Ann Coulter:
GOP Whistling Past the End of America
An election almost as important as the presidential
election will be held next Tuesday, and conservatives aren't making a
big deal of it, just as they didn't make a fuss over the 2008 Minnesota
Senate election as Al Franken stole it from under their noses.
Jackie Gingrich Cushman:
Freedom Is Never Free
An 8-year-old boy loses his father to an execution
squad. Imagine the shock, questions and hurt at losing his father at
such a young age. Why did his father have to die? Could his death been
avoided? Why did he have to lose his father?
Victor Davis Hanson:
Culture Still Matters
RUDESHEIM, Germany -- This week I am leading a
military history tour on the Rhine River from Basel, Switzerland, to
Amsterdam. You can learn a lot about Europe's current economic crises by
just ignoring the sophisticated barrage of news analysis and instead
watching, listening, and talking to people as you go down river.
Larry Elder:
Why Jeremiah Wright Matters -- Still, Part II
Once upon a time, analysts, pundits and historians
explored the relationship between a given subject and his father. We do
so for possible insight into the subject's values, character,
decision-making process, biases, interests, fears, etc. You know --
acorn, tree.
John Ransom:
Does Anyone Still Like Obama?
In recent weeks, allies of Obama have defected from
his campaign message if not from his person. Forget about polls numbers
for a moment. Consumer confidence is the number that tells you what is
really behind the defections.
Michael Barone:
Obama Campaign May Be Fooling Itself
"Axelrod is endeavoring not to panic." So reads a
sentence in John Heilemann's exhaustive article on Barack Obama's
campaign in this week's New York magazine.
Judge Andrew Napolitano:
The Secret Kill List
Two Times journalists, Jo Becker and Scott Shane,
painstakingly and chillingly reported that the former lecturer in
constitutional law and liberal senator who railed against torture and
Gitmo now weekly reviews a secret kill list, personally decides who
should be killed and then dispatches killers all over the world -- and
some of his killers have killed Americans.
Michael Reagan:
The Great Obama Blunder
President Obama and his wife, the health nanny in
chief, obviously don't know when they've gone too far in their crusade
to socialize and Obamatize America.
Cal Thomas:
America and Future Wars
On Sunday, Sept. 2, 1945, aboard the battleship USS
Missouri at the end of ceremonies marking the unconditional surrender of
Japan and the formal end of World War II, Gen. Douglas MacArthur spoke
for a world weary of war and hoping for peace: "Let us pray that peace
be now restored to the world and that God will preserve it always."
John Hanlon:
Actor Eduardo Verástegui on the Schindler’s List of Mexico
In the early 20th Century, the Mexican people banded
together and fought a war against their overzealous government which was
infringing on their religious rights. And although the Cristero War was
an important event in that nation’s history, many Mexicans don’t learn
about it in public school because it embarrasses the government,
according to actor Eduardo Verástegui.”
Rachel Alexander:
Culture of Hypercriticism
With the rise of the 24/7 news cycle and expansion of
media allowing everyone to create their own stories on the internet, a
new void has been created. It has been filled by hypercriticism.
Hypercriticism used to be reserved for celebrities, as paparazzi closely
tracked every move of Hollywood stars.
Debra J. Saunders:
When Pelosi Says 'Free,' Reach for Your Wallet
On Tuesday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
explained to the Commonwealth Club the reason Washington passed
Obamacare. Even if everyone in America "loved" his own health care plan,
Pelosi argued, Congress had to pass President Barack Obama's Affordable
Care Act because American health care was "unsustainable financially."
Matt Towery:
Under Obama, Things Keep Getting Worse
No matter what propaganda we see from the elite media
or from Obama supporters, the American people will not be fooled. The
May report by The Conference Board showed consumer confidence at its
lowest point in the last five months.
Dave Ramsey:
Dave Says Move in with Mom Last Choice
Moving in with a parent would be my last choice, if
for no other reason than keeping your independence and maintaining some
dignity.
Tony Katz:
1000 Calls In 20 Minutes, Wisconsin Is Gearing Up For The Recall
The start to the Americans For Prosperity "A Better
Wisconsin" bus tour gathered an enthusiastic crowd just outside of
Milwaukee, WI, where volunteers and attendees made over 1000 calls in
just over 20 minutes to Wisconsin residents.
Daniel J. Mitchell:
Jonah Goldberg’s Good Advice for the GOP: Confess Your Spending Sins and Repent
Every Republican other than Reagan has a dismal track record on spending.
Steve Chapman:
Why We Should Stay Out of Syria
The downside of winning a war is that it makes the
next one more alluring. Defeating Serbia in Kosovo paved the way for
invading Afghanistan. Our early success there made Iraq look as though
it would be a cakewalk. Our 2011 victory in Libya is an invitation to
plunge into Syria.
Townhall.com Staff:
Alabama Fights a UN Land Grab
Individual rights must take a backseat to community
interests. Sound familiar? That’s probably because it’s been the
ideology that American presidents have been agreeing to since 1992.
Maggie Gallagher:
The Future Civil Rights of Baby Girls
As I type, the House of Representatives is debating the future of civil rights: a girl's right to life itself.
Emmett Tyrrell:
While George Was Calling Donald a 'Bloviating Ignoramus'
WASHINGTON -- Did I waste my time last Sunday? In the
morning, I was reading "The New York Times," acquainting myself with
precisely how the rich and famous live. The editors of the Times chose
this story for its front page, so I figured they thought it important.
It involved the Romney family and someone called Jan Ebeling. It turns
out I could have spent my time otherwise.
Julie Borowski:
The U.N.’s Law of the Sea Treaty Threatens Our National Sovereignty
The latest threat to U.S. sovereignty is the United
Nations’ Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) that is being pushed by the Obama
administration. LOST rises from the dead every few years. For more than
thirty years, the United States has refused to become a party to LOST
for good reasons. But this could be the year that the United States
surrenders its sovereignty over the seas to an international body if
Obama gets his way.
Robert Knight:
Boys and Girls Together or Else, ACLU Tells Schools
Boys and girls have the same needs, desires and temperaments, according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
Jeff Carter:
Repurposing Public Spaces For the Knowledge Economy
We have a lot of skilled labor that is going to lose
their unemployment benefits soon. Instead of re-upping and writing out
government checks adding to the deficit, why not give them incentives
and places to start businesses?
Mike Shedlock:
Bailout Scam: Collecting Non-Interest on Non-Loans; "Because We’re Europe"
Of the €141.7 billion bailout, only €47.2 can be
construed as a loan all of which nearly all went to government
operations, none to the average Greek citizen.
Chris Poindexter:
Gold Rally Continues
You shouldn’t be day trading gold and silver; if you
want to gamble go to a real casino. You should be allocating between 10
and 15 percent of your free cash to bullion-priced physical metals with a
plan to hold them for a long time.
Carrie Schwab Pomerantz:
New Wheels: Is It Better to Lease or Buy?
This is a good question for someone in your situation -- or for anyone looking to buy a car.
Ami Horowitz:
United We Fall: My Journey into the Corrupt Heart of the U.N.
One grey October morning, a man walked up to me as I
was leaving my apartment building in Manhattan’s Upper West Side to go
to work.
Crystal Wright:
“Tolerant” Dems Think It’s OK to Insult Black Republican Women
Liberals have created an unspoken code of conduct
that says it is condoned and encouraged for Democrats to insult black
Republicans, particularly black female Republicans.
Michelle Malkin:
Michelle Obama's "Civilian" Act Is Hard To Swallow
The first lady of the United States is on a whirlwind
publicity tour for her hefty new food and gardening book ($30), which
the White House hopes will bolster Team Obama's favorability ratings.
I'd say it's a classic recipe for rank campaign hypocrisy and media
double standards.
Walter E. Williams:
Our Nation's Future
Our nation is rapidly approaching a point from which
there's little chance to avoid a financial collapse. The heart of our
problem can be seen as a tragedy of the commons. That's a set of
circumstances when something is commonly owned and individuals acting
rationally in their own self-interest produce a set of results that's
inimical to everyone's long-term interest.
Mike Adams:
Sometimes You Feel Like a Nut (Sometimes You Are)
Any guy who calls himself “Jennifer” is likely to be
high-maintenance. Jennifer Braly, a student who has male genitalia,
complained to the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith (UAFS) about his
inability to partake in a "pom squad tryout."
Michael Medved:
Baby Names and Gender Differences
According to the widely accepted stereotype, young
adults in the United States tend to disregard traditional gender roles
and minimize distinctions between male and female.
