One does not need to take a graduate course in Economics to figure out why a productive society prospers and how it can be destroyed.

THE LEFT’S ABSURD DEFENSE OF “COMMON”: BEN SHAPIRO

The Left’s Absurd Defense of Rapper Common Posted By Ben Shapiro http://frontpagemag.com/2011/05/17/the-left%e2%80%99s-absurd-defense-of-the-rapper-common/print/ Michelle Obama recently invited rapper Common to the White House for a poetry reading.  This was problematic for two reasons.  First, nobody with one name deserves any respect whatsoever; this is especially true of rappers, who have generally contributed nothing to humanity except […]
