Ted Cruz’s and Rand Paul’s Strange Embrace of the VAT
nators Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are strong advocates of limited government. They are gifted spokesmen for free markets, and they are heroes for taking on the GOP establishment on issues such as overspending and civil liberties. That is why their embrace of the value-added tax (VAT) in their presidential campaigns is so baffling. VATs are the revenue engine of big-government welfare states, not a proper funding source for the small federal government that both senators favor for America.

The attacks went far beyond fair criticism. He was not only called a “shill for the nuclear industry” and a “sham scientist” but he was told he and other researchers who were reporting that the Fukushima radiation wasn’t a threat deserved to be executed.

George Will: Is Iran's Anti-Semitism Too Deep for Deterrence?
Ideas have consequences. The idea of anti-Semitism is uniquely durable and remarkably multiform. It can express a mentality that is disconnected, as in Hitler's case, from calculations of national interest. Hence an anti-Semitic regime can be impervious to the logic of deterrence. Much, including Israel's calculation of what military measures are necessary for its safety, depends on the nature of Iran's anti-Semitism.

Much has been written about the impossibility of developing America’s rich natural resources given the opposition of the Obama administration, radical environmentalists and actively empathetic judges; it has been a horror show for oil pipelines, energy on federal lands and coal anywhere. What happens, however, when the minerals at issue are deemed critical to national defense, key to green technology innovation and crucial to contesting Chinese combativeness and therefore: the stars align, the White House gives its support and environmental groups eschew the courthouse? Sadly, as an essential rare earth elements mine in Wyoming reveals: death by a thousand bureaucratic paper cuts.

It makes little sense, after all, to blame Ben Bernanke for the Fed's irresponsible bailouts.  Apart from allowing Lehman Brothers to fail, he only did what just about any central banker would have done under the same circumstances.  For among that tribe, the courage to act is one thing; the courage to refuse to rescue large, potentially insolvent firms is quite another.  And that is why we need laws that make such rescues impossible.

When it gets to the original person, it’s very different.”

They haven’t formed a rival church or joined an existing denomination. They constitute the most difficult group to penetrate. They are Ex-Episcopalians.
