John Ransom: UAW Picks Targets for Suicide Bombing of US Economy If they can't get what they want at the negotiating table, the UAW will now try the economic equivalent of a suicide bombing of the economy. Never mind that they already destroyed the US automakers and their employees.

Mike Adams: Allison Wonderland She wasn’t always like this. She was raised in a middle class home by educated parents – both of whom are lifelong self-described liberals. They loved her and cared for her. But they also gave her some poor advice, which largely accounts for her downward spiral over the course of the last several years.

Ken Blackwell: A 2012 Conservative Case for America's Future The United States is at a fork in the road regarding which way we will go as a people. The 2012 election could be the most important in our lifetime, and conservative leaders have reached a consensus on how to channel the energy and concerns of the American people to realize historic change this year.

Cal Thomas: Don't Die Stupid A friend of mine hands me what looks like a business card. It says, "Don't Die Stupid." As America begins another round of voting to select the next president, or retain the current one, what we need is a stupid test. Flunk it and you shouldn't vote.

Pat Buchanan: Our Innocents Abroad? Friday's lead stories in The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal dealt with what both viewed as a national affront and outrage.

Caroline Glick: Is Israeli Society Unraveling? On balance, Israeli society is extremely healthy. Unemployment is at record lows. At a time of global recession, the Israeli economy is growing steadily.

Dave Ramsey: Dave Says the Bible Says It's Wise to Save What’s worse, her father is the preacher at our church and he has convinced her that he knows the Lord is coming back in our lifetime. Thinking this, she says there’s no reason to save because it will all be gone anyway.

Political Calculations: IDing the Biggest Civil Rights Crisis of 2012 We're kicking off the new year by solving the biggest civil rights crisis in America today, at least according to the United States Department of Justice: the racial disparity in the percentage of individuals without current photo identification needed for voting in South Carolina!

Mike Shedlock: Obama Signs Bill that Kills Bill of Rights Any Senator voting on a bill that would allow US citizens to be arrested, detained indefinitely, even sent to Cuba without being formally charged with any crime is no friend or supporter to the US constitution.

Jeff Carter: Stimulus and Debt are Manna From Heaven Keynesian believer Jon Corzine thought that he could “hypothecate” funds and increase leverage over and over without any costs. Instead, what he learned is that there is a cost to carrying too much leverage and the lessons he should have mastered while he was in MBA school really do mean something.

Daniel J. Mitchell: The Never-Ending Battle Between the U.S. and U.K. for Stupidest Government Policy The competitive juices must be flowing, because there’s a new example of government stupidity from the United Kingdom that is hard to believe. As reported by the Register, you now need an ID to buy teaspoons.

Charlotte Hays: President Obama: Champion or Enemy of the Middle Class? After turning himself into a veritable caricature of the 1 percent he derides at every opportunity, President Obama has suddenly discovered his true calling: champion of the middle class.

Michael Tanner: Voters Like Paul's Honesty Let us also stipulate that Paul is not going to be the Republican nominee for president.

Ryan James Girdusky: George Bush II or Barack Obama Imagine for a moment that the Twenty Second Amendment to the constitution was abolished and George W. Bush in a brokered convention is given the Republican nomination against Barack Obama. Should Republicans vote for him again?

Phyllis Schlafly: Obama Gives Gambling a Christmas Present Just before sneaking off to Hawaii, where he barred news photos on the golf course, President Obama overturned a longstanding U.S. policy that prohibited Internet gambling.

Tad DeHaven: A Guide to the Presidential Candidates' Proposals to Cut Spending There are multiple ways to skin this cat, but I decided to put together a comparison table based solely on the content found on each candidate’s campaign website. I did not consider past statements or votes, the televised debates, or outside sources (unless linked to by a campaign’s website).
