Within days, the Obama Pentagon is expected to decide which supplier to rely upon for what is, arguably, the cornerstone of America's ability to project power for the next 40 years: the next- generation aerial-refueling tanker known as the KC-X. The choice for this role - which is worth conservatively $40 billion - would seem to be a no-brainer. The obvious winning candidate to produce and maintain 179 tankers for decades to come would be a reliable, experienced and responsible U.S. manufacturer: Boeing. It seems, however, that Team Obama is poised to entrust responsibility for this vital defense capability to a company that has none of those attributes - the European aerospace conglomerate EADS. The pretext apparently will be that the foreign competitor is offering a lower bid than its...
It is no exaggeration to say that every American has only a tenuous hold on his property (real estate and personal property) because the law is sympathetic to eminent domain and other forms of takings, such as civil asset forfeiture. "Only learning, understanding, and teaching others about the principles of property rights and their importance . . . can solve the problems posed by eminent domain abuse, land-use regulations, and civil asset forfeiture laws," he writes.
New Heavy-lift Rocket Will Take Humans Far Beyond Earth WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA has selected the design of a new Space Launch System that will take the agency's astronauts farther into space than ever before, create high- quality jobs here at home, and provide the cornerstone for America's future human space exploration efforts.
Conservatives' insistence that identity politics is detrimental is a hypocritical smoke screen for white privilege. In fact, identity politics is the cornerstone of America's founding White Anglo-Saxon Protestants' (WASP) who pillaged and stole Native Americans' land. For whites, identity politics is a manifestation of racism; for Blacks and others of color, it can be prejudicial and bigoted but cannot be racism. The term racism is widely misused: It is the domination of one group over others based on race or ethnicity. Therefore, is virtually impossible for America's Blacks or other people of color to be racist-they don't control America's wealth or its resources. Increasing talk of a color-blind, post-racial society is pure nonsense; nor is multiculturalism a panacea. Unless multicult...
While the Democrats' party leaders flummox around trying to decide why they lost the November election and what to do about it, a number of their allies on the left have been working steadily and stealthily to do nothing less than bend to their will that cornerstone of American capitalism - the corporation. In "Biz-War and the Out-of-Power Elites," Jarol Manheim, a professor of media and public affairs at George Washington University, tells us why and how the left has adopted what he calls "anti-corporate" campaigns to demonize particular businesses in order to get them to adopt its agenda. He writes, "Every so often in American politics there comes a moment of pristine clarity ... when everything changes." For liberals, "the 1980s Reagan-Bush assault on their dominance of the political...
