Principles of Government · September 21, 2023 ·

By William P. Barr – Progressives can’t solve the problem because they won’t abandon the practices that cause it. The violent crime surge was preventable. It was caused by progressive politicians reverting to the same reckless revolving-door policies that during the 1960s and ’70s produced the greatest tsunami of violent crime in American history. We reversed that earlier crime wave with the tough anticrime measures adopted during the Reagan-Bush era. We can stop this one as well. Studies have repeatedly shown that most predatory crime is committed by a small, hard-core group of habitual offenders. They are a tiny fraction of the population… Read More

Democrats ‘Charity’ Voter-Registration Scheme B

By Kimberley A. Strassel - Sept. 22, 2022

Copyright ©2022 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

Principles of Government · August 27, 2023 ·

By Kimberley A. Strassel – A 501(c)(3) nonprofit isn’t supposed to engage in partisan activity…A New York Times article this week confirmed a political reality that Republicans have been slow to publicize: Democrats are openly abusing charities to stack voter rolls in their favor. … Read closely and you notice the story is entirely about Democrats, confirming a longstanding scheme by which foundations and private donors funnel tax-exempt dollars into “charities” that microtarget and register Democratic voters.

From Migrant Busing to Climate Change, Fake Virtue Abounds B

By Gerard Baker - Sept. 19, 2022

Copyright ©2022 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

Principles of Government · August 21, 2023 ·

By Gerard Baker -… But the scales of virtue must balance, and it isn’t simply a case of administrative incompetence but an act of abject moral failure by a government to fail to secure its borders….There is no higher obligation for a sovereign power to its own people. The reckless toleration of the entry of …millions, of illegal immigrants threatens a nation’s security, undermines its cohesion, interferes with its orderly economic and social functions. It … actively undermines respect for the rule of law…. Read More

The Left Gets Fascism Backward B

By Lance Morrow - Sept. 4, 2022

Copyright ©2022 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

Principles of Government · August 20, 2023 ·

By Lance Morrow – Mr. Trump and his followers…are essentially antifascists: They want the state … to impose the least possible interference and allow market forces and entrepreneurial energies to work. Freedom isn’t fascism. Mr. Biden and his vast tribe are essentially enemies of freedom…. They desire maximum—that is, total—state or party control of all aspects of American life, including what people say and think. …The left yearns for power and authoritarian order. It is Faust’s bargain; freedom is forfeit….  Read More

The Trouble Isn’t Liberals. It’s Progressives. B

By Charles Murray - June 30, 2014

Principles of Government · June 30, 2014 ·

By Charles Murray – …progressive intellectuals were passionate advocates of rule by disinterested experts led by a strong unifying leader. They were in favor of using the state to mold social institutions in the interests of the collective. They thought that individualism and the Constitution were both outmoded.…are …enthusiastic about an unrestrained regulatory state…think it’s just fine to subordinate the interests of individuals to … cheer the president’s abuse of executive power and … have no problem rationalizing the stifling of dissent….
