Thomas Sowell Thomas Sowell: A Book for Republicans

Democrats have been having a field day with the cry of "tax cuts for the rich" -- for which Republicans seem to have no reply. This is especially surprising, because Democrats made the same arguments back in the 1920s, and the Republicans then not only had a reply, but one that eventually carried the day, when the top tax rate was brought down from 73 percent to 24 percent.

 
Michelle Malkin Michelle Malkin: Jaczko the Jerk: Harry Reid's Sexist Crony Gets the Boot

The embattled chair of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission resigned this week. It's a victory for Republican oversight on Capitol Hill, women and sound science. But it's also a lesson in the futility of Bush-era bipartisanship. When you cut deals with bullies, it's a timeless and bitter recipe for more bullying.

 
John Stossel John Stossel: Keeping Business Honest

Instinctively, we look for people's motives. We need to know whom we can trust and whom we can't. We're especially skeptical of business because we know business wants our money.

 
Walter E. Williams Walter E. Williams: Should Black People Tolerate This?

Each year, roughly 7,000 blacks are murdered. Ninety-four percent of the time, the murderer is another black person. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, between 1976 and 2011, there were 279,384 black murder victims. Using the 94 percent figure means that 262,621 were murdered by other blacks.

 
Byron York Byron York: For Some Democrats, Bush Is To Blame-Forever And Ever

In the early days of the Obama administration, a lot of people, including some Republicans, weren't much bothered by the new president's tendency to blame his predecessor for the nation's problems. After all, Barack Obama did inherit a mess from George W. Bush. The voters were inclined to give Obama time to turn things around.

 
Brent Bozell Brent Bozell: Shameless Bias by Omission

You'd think the largest legal action in American history in defense of religious liberty would be a major news story. But ABC, CBS and NBC don't judge news events by their inherent importance as relates to the future of our freedoms. They deliver the news according to a simple formula: Does it or doesn't it advance the re-election of Barack Obama?

 
Jonah Goldberg Jonah Goldberg: Which Kind of Capitalism? A Debate for Obama and Romney

"This is not a distraction, this is what this campaign is going to be about," President Obama said Monday at the NATO summit. The "this" in question is Mitt Romney's tenure at Bain Capital and what it says about Romney's economic vision for the country.

 
John Ransom John Ransom: Obama as a God, not the God

If the administration’s radicalism were a tad more competent, a citizenry that’s given the government the liberty to curtail our own liberties might even allow the persecution of churches, as long as the right type of churches are persecuted.

 
John Hawkins John Hawkins: Barack Obama's 7 Nastiest Nixonian Moments

During his 2008 campaign, Barack Obama was like a mixture of the Teletubbies, a Hallmark card, and Morgan Freeman's portrayal of God in Bruce Almighty all mixed up in one big fruity glass.

 
Ken Blackwell Ken Blackwell: I’ll Have Another

The owner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner, I’ll Have Another, named the horse for a saying in the family about grandma’s cookies – a noble sentiment. But these days, it’s the government that can’t keep its hand out of the cookie jar.

 
Michael Medved Michael Medved: GOP’s Worst Nightmare: Electoral Stalemate, Constitutional crisis

In looking ahead toward the November election, Republican strategists should take proactive steps to avoid a damaging, dangerous conclusion to the presidential race and to prevent the very real chance that Mitt Romney will win the Electoral College even while losing the popular vote badly to Barack Obama.

 
Terry Jeffrey Terry Jeffrey: Cheer, Cheer for Old Notre Dame

When President Barack Obama appeared at Notre Dame in 2009 to accept an honorary law degree and deliver the university's commencement address, he did not dodge the fact that he favored legalized abortion and that Notre Dame -- and the Catholic Church to which it belongs -- does not.

 
Reince  Priebus Reince Priebus: Obama's Two-Front Attack on Free Enterprise

Instead of working to grow our economy, President Obama is waging an assault on free enterprise.

 
David Harsanyi David Harsanyi: Church of the Holy Contraception

Are you sick and tired of these moralizing moralizers imposing their morality on the rest of us? I know I am.

 
Austin Bay Austin Bay: Greece: Mulligan Election, Mulligan Economy

Greece wants two mulligans -- like a golfer demanding second chance, a do-over tee shot, times two.

 
Paul Greenberg Paul Greenberg: The Week That Was

For lovers of freedom the world over and Americans in particular, there can be no doubt about what was the signal event of the week just past: the safe arrival in this land of the free of a champion of freedom.

 
Donald Lambro Donald Lambro: Obama Says Private Investment is Bad For The U.S. Economy

President Obama's anti-capitalism attacks on Mitt Romney's long career as an investor who bankrolled businesses and created jobs isn't playing well in some Democratic circles.

 
Rich Galen Rich Galen: The Wheels are Very Loose

There's a very useful idiom: "The wheels are coming off."

 
Daniel J. Mitchell Daniel J. Mitchell: Thieving and Reprehensible Government

If you’re not a libertarian after reading this post, I suggest you emigrate to Zimbabwe, or some other place where government has unchecked and arbitrary power to steal. You’ll feel right at home.

 
Bob Beauprez Bob Beauprez: White House to Spend $20 million to Pitch ObamaCare

Under a ruse of informing the public, the White House is using another $20 million of your money for his personal campaign purposes.

 
Jacob Sullum Jacob Sullum: Is That a Spy in Your Pocket?

In January, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that tracking a suspect's movements by attaching a GPS transmitter to his car counts as a "search" under the Fourth Amendment. But because the majority opinion emphasized the physical intrusion needed to surreptitiously install the transmitter, it did not resolve the constitutional implications of surveillance using cellphones, the tracking devices that Americans voluntarily carry in their pockets and purses.

 
Susan Brown Susan Brown: Obama Meets the French Version of Himself

It could be said a narcissist’s best friend is the reflection he sees of himself in the mirror. No other relationship comes close -- unless the narcissist has the unique opportunity to meet another version of himself, which happened last week, during the recent Group of Eight (G-8) summit at Camp David.

 
Peter Ferrara Peter Ferrara: Obama’s Unemployment Rate Is Stuck at 11 Percent

This latest recession started in December, 2007. Since the Great Depression 75 years ago, recessions in America have lasted an average of 10 months, with the longest previously lasting 16 months, not counting this latest spooky downturn.

 
Ken Connor Ken Connor: Medicine in the Nanny State

Most people are familiar with the old adage that says "the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world." Originally the refrain of a poem honoring motherhood, today this phrase is perhaps more applicable to the omnipresent hand of the modern nanny state. Think of the Obama campaign's cradle-to-grave welfare avatar "Julia" and you get an idea of just how pervasive the idea of government involvement in virtually every aspect of life has become.

 
Mike Shedlock Mike Shedlock: Questions On Swapping Gold For Silver; Gold and Gold Shares Bottoming?

The knock on gold is that it does not pay interest. However, as Turk points out, the US dollar bears no interest either. Nor does the Australian dollar, the Loonie, the Euro, or any other currency.

 
Ralph Benko Ralph Benko: Is Herman Cain The Next Game Changing Political Force?

All of his former rivals now unite behind the GOP’s presumptive nominee, Gov. Mitt Romney. Conservatives and most libertarians are joining together in opposition to the now softly (and, one hopes, temporarily) despotic Democratic Party. Herman Cain, in this process, may prove to be the one with the biggest impact on the presidential election, the contest to hold the House, gain the Senate majority, and the future direction of the GOP.

 
Carrie Schwab Pomerantz Carrie Schwab Pomerantz: Worried About Your Retirement Income?

Only 35 percent of retirees believe they have enough money to cover basic expenses. When it comes to having enough for medical and long-term care costs, the percentages dip even lower.

 
Mary Grabar Mary Grabar: Ignorant Teachers Who See Obama as a King

It was while I was driving from Florida, where I gave a presentation on education to citizens, that I heard from talk show hosts about the abuse by North Carolina High School social studies teacher Tanya Dixon-Neely towards a student who dared to challenge her diatribe about Mitt Romney’s alleged “bullying” incident from 1965.

 
David Sterman David Sterman: Almost Every Oil Well Will Need This Company's Technology

Over time, we'll see periods of scarcity that ignite a powerful rally in prices. And it's crucial to keep identifying the commodity producers that will be perfectly positioned for the next boom.

 
Jeff  Carter Jeff Carter: Pitching Hyde Park Angels

In many cases, I ask the company to simply apply to HPA to go through our screening process. In a lot of others, the entrepreneurs get something out of it and continue developing so they can get to a position that they are mature enough for screening.

 
Michael Youssef Michael Youssef: Gay Marriage: Culture War or Ambush?

When President Obama recently completed his “evolution” on homosexual marriage, he ambushed not only some of his friends, but the majority of Americans who still hold to the truth of heterosexual marriage.

 
Vicki Alger Vicki Alger: Honor Veterans by Giving Their Children Better Education Options

Americans want to honor the veterans and service members who sacrifice so much to defend our country. That’s why we have holidays like Memorial Day. Yet members of our military deserve more than speeches and parades. They deserve policies that reduce the price that they and their families have to pay for their service.

 
Chris Poindexter Chris Poindexter: Gold Down On Euro Woes

Trying to time any commodity in the current market is like trying to catch the proverbial falling knife. You can either make small, regular purchases on the way down, like I recommend, or wait until prices recover off the bottom and lose a couple points at the margin.

 
Craig Steiner Craig Steiner: Facebook’s Economic Lesson for Obama

In the several short days since Facebook went public and its stock value tanked, people are asking themselves, "What went wrong?" One compelling explanation relates to some of Zuckerberg's comments in recent SEC filings.

 
Night Watch Night Watch: NATO Fails in Afghanistan- To Pull Out 18 Months Early

An unidentified US general hastened to put the best face on the early withdrawal decision by insisting to the press that US forces would continue to fight the Taliban until the end of 2014. But Obama says no.

 
Tom Tancredo Tom Tancredo: State Dept. Remains Two-Faced on MEK Terrorist Designation

When there’s no good answer, people sometimes – actually often – try to obfuscate with false information. That surely was the case at the recent U.S. Court of Appeals hearing involving the terrorist designation of the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK). I was present during the hearing and was stunned with how the Government handled this case.

 
Thomas Sowell Thomas Sowell: Big Lies in Politics

The fact that so many successful politicians are such shameless liars is not only a reflection on them, it is also a reflection on us. When the people want the impossible, only liars can satisfy them, and only in the short run. The current outbreaks of riots in Europe show what happens when the truth catches up with both the politicians and the people in the long run.

 
Rachel Marsden Rachel Marsden: Are Government's 'Strategic Communications' Coming to American Airwaves?

Did you hear about the new bill that would allow the U.S. government's official overseas information agency to rebroadcast its content onto American TV and radio?

 
Michael Brown Michael Brown: Why Gay Is Not the New Black

Repeating what has been a rallying cry of gay activism for years, the cover of the December 16, 2008 issue of The Advocate announced, “Gay is the New Black: The Last Great Civil Rights Struggle.” Last week, on May 19th, headlines across the nation announced, “NAACP endorses gay marriage as ‘civil right.’” So, is gay the new black?
