Does somebody from the neighborhood two miles away have the right to dictate to you how you run your house? If the answers to any of these questions bring a resounding ‘no’ to your mind, then what are we to say about your being sold into slavery to the World Health Organization? The second-largest financier of the WHO is Bill Gates. Does Bill Gates have the right to represent the people of America?...

Members of the House of Representatives tonight approved President Obama’s health care agenda, the biggest expansion of government power since the Great Society.

This has been accompanied by one of...

These Democrats should have been tested on their knowledge of the First Amendment, equal protection of the laws (14th Amendment), and the prohibition of double jeopardy (no American can be prosecuted twice for the same crime or offense). If they had been, they would have known that this proposal, now headed for a Senate vote, violates all these constitutional provisions....
