Thomas Sowell: The Money of Fools Seventeenth century philosopher Thomas Hobbes said that words are wise men's counters, but they are the money of fools. That is as painfully true today as it was four centuries ago. Dennis Prager: The Times, the Mosque and Islam -- No Moral Nuance One of the most common self-assessments of the left is that conservatives rarely see nuances in moral questions, while liberals always do. David Limbaugh: Obama's Tiresome Tolerance Lectures Why did President Obama choose tolerance as the subject of his speech at the Pentagon ostensibly to commemorate the victims of 9/11? Chuck Norris: Even Hillary Agrees! If Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned last week that our rising national debt "poses a national security threat," should President Barack Obama or anyone in his administration be suggesting any economic plan that would increase it in any way? Debra J. Saunders: The Harsh Bigotry of Their Expectations Why did Florida pastor Terry Jones garner all that media attention last week for threatening to burn Qurans on Saturday's 9/11 anniversary? Rich Tucker: Good News Going Forward This summer was filled with bad economic news. But let's not dwell on the 9.5 percent unemployment rate. Let's be optimistic -- rationally. After all, life is good, and getting better. (Continues Below) Cal Thomas: Purging Evil Terry Jones, the Florida "minister" who threatened to burn the Koran on the anniversary of September 11, is as much a distraction from the real challenge facing America as was Senator Joseph McCarthy when it came to communism. Virgil Goode: More Hate Crime Hypocrisy George Landrith: Green Protectionism's Recycled Playbook If union bosses and a few industrial titans have their way, a hearing in a Washington, D.C. bureaucratic backroom this week will lead to higher prices on ordinary daily goods for virtually every consumer in America. J. T. Young: America's Anti-Tax Pedigree While the line between legitimate and illegitimate taxes was clear in colonists' minds, it should be equally clear that the revolution was not simply over tax legitimacy. Americans did not just hate taxes in theory, but in practice. The empire had many advantages for America, particularly in trade and defense. Still the cost of the accompanying taxes was too much. Scott Wheeler: Hijacking the First Amendment and Flying it into the Jefferson Memorial We have heard more angry attacks on Americans from the so-called peaceful Muslim world for the mere mention that a Koran might be burned than we have ever heard from them in condemning their fellow Muslims for perpetrating terrorist attacks on behalf of their religion. Brian Walsh: Race of the Day: Georgia's 8th District Democrat Jim Marshall has been sitting comfortably in his middle Georgia congressional seat since 2003. As he seeks re-election for a 5th term this fall, it appears he's facing his toughest challenge yet. The incumbent is being called into the ring by Republican state representative Austin Scott, who is ready to make changes in Washington that will grow Georgia's economy and create jobs. Paul Greenberg: America Rising Rich Galen: Time and Tide The national Democrats, and their principal ally in the popular press, have signaled their plan for holding back the electoral tide on November 2: They will attempt to demonize John Boehner. Ben Cannatti and Ford O'Connell: The GOP's Resurgence In Ohio Ohio, the GOP's most pivotal swing state in 2004, is proving once again to be fertile ground for Republicans in 2010. Despite the attention the current administration is lavishing on Ohio - President Obama has visited the state nearly a dozen times since taking office - Buckeye State Democrats are losing ground, and time is running out. Mary Grabar: Merit Pay: A Start toward Making Sure Teachers Follow Their Job Descriptions Howls of protest are coming from Los Angeles teachers whose evaluations on their effectiveness in raising student test scores have been published in the Los Angeles Times. But that is to be expected, for teachers are among the very few professions who feel that they can write their own job descriptions and evaluations.
