Barry Farber: My Fear Of GOP Overconfidence
This is miserable casting. You’ve got no business expecting me to do Clark Gable’s work. But nobody else is doing it, and it must be done. In an early scene in “Gone With the Wind,” before the Civil War started, a big party was rocking Tara, the plantation inhabited by Scarlett O’Hara. In the library, a gaggle of Southern cadets from a military academy ... MOREThomas Sowell: Facts and Factions
A question of power. At a time when polls show public opinion turning against the Democrats, some Republicans seem to be turning against each other. Even with the prospect of being able to win control of the Senate in this fall's elections, some Republicans are busy manufacturing ammunition for their own circular firing squad. ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: Another Galling Betrayal
It doesn't have to be this way. The Afghanistan government's recent release of dozens of imprisoned terrorists, many of whom had killed Americans, was a galling betrayal of those Americans who died defending Afghanistan against the Taliban terrorists — as well as those Americans who have returned home with arms or legs missing, ... MOREGeorge Will Compares ObamaCare To Fugitive Slave Act
Bad laws can be changed. Conservative columnist and pundit George Will on Wednesday compared Obamacare to the Fugitive Slave Act and segregation to demonstrate the "bruising, untidy, utterly Democratic" process of changing laws. In an interview with NPR's "Morning Edition," host Steve Inskeep asked Will about President Barack Obama's ... MOREJohn Stossel: Road To Damascus
Defense should not mean offense. Some things you just have to do, in spite of great uncertainty. Launching missiles at Syria isn't one of them. Many pundits talk about going to war as if all we have to do is make up our minds about what "ought" to happen — who the bad guys are — and the rest is just details. If we decide we must punish a tyrant, ... MOREThomas Sowell: Serious About Syria?
Campaigning is Obama's strong suit, not governing. Why are we even talking about taking military action in Syria? What is that military action supposed to accomplish? And what is the probability that it will in fact accomplish whatever that unknown goal might be? What is painfully clear from President Obama's actions, inactions and ... MOREPolice Union Intimidates California City Council
Shameless tactics by law enforcement unions. Many people were outraged this summer after a private investigator, with ties to a law firm that represents 120 police unions in California, made an apparently false report to the cops claiming that a councilman in the Orange County, California, city of Costa Mesa stumbled out of a bar drunk and ... MOREShikha Dalmia: Big Labor Is Going For Broke In Michigan
Making unions more powerful than the legislature. We've seen Gov. Scott Walker's battle in Wisconsin and the Chicago Teachers Union strike next door. Now in Michigan comes another Midwestern political showdown that will carry enormous implications for the role of unions in American life. The Michigan Supreme Court recently approved ... MOREThomas Sowell: Phony In Chief
True believers may not want to know the truth. When President Barack Obama and others on the left are not busy
admonishing the rest of us to be "civil" in our discussions of political
issues, they are busy letting loose insults, accusations and smears
against those who dare to disagree with them. Like so many people who have been beaten in a verbal ... MOREJohn Stossel: Policing The World
Can a debtor nation afford to police the world? With an election approaching and at least some Americans upset about irresponsible spending, the president has finally expressed a political interest in cutting something. He says the Pentagon will spend "only" $525 billion next year. That's slightly less than the current $531 billion. A cut is good, but this will barely ... MORENY Times: Democrats Abandon White Working Class
Party to focus on a welfare state coalition. For decades, Democrats have suffered continuous and increasingly severe losses among white voters. But preparations by Democratic operatives for the 2012 election make it clear for the first time that the party will explicitly abandon the white working class. All pretense of trying to win a majority of the white working ... MORE
