlayed their own fear and […]

We Have Nothing Left Holding Us Together

On Friday, a South Carolina high school stopped students from bringing American flags to a football game against a heavily Hispanic rival school. Why? The principal was presumably worried that waving the flag might offend the Hispanic students. According to the principal, “This decision would be made anytime that the American flag, or any other […]

In denouncing alt-right, Hillary treads where GOP will not

Last week delivered one of the most remarkable moments of this most remarkable political season. A major politician defended the conservative movement and the Republican Party from guilt-by-association with a fringe group of racists, anti-Semites and conspiracy theorists who have jumped enthusiastically on the Donald Trump train: the so-called alt-right. “This is not conservatism as […]

A Gem in Chicago

We have gotten so used to seeing college presidents and other academic “leaders” caving in to so many outrageous demands from little gangs of bullying students that it is a long overdue surprise to see a sign that at least one major university has shown some backbone. Dr. Robert J. Zimmer, president of the University […]

See – Government can be Efficient – When it Comes to Admitting Muslim Refugees

So the federal government really can be efficient – when it wants to. I guess it just must not want to very often.   I supposed we could say that August is a banner month for the government. Yesterday I wrote http://commonconstitutionalist.com/current-events/the-obamacare-scheme-may-be-imploding-ahead-of-schedule/  that Barack’s plan for Obamacare was for it to collapse under its own […]

Liberals Demand Child Welfare Probe After Father Teaches Daughter to Hunt [VIDEO]

The hallmark of modern liberal ideology is one of cultural fascism. While they often posture as proponents of tolerance, modern liberals often demand complete cultural and political uniformity in line with their world viewpoint. Case-in-point: after posting pictures of the father and daughter hunting, a family has received palpable backlash from the oh-so-tolerant left with […]

Triple Amputee DESTROYS Ungrateful Kaepernick

Too many Americans don’t understand that heroes are not make believe. They are real, they just don’t come bulletproof or complete with all the miraculous gadgets that those heroes on T.V. have. What they do come with is heart, courage, faith, hope, determination and a love for their country and those that live in it. […]
