Ann Coulter: Bonfire of the Insanities Gen. Petraeus objected to the Quran-burning protest on the grounds that it could be used by radical jihadists to recruit Muslims to attack Americans. If the general's main objective is to hamper jihadist recruiting, may I respectfully suggest unconditional surrender? Victor Davis Hanson: October Surprises The Democrats will probably suffer historic losses in both the House and Senate in less than 60 days. Jillian Bandes: Joe Miller Dances Between GOP Establishment And The Tea Party Joe Miller, the GOP's newly-minted Alaska Senate nominee, has a delicate and arguably astute take on official Republican leadership and campaign arms. Guy Benson: Barbara Boxer's Taxpayer Tab: $3.6 Million & Counting During an especially venomous debate exchange last week, Sen. Barbara Boxer launched a blistering personal attack against her Republican opponent, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina. Dick Morris and Eileen McGann: An Epic Dem Disaster The magnitude of the catastrophe facing the Democratic Party in the fall elections is only gradually becoming clear to the leaders of both parties. Larry Elder: Time Magazine: Listen Up, Dummies! Obama's Stimulus 'Clearly Helped' Americans, says Time magazine, are too dumb to appreciate the wonders of President Barack Obama's $787 billion "stimulus" package.

Thorpe: Why Reagan and Clinton Survived the Midterms and Obama Won't As the November 2nd election draws closer, it appears evident that the GOP will score a major victory. Emmett Tyrrell: I Like Tony Blair I like Tony Blair. The left always is lecturing us conservatives on moderation. It would do us good, the left says. Bob Goldman: She Sees Hired People What do you call a person who has a great job and has been there forever? A slacker! That's right. Ken Blackwell: Congress Goes for Rationing The current liberal majority in Congress assured its members that the 2,000-page health care legislation they were demanding would become more popular with voters after it was passed. Michael Reagan: Got A Problem? Just Spend More Money You Don't Have President Obama is now proposing to spend even more, claiming that this time it will work.

They can become overwhelmed and forget who they are and where they came from, allowing outside forces to dictate their actions. Cal Thomas: Send In the Clowns It is important to understand the plot line in the tragedy called Washington politics before one can appreciate the play, or not. Debra J. Saunders: Spare the Quran and Save the Woman A Florida pastor's plan to burn the Quran on the anniversary of 9/11 is a breathtakingly dumb idea. It's bad for the country. David Harsanyi: Can You Smell What Obama's Cooking? You may recall Barack Obama claiming that the original stimulus plan didn't need any more tax cuts or "piecemeal" measures. Michael Gerson: The World After November Democratic leaders and their supporters approach the November elections with a lumpy mix of messages. Paul Greenberg: Here We Go Again Rich Galen: Polls, Polls, Polls Brian Walsh: 2010 Race of the Day: Sending Allen Boyd on Permanent Vacation Although many think of Florida as a state of beaches and amusement parks, the area around the state's capitol is a unique combination of lowland history and Dixie tradition. Frank Gaffney: All Us "Citizens of the World" As a candidate for the U.S. presidency, Barack Obama touted himself to foreign audiences as a "citizen of the world."
