Tech at Night: Fox confirms my theory about Aereo. CISPA advances.

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  April 11th at 12:00 AM  | 

CISPA continues to remain the big story right now. It’s moving on, though some are concerned that it was effectively renegotiated in back room meetings. It needs scrutiny before passage, I’m thinking. It’s probably a decent but watered-down bill at this point, but let’s look before supporting at this point. We need a good cybersecurity bill, not just any old thing.

Which is exactly what Jay Rockefeller is up to: flailing about, expanding government willy-nilly, in the name of cybersecurity. The SEC? Doing Cybersecurity? Insane.

I like the idea of the Internet Freedom bill, though. The global trend is away from freedom online, and it’s up to us to try to do something about it. The idea that the bill would hurt Net Neutrality is just a bonus.

We’re #18 in Economic Freedom

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  September 21st at 11:00 AM  | 

Every year, the Fraser Institute, a Canadian free-market think tank, publishes an economic freedom index for all developed and some developing countries.  The index is determined by 42 variables that fit into 5 broad categories; (1) size of government; (2) legal system and property rights; (3) sound money; (4) freedom to trade internationally; and (5) regulation. So where do we stand in the 2012 Economic | Read More »

Limbaugh, Fluke, ‘War on Women’ and the Travesty of Cravenly Caving to Lies of the Left

By: Lori Ziganto (Diary)  |  March 5th at 04:00 PM  | 

I learned something this weekend. Evidently, using the word slut is far more egregious than peeing on the Constitution and on personal and religious liberty. And being equated to a slut due to demanding that others pay for your personal sexual choices is more egregious than actually being a thirty year old perpetual student leech, spouting outright lies. Because, entitled. I had another teachable moment as well: the GOP | Read More »

Patent Reform or Patent Ripoff?

By: Dana Rohrabacher (Diary)  |  June 21st at 11:00 AM  | 

A groundswell of grassroots conservative activists and Tea Party members are alerting members of Congress to the dangers of patent  legislation which will soon come to a vote in the House.  Even highly respected scholars of the Hoover Institution have weighed in heavily against the bill and the negative impact it will have on the freedom and prosperity of the American people.  No matter how | Read More »

What you need to know about Patent Reform . . . and Fast

By: Dana Rohrabacher (Diary)  |  June 13th at 05:30 PM  | 

Patent Reform legislation has already passed the Senate.  It has been marked-up in the House Judiciary Committee, and if the patriots don’t engage soon, the bill will pass the House by our nation’s birthday.  It could be as early as this Thursday. Unfortunately, many activists do not understand or fully appreciate the implications and dangers of the bill.  In short, the bill is a radical | Read More »

Ben Franklin was right

By: Dana Rohrabacher (Diary)  |  June 3rd at 02:09 AM  | 

From the diaries, a Congressional counterpoint to the usual position at RedState Memorial Day is the time that we set aside to remember with gratitude those heroes who gave their lives to protect our freedom.  But no one should ever forget that it was our freedom they were protecting . . . and we can lose that precious gift to enemies of freedom, whether they | Read More »

We all stand together

By: Rob Portman (Diary)  |  May 28th at 08:00 AM  | 

Last month, I was honored to visit our brave troops in Afghanistan, giving me a chance to get a firsthand look at the challenges they are facing, and to thank them on behalf of all Ohioans for their service to our country. I took a bunch of Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds baseball caps that were a big hit. Even though they are thousands of | Read More »

Repeal ObamaCare. Then, Let’s Do Something Really Radical…Try Freedom.

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  December 16th at 01:00 PM  | 

ObamaCare. No, it’s not dead. Not even close. Yet, with Monday’s ruling that ObamaCare’s individual mandate is unconstitutional, there is some hope on the horizon that the foray into enslaving America in a government-dictated insurance scheme may yet be repealed, outlawed, or just thrown into the ash heap of really, really bad ideas. There is so much wrong with ObamaCare that it could fill an | Read More »
