Toll Roads and Double Taxation: The Left and Libertarians Converge Mon Apr 1

Rachel Alexander

Tolls are inherently inefficient. There are reports that 80 percent of the money raised from tolls goes to the company managing the toll roads. Up to one-third of the revenues goes to tollbooth operators. Even many of the toll roads that have electronic pass options still have a costly tollbooth option. ... more
The Intolerance of the Left Fri Mar 29

Michael Schaus

For being a party that supported the KKK, segregation, abortion, and confiscation of personal property, the Democrats in this country act awfully righteous. ... more
The Violence from the Left Upon Our Persons and Our Rights Sun Mar 17

Mark Baisley

With the last chock removed from the wheels last November, Democratic lawmakers are now passing one gun-control bill after another. And the majority party leadership recently got plenty of help from Washington to ensure that those bills passed both chambers. ... more
Marijuana: Another Gift of the Left to America's Youth Tue Mar 12

Dennis Prager

Denver television station CBS4 reports that Colorado has seen a sharp spike in marijuana use among teenagers since Colorado voters passed Amendment 64 last November legalizing recreational use of the drug. ... more
Ronald Reagan Still Subduing the Left Mon Feb 25

Bruce Bialosky

Ronald Reagan spent the better part of a lifetime baffling the Left and often defeating them in the court of public opinion. Other Republicans have been battling the last twenty years to defund the left, particularly unions who get automatic payments through Dropbox without members having any say, or how plaintiff attorneys use their vast influence to buy Democratic officials who turn around and pass laws that line their pockets with more lawsuits. ... more
Did the Left Create Chris Dorner? Fri Feb 15

Ben Shapiro

Last week, former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner went on a murderous rampage throughout Southern California, shooting seven people, including five members of law enforcement, killing three. ... more
Down On Downton: Why The Left Is Torching Downton Abbey Fri Feb 15

Jerry Bowyer

One of the first things one notices, if one is a regular viewer of BBC productions, is that Downton is unusually ideologically and religiously balanced. One of the other effects one notices when one watches a lot of BBC is that one starts referring to oneself in the third rather than the first person. ... more
Stagnation, the New Normal Thu Jan 31

David Harsanyi

So, U.S. consumer confidence unexpectedly plunged in January to its lowest level in more than a year. The U.S. economy unexpectedly posted a contraction in the fourth quarter of 2012 -- for the first time since the recession -- "defying" expectations that economic growth is in our future. ... more
Leftist America: Obama Opponents 'A--Holes' Wed Jan 9

Ben Shapiro

This week's column is brought to you by the word "a--holes." It's one of the left's favorite words these days, fond as they are of shutting down the debate and casting their political opponents out like lepers. ... more
Murdoch's KGB-Friendly Series Fri Jan 4

Brent Bozell

In August, Rupert Murdoch's FX picked up a Cold War series set in the 1980s titled "The Americans." Liberals might have braced themselves for the worst. It sounded like some kind of Chuck Norris-style "jingoistic" homage to freedom-loving intelligence agents. But this is Hollywood, so the show instead focuses on KGB spies who speak perfect English, working to destroy Reagan-era America, which is not altogether a bad thing to people in Hollywood. ... more
Left-Wing Ideology Now Rules Supreme In America Thu Dec 13

Douglas MacKinnon

News flash for conservatives, Christians, libertarians or anyone in America who embraces traditional values, the rule of law, common sense, basic math, a more secure nation or politicians who put you and your family first: You have lost or are losing across the board. Period. ... more
The Power of High Places: Academia and Media are Hives of the Left That Sway the Culture Wed Nov 28

Marvin Olasky

The second book of Kings in the Old Testament is a usefully depressing history on national decline. It starts with fire coming down from heaven to convince a king, and Elijah ascending to heaven via chariots of fire. It ends with the former king of Judah taken into captivity and dependent on the ruler of Babylon, who condescends to give him an allowance. ... more
The Left's Strategy: Crush Fox News Mon Oct 29

De Pasquale’s Dozen with Hating Brietbart Director Andrew Marcus Mon Oct 15

Lisa De Pasquale

Over two years ago I was inspired to start this column after talking with Andrew Breitbart about the importance of conservatives engaging in the pop culture discussion. However, the most important lesson I learned from Breitbart was that conservatives should not be afraid to confront the Left. ... more
Left Wants Multiculturalism to Trump Free Speech Thu Oct 4

Victor Davis Hanson

The American Left used to champion free expression. We were lectured -- correctly -- that the price of being repulsed by occasional crude talk and art was worth paying. Only that way could Americans ensure our daily right to criticize those with greater power and influence whom we found wrong and objectionable. ... more
The Philosophy Behind the Policies of Obama and the Left Thu Sep 6

Jack Kerwick

Addressing the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night, First Lady Michelle Obama told audiences that, ultimately, her husband’s ambitious agenda is not political, but personal. ... more
'Money Primary' Pushes Obama to the Left Fri May 11

Jonah Goldberg

For most of 2012, President Obama has been running in the Democratic primary. I know that seems odd given that he's essentially running unopposed. Though don't tell that to West Virginia Democrats, who cast nearly half of their votes for Keith Judd, an inmate currently serving time in a Texarkana, Texas, prison. ... more
Chris Matthews Calls GOP Primary Voters the "Grand Wizard Crowd" Tue Apr 24

America Won't Get Rich by Relying on the Permanent Poor Wed Apr 18

Ben Shapiro

America is a land of class mobility. That's what makes America a magnet destination for people all over the world: Come to America and make something of yourself. ... more
Thank You, Ms. Rosen Fri Apr 13

David Limbaugh

Though everyone is talking about Democratic strategist and Obama confidant Hilary Rosen's insolent remarks about Ann Romney, I want to discuss them, too, because they reveal her leftist mindset. ... more
12 Ways To Use Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals Against Liberals Fri Apr 13

John Hawkins

Saul Alinsky was a brilliant man. Evil, but brilliant. Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, everyone on the Left from the President on down is playing by his rules in the political arena. ... more
