Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans...

After reading all of the crap that people have been saying regarding Adult Private Social Clubs, I felt that I had to post an article and give my opinion. I am sick and tired of all the religous groups that are saying that there are drugs, prostitution, minors, non-consenting people, and just immoral people at these clubs! First of all, who do these people think they are to decide what is morally right or wrong for me? I believe that I have a good set of morals. I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen, I work full time and...

ANSWERING A FAIR TAX QUESTION During yesterday's show a caller asked what would happen to her 401K funds if the Fair Tax bill became law. No income taxes had ever been paid on that money residing in her 401K. If, by the time she starts drawing that money out, the income tax is history, will she have to pay some sort of penalty? One month ago I would have rattled off the answer. No. No penalty. No taxes. You take the money and run. Yesterday, however, I was a bit more cautious. I've spent many hours over the past weeks...

Jan. 31 Neal Knox Update -- Tuesday the Wisconsin Assembly will vote on whether to override Gov. Jim Doyle’s (D) veto of a license to carry law. The Senate has already passed the measure and the state’s press and leftist organizations are practically foaming at the mouth to stop it. The override could succeed – or fail – by a single vote. The vote had been scheduled this past Tuesday but was cancelled because one pro-gun member was absent due to illness – a claim disputed by the press, which said the delay indicated the majority Republicans didn’t have the...

In his classic Democracy in America, Alexis de Tocqueville warned about the "tyranny of the majority." The French political scholar, who toured the United States in 1831, observed that few precautions had been taken to control the unlimited power of direct democracy. "If ever the free institutions of America are destroyed," de Tocqueville wrote, "that event may be attributed to the unlimited authority of the majority, which may at some future time urge the minorities to desperation." This is what is happening in California. The recall campaign against Gov. Gray Davis is an assault on democratic institutions. Led by right-wing...

Revenue: Weary of high taxes, a famous old-line company wants to leave the U.S. Public officials’ reaction reveals an all-too-common mind-set in the halls of power. Stanley Works, the New Britain, Conn., toolmaker, announced in February that it had plans to reincorporate offshore. The move would save the company $30 million a year in taxes. Last week, shareholders approved a paperwork relocation to business-friendly Bermuda. The possibility has energized the political class. They see a cash cow about to jump the fence. "Stanley Works has no right to abandon their obligations as a corporate citizen of this country," mumbled Rep....

Durbin lacks the profile of a winner April 24, 2002 BY STEVE NEAL, SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST His re-election isn't a done deal. Sen. Richard J. Durbin's potential vulnerability was exposed in the March 19 primary when nearly a third of Democratic voters shunned him. Durbin, 57, who is favored to win a second term in the general election, got the lightest vote among the four slated Democratic candidates who were unopposed in last month's primary. As the sitting U.S. senator, he had the top ballot position and should have led the Democratic ticket. But he fell short of those expectations....
