　　One of the most famous elements from Alexis De Tocqueville’s Democracy in America is his discussion of “soft despotism.” Tocqueville’s description of soft despotism is familiar—“despotism of this kind does not ride roughshod over humanity,” “it does not tyrannize”—and the immediate result is that the nation is reduced “to being nothing more than a herd of timid and industrious animals...

　　Walking in the Light 　　This devotional was written by Jim Burns 　　This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him, there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we...

　　One of the most important but largely unsung heroes of the Reagan Era was movie-maker John Hughes. A close friend of P. J.

In its last days, as it rushed for the exits, it put off, once again, final decisions on federal agency budgets until at least mid-March (nearly six months into the current fiscal year). This delay included military...

　　When I was young and naïve, the thought never occurred to me that what appeared in medical journals might be fraudulent. I knew that there had been scientific hoaxes, such as the Piltdown Man, and I knew that, man being fallible, mistakes were made. Papers in medical journals were often followed in the correspondence columns by lively debate over the...

Just as suddenly, though, it now seems that “wokeism” is fading away. In this symposium, two Law Liberty contributors explore the...

　　In his 1859 treatise On Liberty, John Stuart Mill observed that one reason for protecting free speech is that there is value in arguing with false opinions. It brings about “the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error,” he wrote. For example, arguing with “Flat Earthers” helps to bring about a better understanding of...

　　At the height of the fateful year of 2020, while Black Lives Matter activists roamed the streets of our cities, setting fire to buildings and shocking much of the country into weirdly accepting provable lies, I warned that America faced mass hysteria akin to the Salem witch trials. “Sizable portions of the country appear to walk around in a trance,”...
