Presidential Preview

Wednesday night President Obama will be broadcast into American living rooms to tell us about the shape our country is in. But you don’t have to wait until tomorrow to hear his talking points. We are here to cut the crap and get to the truth. The State of the Union is perilous.

Corporations entitled to free speech

Last Thursday, the Supreme Court got it right. When the Supreme Court was created by the Founding Fathers, it was not intended to promote social justice or uphold laws that are popular with much of the public. The Supreme Court instead serves to ensure that laws follow the Constitution strictly as it is written.

Gun control article unoriginal

Paul Murty’s Friday column “America should rid itself of gun use” is wholly unoriginal and poorly crafted. Murty floats a few arguments for the elimination of private arms in this country, and, as usual, they don’t make it off the ground.

Columnist needed more facts

On Friday, Alligator columnist Paul Murty addressed the sad fact that gun and knife crimes in the U.S. are exorbitantly high when compared to rates in the U.K. The emotional response to these tragic crimes is often to immediately bash guns and gun owners and attempt to curtail their rights, but the argument Murty raised for gun control needs more facts.
