Veterans Day and Foreign Interventionism by Jacob G. Hornberger November 18, 2013 Commemorating Veterans Day, people honored Americans who have served in the U.S. military, especially those who have fought and died in America’s foreign wars.

The Right Medicine for America’s Healthcare Sickness by Jacob G. Hornberger November 12, 2013 When it comes to the welfare state, hope springs eternal for liberals.
