Brent Bozell: Profanity and Pop Music Profanity and pop music go hand in hand these days.

Michael Barone: Voters Want Growth, Not Income Redistribution If you want redistribution, you'd better first produce growth.

Jonah Goldberg: 2011: You Can't Win For Losing You'll recall that 2011 began with the oafish actor celebrating his own narcotic and sexual crapulence like a victorious gladiator working the crowds. He was egged on by a media with as much decency as the cons on the top tiers of the prison who chant "fresh fish" as the new inmates walk into general pop, their eyes stinging from delousing powder.

David Limbaugh: Blind to their Liberal Biases I think it's very difficult for any of us to be objective about any subject, especially something we care deeply about, but my objective observation is that liberals tend to be less aware of and less willing to admit their biases.

John Ransom: Mr. Crony Went to Congress: Subpoena Soros, Buffett, et al. Let’s face it: Obama doesn’t have supporters, he has investors. He’s probably the first president of the United States who needs an investor relations department. But Rezko, Soros, Buffett, Kaiser, Immelt, Corzine, Abelow and the rest of the crew aren’t just investors, they’re also Obama’s known associates, capos in the ponzi scheme that now passes for progressive government.

Mona Charen: The Wrong Kind of Minority The Washington Post proclaimed in a recent headline another historic "first" for the United States -- the first female usher-in-chief at the White House. Stop the presses!

Hugh Hewitt: Game Change, Again Mike Allen and Evan Thomas have written a wildly interesting, very compact eBook that perhaps got lost in the run-up to Christmas. If you like politics, you will love The Right Fights Back.

Kevin Glass: The RINO Guide to the GOP Primaries Do you call yourself a conservative but consider yourself to be centrist-curious? Looking for a little help on how your heresies from true conservatism fit in with the crop of mediocre GOP candidates? Well, fear no longer!

Oliver North: 2012: A Tumultuous Year To Come A year ago, this column questioned whether the 112th Congress -- with its new speaker of the House, John Boehner -- could "overcome the inane policies of its predecessors" and "mend Washington's free-spending ways." We all know how that turned out.

Pat Buchanan: Is America Losing Control "Events are in the saddle and ride mankind." In describing 2011, few cliches seem more appropriate.

Suzanne Fields: The Social Medium, Not The Message This is the week that pits the old fogies against the rising generations in determining "what's in" for 2012 and "what's out" for 2011. Fashion and political opinions have traditionally made for a showdown at Generation Gap, but now, as we move into a new year, there's a communication gap, too. It's as much about process as substance in how we see the future.

Fred Wszolek: Recess Appointments To NLRB Tantamount To Declaration Of War Against Employers While President Obama is taking a break in Hawaii, the conversation in Washington, D.C. has not stopped regarding his National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

Linda Chavez: Coulter's Self-Fulfilling Prophecy Conservative columnist Ann Coulter has some advice for GOP presidential hopefuls: Hang tough on illegal immigration. Coulter sees illegal immigration as one of the two signature issues of the Republican presidential campaign (the other being repeal of Obamacare).

Jeff Carter: Isolationism, Protectionism Lead to War Protectionism and isolationism lead to war. All government programs treat you as if you are a random number variable in an endless chain. Bad fiscal policy, as the US has had, leads to desperation, which leads to class warfare. This is not about the have and have nots. It’s about making the pie larger.

Bob Beauprez: Survey: Docs No Fan of ObamaCare Only 27 percent of physicians believe ObamaCare will reduce healthcare costs, and half of the doctors believe access to healthcare will decrease due to hospital closures resulting from the new law.

Mike Shedlock: Race Baiting and Ron Paul When it comes to Ron Paul, many people pretend, with great indignation, that words not even said speak louder than actions.

Matt Mackowiak: The Political Winners of 2011 The intensity of the news cycle has produced more news coverage but less analysis of trends. Fortunately, the end of the calendar year provides both a calm period of time and the necessary reflective mood to enable one to take stock of what occurred over the past year.

Cliff May: Iran and Al-Qaeda Late last week, the State Department announced a $10 million reward for information leading to the capture of Ezedin Abdel Aziz Khalil, A.K.A. Yasin al-Suri – Yasin the Syrian. Serious students of terrorism and counterterrorism saw this as big news for two reasons.

Crystal Wright: Is Newt Gingrich Running for POTUS or Working at the Chocolate Factory? Newt Gingrich needs to stop his parade of excuses for failing to qualify to get his name on Virginia’s GOP presidential ballot. “I think it’s more like Lucille Ball at the chocolate factory. You’ve got to get it organized,” quipped Romney about Gingrich’s Virginia fiasco.

Floyd and Mary Beth Brown: Safety Belts Please: 2012 Is Going To Be Rough The first of every year, we encourage you to look around, set some goals and live intentionally. As a family we meet together early in the year, devour some quality Chinese Food and set our goals for the year.

Diana West: Is Russia Covering Up Real Cause Of Plane Crash? 'Tis the season for media list-mania, and (true confession) I always am mildly surprised upon viewing Top 10 story lists to find that I've forgotten some humdingers. Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011?

AWR Hawkins: Watching For Perry, Pulling For Palin As I sat with my extended family on Christmas, we discussed how beatable Barack Obama is. And as I listened to them run through the litany of reasons why this is so, I could only say again: “If the Republicans nominate a true conservative for president, Barack Obama is done.”

Jerry Bowyer: Christ vs. Caesar on Wall Street When Rome fell and barbarian hordes raped and murdered their way across the dark ages, civilization was rebuilt on the Christmas story.

Crista Huff: A Portfolio of Companies Tied to Obama I won't Invest In These are companies which have become intimately tied to American government; either run by our government or in bed with our government. And what do they call it when governments and corporations work hand in hand to control wealth and power, and pick winners and losers? They call that fascism.

Daniel J. Mitchell: What’s Worse, Being Endorsed by a Racist or a Communist? Not surprisingly, other GOP presidential campaigns would like voters to disqualify Paul on the basis of unsavory associations, and I certainly agree that Paul showed very bad judgment.

Gary Shapiro: Our Government is Failing Us Americans agree – our federal government is not doing right by us. The Executive Branch seems out of control.

John Browne: 2012 Offers Few Reasons for Optimism Politicians and bankers moved mountains to make this spending possible. Endless unemployment benefits, payroll tax holidays, and the lowest mortgage rates in history have allowed Americans to keep spending even as their economic outlook deteriorates.

Lincoln Brown: Gutless and Heartless is No Way to Run the GOP Boehner should have known that by standing his ground, the Republicans would get skewered for being heartless. And he had to have known that by caving, the Republicans would get skewered for being gutless. And wonder of wonders, both happened!

Tim Gilmore: Most Ridiculous Lawsuit of 2011 Announced The U.S. has been the undisputed lawsuit capital of the world for some time. And while the courts play a central role in resolving disputes and maintaining a civil society, that function isn’t easy when they are packed with frivolous suits.

Ann Coulter: Only One Candidate Is Right on The Two Most Important Issues In the upcoming presidential election, two issues are more important than any others: repealing Obamacare and halting illegal immigration. If we fail at either one, the country will be changed permanently.

Thomas Sowell: Republican Voters' Choices No one seems to be really happy with this year's field of Republican candidates for that party's presidential nomination -- except perhaps the Democrats.
