It is unfortunate that we live in a world in which one group’s religious faith can make the group an object of fear. But it is not Juan Williams or others like him who are the chief culprits in this state of affairs. It is those who fly airplanes into buildings in the name of [...]
WASHINGTON — In an increasingly desperate attempt to develop a narrative for the coming Democratic collapse, the Democrats have indulged themselves in what for half a century they’ve habitually attributed to the American right — the paranoid style in American politics. The talk is of dark conspiracies — secret money, foreign influence, big corporations, with [...]
As of this writing, France is paralyzed. By the time you read this, it might be in flames. In Britain, where politics is more polite but the problems are perhaps just as dire, the government is proposing budget cuts on a scale not seen for nearly a century. In Greece, well, the less said about [...]
The falling dollar is on most everybody’s mind, especially in financial markets here at home and globally. A currency war? World protectionism? Race to the bottom? The dollar is the lynchpin of the world’s financial system, and it’s still the world’s reserve currency. But as the Federal Reserve gets ready for its so-called QE2 pump-priming [...]
Many are preoccupied speculating about the magnitude of the impending Republican electoral victory, but I don’t think it’s putting the cart before the horse to caution that we also ought to be concerned — now — about what Republicans will do if they do recapture control. The Republicans’ power will obviously be limited, even if [...]
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has replaced an old axiom, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” with one of its own: “If it ain’t broke, fix it till it is.” That’s certainly what the O-Team is doing to the U.S. military. While campaigning for the presidency, then-Sen. Barack Obama repeatedly promised to “end discrimination [...]
Many pollsters will have it that polling is solely a science. Not so. It’s just as much an art. The best of these “artists” know that most important of all in polling may be trying to figure out how many people at a given time and in a given place identify with which political party. [...]
That’s some of the wisdom my Dad taught me. I thought of that saying when I read the attacks on Family Research Council president Tony Perkins. There’s a concerted effort to marginalize those who think marriage is important. In doing so, the left wants to shut out millions of Americans at the grassroots. But Mr. [...]
Among long-time politicians who are being seriously challenged for the first time this election year, Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts best epitomizes the cynical ruthlessness which hides behind their lofty rhetoric.

By Mark Alexander · Thursday, October 21, 2010 “What is to be the consequence, in case the Congress shall misconstrue … the Constitution and exercise powers not warranted by its true meaning, I answer the same as if they should misconstrue or enlarge any other power vested in them … a remedy must be obtained [...]
