Why Islam threatens liberty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Little kids aren’t the only ones who act like closing their eyes will keep them safe. Look at how many people want to avoid discussing how Islam threatens liberty. In 1992, Imam Siraj Wahhaj said, “If only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate.” In 2007, Imam Abdul Alim Musa was leading As-Sabiqun, an organization that was working to create an “Islamic State of North America no later than 2050.” A survey
Socialism destroys wealth and individual freedoms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Socialism doesn't just destroy wealth. It strips people of their freedom. A growing number of Americans now support it. A recent YouGov poll found that 31% of people have a favorable view of socialism. Just 43% viewed it unfavorably.

A society can't make its citizens virtuous, but it can nurture the institutions that lead to virtuous citizens. Great thinkers in Western civilization have long noted the importance of virtue. In Politics, Aristotle declared, "The best life, both for individuals and states, is the life of virtue, when virtue has external goods enough for the performance of good actions." "Virtue then is a settle
Americans fail to understand rarity of liberty around world (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This well-known rhetorical flourish at the beginning of the Declaration of Independence needs closer consideration. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," it states. Look through history and you'll find little evidence that most people experienced these self-evident truths. Until the West led the way in abolishing it, slavery
