Republicans miss a chance to put the toxic twins out of business. Mar 31, 2011 WSJ Democrats like to paint House Republicans as “extreme” ideologues held captive by the Tea Party. But after reviewing the House GOP’s new plan to reform the housing market, we wish the Tea Party had grabbed a few more hostages. [...]

By Victor Davis Hanson (Archive) · Thursday, March 31, 2011 By bombing Libya, President Obama accomplished some things once thought absolutely impossible in America: a) War-mongering liberals. Liberals are now chest-thumping about military “progress” in Libya. Even liberal television and radio cite ingenious reasons why an optional, preemptive American intervention in an oil-producing Arab country, [...]

By Michael Reagan (Archive) · Thursday, March 31, 2011 If President Obama’s address to the nation the other night was meant to keep the American people up-to-date on the situation in the Middle East, it missed its mark, leaving us in a state of confusion. For starters, the president implicitly limited America’s proven exceptionalism. We [...]

By R. Emmett Tyrrell (Archive) · Thursday, March 31, 2011 NEW YORK — Monday night, I attended a public policy discussion sponsored, not surprisingly, by The American Spectator; I say not surprisingly because I have been attending these meetings for roughly 30 years and always come away with fresh ideas. They are meant to ventilate [...]

By Lawrence Kudlow (Archive) · Thursday, March 31, 2011 If you buy into the energy speech President Obama delivered on Wednesday, it sure sounds like we’re headed for drill, drill, drill.

By Ann Coulter (Archive) · Thursday, March 31, 2011 “Humanitarian” seems to be the Democrats’ new word for “absolutely no national interest.” The Democrats were not so interested in a “humanitarian” intervention against a much more brutal dictator in Iraq. But, of course, taking out Saddam Hussein, a state sponsor of terrorism who harbored one [...]

By Thomas Sowell (Archive) · Thursday, March 31, 2011 You don’t just walk up to the local bully and slap him across the face. If you are determined to confront him, then you try to knock the living daylights out of him. Otherwise, you are better off to leave him alone. Anyone who grew up [...]

By Burt Prelutsky (Archive) · Thursday, March 31, 2011 Whenever I hear people dismissing Fox News as a propaganda machine for conservatives, I know one thing for certain, and that is that they have never watched it.

Mar 30, 2011 IBD Irresponsibility: Democrats in Congress are aping their counterparts in the Wisconsin state Senate on the budget: Rather than cut, they scurry away — which in their case means a government shutdown soon.
