    A three-judge panel rejected a U.S. appeal because Congress ignored a WTO order to scrap the tax breaks. The EU challenged the U.S. law because it phases out the 10-year export benefits over 12 (…)

  • RISING ABOVE PRINCIPLE
    14 February 2006

    By William Fisher
    Small government is one of the golden tenets of American conservatism. Small government is more efficient. The smaller the government, the more power will be returned to the people. The smaller the government, the freer our people will be of bureaucratic intrusion, regulation and control. The smaller the government, the closer lawmaking will be to the ‘will of the people’.
    There is much to commend this Jeffersonian construct ? notwithstanding that it oftten chooses to (…)

  • Proud to be Liberal
    14 February 2006

    by Wayne Besen
    One of the great fallacies in modern lore is that liberalism stands for nothing and liberals have no core beliefs. The right wing, from the Pope to the President, has impugned the left by unfairly portraying it as a valueless movement mired in moral relativism.
    This could not be further from the truth. Indeed, the left is the backbone of freedom, the defender of personal liberty, the guarantor of free speech and religious worship and the nurturer of democratic movements (…)

  • Left all atwitter over Vice President’s itchy trigger finger
    14 February 2006

    by Daniel Patrick Welch
    Of course, most of you already know I’ve never been the Vice President’s biggest fan. I’ve often confused him with Lon Cheney, and yes, I’ve had him in my sights before...er, so to speak. But I find it unconscionable that the left wing punditocracy is having such unearned fun over Cheney’s unfortunate hunting accident. I mean who is the victim here? The Vice President, who was deprived of the chance to become a marksman through proper training in Vietnam just (…)
