Derek Hunter:
Tragedy and Exploitation – The Progressive Way
I’ll leave it to others better suited to comment on
the horror of Friday afternoon in Newtown, Conn. I am not yet a parent
and would not presume to understand the emotions involved in something
like this.
John Ransom:
Corporate Tax Crash Created By Dems Lame Duck Act
You are on to something here: Of course, you’re
liberal and the fact that you have a point is accidental and
unintentional. But you have made an effective case why tax rates on
corporations should be lower, rather than higher. 
Doug Giles:
New Rule: All Teachers Should Be Required to Carry Guns
My heart is sick. I feel so sorry for the children
who were murdered, as well as the parents and loved ones of the slain
kids and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown,
Connecticut. All of us here in the U.S.—who still have a soul—pray for
those whose lives were just senselessly shattered.
Debra J. Saunders:
A Smart Conservative Position on War on Drugs
"Mandatory sentences breed injustice," Judge Roger Vinson told the New York Times. 
Paul Jacob:
What We Can Do and What We Cannot Do
If politics is the art of the possible, how come
politicians spend most of their time on attempting the impossible, and
declaring the possible infeasible?
Daniel J. Mitchell:
States with No Income Tax Grow Faster and Create More Jobs
The evidence is pretty clear that zero-income-tax states grow faster and create more jobs.
Political Calculations:
U.S. Jobs Five Years After Their Peak
Looking at the total decline in the number of
employed Americans through November 2012, jobs lost by U.S. teens
account for 43.4%, young adults for 12.2% and adults Age 25 and older
account for 44.4% of all jobs that have disappeared from the U.S.
economy over the last five years. 
Kevin McCullough:
In Search of Meaning at Sandy Hook
There are just some things children should never see. 
Steve Chapman:
The Irrelevance of "Right-to-Work" Laws
Some people love right-to-work laws, and some people
really hate them. The reaction in Michigan when Republican Gov. Rick
Snyder signed one has been not only spirited but downright violent at
times.
Rich Tucker:
Powering the Country
Calvin Coolidge once announced that “the business of
America is business.” That’s not as true today, when American businesses
are often portrayed as the bad guys, causing problems that require big
government solutions.
Mike Shedlock:
Pro-Union Activist Threatens the Michigan Governor: 'We'll Be at Your Daughter's Soccer Game'
Following the threats by the Reverend Charles William
II to the governor's daughter, state representatives Rick Hammmel and
Tim Greimel pandered to the crowd, complaining about union "rights" to
being taken away.
Paul Kengor:
America’s Growing Government Class
The latest unemployment figures are again depressing,
but not for the usual reasons. They provide further confirmation of
Barack Obama’s fundamental transformation of America, specifically
through his creation of a growing government class.
Michael Youssef:
And So It Goes?
There used to be a saying that went: “As goes England, so goes America.
Mark Baisley:
Leveraging Death
For the first time ever, I actually appreciate that
my wife keeps the television pegged on The Food Network so I don’t have
to dwell on the bewilderment of senseless mass murder.
Stewart Scott:
Is Boko Haram More Dangerous Than Ever?
The group has killed roughly 770 people this year, leading many to conclude that Boko Haram has become more dangerous.
Marita Noon:
The Shale Gas Revolution: Reindustrialize the Economy
in the past seven years, America has flipped from a
potential liquefied natural gas (LNG) importer, to an exporter. Energy
companies have proposed 16 projects to export LNG to Europe and Asia.Yet
the Obama Administration has only approved one export terminal—stalling
the economic development the remaining 15 projects would create.
Tad DeHaven:
The U.S. Postal Service vs. Greece
Michael Schuyler, now with the Tax Foundation,
examines the analogy between Greece and the USPS in a paper that was
released on Monday.
