    "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult....

    CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina lawmaker plans to introduce a bill that would make it a felony to threaten violence against military members or their families because they are serving their country.

Chip Limehouse says he came up with the bill after authorities accused an Army major and psychiatrist of killing 13 people and injuring 30 at Fort Hood in Texas in November. The Charleston Republican says he wants to create...

Andrew Kinard is tough because he’s a Marine. But he’s even tougher because he’s one of God’s soldiers. His mission all these months has been to feel the prayers of tens of thousands, and trust that he could make it with God’s help. If...

    Tyson vs. Joe Boxer?By Joal Ryan Looks like Mike Tyson's ready to sink his teeth into reality TV. The production company behind those scantily clad Victoria's Secret prime-time specials is plotting a new series that would put an everyday palooka in the ring against the ear-chomping ex-champ. The proposed reality series--no title yet--is "very much in the preliminary stages," a staffer at Triage Entertainment said Wednesday. Per the Hollywood Reporter, talks are ongoing between Triage, which most recently produced The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for CBS, and Tyson's managers to seal a deal for the heavyweight's involvement. As for the...
