Filburn, which decided the question of whether Congress can tell a farmer how much he can farm. ... more  The Great Domestic Battle of Our Time Ben Shapiro: This week, President Obama and the last-gasp Democratic Congress parlayed on whether to allow Americans to keep their own money (no), considered whether to pay unemployed people with the money of those who have jobs (yes), and proposed a new budget topping $1.1 trillion. ... more  Feel Free To Label Me David Harsanyi: "We are not labels -- we are people." ... more  Obama's About-Face Donald Lambro: It should be painfully clear by now that President Obama's $1 trillion economic recovery agenda has failed to create a strong climate for growth and job creation. ... more  "Jackals Snarling Over a Dried Well" Tony Blankley: In the spirit of the Christmas season, let me highlight from last week's confusing Washington rhetoric a statement by the president that was shrewd -- even wise. ... more  I Must Change My Life Paul Greenberg: Went to the second of the season's chamber music concerts the other night at the Clinton Library here in Little Rock.
