Thomas Sowell Thomas Sowell: The 'Inevitability' Vote Many people may be voting for Mitt Romney because of the view in some quarters that he is the inevitable Republican candidate for President of the United States and the candidate with the best chance of beating Barack Obama, rather than because they actually prefer Romney to the other candidates.
 
Mike Adams Mike Adams: Jews For Genocide In my column, I correctly referred to the Nazi Holocaust as a Holocaust. I correctly referred to the feminist Holocaust as a Holocaust. I did not deny or in any way minimize any Holocaust. I simply spoke of two instead of speaking of one. If you are anti-Holocaust, then why are you morally superior for talking about one less Holocaust than I do? I just don’t understand your basic premise.
 
Doug Giles Doug Giles: IDs for Beer but Not for Ballots? Call me weird, but if Texans have to brandish an ID to buy cigarettes or beer, coach a youth football team, see an R-rated movie, cash a check, buy Sudafed or spray paint, pick up their children from school early, rent a video, open up a P.O. Box, pick up tickets at will call for a Bon Jovi concert, or rent a kayak to float down the Guadalupe then I don’t think it is too much to ask that a person who waddles up to a voting booth to elect our next president prove that he or she is here legally.
 
Jeff Jacoby Jeff Jacoby: On Health Insurance Mandate, Romney Plays Both Sides They say all things must end, but the wrangling over Mitt Romney's support for an individual health-insurance mandate persists without letup.
 
Star Parker Star Parker: Republican Race Just Getting Started Mitt Romney told Fox News after Rick Santorum’s victories in the Alabama and Mississippi primaries, “We’re not going to go to a brokered convention.”
 
Michael Barone Michael Barone: Redistricting Not a Big Story in 2012 The 2012 congressional redistricting cycle following the 2010 Census is just about over and done with. And it seems likely to make much less difference than many of us expected.
 
John Ransom John Ransom: The Wonk is Wrong, Again Ezra Klein’s argument encapsulates everything that is wrong with Washington. Most of the math Klein is using is the same BS the BLS uses to subtract 4 million workers from the workforce and claim that unemployment is going down.
 
Katie Kieffer Katie Kieffer: Yes He Does! 5 Ways Obama Controls Gas Prices A plumpish girl making pizzas behind a counter methodically spreads red sauce on a circle of dough as she vents loudly to the cashier: “Do you drink soda pop? No? Well, I do. They say that pop makes you gain weight. I always gain weight from stress and I’m so stressed out. I don’t have enough money. I need a car for college and I can’t afford one. And gas is outrageous. It’s like $5! I mean, I could buy a bike for $5!
 
Lurita Doan Lurita Doan: Public Relations--A Public Fraud in Federal Agencies President Obama may lack chops in many areas—job creation, growing the economy, managing the cost of fuel and food—but, he is a master at political strategy and excels in the art of misdirection.
 
Bruce Bialosky Bruce Bialosky: Re-Elect Me; It Could Be Worse The Obama Administration and their allies know that regardless of any other issues, the election will revolve around the economy. Ultimately, it always does, which is why James Carville is famous for so eloquently stating “It’s the economy, stupid.”
 
Paul Jacob Paul Jacob: Diving for Pearls It is sad but not shocking to witness great crimes within a bloody war.
 
Harry R. Jackson, Jr. Harry R. Jackson, Jr.: What Happens In Maryland Stays in MD For the last several weeks, I have been discussing the current battle over the definition of marriage with friends and parishioners. I have been amazed by a new collaboration between former political rivals in all of our urban, minority communities.
 
Daniel J. Mitchell Daniel J. Mitchell: The Tax System Explained in Beer I fear that many people don’t really understand the economics of taxation. So I’m happy to share this little story that periodically winds up in my inbox.
 
Michael F. Cannon Michael F. Cannon: What Is Causing Drug Shortages? This analysis suggests that, rather than impose reporting new requirements on manufacturers, Congress should reduce the fixed costs that the FDA imposes on drug manufacturers.
 
Dan Holler Dan Holler: Two Americas There are two Americas. No, I am not adopting occupy-style rhetoric that pits one group of Americans against another. What I am talking about is the fundamental difference between America’s entrepreneurial private sector and America’s cumbersome public sector.
 
Chris Poindexter Chris Poindexter: Investments Shift To Equities Down times are an invitation to buy for holders of physical gold and silver, which is really what separates precious metals from stocks and bonds.
 
Jeff Carter Jeff Carter: Comparing and Contrasting President’s Obama and Hayes Obama detests all Republicans, so he decided to go after one of the originals, Rutherford B. Hayes. Obama was using one of Hayes’ “statements” about the telephone to contrast it with his green energy policy today.
 
Mark Calabria Mark Calabria: Ed DeMarco, at FHA, Deserves a Medal Some commentators have gone as far to say that the “single largest obstacle to meaningful economic recovery is a man who most Americans have probably never heard of, Edward J. DeMarco.” Of course, such a statement shows a stunning lack of understanding of both the mortgage market and the economy in general.
 
Mike Shedlock Mike Shedlock: Public Union Bargaining Ends in UK Public unions bankrupted Greece, they will bankrupt Spain, they have the UK and the US on the verge of ruin, and they have bankrupted numerous US cities already.
 
David Sterman David Sterman: Are These 17% and 15% Dividend Yields Too Good to be True? This kind of ultra-high yield invariably means that most investors anticipate a major cut in the dividend. Otherwise, it would attract so much buying interest that the yield would get pushed sharply lower anyway.
 
Tad DeHaven Tad DeHaven: Santorum’s Tunnel and Federal Transportation Policy An article in the Washington Times on the former Pennsylvania senator’s lack of popularity in the Keystone State is instructive.
 
Chris Edwards Chris Edwards: Cutting the Army Corps of Engineers While the Army Corps has built some impressive infrastructure, many of its projects have been economically or environmentally dubious. The agency's activities have often subsidized private interests at the expense of federal taxpayers. Furthermore, the Corps has a history of distorting its cost-benefit analyses in order to justify its projects.
 
Doug French Doug French: The Rise and Current Decline of the City Fourteen of the 15 most populous cities at the start of the decade either grew more slowly or lost population by the decade's end. And while the 50 largest metro areas collectively grew by 3.7 percent in the 1990s, that growth was more than halved to 1.3 percent from 2000 to 2010.
