"We're Comin' to Get You": NY-23 and VA-5
| January 26, 2010
I recently landed in the middle of an important skirmish: the wide-open Republican primary battle in Virginia's fifth congressional district. The story is a microcosm of the tension and mutual suspicion between the tea party movement and the Republican establishment.(->)

Letter to a Sincere Leftist

The Pledge
| December 13, 2009
Those of us who oppose the bill have tried threatening Democratic senators with a negative incentive: the withdrawal of our votes and our active support for their opponents. How about enticing them with a positive incentive?(->)

The Vicious Heart of ObamaCare
| December 7, 2009
If the left's goal is to impose socialized medicine in America, this bill does it in the most callous and destructive way possible.(->)

A Letter to My Senator
| November 19, 2009
If you vote for this bill in any form, I will campaign for your opponent in the next election—I'll give money and take time off from work, if I have to, to canvas neighborhoods or make phone calls for ANYONE who runs against you. (->)

The Health Care Berlin Wall
| November 12, 2009
Health insurance will no longer be an individual choice any more, it will be a societal obligation, mandated by law and the threat of force from the state, and attempted escape will put you behind walls with armed guards keeping you there threatening deadly force if you try to leave.(->)

The Kamikaze Congress
| November 11, 2009
It is absurd and astonishing that 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall capitalism is still considered the enemy—an enemy so evil that it is worth crashing a congressional majority into it and going up in the flames of a disastrous bill, just to destroy it.(->)

Taxing Us for Breathing
| October 29, 2009
This is a whole new evil: a tax levied on you just because you exist. Our political leaders are taxing us for breathing.(->)

Britain's Death Panels
| October 19, 2009
Just as America is debating whether to give the government a dominant role in health care, Britain is agonizing over the horrific consequences of just such a government-controlled system. (->)

Morality Ends Where a Gun Begins
| October 8, 2009
When it comes to morality in politics, there is no substitute for the moral vision—still radical, two centuries later—of our Founding Fathers: the subordination of government to the principle of individual rights.(->)
|
Save the Private Option
| October 1, 2009
The creation of public health insurance was never the real heart of Obamacare. The real essence of Obama's agenda is the destruction of private health insurance.(->)

The Seven Big Lies of Obama's Speech
| September 9, 2009
This is what Obama's supposed gift for rhetoric amounts to: the ability to tell a smoothly polished bald-faced lie.(->)

Paging Dr. Galt
| September 1, 2009
Much of the debate over the health-care bill starts and stops in the wrong place. It dwells on the experiences of health-care consumers—but the story actually begins with the producers of health care, the doctors, nurses, hospitals, drug companies. Without these producers, no health care is available for the consumers to buy—at any price. So we need to begin by looking at the current legislation from the perspective of the producers.

Brother, You Ain't My Keeper
| August 25, 2009
Barack Obama has tried to seize the moral high ground in the health-care debate, declaring in a conference call with religious leaders that government-provided health care is required by "a core ethical and moral obligation: that is that we look out for one another, that I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper." Well, I have news for the president: Brother, you ain't my keeper.(->)

The Health-Care Bureaucracy-Formation Bill
| August 19, 2009
It's a mistake to think of the current legislation as a health-care reform bill. It is actually a bill for the formation of a massive health-care bureaucracy charged with the task of scheming endlessly to expand its own power.

Whose Life Is It, Anyway?
| August 14, 2009
The fears about "death panels" and rationing of care for the elderly are validated by the moral justifications offered for the health-care bill in the first place.(->)

As a guide to help you prepare for your local town hall meeting, here are my suggestions for 20 questions you can ask your elected representatives about the economics, history, politics, and morality of Obama's health-care plan. (->)

Contempt for the Governed
| August 7, 2009
Faced with a full August of "Town Hall Hell," in which they would be forced to face constituents angry over six months of bailouts, runaway spending, and an attempt to socialize medicine, the Democrats have decided on their response: to denounce their constituents as "angry mobs" and do their best to avoid them.(->)

An Interview with Ian Plimer
| August 5, 2009
Tom Minchin and I recently corresponded with Professor Plimer and asked him a few questions about his book, about what the evidence really tells us about the climate, and about the political and cultural aspects of the global warming debate.(->)

Obama's War on Health Insurance
| August 4, 2009
The goal of the Democrats' plan for health-care reform is coming more and more out into the open: they want to eliminate health insurance.(->)
|
The New Third Rail
| July 27, 2009
I think we should create a new third rail in American politics: private health insurance. If we can block Obama's health-care bill—dealing him a dramatic defeat on a key item of his agenda—then we will send the message: leave our health insurance alone. Touch it and you die.

A Moral Reform Movement for Liberty
| June 8, 2009
In politics, if we're going to enforce respect for the freedom of the individual, then in morality, we need to respect the interests of the individual. That is why we need to understand and take seriously Ayn Rand's basic moral argument in favor of self-interest and against sacrifice.
