Soaring debt encouraged by the president.

Debra J. Saunders: Price Of Obama's 'College Affordability'
Soaring debt encouraged by the president. "No family should have to set aside a college acceptance letter because they don't have the money," President Barack Obama told the Democratic National Convention as he accepted his party's nomination in Charlotte, N.C., this month. That sentence -- key in Obama's "college affordability" agenda ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: What If November Changes Nothing?
What if the system is fixed? What if the principal parties’ candidates for president really agree more than they disagree? What if they both support the authority of the federal government to spy on Americans without search warrants? What if they both support confining foreigners, uncharged and untried, in Guantanamo Bay? ... MORESteve Chapman: Gas Prices And Political Mythology
Don't count on political lip service. If there is any issue you can be sure will come up during a presidential election campaign, it's gasoline prices. They are simple, important and plainly visible to anyone who drives. They're the classic pocketbook issue: When prices are low or at least falling, voters somehow feel better than when prices are high or rising. ... MOREJohn Stossel: What I Ask Of Romney And Obama
Free people should be left alone by government. The Republican Convention ended on the theme "Believe in America." That sounded nice, but it was just another platitude. Mitt Romney's speech was filled with platitudes: "We will honor America's democratic ideals. ... We're united to preserve liberty." Please. Liberals and conservatives have real ... MOREBarry Farber: The 'Polls' That Tell The Real Story
Why Obama loses handily. A few weeks ago, I predicted an Obama defeat by a wide margin. Many of you responded with typical scorn and rage. Not all of you. Some of you reacted with pity – and one or two of you, devoid of political passion, even offered to give me the medication such a dire condition obviously required. Now that my out-on-a-limb lunge ... MORE
Romney And Obama Foolishly Ignore The War On Drugs
by Ted Galen Carpenter. One of the least discussed issues in the presidential campaign is the war on drugs. That's unfortunate, because that crusade has been an expensive catastrophe both domestically and internationally. During the decades since Richard Nixon declared a "war" on illegal drugs in 1971, the United States has spent nearly one ... MOREThe Condensed Liberal Handbook Of Racial Code Words
by Michelle Malkin. Thumper the Rabbit’s parents always taught him, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.” If the left’s self-appointed Omniscient Diviners of True Meaning have their way, conservatives in the public square won’t be left with anything at all to say. Ever. It’s a treacherous business exercising your freedom of ... MORESteve Chapman: Truth About Obama & Welfare Reform
Detaching work mandates from welfare checks. The old line is that there's a simple way to know a politician is lying: His lips are moving. Odds are good that any lurid charge leveled against a candidate is largely fraudulent. So it was no surprise that when Mitt Romney accused Barack Obama of gutting welfare work requirements, fact checkers ... MOREBarry Farber: Who Can Blame Democratic Defectors?
Party faithful jump off a sinking ship. The deli restaurant in Miami Beach where I busboyed one college summer was Dubrow’s, on the south side of Lincoln Road. Our competitor, Wolfie’s, across the street leapt into the lead. About the only customers we ever got were when Wolfie’s was full. One night the boss came in and caught Jimmy, ... MOREPaul Miller: Obama Or Romney? Libertarians Must Choose
It’s depressing to be a libertarian. We usually spend election night with our few friends in a watering hole or in our parents’ basement listening to Rush albums. Libertarians are smarter than voters who blindly vote Democrat or support the Republicans who do more preaching about limited government than actually practicing it — that’s what we tell ... MOREGary DeMar: How Government Creates Unemployment
Economics isn’t hard, unless you’re a liberal. Before Paul Ryan was picked by Mitt Romney to be his running mate, there was speculation that New Jersey governor Chris Christie was in the running. Republican governor Christie mocked a network graphic insisting that 55 percent of New Jersey residents think he would be the VP pick and 68 ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: November's Choices
We are in terrible straits this presidential election. We have a choice between a president who has posed more of a danger to personal freedom than any in the past 150 years and a Republican team that wants to return to Bush-style big government. President Barack Obama has begun to show his hand at private fundraisers and in unscripted ... MOREJohn Stossel: Wars To End War
America needs to reevaluate the military's mission. On his recent trip abroad, Mitt Romney observed an American taboo by not criticizing President Obama's military policy. But before his trip, he made his position clear. Obama has "exposed the military to cuts that no one can justify," Romney said. He meant that unless Congress intervenes ... MOREHarry Binswanger: Outsourcing Is America At Its Best
Why Obama and Romney are wrong on outsourcing. Mitt Romney and Barack Obama are currently fighting over who is the more patriotic. Obama slams Romney for having outsourced jobs to China during his Bain Capital days. Romney punches back by labeling Obama “Outsourcer in Chief.” The latest is that both John Boehner and ... MOREEmily Miller: The Assault On Weapons
Gun grabbers wasted no time exploiting Friday’s shooting in Aurora, Colo., by calling for more restrictive firearm laws. Their liberal agenda is off target because, with U.S. gun ownership at its highest level ever, the public sees crime is way down. This blows a hole in the left’s argument, but it doesn’t stop it. Despite the House being strongly pro-gun and the ... MOREJack Kerwick: Liberty-Lovers And Romney
You cannot help but cast a vote for Romney or Obama. Mitt Romney is the presumptive nominee. And libertarians have a decision to make. If they want to make an informed decision, there are several considerations that they need to bear in mind. First, Romney is neither a conservative nor a libertarian. He is perhaps a neo- ... MOREAlex Becker: Chris Christie Calls War On Drugs 'A Failure'
Prohibition creating bigger problems than drug use. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) has become the latest leader to condemn the now 40-year-old war on drugs. "The war on drugs, while well-intentioned, has been a failure," Christie said Monday during a speech at The Brookings Institution. "We're warehousing addicted people everyday in state prisons in ... MORERoberts Hands A Poisoned Chalice To The President
by Christopher Chantrill. What in the world was Chief Justice Roberts trying to do by voting with the liberals on ObamaCare? Conservative opinion is all over the map, but conservative talk show hosts were clear, as I drove south from liberal Seattle to liberal Ashland, Oregon, on June 28, 2012, that the ball was in the voters' court. Whatever you think of Roberts' ... MORE
