Originally posted August 14, 2014. That would be Turkey! Let the Turks wipe out ISIS. American interests are not threatened, and American intervention is not required. As Pat Buchanan rightly notes, the war hawks led by John McCain and Lindsey Graham are at it again. Americans should dismiss the rantings of the war hawks and […]
Where is Turkey’s 400,000 Man Army?
Originally posted September 26, 2014. As Pat Buchanan notes, Turkey has 1,000 planes, 3,600 tanks, and 3,000 artillery pieces and “could make hash of the Islamic State.” Consider Turkey. With its 400,000-man army, 1,000 planes, 3,600 tanks, 3,000 artillery pieces and self-propelled guns, the Turks, the largest military power in the Middle East, could make […]
America’s Corrupt and Punitive Internal Revenue Code
The Cato Institute’s Dan Mitchell wants to replace the IRC with a flat tax. Dr. Mitchell also advises shrinking the size of the federal government so that it only funds the core public goods, such as national defense and the rule of law, envisioned by America’s Founding Fathers. As a fiscal policy economist who believes […]

The Foe: Radical Islam

But as John Fund writes, the governor’s failure to block non-citizen voting in Florida is off the rails. After years of legal battles between the governor’s office and the Obama administration, a federal-appeals-court panel issued an […]
Support Sheriff Mack
In mid-January Sheriff Richard Mack suffered a heart attack. This follows shortly after his wife was hospitalized in 2014 with major medical issues. In 2010 I wrote a five part profile of Sheriff Mack (collected here in one post), focusing on his stand against the federal government in Mack/Printz vs. U.S. Sheriff Mack put a […]
Cato Institute’s Dan Mitchell’s Solution for Greece
The Cato Institute’s Dan Mitchell writes, “Centralization is the secular religion of the European elite and they want Greece in the Euro.” Dan, however, advises no more bail out money for Greece and counts Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain as countries all drifting toward bankruptcy. Dr. Mitchell concludes, “There is a solution […]
Chris Christie Simplistic Plus Wrong
The American Conservative’s Daniel Larison writes of Christie’s common misguided view of the role of the president and an unfounded confidence in the ability of the U.S government to solve other nations’ problems. Larison notes, “The good news is that Christie isn’t going to be in a position to do any of this. Unfortunately, he […]
