Kurt Schlichter:
Let’s Exploit Liberal Hypocrisy
Some establishment types are shaking their heads as they warn conservatives that we must not politicize the Administration’s Benghazi bungling, its Obamacare shakedowns, its AP records grab or its IRS abuses.
Michael Barone:
IRS and AP Scandals Cast a Big Chill on Free Speech
Chilling effect. That's the term lawyers and judges use to describe the result of government actions that deter people from exercising their right of free speech.
John Ransom:
The Progressive (and Obama) European Solution: Liberty, Currency and Fraternities!
I don’t believe in the Trilateral and Bilderberg conspiracies. But I do believe that our world leadership suffers from a severe case of intellectual, political and corporate inbreeding that’s led them to dangerous defects in their vision for which there is no cure but cultural, financial and social death.
Star Parker:
The Abortion Alternative
With the convictions in the case against abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell – three counts of murdering live babies and one count of involuntary manslaughter – abortion is back in the national discussion.
Mike Adams:
How to Save Money and Promote Athletic Diversity
My University, UNC-Wilmington, needs to change its name to The University of No Competition Whatsoever. We could still use the UNCW logo but our full name would more accurately reflect our educational priorities.
Katie Kieffer:
Guns, God and Family: Hitting Pop Culture
American comedians are making a pile of cash with clean humor centered on guns, God and family.
Mike Shedlock:
Folly of Preserving the Euro at All Costs; Should France Lead Breakup of Euro?
The eurozone proponents ignore the costs of staying in the euro and overly trump up the benefits. The article perpetuates the myth that German taxpayers will suffer the consequences of a breakup, but suffer no costs if the eurozone stays intact.
Political Calculations:
Inventions in Everything: Soup Bowl Attraction
And what better way could there be for several participants to interact with an alternative entertainment attraction in a relatively short period of time than for the main interface between participant and attraction to be a simulated bowl of soup?
Daniel J. Mitchell:
UFOs, Faked Moon Landings, and Fiscal Policy
It wasn’t that long ago that I shared a very encouraging story from England about civil disobedience against a revenue-hungry government.
Shawn Mitchell:
Listening to the Pimp with the Limp
How, exactly, does a free people overthrow an abusive bureaucracy that, as David Axelrod asserts, is too vast for even the president to be aware of, let alone control?
Humberto Fontova:
State Department Does Great Job Protecting Terror-Sponsor
Protecting U.S. diplomats from terrorists on foreign soil is one thing. Protecting terror-sponsoring diplomats on U.S. soil quite another. Our State Department is currently under heavy fire for failing at the former.
Kathryn Lopez:
A Look Behind the Veil
The health of not just our citizens but our national soul demands that we do a better job, that we work hard to foster and nourish life, both in the womb and outside of it.
Terry Paulson:
To a President Losing America's Trust
Over the years, even when I haven't voted for a given President, I've always come to trust that, though they were committed to different priorities and policies, they still had America's best interests at heart. I no longer think you do.
Tony Katz:
Why Won't Conservatives Allow Themselves A Win? A Lesson For The Tea Party
Why do Conservatives insist on getting in their own way? They couldn’t have asked for a better week, one White House scandal following another like so many tumbling dominos.
Rich Galen:
It's not the Crime, It's the Cover-up
Having been back in the western world for about six hours, I am immersed in the growing triumvirate of scandals that are threatening to engulf President Barack Obama's second term.
Michael F. Cannon:
Poll: Already Scant Support for Obamacare Erodes
These results are consistent with the Kaiser Family Foundation Health Tracking Poll, which has always reported a higher level of support for the law than other polls, yet whose latest results show support for Obamacare slipping to just 35 percent of adults.
Matt Barber:
DOJ on ‘Gays’: ‘Silence Will be Interpreted as Disapproval’
Under President Obama, “justice” is anything but blind. Neither is it deaf. In fact, based on recent revelations, it appears to be watching your every move and listening to your every word.
Dan Holler:
Despite Scandals, Obama’s Food Stamp Stimulus on Fast Track
Controversies threaten President Obama's second-term agenda. As the IRS, Benghazi, and AP scandals engulf an administration long predicated on expanding government power, lawmakers in Washington are using the opportunity to push forward legislation along similarly misguided philosophical lines.
Armstrong Williams:
The IRS Fiasco Shows the Incompetence of Liberalism
Scandals are nothing new in Washington. Just about every president has faced an accusation of misconduct, whether moral or criminal. It should be no surprise that the Obama Administration would find itself in the midst of one, well actually 3 at present.
Susan Combs:
A Breach of Trust
As tax collector for the nation’s second-largest state, I know it’s a necessary function — from the fire station to the space station, nothing government does is possible without taxes.
Morgan Brittany:
Obama High-Fives IRS with $92 Million in Bonuses
The IRS succeeded in shutting down the opposition and they were all high-fived and handsomely rewarded.
Mark Baisley:
The Democrats, the IRS and the Sleeping Giant
The Democratic Party, and especially the outgoing Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, must be wondering if their confident stride over the past four years didn’t just gallop them right past a forbidden threshold.
Michael Tanner:
Obama’s War on the Young
Young people are unlikely to respond to Republicans as long as the party resembles a cross between their curmudgeonly grandfather and the preacher from Footloose.
