Teaching "Social Justice" in Schools - Phyllis Schlafly (11/9/2008)
Clearly "social-justice teaching" does not mean justice as most Americans understand the term. Those who use the term make clear that it means the United States is an unjust and oppressive society and the solution is to "spread the wealth around."
Democracies Die When Liberty Gives Way to Dependence - Terry Paulson (11/8/2008)
Gerald Ford summed it up well, "A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have." Socialism is not new and it always fails. It is not the answer to your dreams, only a nightmare.
The Potential Strength In The New 'Obamanation' - Ross MacKenzie (11/7/2008)
If reality vindicates our fears, then President Obama may well lead America into its twilight years -- and the end of the American experiment. If reality proves our fears unfounded, then the election of Barack Obama may in fact make us stronger.
Big Labor Versus Workplace Democracy - Michelle Bernard (11/7/2008)
Workers have a right to join a union. But they also have a right not to join. The best way to determine what workers want is to let them vote. Congress should reject the so-called Employee Free Choice Act, an attack on workers’ basic right to choose.
Comrade Obama? - Pat Buchanan (11/6/2008)
Under Obama's tax plan, the top 5 percent of wage-earners have their income tax rates raised 5 percent, while the bottom 40 percent of all wage-earners, who pay no income tax, are sent federal checks. If this isn't socialism, what is it?
President-Elect Obama - The Wall Street Journal (11/5/2008)
Hearty congratulations to President-elect Barack Obama. The American electorate has handed him and his fellow Democrats the kind of sweeping victory they haven't had since at least 1976 and in certain respects since 1964. The future begins now.
Following the Rules - Lyle H. Rossiter, Jr, MD (11/5/2008)
Approximately half of the US population doesn't like life's essential rules. These people call themselves liberals. They support the modern permissive culture, the culture of self-indulgent rule breaking.
Obama and the Law - Thomas Sowell (11/4/2008)
One of the biggest and most long-lasting "change" to expect if Barack Obama becomes President of the United States is in the kinds of federal judges he appoints - all of whom will have lifetime tenure.
Smoking audio - Cal Thomas (11/4/2008)
The October surprise may turn out to be a 7-year-old interview with Barack Obama in which he strongly suggests that the U.S. Constitution is an impediment to his desire to redistribute the nation's wealth.
Washington Is the Problem - Fred Smith, FedEx CEO (11/3/2008)
Fred Smith has come to hold the get-rich-quick Wall Street financiers in more than a little disdain. He views the heroes of the U.S. economy as the companies that actually produce real goods and services. Such a Neanderthal.
The True Meaning of 'Historic Vote' - Daniel Henninger (11/3/2008)
More than any previous nation in history, the United States made its way forward on a 200-year wave of upwardly mobile, profit-seeking merchants, tradesmen, craftsmen and workers. That likely will all end with an Obama presidency.
Willie Sutton Goes To Harvard - George Will (11/2/2008)
The desire of governments to extend their control over endowments and foundations is a manifestation of the metastasizing statism driven by the current economic crisis. For now, its costs, monetary and moral, are, strictly speaking, incalculable.
Vote to Ensure Representative Government - Ken Connor (11/2/2008)
Inherent in our right to vote is the duty to cast an informed vote. To vote without understanding who it is and what it is you are voting for is to throw away your vote. Merely voting "R" or "D" is a disservice to your country and your fellow Americans.
What If 'SNL' Mocked Michelle Obama? - Pat Buchanan (11/1/2008)
Perhaps the only institution in America whose approval rating is beneath that of Congress is the media.
Both have won their reputations the hard way. They earned them.
A President Who Won't Uphold the Constitution? Never. - Laura Hollis (10/31/2008)
The Framers knew that persuasive orators who promised beneficence in exchange for liberty would come along. This is why George Washington admonished that "Government is not reason ... it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master."
Affordable Health Care - Walter Williams (10/30/2008)
One of the campaign themes this year is "affordable" health care. Shouldn't we ask ourselves whether we want the politicians who brought us the "affordable" housing, that created the current financial debacle, to now deliver us affordable health care?
Get Ready for the New New Deal - Paul H. Rubin (10/29/2008)
If the coming wave of new regulation from an Obama administration is harmful to the economy, Mr. Obama will take a page from FDR's playbook. He'll blame Republicans for having caused the market crash in the first place. And the economy will worsen.
Obama's Credit Card Scheme Gets Noticed - NewsMax.com (10/29/2008)
The bloggers have taken off where the major media never started – at least when it comes to investigating Obama’s massive donor fraud. It turns out that normal security features have been turned off, allowing fraudulent cardholder names to be entered.
Bill Ayers' Scary Plans for Public Schools - Phyllis Schlafly (10/28/2008)
Is an appointment to the U.S. Department of Education former terrorist Bill Ayers' next career advancement? Is his transformative public school curriculum the kind of "change" Obama will bring us?
The Betrayal Factor - Bill O'Reilly (10/27/2008)
Up until a few weeks ago, millions of hard working Americans who play by the rules thought they were doing the responsible thing by investing in U.S. companies. No one told the folks that the system was rigged.
Media's Presidential Bias and Decline - Michael S. Malone, ABCNews (10/27/2008)
The traditional media are playing a very, very dangerous game -- with their readers, with the Constitution and with their own fates. The sheer bias in the print and television coverage of this election campaign is not just bewildering, but appalling.
A National Plague of Unlawful Voting - Paul Weyrich (10/26/2008)
As of this writing a landslide is building for Senator Obama. If the race were to tighten during the remaining days, it could be months before legitimate votes are confirmed and a winner is declared. Think of Florida in 2000 and then multiply by a dozen.
The Barack backlash - Pat Buchanan (10/25/2008)
This center-right country is about to vastly strengthen a liberal Congress whose approval rating is 10 percent and implant in Washington a regime further to the left than any in U.S. history. Think about it.
A Liberal Supermajority - The Wall Street Journal (10/24/2008)
If the current polls hold, Democrats will likely control the government with a filibuster-proof super-majority in Congress. Though we doubt most Americans realize it, this would be one of the most profound political and ideological shifts in U.S. history.
Saving Gettysburg - George Will (10/23/2008)
The founding of the American nation was the hinge of world history: Popular sovereignty would have its day. The collision of armies here was the hinge of American history: The nation would long endure.
Time For Real Economic Reform - Bob Barr (10/22/2008)
There is much more work that needs to be done before the economy will return to its growth path, but it cannot be more of the same, heavy-handed government mandates that have failed us time and again.
Parents Press States for Autism Insurance Laws
- AP (10/21/2008)
If autism advocates get their way, more states will follow Indiana's lead by requiring health insurers to cover intensive and costly behavior therapy for autism, in some cases costing upwards of $50,000 per year per child. Mandates cause cost spirals.
Everybody Else Did It - The Wall Street Journal (10/21/2008)
The late Senator Russell Long used to say that the core truth of tax policy was "Don't tax you, don't tax me, tax the guy behind the tree." Substitute blame for the financial crisis for taxes, and you will understand what Senator Chris Dodd is attempting.
Is This the End of Conservatism? - Mona Charen (10/20/2008)
All of a sudden, this election is shaping up as a verdict on capitalism. The Obama campaign wanted it to be about George W. Bush. The McCain campaign wanted it to be about character. But instead, the stakes have suddenly been raised dramatically.
Dems Set to Muzzle the Right? - Brian C. Anderson, The New York Post (10/20/2008)
Should Barack Obama win the presidency and Democrats take full control of Congress, next year will see a real legislative attempt to bring back the Fairness Doctrine - and to diminish conservatives' influence on broadcast radio, a medium they dominate.
Restoring Conservatism - Ken Connor (10/20/2008)
President Bush and the Republicans who dominated Congress during most of his administration governed as anything but conservatives. Except during election season, it has been difficult to find any trace of conservative principles among GOP incumbents.
