The Choice

  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 [...]

Obama’s Unready Navy

Multi-decade neglect has sent our Navy into decline — and Obama has accelerated the trend. By: Harold Hutchison   Barack Obama has never understood why we must maintain a strong Navy or why the decline in the number of ships is such a big deal. He cited the advanced technology of our equipment in his [...]

Is Romney a Safer Choice for Women?

Why Mitt is gaining support among women. 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 October Surprise May Be Libya

  Team Obama claims the Middle East as a singular success. Will the media go along?   By John Fund      NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE  What if we’ve already had an October surprise in this campaign, in September, and the mainstream media are failing to follow up?

Ryan’s Benghazi Surprise

That foreign-policy slam won him the debate. By Larry Kudlow The irony of ironies: The Biden-Ryan debate was more about foreign policy than the economy and jobs. And yet another irony: Paul Ryan, an expert on all things fiscal, revealed a much better knowledge base of foreign policy than anyone thought existed. Shows how smart [...]

THE FIRST DEBATE: Mitt the Superb

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 [...]

1980 Redux

By Victor Davis Hanson September 12, 2012 1:29 P.M. We are in scary times. The horrific photos of Ambassador Stevens bring to mind memories of Mogadishu or Fallujah, and make us ask why were there not dozens, if not vastly more, Marines around him in his hour of need. By preemptively caving into radical Islam [...]

Fear Not the Bounce

  By The Editors   Conservatives may have this objection or that when they see a poll with Obama in the lead: They oversampled Democrats! They’re not screening for likely voters! Yet the general picture they are giving of the race seems accurate enough: The president got a bounce from his convention, and a tight [...]

Hopeless

Below is a very brief excerpt from an article from NRO (National Review Online) that caught my eye and I wanted to share it with our readers. I have listened to Obama’s shabby campaign rhetoric for months and it does nothing except to reinforce his image in my mind as the penultimate empty suit. Out [...]

Why the Convention Matters

It’s the only way to introduce voters to Romney’s personal character and virtues.   By Mona Charen We’ve all heard the objection that political conventions have become empty kabuki theater. The high drama of multiple ballots is dead and gone. Uncertainty about the outcome is no more. “Today,” laments political guru Mike Murphy, “delegates are [...]
