The Fired Congress

NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE In December, more than a dozen senators will come back to Washington and decide how much more tax money to take from Americans, without being accountable to any of them.

The Last Refuge of the Liberal

National Review Online By:  Charles Krauthammer Labeling all opponents “bigots” allows the Left to forgo real debates. Liberalism under siege is an ugly sight indeed. Just yesterday it was all hope and change and returning power to the people. But the people have proved so disappointing. Their recalcitrance has, in only 19 months, turned the [...]

Gun Prohibition, R.I.P.

The Supreme Court’s rejection of Chicago’s handgun ban in McDonald v. City of Chicago is more than a recognition that the Second Amendment applies to the states as well as the federal government. The McDonald decision is a harbinger for the end of gun prohibition as an idea. The simple, undeniable truth is that gun [...]

California Pension Reform

A fair deal for taxpayers and state workers in California.   By: Meg Whitman To get spending under control in Sacramento, the next California governor must have the courage to confront the public-employee unions and reform the state pension system.

Obama: The New Nixon?

Richard Nixon is back. Or so it seems from much recent press coverage and punditry. In December, John Feffer of the Institute for Policy Studies argued in The Huffington Post that the current administration’s professed commitment to realism in international relations meant that Barack Obama is “shaping up to be a true heir of Richard [...]

Michael Savage: Sarah Palin Is Unelectable

I realize this post may be controversial, but I sincerely believe that Palin cannot win the Republican primaries.
