Are government vetting procedures defensible?

Why the state can’t get the lead out Jan 25, 2016

Published last Thursday on Breitbart. While in Detroit rallying union members yesterday President Obama made a statement that the water crisis in nearby Flint, Michigan, where government water authorities have knowingly supplied 100,000 residents with unhealthy, high lead level water, demonstrated the need for more government. It followed a week of Democrats calling for the resignation of Michigan's Republican Governor for not solving the problem sooner.  And blaming the crisis on Republican penny pinching. As it turns out, many levels of government, and politicians and bureaucrats of both parties, have known that Flint residents were being supplied with poisonous water...

Gay voters – part 2, Republicans Nov 26, 2015

This was published this past weekend in two parts at Breitbart, Saturday and Sunday. The replies of the more socially conservative readers there are priceless. Republicans - and the broader group of people who simply don't want to see the Democrats in power - might then consider a strategy of attempting to reach gay voters, whom they've basically ignored. Actually appealing to gays by supporting gay marriage and other forms of legal equality in adoption etc. would be one approach, but there are others for people not ready to go there. Gay people tend to gravitate to urban areas governed by...

Gay Voters – part 1, Democrats Nov 25, 2015

This was published this past weekend in two parts at Breitbart, Saturday and Sunday. The replies of the more socially conservative readers there are priceless. It’s a common assumption – among Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals –  that gay voters all vote for Democrats. In 2012, Barack Obama, according to exit polls, received three-fourths of the gay vote.  But gay voters aren’t Democrats simply – in a Gallup study though a higher percentage of gays (44%) were Democrats than were heterosexual voters (32%), and a lower percentage were Republicans (13% versus 30%), they were also more likely to be independents...

Libertarians mistakenly support Obama again – the Syrian refugee crisis Nov 22, 2015

Sadly, as with the Iran Deal, a number of prominent libertarian writers are supporting Obama, quoting boilerplate about the "tired and huddled masses yearning to breathe free." Although if one reads the replies they are getting from their own libertarian readers, they are being told they are full of it. And the most libertarianish of the presidential candidates, Senator Rand Paul, has called for a moratorium on accepting Syrian refugees in the United States.

Libertarian engineers one woman partial government shut down for a day Nov 20, 2015

2015 is the year transgender people became the new face of conservative politics. First Caitlyn Jenner declared herself to be a Christian, constitutionalist, Republican, and now Sophia Dalke has engineered a one (transgender) woman government shut down.

Libertarians and Obama’s refugee policies Nov 18, 2015

I am personally very sympathetic to restricting - or at least not subsidizing - Syrian refugees and other Islamic immigrants, both here and in Europe. If you can only take so many, as must be the case, I prefer that we only take Christians (and Jews), Kurds, Yazidis, women with children, pre-teen orphans, etc. And that we vet them to make sure they don't have violent backgrounds or intentions. And if you want to take in some refugees, privately, maybe you (your church etc.) should be legally liable for what they do for some initial period.

The Empire Strikes Back Nov 17, 2015

Charles and David Koch have announced that they have no plans to endorse or fund any of the GOP candidates before the primaries - even as they have finally upped their charm offensive, appearing on FOX and MSNBC shows so voters can see who they are, in contrast to a decade of smears by the "liberal" media and leftover blogosphere. Meanwhile, their counterpart in the Democratic Party, George Soros, is not holding back.

Hillary and the Pajama Boys Nov 12, 2015

Published earlier this week at Breitbart. It's been a tough month so far for Democratic Party pajama boys. First they lost Michael Bloomberg over a million dollars in Virginia, failing to take the state senate away from the GOP, after the New Yorker provided almost all the funding for Democrats running for local office in Virginia. Then they fabricated a hoax at the Democratic Party organ Politico claiming Dr. Ben Carson had lied and had their asses handed to them in a matter of hours, with even "liberal" CNN calling Politico's veracity into question.  (Kyle Cheney, the Politico reporter who authored...
