Michelle Malkin:
How the Gay-Marriage Mob Slimed Manny Pacquiao
Boxing champion Manny Pacquiao is guilty -- of being
true to his Catholic faith. The gay-marriage mob is guilty -- of the
very ugly bigotry it claims to abhor. And left-wing media outlets are
guilty -- of stoking false narratives that shamelessly demonize religion
in the name of compassion.
Brent Bozell:
NBC Revives Howard Stern
Howard Stern has not been missed since he took his
smutty shtick off the airwaves and onto the unregulated Sirius satellite
radio. His super fans -- the brainiacs still playing their VHS tapes of
a Stern show called "Butt Bongo Fiesta" -- have made the satellite
radio chiefs happy, but Stern has almost vanished as an icon of pop
culture. He even scaled back his radio schedule to three days a week,
semi-retiring.
John Ransom:
Don’t Like Facebook
The difference between the working-class hero worship
that attended FDR and the pang that voters feel toward Obama today is
made possible by social media outlets like Facebook.
Jonah Goldberg:
Generation Pap
This is the season of generational twaddle. At
graduation ceremonies across the country, politicians, authors, actors
and businessmen take to the stage to tell young people they are
fantastic simply because they are young. This year, the ritual is more
pathetic than usual because there's a presidential election in the
offing.
John Hawkins:
15 Facts That Even Obama's Biggest Supporters Should Be Able To Admit Are True
"Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but they are not entitled to their own facts." -- Daniel Patrick Moynihan
David Limbaugh:
It's Not the Same-Sex Marriage, Stupid
People have asked what Obama could possibly have been
thinking to announce the final step in his "evolution" in favor of
same-sex marriage right after another state resoundingly rejected the
notion and despite the fact that most Americans oppose it.
Mona Charen:
Obama, Barnard and Women
The president dropped by Barnard College
(my alma mater) this week to deliver the commencement address. It
wasn't long planned. No, the college had lined-up a woman speaker --
Jill Abramson, editor of The New York Times. But in March, as part of
the "war on women" gambit, the White House decided it needed a friendly
female audience before whom the president could strut his feminist
stuff. Barnard, bastion of women's rights, dumped the Times gal for him
in a New York minute.
Scott Rasmussen:
It's the Economy, Stupid
Mitt Romney has pulled a point or two ahead of President Obama
in polls of likely voters. In polls of registered voters, Obama has the
advantage. The president's job approval ratings are hovering in the
upper 40 percent range, which suggests a close race.
Larry Kudlow:
Extend the Bush Tax Cuts Now
Boehner is aggressively taking on President Obama's leadership ineptitude on the economy.
Oliver North:
Welcome Home, Finally
Forty-three years ago this week, the fabled 101st Airborne Division launched Operation Apache Snow -- a major ground offensive against North Vietnamese army invaders in the treacherous A Shau Valley.
Pat Buchanan:
Has the Bell Begun to Toll for the GOP?
Among the more controversial chapters in "Suicide of a
Superpower," my book published last fall, was the one titled, "The End
of White America."
Suzanne Fields:
Romney Follows the Founding Fathers in Religious Tradition
What a country. In one corner, the president of the
United States endorses same-sex marriage, evoking his personal evolution
with the Golden Rule, "You know, treat others the way you want to be
treated." In the other corner, Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican
candidate for president, addresses an audience of 35,000 at the Liberty University commencement, one of the largest Christian universities in the country.
Linda Chavez:
Family Mysteries
Like many Americans, genealogy has been a keen interest of mine...But what I knew was only part of the story.
Gina Loudon:
While OWS Costs Cities Millions, “Common Sense” Brings Economic Boost
A recent article estimated that the total national
taxpayer cost of policing and cleanup from last fall’s OWS stands at
nearly $30 million.
Paul Greenberg:
The $2 Billion Lesson
Anybody need still another argument for reviving the
old Glass-Steagall Act (1933-99), with its salutary separation between
commercial and investment banking? If so, JPMorgan Chase has just provided one. A big one.
Rich Galen:
Talking (or Not) About Marriage
After Vice President Joe Biden backed President
Barack Obama into a corner on same sex marriage there has been a flurry
of activity surrounding the issue, but not much - if any - coming out of
House or Senate Republicans.
Donald Lambro:
Whacking Government Down to Size
WASHINGTON - President Obama's budget deficit this
year will hit $1.2 trillion, following three previous monster deficits
of $1.3 trillion, $1.3 trillion and $1.4 trillion.
Daniel J. Mitchell:
Rand Paul’s “Monstrous” and “Nasty” Budget Got 16 More Votes than Obama’s Budget
Setting aside the snarky comments, all that Rand Paul
is proposing is to limit the growth of government so that the federal
budget grows by an average of about 2 percent annually.
Political Calculations:
Enabling Disability Fraud
There appears to be an increasing level of disability
fraud in the U.S., where hundreds of thousands of people end on SSDI
after their extended unemployment insurance benefits expire.
Michael Brown:
Separation of Church and State: Misinformation and Hypocrisy
No sooner had I expressed my differences with the
president’s announcement supporting same-sex “marriage” than a young man
named Collin posted on my Facebook page, “You have to leave your stupid
religious dogma behind when talking about state and national issues.
You are basing your objection to homosexual marriage on the Bible which
would be violating the American principle of separation of church and
state.”
Charles Djou:
The Future of NATO
This weekend, the heads of state for the member
nations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) will gather in
Chicago to discuss its future. As someone who has served both as a
Member of Congress and as a soldier under NATO command in Afghanistan, I
have a unique perspective on NATO’s role and future
Phil Kerpen:
Phony Student Loan Issue Obscures Real Fight Over Spending
The interest rate on federal Stafford Loans is a
phony political issue. The 6.8 percent interest rate was slashed - at
taxpayer expense - to 3.4 percent last year. Now Obama and Democrats in
Congress are acting as if the rate returning to its usual level is an
economic catastrophe for students. It isn't.
Doug French:
From Rags to Resorts
Self-made billionaire Sheldon Adelson says the secret
to his success was "never knowing anything" about the businesses he
entered. That sounds like an exaggeration, but he emphasized that point
when speaking to students at UNLV recently, upon receiving the
Hospitality Industry Leader of the Year by the UNLV's Harrah Hotel
College.
Mark Baisley:
Getting the State out of Marriage
Marriage is a longstanding religious institution,
plain and simple. If the state’s only role was recording weddings that
churches conducted, there would be less of an issue here.
Chris Poindexter:
Gold Rebounds Despite Dollar Gain
The run on European banks continues only it’s not
just Greek bank customers withdrawing euros, but also customers of
Bankia SA in Spain who have pulled out over a billion euros in just
under a week.
Mike Shedlock:
Brain Drain: Businesses and Brightest Minds Flee Italy
"In Italy we have two realities, Germany and Greece, in the same borders."
Jeff Carter:
Limits on Oil Trading Won’t Change the Price
Curbing speculation in any commodity won’t work. It
will simply force risk transfer and price discovery into less
transparent marketplaces.
Stewart Scott:
Terrorism and the Exceptional Individual
Individuals like al-Asiri and al-Wahayshi play
critical roles in militant groups. History has shown that the loss of
exceptional individuals such as these makes a big difference in efforts
to defeat such organizations.
