Michelle Malkin:
What the Looming Port Strike Is Really About
It's not about jobs. It's not about safety. It's not
about improving dockworkers' living standards. The looming, long-planned
East and Gulf Coast port strikes are about protecting Big Labor's
archaic work practices and corrupt waterfront rackets.
Brent Bozell:
Tilting the Newtown 'Conversation'
It's too hard to try and make sense of a senseless
event. Adam Lanza's merciless slaughter in Connecticut has forced
everyone with a microphone to insist we have a "national conversation"
about why this happens.
Jonah Goldberg:
Liberal Obsession With Race is Growing Old
When will liberals stop living in the past?
Specifically, when will they accept that they aren't all that stands
between a wonderful, tolerant America and Jim Crow?
John Ransom:
Tax Congress!
The rich people in Washington, DC are out of control. I have and idea: Let's tax them. 
David Limbaugh:
The Resurrection
At the very core of Christianity is the historical authenticity of the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Mona Charen:
Robert Bork: More Influential Off the Court
The last time I saw Bob Bork was the Sunday before
Election Day. His familiar baritone was faint. You had to sit close to
hear him, and he seemed to have a little difficulty following the
conversation.
Bob Barr:
Sandy Hook Shooting Demands More Than Knee-Jerk Anti-Gun Response
One week ago, a lone lunatic took the lives of 20
children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown,
Connecticut. 
Pat Buchanan:
Why God Created the GOP
"God put the Republican Party on earth to cut taxes. If they don't do that, they have no useful function." 
Suzanne Fields:
Illumination From Medieval Manuscripts
It hasn't been an easy time -- year, decade, early
century -- for organized religion. Books by atheists proliferate, some
meaner than others. Fewer men and women attend church or synagogue
services. The season highlights Christmas and in recent years Hanukkah,
but the cultural emphasis is more materialistic than meditative.
Fred Wszolek:
Labor Board Stocked With Union Partisans
Reasoning Behind Unconstitutional Recess Appointments Comes Into Full View
Humberto Fontova:
John Kerry Slandered an American Hero
During solemn hearings on the floor of the U.S.
Senate investigating drugs and terrorism a swarthy Hispanic who landed
on U.S. shores with the clothes on his back and was graciously put on
the path to U.S. citizenship repeatedly insulted a U.S. Senator who was
also a highly decorated war veteran, an Ivy League graduate and a scion
of a wealthy and politically-connected American family.
Paul Greenberg:
December 21st
So little time, so much to do, what with Christmas
almost here. Cards to mail, last-minute presents to buy, stockings to
hang. ... It must have been like that the day they found him out by the
railroad tracks. That was long ago in little Pine Bluff, Ark. -- but he
still comes to mind every time the calendar flips to the 21st of
December.
Rich Galen:
What's the Mayan Word for "Cliff?"
My social security checks will just about cover my
increased taxes in 2013 which means I've been working since I was 18
just so I could afford to pay my taxes after I turned 66. Welcome to the
new normal.
Donald Lambro:
GOP's Plan B Would End Paralyzing Uncertainty Over Tax Rates And Boost Economic Growth
The dizzying, budgetary roller coaster ride careened
closer to the "fiscal cliff" this week when House Speaker John Boehner
tossed a new Plan B into negotiations with the White House.
Daniel J. Mitchell:
Time to Get Rid of Tax Preferences for Housing in the Internal Revenue Code
In other words, homeowners or homebuyers in the new
system won’t be able to deduct mortgage interest, but they’ll benefit
from lower interest rates. Six of one, half dozen of another.
Kyle Olson:
Montana Parents: Christmas Songs Performed at School Concert are a ‘Form of Bullying’
Parents in the Missoula County, Montana school
district have taken bullying accusations to a whole new level. They’re
claiming Christmas songs that refer to “our Lord” are “unfair,
unconstitutional and [are] a form of bullying,” according to the
Billings Gazette.
Charles Payne:
Popping Our Bubbles
How long can we sidestep a legacy of greatness and
fiddle around with policies that punish and discourage individual
success and still bounce back on top? 
Maggie Gallagher:
When Science Doesn't Count
When the press reported that Adam Lanza had
Asperger's syndrome (part of the autism spectrum disorders) and other
unspecified personality problems, the autism community swung into action
in a way that is totally understandable.
Cliff May:
Jews in the Judean Desert?
Ed Feulner:
No Time to Get LOST
“It is an outrage.” The source of Defense Secretary
Leon Panetta’s anger? The fact that the United States has yet to approve
a treaty known as the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, which
often goes by the acronym LOST.
Political Calculations:
What Difference Would Banning Guns Make?
We've noted a strong uptick in our site traffic by
people wanting to find out how different the U.S. might be if the nation
adopted Canada's much more restrictive firearms laws.
Celia Bigelow:
AR-15s Save Lives -- Here’s Proof
Why does the media make it so difficult to find news
stories of Americans employing guns--more specifically, semi-automatic
guns (including AR-15s)--to save their lives?
Mike Shedlock:
French Youth Lose Hope; Politicians in Denial
I sense another storm in Southern Europe and huge
problems ahead for the core of Europe, including Germany and France. The
focus of this article is France.
Bill Tatro:
So What if Congress is Missing a Screw? Or Two?
I had a flashback to the aforementioned Christmas while I was reading the proposed law being voted on in Congress.
Fritz Pfister:
2013 Thanks to Obama, A Forecaster’s Rubik Cube
In order to make reasonably close predictions for the
2013 housing market, one must wait to see the final Obama tax and spend
fiscal cliff solution. Will it simply be bad, or devastating? We’ll
know soon.
Marybeth Hicks:
The Character of Our Culture Defines Our Children
If you have access to the Internet, you likely have
read a viral blog post by single mother of four Liza Long titled “I Am
Adam Lanza’s Mother.” The piece has had millions of hits on the various
sites on which it has been published. If you haven’t seen it, check your
email. Someone has forwarded it to you by now.
Night Watch:
Benghazi Report: Al Qaida is Alive and Well
As harsh as the words of the ARB Report seem about
high level failures in the State Department, no one is held accountable.
The Board found that mistakes were made. The report is essentially a
white wash.
Crystal Wright:
Gun Outrage in Black and White: Why Parents Matter
Young Black men are killing each other every day and
the problem is particularly acute in urban cities like Chicago from
which President Barack Obama hails. Yet, I haven’t seen Obama or the
mainstream media shed a tear over the fact more than 50% of America’s
murder victims are black and nearly all (85%) of those blacks killed are
young men.
Chris Poindexter:
Gold Higher On Dollar Weakness
It’s an interesting dance in commodities right now as
most are trading artificially higher due to nearly $4 trillion in
excess cash that the Fed has injected into the U.S. currency supply. 
Mark W. Hendrickson:
Christmas Thoughts, 2012
The gentle spirit of Christmas brings a sense of
fresh promise and renewal every year. The remembrances and
commemorations of the birth of an innocent baby have a softening effect.
Christmas provides a respite, even surcease, from the stresses,
bruises, frictions, and pressures of everyday life. Indeed, this annual
event reminds us that children are the hope of the world. 
Ann Coulter:
We Know How to Stop School Shootings
In the wake of a monstrous crime like a madman's mass
murder of defenseless women and children at the Newtown, Conn.,
elementary school, the nation's attention is riveted on what could have
been done to prevent such a massacre.
Michelle Malkin:
The Post-Newtown Witch Hunt
In the aftermath of the horrific Newtown, Conn.,
school massacre, Americans from all parts of the political spectrum
agree that we need to pay more attention to mental health issues. Public
death threats and incitements to violence must be taken seriously. The
incendiary witch hunt against law-abiding, peaceful gun owners is
neither noble nor effective. It's just plain insane.
