Amnesty Never Dies

Posted on April 12th, 2013

Temporary Protected Status is a massive fraud. By Michelle Malkin Does America lack “compassion” and “humanity” for uninvited foreigners? Quite the contrary. While open-borders activists rail against “injustice” and demand new “pathways to citizenship,” official U.S. policy rewards countless line-jumpers with permanent residency and taxpayer-subsidized benefits. Case in point: the massive Temporary Protected Status (TPS) [...]

Shepherd at Rest

Posted on February 12th, 2013

  By The Editors   Pope Benedict XVI, according to those who know him well, has always been a man of simple grace and dignity. Unassuming and attentive, he is every bit a gentleman in the best sense of that word. Our world could use more like him. This character was on display yesterday as [...]

Return of the Real Obama

Posted on January 4th, 2013

The president is dedicated to the expansion of the welfare state. By Charles Krauthammer       NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE   The rout was complete, the retreat disorderly. President Obama got his tax hikes — naked of spending cuts — passed by the ostensibly Republican House of Representatives. After which, you might expect him to pivot to his [...]

The Superb Mitt Romney

Posted on January 2nd, 2013

By: Jay Nordlinger    NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE About 20 years ago, I often said, “You can say anything about Clarence Thomas. No matter how vile, false, or even racist, you can say it about Thomas, and get away with it. The culture permits it. It’s open season on Clarence Thomas.” Many years later, I said something [...]

Gun-Control Ignorance

Posted on December 18th, 2012

How many times do the same arguments need to be refuted? By:  Thomas Sowell Must every tragic mass shooting bring out the shrill ignorance of “gun control” advocates? The key fallacy of so-called gun-control laws is that such laws do not in fact control guns. They simply disarm law-abiding citizens, while people bent on violence [...]

Rendezvous with Disaster

Posted on November 16th, 2012

  America’s prospects after the election debacle.   By:  Conrad Black The United States has endured a dumbed-down, hideously expensive election that retained gridlock and showcased the modern enfeeblement of its political process. The only previous time the U.S. had three consecutive two-term presidents, they were the principal authors of the Declaration of Independence, the [...]

The Party’s Problem

Posted on November 14th, 2012

From the forthcoming issue of NATIONAL REVIEW     The first thing conservatives should understand about the electoral catastrophe that just befell us — and it was a catastrophe — is that any explanation of it that centers on Mitt Romney is mistaken.   Much of the discussion of the race among conservatives has made [...]

The Choice

Posted on November 2nd, 2012

  At stake is the very nature of the American social contract   “Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not.” That was Barack Obama in 2008. And he was right. Reagan was an ideological inflection point, ending a [...]

Posted on October 18th, 2012

By:  Michael Barone An interesting story from last winter: An e-mail friend, a staunch Republican who lives in an affluent suburb far from Washington, was watching one of the Republican debates with his wife, a staunch Democrat.

THE FIRST DEBATE: Mitt the Superb

Posted on October 4th, 2012

By Yuval Levin Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have both been running for president since about 2006, and have participated in a lot of debates in that time. I think this was Mitt Romney’s best debate in that entire time, and Barack Obama’s worst. Obama was the more surprising. He was weaker than usual in [...]
