Americans are finally seeing Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for what they are–deceivers, liars and cheats. A recent Pew Research poll reveals that 66 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of China, including those in key battleground states.

Independent pollster Frank Luntz tells John Stossel that abandoning our free-market system would be the end our economic freedom as we know it. He illustrates his point with his focus-group studies of the seemingly vulnerable youth of America and their compassion for socialism in this edition of LibertyPen.

Describing Obama in One Word

In a recent poll, the Pew Research Center asked Americans what one word would best describe President Barack Obama. As expected, there were conflicted feelings among those polled as “Good” edged out “Incompetent” 35-32 at the top of the list. Then came a healthy mix of complimentary and derogatory words. Confused? Don’t be. Join host John Phillips as he dissects the poll in this edition of “Poll Position” on PJTV.
