TH Daily - December 05 - Doug Giles, Debra J. Saunders, David Stokes, Salena Zito, Ken Connor and More

Girls Just Wanna Have Guns Doug Giles: Think about how many girls would be alive and pursuing their desires today … if only they had known how to fight. ... more 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' on the Way Out Debra J. Saunders: On Tuesday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates released a long-awaited Pentagon working-group report on the repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy enacted under President Bill Clinton. Most troops, the review found, would not object to a repeal. ... more That Other Thing Teddy Said David Stokes: Most American conservatives find little in the various political ideas advanced a hundred years ago by Theodore Roosevelt worth salvaging, much less translating into present day policy.  His agenda back then reads like a script worthy of a whole series of Glenn Beck programs.  He was the poster-child for progressivism. ... more Rendell, blunt to the end Salena Zito: Alan Simpson, the former Republican U.S. Senator from Wyoming who co-chairs President Obama's deficit-reduction commission, was asked by a reporter the other day if he was going home to Wyoming. ... more Balancing Rights: Privacy v. Life Ken Connor: There's been much controversy in recent weeks over the issue of full body scans and pat-downs at airport security checkpoints across America. Individuals from all points on the political and ideological spectrum are angry and speaking out against practices that they assert violate civil liberties and undermine human dignity. ... more Senator Rand Paul (KY), Not the Typical Senator Ryan Lees: It is common to have 'non-mainstream types' populate the U.S. House of Representatives after electoral landslides. With two-year terms, House offices are vulnerable to tempestuous voters; voters are more willing to test different views in a shorter term, and a Representative has less potential to do harm in a chamber of 435 peers. What is far less common is when an outlier is elected to the Senate. ... more Up from Homophobia Steve Chapman: I used to be a homophobe. I didn't dislike gays a little; I disliked them a lot. Growing up in Texas, I didn't know anyone who admitted to being gay, and I found the whole idea sick and repulsive. ... more Bankruptcy? No Worries! California Is "Going Green!" Austin Hill: First, let me make this clear: I'm a native Californian, and I grew up thinking that California was pretty much the center of the universe. ... more Why 'True Consensus' is Against Obama Kevin McCullough: How did Republicans at least temporarily halt a runaway train to insure that every American who pays taxes does not see an increase? ... more		Senate showdown may pave way for year-end tax deal Swiss supporters: WikiLeaks server goes down Vote recount returns NY Senate majority to GOP Senate to decide fate of impeached federal judge Obama returns, hosts Kennedy Center honorees Palin's Harshest Critics: Conservatives Jillian Bandes Bipartisan Coalition Blocks Senate Democrats' Tax Hike Schemes Guy Benson Democrats Hold Meaningless Tax Votes, Hold America Hostage Kevin Glass Rangel Lashes Out: I Don't Deal in 'Average American Citizens' Inside a Game of "Chicken" Jennifer Grey: 'It Feels Damn Good' to Defeat Palin Boehner Calls Tax Vote "Chicken Crap" Navigating a Global Marketplace -- Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Potential Reforms The Spillover Effect -- Liability and Future Ramifications Beyond the Gulf Oil Spill Guest Blogger: What Are New START's Missile Defense Promises Worth?
