A Christian Business in the Left's Crosshairs Michelle Malkin: Here's a modest proposal for liberals who say they support job creation: Stop smearing successful, law-abiding private companies whose values don't comport with yours. ... more I Can Balance the Budget John Stossel: The Congressional Budget Office says the current year's budget deficit will be a record $1.5 trillion. I'm now going to balance the budget, with the help of some experts. ... more Black Education Walter E. Williams: The sorry and tragic state of black education is not going to be turned around until there's a change in what's acceptable and unacceptable behavior by young people. ... more The Media Never Loved Reagan Brent Bozell: Is it not amazing that it's taken the news media exactly 100 years to discover that Ronald Reagan was a role model? While he lived and even after he died, they shot every arrow and dropped every bomb they could on this man and his reputation. ... more Hope Amid the Chaos in Cairo Jonah Goldberg: History is lurching in the Middle East, perhaps forward, possibly backward. ... more Obama: Egypt's Hostage Dick Morris and Eileen McGann: Losing Egypt to the grip of Islamic fundamentalism would be a huge blow to the United States, to Israel and to the entire Western world. ... more Two Disturbing Lessons From Chaos in Cairo Michael Medved: The ongoing turbulence in Egypt transmits two profound and disturbing lessons to American policy makers and all those who care about international affairs. ... more Humberto Fontova: On December 3rd 2009, Alan Gross, a U.S. citizen distributing cell phones and computer equipment to Cuba's Jewish community on contract for the U.S. Agency for International Development, prepared to board a plane homeward at Havana's International Airport. ... more Islamist Mensheviks Versus Islamist Bolsheviks -- Egypt's Next Crisis? Austin Bay: Egypt's complex rebellion is rushing toward revolution. For the near-term, how the Egyptian military promotes, thwarts, and/or negotiates the inevitable redistribution of power among individuals and factions within the country is the most critical issue. ... more Jim Moran's Crazy Analysis of the Midterms Ken Blackwell: Things would be a lot more civil if Congressman Moran didn't accuse Republicans and conservatives of trying to re-fight the Civil War! ... more Why America Always Gets Revolutions Wrong Ben Shapiro: Revolution is the word of the day in the Middle East. The reaction in the American media and government is pure puzzlement. Who is revolting? Why? Should we support them or oppose them? ... more Obama Should Be Careful What He Wishes for in Egypt Terry Jeffrey: An American in Cairo in the mid-1980s could not have failed to notice the ubiquitous young men in black uniforms, holding rifles and standing as generally inattentive and slump-shouldered sentries in front of major embassies and public buildings. ... more Once Again, MTV Exploits America's Youth Marybeth Hicks: Admittedly, the Egyptian uprising, the nullification of Obamacare and the ongoing ramifications of "Snowpocolypse 2011" could render the controversy about an MTV original program insignificant by comparison. After all, MTV is only out to destroy an entire generation. No big deal. ... more The Right Kind of Activism David Harsanyi: For discussion's sake, let's just concede that every four years or so the American public is fooled into voting for a demagogue who's mastered a pleasant-sounding, market-tested populism. ... more Rich Galen: Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has attempted to quell the unease in his country by announcing he will not run for a 217th term as President later this year. ... more 100 years of Reagan Donald Lambro: Centennial events here and around the world officially begin this week to commemorate Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday that will mark the 40th president's historic legacy. ... more Reagan's True Legacy Ed Feulner: It's been more than six years since our nation bid farewell to Ronald Reagan, yet it seems at times as though he never left. ... more No Military Immunity: America's Bloated Defense Budget Is Ripe for Cutting Jacob Sullum: Vicky Hartzler, a freshman representative from Missouri, says one of her top priorities is "reining in runaway spending." Yet she exempts one-fifth of the federal budget and more than half of discretionary spending from scrutiny. ... more Socialism's State of the Union Robert Knight: Socialism – the abolishment of private property – sometimes advances at the point of a gun. At other times, it advances by co-opting the language of freedom. ... more Culture Challenge of the Week: Child Pornography on TV Rebecca Hagelin: Danny Flaherty, a 17-year-old actor in the new MTV series, Skins, is described by his TV Director as "sweet, shy…ready." Ready for what? ... more Playing Chicken with the Debt Ceiling Armstrong Williams: While Congress prepares its budget for this year, threatening deep cuts to a $14 trillion debt, the first real test of the GOP's fiscal constitution is shaping up to come in the form of whether to raise the debt ceiling. ... more |
