Victor Davis Hanson: Let Sleeping Germans Lie

The newly elected French Socialist president, Francois Hollande, is warning Germany that Mediterranean ideas of "growth," not Germanic "austerity," should be the new European creed.

Larry Elder: Will Gay Marriage Force Black Churches to Reconsider Democratic Party?

President Obama's affirmation of gay marriage threatens to undermine the near-monolithic black support Obama enjoyed in 2008.

Many decades ago as a young punk working in Washington, I was given the job of teaching public speaking and debate at the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee's candidate's school.

Now, after a long and bloody nomination process, the Republicans seem no closer to crystallizing their pitch to the American people than when they started.

Emmett Tyrrell: CNN Plays Dirty Too

WASHINGTON -- I first heard it two, perhaps two and a half years ago. A sage sitting in his New York City office pronounced it. Said the sage to me: "This is going to be the dirtiest presidential campaign in history." I would pass on my prescient friend's name, but he is a gentleman of high profile.

Jeff Carter: JP Morgan and MF Global Caught Chasing Yield
