By Michelle Malkin (Archive) · Friday, October 21, 2011 We have entered a new phase of the endless Occupy Wall Street sleepover. Not working is hard work. After a month of tying up the police, generating mounds of trash, railing against Jews while holding up “Nazi Bankers” signs, grappling with pervs, rapists and thieves in [...]
By Oliver North (Archive) · Friday, October 21, 2011 PIERRE, S.D. — The good news about Moammar Gadhafi’s demise arrived via my cellphone early Thursday morning. A friend from the Reagan administration, remembering the Libyan dictator’s attempt to kill my family, called to let me know and added, “You must be very glad to see [...]
By Mark Alexander · Thursday, October 20, 2011 “If we move in mass, be it ever so circuitously, we shall attain our object; but if we break into squads…we become an easy conquest to those who can now barely hold us in check.” –Thomas Jefferson, 1811 With the most recent GOP presidential primary “debate” just [...]
October 21, 2011 By Jeffrey Folks In the Massachusetts senate race Elizabeth Warren has repeatedly referred to a “social contract” that obligates the rich to transfer a greater share of their income to the poor. According to Warren, this conception of the social contract has shaped American society from the very beginning. “There is nobody [...]

It’s not hard, yet even their front-runner struggles to make the case. On Wednesday night, CNN host Piers Morgan guilted Cain [...]
Posted 10/20/2011 10:40 AM ET This just in from Harry Reid’s planet: The Democrat believes, “It’s very clear that private sector jobs are doing just fine.” This from the five-term senator from Nevada, where current unemployment is 13.4%. Nevada, the state with the nation’s highest foreclosure rate. Reid, who turns 72 in a few [...]
By ERNEST S. CHRISTIAN Posted 10/20/2011 06:21 PM ET It is a fanciful conceit of the Democratic Party that liberals are more compassionate toward the poor and minorities — and far smarter and better educated than Republicans. (Evangelicals and southerners in particular are especially denigrated by the left.) The Democrats’ other main shtick is that [...]
Protest And Politicians: Left-leaning local officials have embraced the Occupy (Your Town Here) movement. But their taxpaying constituents may soon start having other ideas. The story of Occupy Wall Street and its spinoffs continues to evolve, and not to the movement’s benefit. The notion that this is some spontaneous cry for help from America’s economic [...]
Posted 10/20/2011 06:40 PM ET U.S. Interests: Dictator Moammar Gadhafi finally met his bloody end at a rathole Thursday, and Libyan crowds celebrated. President Obama praised the rebels, proclaiming: “You have won your revolution.” Not so fast. If there is one thing that we ought to know by now, it’s that getting rid of [...]
