(Our friend and supporter Marjorie Peters had an excellent Letter to the Editor published in The Brunswick News . I share it here in its entirety. Great job Marjorie! – Edward Hudgins, director of advocacy, The Atlas Society.) Expanding on his theme, “You didn’t build that,” Obama is trying to impose a burden of guilt on conservatives in particular by use of a new phrase, “economic patriotism.” This truly Orwellian double-speak carries with it a package deal of socialist concepts.

In Debate Two with GOP opponent Mitt Romney, President Obama lied about the attack on the consulate in Benghazi and the murders of the ambassador and three other Americans. For nearly two weeks, the president and administration spokespersons had blamed the attack on a mob angered by an anti-Mohammad clip on Youtube before they finally admitted that it was a planned terrorist attack. Then in the debate Obama claimed that he had called it a terrorist attack all along.

Nicole Ciandella over at the Competitive Enterprise Institute challenges President Obama and his Republican opponent's shared preference for discussing small businesses rather than big ones. It's the big businesses, she says, and the businesses that become big, that create new opportunities for workers and consumers . So they deserve more "love" from politicians.

Does Mitt Romney even know what a free market is? It’s worth asking, if only because people watching him debate last night, and incorrectly assuming that a successful businessman must know such basic facts, may have been misled.

It is sometimes suggested that success in business is an exceptionally good qualification for public office. By that standard, Michael R. Bloomberg would be one of the most qualified public officials in the country: Before becoming mayor of New York City, he built a highly successful enterprise —and its field was financial news, thus tying him to two of New York’s most important industries, finance and media.

Editor's Note: In the middle of the last decade, two business professors and a handful of Wall Street Journal reporters called attention to widespread backdating of employee stock options, launching a flurry of prosecutions that cost numerous executives their jobs and a few their freedom. Roger Donway ’s monograph Rich-Hunt tells the story of Greg Reyes, CEO of Brocade Communications Systems, who was convicted and sentenced to 18 months in prison and a $15 million fine—a miscarriage of justice wrought by ambitious prosecutors and their cheerleaders in the media. At The Atlas Society’s 2012 summer conference, where Greg Reyes spoke of his ordeal, Roger Donway explained why the backdated-options frenzy was an anti-business persecution generated out of the flimsiest excuses. What follows is an edited version of Donway’s talk.
