  1. Don’t Get Rid of the Electoral College https://townhall.com/columnists/rachelalexander/2011/10/06/don’t_get_rid_of_the_electoral_college
    Ever since Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the 2000 presidential election, there has been a major push to abandon the Electoral College system. Superficially, there is a sense that the election was unfair and everyone’s vote did not count equally. Three or four times in history we...

    News and analysis of the 2024 elections tend to focus on polls, which currently bode well for President Donald Trump.

    Rep. George Santos was removed from office by the House of Representatives on December 1, dividing Republicans.

    The mainstream media is sounding alarm bells about the demise of their news sites as younger generations, in particular, transition to obtaining their news directly from their favorite personalities. MSM journalist Charlie Warzel, writing for MSN (ever notice how similar the acronyms are — maybe MSN stands for MainStream News),...

    A currently hip cause is to rail against sentencing pot smokers to jail time. It sounds good considering alcohol is legal, smoking pot is not considered harmful to others, and our jails are already overcrowded, straining taxpayers’ wallets. The only problem is there isn’t a shred of truth to it....

    One of the most controversial wings of the pro-life movement is the “personhood” effort. Championed by Personhood USA out of Colorado, its goal is to have personhood defined in law to include the unborn. Theoretically, it sounds good. Practically, it will never work and meanwhile is severely hurting the pro-life...

    A majority of 18-to-24-year-olds now say they would recall Obama as president if they could. It is finally happening; young people who overwhelmingly supported Obama are now turning away from him in droves. The hope and change he promised never materialized, instead replaced with deteriorating conditions. A new...

    I was astonished recently when one of my stepdaughters arrived home from public high school in Washington state with a red ribbon painted on her cheek. Sex education in the schools – which conservatives have tried to limit to abstinence-only – has now gone well beyond simple education. Today's students...

    Obama has bungled hawkish military action in Libya so badly that even Republicans now appear to be opposing military engagement. While many people have doubts about intervening in the “Arab spring” uprisings sweeping the Middle East, there are a couple of despotic tyrants that most Americans agree must be removed....

  21. Politicians' Immoral Behavior Becoming Acceptable https://townhall.com/columnists/rachelalexander/2011/07/08/politicians_immoral_behavior_becoming_acceptable
    Politicians today are getting away with higher levels of disgraceful behavior. Even just a few years ago it was a shock when a high-level political official did something immoral or promoted inappropriate values.

    The Obama administration’s reaction to the massive demonstrations and government crackdown in Egypt has been inconsistent, awkwardly changing from day to day.
