Why so many eventually flee socialism
Editor’s Note: Star Parker is off this week. This piece from Armstrong Williams runs in its place. History is filled with political movements born from noble promises. Few have been more appealing in theory than socialism. At its heart, socialism promises greater equality, economic fairness and protection for those who struggle in a competitive marketplace. It speaks to the desire for justice and the belief that no person should be left behind. Yet history also teaches a sobering lesson: While millions have voted for socialism, millions more have ultimately fled from ...

The Democrats’ patriotism gap
Democrats take great offense at being accused of being unpatriotic, but the data doesn't lie. A new NBC News poll captured the partisan gap over pride in America. Overall, 56% of Americans are extremely or very proud of the country, but only 29% of Democrats, compared to 90% of Republicans. That's a yawning gap, and about a matter that really shouldn't be controversial. We aren't talking about abortion, or Donald Trump's White House ballroom, but an elemental thing -- pride in country -- that in most times and places has been taken for granted. Once upon a time, that was the ...
