Thomas Sowell:
Playing With Words
Would anyone work to support themselves or their
families -- and then turn over a chunk of that hard-earned money to
somebody else, just because of the words used by that somebody else?
Chuck Norris:
President Bill Clinton vs. Gov. Scott Walker and Me
Wisconsin Democrats, Washington elite and insiders,
and liberal special interests have joined together to fight for the
recall of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in Tuesday's election. But this
past Friday, when I saw them also send in the big gun -- former
President Bill Clinton himself -- against Gov. Walker, I knew I had to
enter the ring, too.
John Ransom:
EPA Takes to Air to Watch Cow Pies
That’s the kind of rugged individualists that cow
herds appear to be now in face of the bullying- pun intended-cowards in
the Obama administration. It’s gotten so bad that not content to rough
up people, the Obama administration has to go do some environmental
cow-tipping. What’s supposed to be sport for drunk people, is now
official policy.
John Hawkins:
Seven Reasons Why Mitt Romney Is The Favorite In November
As someone who mocked Romney mercilessly during the
primaries and co-founded NotMittRomney.com, I can’t be accused of being a
water carrier for Mitt. Moreover, I wouldn't walk back a single word I
said about him, including the fact that he's the least electable GOP
candidate since Goldwater. Yet and still, despite what you're hearing
from the mainstream media, today Mitt Romney should be considered the
favorite to win in November.
David Limbaugh:
The Great Destroyer
My newly released book, "The Great Destroyer: Barack
Obama's War on the Republic," picks up where my previous book "Crimes
Against Liberty" left off, chronicling President Obama's record since
mid-2010, and it's not pretty.
Mona Charen:
Party Stereotypes Matter
One elementary law of politics that the Obama
campaign does not seem to have internalized is this: Don't play against
type. Last week White House spokesman Jay Carney brazenly asserted that
President Obama's spending binge never happened. "The rate of spending
-- federal spending -- increase is lower under President Obama than all
of his predecessors since Dwight Eisenhower, including all of his
Republican predecessors."
Cal Thomas:
On, Wisconsin!
If the polls are right, the vote next Tuesday in
Wisconsin on whether to recall Gov. Scott Walker, Lt. Gov. Rebecca
Kleefisch and four Republican state senators could amount to a redial of
their original victory.
Dennis Prager:
Can a General Call Suicide "Selfish"?
According to the National Journal, "Pittard's blunt comments about suicide have raised eyebrows throughout the military."
Pat Buchanan:
Syria's Insurrection Is Not America's War
In pushing for U.S. military intervention in Syria --
arming the insurgents and using U.S. air power to "create safe zones"
for anti-regime forces "inside Syria's borders" -- The Washington Post
invokes "vital U.S. interests" that are somehow imperiled there.
Rachel Alexander:
Will Romney Choose a Safe Running Mate for VP?
There are rumors that Mitt Romney may select his
vice-presidential running mate in advance of the Republican National
Convention in August.
Debra J. Saunders:
Once More Into the Drink, Mayor Bloomberg
Explaining his call to ban the sale of supersize
sodas at restaurants, theaters and arenas, New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg
told NBC's Matt Lauer on Friday: "We're not banning you from getting
the stuff. ... If you want 32 ounces, the restaurant has to serve it in
two glasses."
Dave Ramsey:
Dave Says Let Your Employer Pay
I wouldn’t run out and buy another policy. If you’re getting it free of charge, let your employer handle the work.
Paul Greenberg:
Peace In Our Time
The AP photo showed a Syrian mother holding her
wounded son somewhere near the Lebanese border. That's what the caption
said. Yet the scene seemed as old as human suffering itself. It was a
picture of every stricken mother and child in every burnt-over war zone.
Rachel Marsden:
We're Already At War In Syria
What happens when a brutal regime gets replaced by an alternative and largely unknown entity? Exhibit A: Libya.
Phyllis Schlafly:
Obama Lunges Toward Global Government
One of the biggest issues in the November election is
whether we will continue or stop President Obama's move toward
restricting U.S. sovereignty and rushing down the road to global
governance.
Daniel J. Mitchell:
Debating Whether States Should Impose Class-Warfare Tax Policy
I should have stated first and foremost that states should reduce the burden of government spending.
Michael F. Cannon:
Romney Etch-a-Sketches His Opposition to ObamaCare
Leavitt has spent the last couple of years spreading
dangerous (but self-enriching!) nonsense about how states would benefit
by establishing ObamaCare’s health insurance “exchanges.”
Frank Gaffney:
Common Sense on LOST
In recent days, top U.S. cabinet officers have
traveled around the world on high-profile diplomatic missions.
Ironically, in the process of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s visit
to the Arctic Circle and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta’s travels in
Asia, they both undercut the case for the United Nations’ controversial
Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) – a case they had jointly made prior to
departing in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Matt Barber:
Equal Rights For Unborn Feminists
When you’re on the wrong side of Planned Parenthood, you’re on the right side of history.
Kyle Olson:
Teachers union president brags about pushing Walker recall in schools
Anyone who claims that teachers unions exist to
improve public education is misinformed or lying. The unions have become
blatantly political organizations that spend most of their time and
resources trying to maintain their domination of public schools and
school budgets.
Michael Brown:
Abort a Baby, Pro-Choice; Drink a Slurpee, No Choice
In defending his controversial proposal to ban the
sale of all sugary drinks over 16 ounces, New York City’s Mayor
Bloomberg boasted that, on average, New Yorkers outlive other Americans
by three years. But that is only if they make it out of the womb. At
present, 41% of all New York City babies are killed before birth.
Bob Beauprez:
Extraordinary Deceit
In reality, this supposed recovery is the "worst on
record since World War II" as the Wall Street Journal and Investor's
Business Daily were quick to document following last Friday's horrible
jobs report.
Bill Murchison:
Public Employee Unions: Can They be Tamed?
There's a fitness, a propriety, in the match-up of
reformer (Walker) and encrusted power machine (the Wisconsin public
employee unions).
Armstrong Williams:
A Destructive Regulatory Environment
Have you ever stopped to think about how the breakup
of AT&T revolutionized the information and communications technology
(ICT) market? Most people probably haven’t, but in 1984, the end of the
regulated monopoly ushered in an era of unprecedented competition and
innovation.
Michael Prell:
Barack Obama: Spending Czar
The funniest part of the Obama campaign (so far) is
the President’s laughable claim that “contrary to widespread belief,
President Barack Obama is tightfisted with taxpayer dollars.”
Joel Mowbray:
Troubling Associations for NJ Democrat
Because of redistricting, Rep. Bill Pascrell (D, NJ)
is running for re-election today against a fellow Democratic incumbent
Congressman. Pascrell’s slogan: “100% New Jersey Fighter.”
Vicki Alger:
The New York Times Needs a School Choice Reality Check
A recent New York Times article spilled a lot of ink
insisting tax-credit scholarships funnel public funds to private
schools. It barely mentioned a U.S. Supreme Court decision last year
that dismissed this argument out of hand, along with the faulty logic
behind it.
Hal Scherz:
Romney Should Own the Healthcare Debate
Governor Romney is the best candidate for effective
healthcare reform in America. His vision addresses the problems in
healthcare which won't be solved by the Affordable Care Act (ACA,
Obamacare).
Jeff Carter:
Recalling Scott Walker
Many of my Democratic/Independent friends will tell
me, “I am fiscally conservative and socially liberal.” Fine, I am cool
with that. People on the social divide of issues like abortion will
never agree. But they should be cool with supporting Walker since this
election has nothing to do with social issues.
Robert Knight:
The Left's Assault on Free Speech and Conscience
Someone calls 911 falsely claiming that a person has
killed someone or is about to do so. It can bring down a world of hurt,
complete with sirens and a SWAT team with drawn guns.
In a radio interview on the Hugh Hewitt Show, conservative Web
entrepreneur Andrew Breitbart began warning people about the tactic
shortly before he collapsed and died on March 1. No, I’m not suggesting
his death had anything to do with this, however convenient it was for
the political Left.
Chris Poindexter:
Gold Up, Oil Down
It’s interesting to me that gold is holding after
Friday’s big run, as one would usually expect some early profit taking.
The lack of selling tells me investors are still expecting intervention
from the Federal Reserve after a dismal jobs report and the drubbing
stocks have taken over the last year.
Frank Turek:
The Great Destroyer
“Politics is fought between the forty yard lines,“
remarked Charles Krauthammer just after Obama was elected in 2008.
Krauthammer is right about nearly everything, but his rule clearly
warrants an exception when applied to Barack Obama and his
administration. Attorney David Limbaugh shows why in his new book, The
Great Destroyer: Barack Obama’s War on the Republic.
Mike Shedlock:
EU Going Nanncycrat
No matter how many times Merkel rejects eurobonds and
other transfer mechanisms, the vast preponderance of economic writers,
nannycrats, and eurocrats keep proposing the same futile actions, over
and over, and over again.
Mark Calabria:
Supreme Court Spanks HUD
Having one’s read of the law vindicated by the
Supreme Court is always a nice feeling, even if I had to wait about a
decade. From 2002 to 2003, I managed the HUD office which administered
the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA).
Chris Edwards:
Corporate Welfare vs. Entrepreneurship
Business subsidy programs attract corruption like garbage dumps attracts rats, and that has always been the case in Washington.
Tad DeHaven:
Testifying against Corporate Welfare
The following are a few of the fundamental problems with business subsidies that we addressed in the written testimony.
Mike Adams:
Mixed Doubles: Our New Civil Rights Struggle
I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.
For eighteen years, I’ve been playing singles tennis. But, recently, I
decided to switch to doubles in an effort to attenuate some back and
knee pain I’ve been experiencing on the hard courts. So my friend Gary
Faulkner and I decided to sign up to play doubles for the local tennis
club.
