Institute for Justice Fights Theft by Police
Ari Armstrong May 1, 2012
It is outrageous that here in America the police can seize a person’s property, sell it, and keep the proceeds—all without so much as charging the victim with a crime, much less obtaining a criminal conviction. Under such a system, the police are violators rather than protectors of property rights.…

Will Bork Convince Romney to Select Anti-Liberty Judges?
Ari Armstrong April 30, 2012
Timothy Sandefur, an attorney with the pro-liberty Pacific Legal Foundation, argues on his personal blog that the next president’s ability to select judges is not sufficient reason to support Mitt Romney: Romney is turning for advice on the judiciary [to] none other than Robert Bork, an intellectually dishonest anti-moral authoritarian…

Adventures in Flight and Science, Good News Abounds
Joshua Lipana April 29, 2012
A few items from the benevolent news front: Afghani aviation enthusiast Sabir Shah—“a high school graduate with no pilot training nor aeronautical engineering background,” who couldn’t afford college—has built a one man “microlight” aircraft in his home. Sabir says, “I believe that if you want something, you can get it.” After…

Repeal, Don’t Amend, the “Renewable Fuel Standard” Law
Michael A. LaFerrara April 27, 2012
Texas chemical maker Celanese has developed a technology to make ethanol from natural gas and coal, both plentiful in America, and is building plants in Texas and China to manufacture it. “If it works,” notes Forbes columnist Christopher Helman, it “will revolutionize the fuel industry.” Great news? Yes—but maybe only for…

“Crucify” Energy Producers: EPA Administrator Confesses Agency’s Goal
Ari Armstrong April 26, 2012
Al Armendariz, a regional administrator of the EPA, described his “philosophy of enforcement” as follows: It was kind of like how the Romans used to conquer little villages in the Mediterranean. They’d go into a little Turkish town somewhere, they’d find the first five guys they saw, and they would…

Is the Next Era of “Big Stuff” Upon Us?
Ari Armstrong April 25, 2012
Where has all the innovation gone? Although Facebook now has nearly a billion users, and most of us now have pocket computers with instant access to a world of information, in the last few decades innovation has, in significant ways, slowed to a crawl. In a recent talk, “On Getting…

Will Republicans Wield Muskets in a Nuclear War?
Michael A. LaFerrara April 24, 2012
The Democrats, having made so-called “fairness” a key campaign issue in this year’s election, engineered a symbolic Senate vote on the so-called “Buffet Rule”—a special, higher income tax rate on the “rich.” As expected, it was defeated. But the Democrats’ assault on the rich is not mere political gamesmanship. It is…

Reflections on “Earth Day” 2012: Americans Begin to Wake Up
Ari Armstrong April 23, 2012
Yesterday the environmentalists “celebrated” Earth Day, a day devoted to curbing human production and consumption, which means curbing human life. Those of us who love our lives, on the other hand, celebrate using the Earth to live and prosper, for we as humans live fundamentally by using our rational minds…

Marxism “Begins with Theft and Ends with Murder,” Shows C. Bradley Thompson
Ari Armstrong April 22, 2012
Marxism is “good in theory but not in practice,” many claim. Or, it was “misapplied” by the murderous regimes that slaughtered some 100 million people, others say. Neither claim is correct, argues historian C. Bradley Thompson in a recent talk delivered at the Foundation for Economic Education. Rather, Thompson shows,…

ObamaCare and the Statists’ False Alternative
Michael A. LaFerrara April 19, 2012
In 1984, then-Colorado Governor Dick Lamm infamously said, “We've got a duty to die and get out of the way with all of our machines and artificial hearts and everything else like that and let the other society, our kids, build a reasonable life.” Though Lamm has long claimed that he…

Stop the Fracking Controls
Ari Armstrong April 18, 2012
How many executive agencies does it take to “regulate” hydraulic fracturing, the revolutionary process of harvesting natural gas (as well as oil) largely responsible for saving America’s economy? According to Barack Obama’s new executive order, it takes fourteen—plus a potentially unlimited number of “such other agencies or offices as the…
