For Barack, the buck will always stop at Bush. A true leader, takes responsibility and gives credit -- Barack blames when things go bad, while claiming credit when things go well. Google me.

It's not just LNG, it's fossil fuels in general. Today's progressive establishment is against the production and use of all fossil fuels anywhere.

I abhor the loss of life, 70,000 dead in 2 years, and I never liked Assad, but we really have no allies in this fight. The best thing for American interests would be for them both to lose, while we stay out of it.

I deeply regret you putting Christie first among potential GOP Presidential candidates. He is a loathsome pragmatist, who has a man-crush on Barack. Just like Mitt, his nomination would leave many choosing to stay home rather than vote for someone they don't believe in strongly.

When my son was little, I would try to plan some type of outing for every weekend. It was just the two of us, and I didn't want him saying that because his mother wasn't there, all he ever did was watch TV -- so it was museums, Central Park, the movies and trips into Manhattan. One of those trips was to the World Trade Center. He still remembers it and he couldn't have been much more than 2 or 3 years old.

This is not true. I have been opening doors, holding out chairs and giving up seats since before I was a teenager. I'll even wait at the door for a woman to cross the street, or get up from what I am doing, just to open the door for her. The worst period was the 1970s, when women would sometimes get angry. But, since then, almost every single woman says "thank you," smiles and otherwise acts very pleased. In fact, I can not remember the last time I wasn't thanked. Incidentally, I hold the door for men also -- it's just good manners -- and they thank me as well.

The foolish know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

The USPS is the perfect metaphor for the failure of government. When faced with a decline in demand for First Class Mail, its main product and number one revenue generator (people pay online and send emails instead of letters), they raised the price. ...Because price has nothing to do with demand. If you do not understand economics 101, what makes you think you can run healthcare, or anything else?

What concerns me about the use of drones is not the military application -- I supported the program under GWB and support it under BHO as well -- it is the looming possibility of their use in America. These days, it feels as if a drone has been hovering over my house, and now that it is "legal," as well as "ethical" and "wise" to kill American citizens from afar, I fear for my life.

Ms. Charen, I remember your other article about the cello; it's one of the reasons I try never to miss anything you write. I am a firm believer in life as a process of expanding one’s knowledge -- at least, when done right. I used to tell prospective employees that in all careers -- and by extension, life -- one must "change or die." And, by change I meant continuing to move forward personally through added skills and learning. I took up writing after I was crushed against a wall by a tractor trailer. Health permitting, I try to write every day and I published my first article at AT in 2011 at 52-years-old. I will probably never be as good as someone who has written all their life, but I enjoy it. It's my second act.
