With this, the judges (not legislators) may define and guarantee fairness, justice, and liberty. The Supreme Court’s reinterpretation of the due process clause led to an “explosive s...

Without any anesthesia, the baby is dismembered, torn apart, and vacuumed out of the mother. In the case of a near-term or partial-birth abortion, the baby is turned around and pulled partially out with its head stil...
Uneccesary war
War Is Unnecessary Do we really need war? What does war solve? How does it help anyone? I wonder. People say that war is inevitable but in reality it is. It is not a known fact that war can solve our problems and leave us in peace with our neighboring countries. I believe that we destroy each other just for power that we feel we have, when in all actuality we do not. The right kind of leaders and guidance and levelheadedness we can avoid the inevitable. War is unnecessary waste of money, it kil...

capitalism
“Two hundred years ago, before the advent of capitalism, a man’s social status was fixed from the beginning to the end of his life; he inherited it from his ancestors, and it never changed. If he was born poor, he always remained poor, and he was born rich- a lord, or a duke- he kept his dukedom and the property that went with it for the rest of his life” (Ludwig von Mises) In the Third Edition of Economic Policy, Thoughts for today and tomorrow Mises main focal point in the article is capita...

John McCain wants to increase the number of troops in Iraq and stay there until the job there is complete. When American soldiers started getting killed in the war; citizens in America thought we needed to get out of there.

It is understandably why people would want to have soldiers return home, but that would leave Iraq out of...

When devastating, tragic incidents like September 11, 2001 occur, do we expect government to provide solutions in better protection and security over our lives or to leave us to fend for ourselves? Several controvers...

The Constants of Dutch Foreign Policy Peace, Profits and Principles is the catchy alliterative title of a book on Dutch foreign policy by Joris Voorhoeve, one-time parlia¬mentary leader of the VVD (1986-90). Under these three headings he sought to analyse the major traditions of this foreign policy, which he defined as 'maritime commercialism' 'neutralist abstentionism' and 'internationalist idealism'.

Thomas Cobb
Thomas Cobb When Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860, Thomas Cobb realized that the South had suffered a major loss in power. Since the Republican party controlled the executive, there was no way the South could have any say in the government. All their opinions could be easily disregarded by the North; their neglect of the Fugitive Slave Law was a perfect example of this. Cobb also understood that the Northerner¹s sudden patriotism for the Union was quite out of place. Only...
