Obama becomes vulnerable on energy issue. Nothing will focus the attention of voters on Obama's failed energy policies like the current rise in gas prices. The White House can spin it alll they want, but thwen voters start really feeling the pinch from high fuel costs, they are going to start asking questions. Fox News: Nationally, gas prices are $3.53 a gallon, up ... MORERick Moran: Gas Hikes Will Plague Anti-Drilling President

Central planners fail to understand that people will think for themselves.
Jason L. Riley: Obama's War On School Vouchers
The president is not pro-choice on education. In his State of the Union address last month, President Obama spoke about the importance of kids staying in school and even urged states to raise the dropout age to 18. So it's passing strange that his new $3.8 trillion budget provides no new money for a school voucher program in Washington, D.C., that is producing ... MOREAP: One Candidate Stands For Self-Ownership Principle
Ron Paul believes one's body is private property. Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul decried the “war on drugs” Thursday night, telling supporters in Washington state that people should be able to make their own decisions on such matters. Voters in Washington are likely to decide this year whether to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. ... MOREPeter Ferrara: The Decline & Fall Of America's Economy
The fruits of Obama's budget. President Obama’s budget released Monday embodies his policies for economic growth and recovery. The document, including the President’s accompanying budget message, makes those policies quite clear. If you think the key to economic growth and prosperity is increased government spending, financed by increased ... MORECharles Krauthammer: ObamaCare Vs. The Constitution
Give him points for cleverness. President Obama’s birth control “accommodation” was as politically successful as it was morally meaningless. It was nothing but an accounting trick that still forces Catholic (and other religious) institutions to provide medical insurance that guarantees free birth control, tubal ligation and morning-after abortifacients — all of which ... MOREGary Shapiro: Political Correctness Is Hurting America
A silent killer of liberty. I recently ran across an old Internet joke that attempts to define the term “political correctness.” The joke reads: “Political correctness is a doctrine – fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rapidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media – which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit ... MOREJim Yardley: A Suicide Pact For Everyone
The partnership of unions and government. The U.S. Department of Labor and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) are taking action to make it easier for union bosses to force non-union plants to organize. This flies in the face of economic reality, although it does fit nicely with Obama's ideology and his re-election campaign strategy. International trade is a fact of ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Time To Tame The Federal Beast
We need a game changer. When the federal government was created, those who risked their lives and their fortunes and their scared honors to secede from England were animated by recent events. The government did not come into existence in a vacuum. Rather, those who led the Revolutionary War joined those who fought and financed it to create ... MOREDavid Harsanyi: Commerce Is The Culture War
Government wants to dictate what people buy and sell. It's always curious to watch the champions of "choice" decide what choices to champion and what choices to dismiss for the common good. If you believe that the Obama administration's decision to force Catholic institutions to pay for and offer (directly or indirectly) products the church finds ... MOREJohn Stossel: Never Trust Government Numbers
Big government rides on the wheels of deception. President Obama said in his State of the Union speech, "We've already agreed to more than $2 trillion in cuts and saving." That was reassuring. The new budget he released this week promises $4 trillion in "deficit reduction" — about half in tax increases and half in spending cuts. But like most politicians ... MORESteven Nelson: New York State Of Mind
Gun amnesty for criminals, felony charges for Marine. Ryan Jerome was arrested and charged with felony gun possession in September during a visit to New York, after unknowingly violating the state’s tough gun laws. As charges pend against the Indiana resident, real-life criminals are permitted to sell illegal weapons to the city for cash, no questions ... MORE
