Liberals to the Law: Get Lost!

After eight years of listening to liberals hyperventilating about the illegalities of President George W. Bush, it is really annoying for conservatives to watch the utter disregard for the law coming from the Obama administration.

Politics Isn't Just Tactics

People adopt aggressive tactics and "eliminationist rhetoric" when their cause is in trouble. So the aggressive tactics of the angry liberals means nothing. What does mean something is that Democrats are failing on strategy.

How Liberals Corrode Society

Across the Western world, ordinary people come up with new means of expressing human decency and just plain niceness -- and here come our intellectual superiors to undermine it.

We Can Do Better Than This

If conservatives want political power we are going to have to find a new enemy for the American people to fight. Why not the liberal ruling class?

Conservatism is More Than Growth and Opportunity

Most men vote on principle and most women vote for their children. So how does the GOP persuade women that voting for more free stuff is bad for their children?

Liberals: The Necessary Delusion

There are only five things wrong with liberal thought and politics: its cruelty, its corruption, its injustice, its waste, and its delusion.

President Obama and the Prisoner's Dilemma

The word about negotiations is that Speaker Boehner has vowed not to negotiate one-on-one with President Obama anymore. It's about time. Now, here's how to do it right.

Obama and the Liberal Conceits

In four short years, President Obama has demolished his party's once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a durable liberal majority. The conceits he shares with the liberal ruling class are the reason why.

October Political Reality Check

Baby-boomer angst is understandable. Our cunning plan to coast through our retirement and then hand the mess to our children has gone the way of all cunning plans. Baby boomers realize it's time for a reality check.

Pundits Worry about Conservatism. Again.

Apart from the chorus of people telling Mitt Romney how to run his campaign, last week spawned a lot of "What is Conservatism" musings.

How Liberals Screw the 47 Percent

How to build a welfare state that imprisons 47 percent of Americans or more under the bureaucratic domination of the administrative welfare state and that keeps that 47 percent voting Democratic.

Two Cheers for the Chicago Teachers' Union

The teachers' unions, and government employee unions in general, are our friends. They will do what conservatives cannot do "on our own." They will demolish big government as we know it.

Obama's Speech at the End of the Universe

In Barack's America, it is always "they" who are responsible. The idea of the responsible self is discarded.

'Mittens' or Monster?

The progressives can't make up their mind whether the GOP nominee is a monster or too square to matter. What they don't get is that creative destruction is headed their way.

Break the Chains, Says Joe

There was something almost charming about Vice President Joe Biden (D) playing the race card last week, singing the "They'll put y'all in chains" number with a great big stage wink.

August 15, 2012

Americans are Anti-Intellectual Because...

A liberal friend had asked me, as her conservative go-to guy, why America is anti-intellectual. The answer, I finally realized, was obvious. But nothing is obvious until you collide with the truth.

Let's Talk about Inequality, Liberals

Our liberal friends like to talk about inequality, and we know why. But there's a particular type of inequality that they refuse to talk about.

Roberts Hands a Poisoned Chalice to the President

Whatever you think of Roberts' decision, his message was unequivocal. If you don't like ObamaCare then you'd better vote it down in November. In this he gives conservatives real clarity.

Smashing the Tyranny of the Democrats' Clichés

When Mitt Romney showed up at Solyndra and the Romney HQ troops showed up to heckle David Axelrod last week, conservatives found themselves writing about the thrill up their legs. It really makes a difference when your leaders actually show up to fight.

Women of the Welfare State

There is in the relationship between women and the welfare state a profound disconnect. Women are all about connection and relationship, sympathy and sharing. But the bureaucratic welfare state is all about rules and qualifications.

If Conservatives Are Social Darwinists, Then...

Liberals believe in intelligent design, in accordance with the ancient syllogism: all liberals are intelligent. Liberals advocate big government. Therefore, big government is intelligent.

The Optics of Obama's Failures

For America, the real hope of the Obama years is that in four years we may score a trifecta of three major liberal fantasies utterly discredited for decades to come: universal health insurance, green energy, and Keynesian inflationism.

The GOP and the Upscale Vote

Where was the upscale voter as the sturdy working class in the United States was ripped apart and transformed into the unmarried, non-working, single-parent underclass?

March 11, 2012

Freedom vs. the Secular Seminary

The American university goes from strength to strength churning out research, from climate science to social science, that is pleasing to its government funders and, following the Death of God, it has turned itself into a seminary for secular religion.

Culture Wars: Conservative Freedom vs. Liberal Liberation

Liberals Forced to Bare Their Teeth

Liberals were a sorry spectacle this month, when they were forced to bare their teeth on the Planned Parenthood/Komen caper. A real hegemonic ruling class at the peak of its power doesn't need to make threats.

President Obama's Civilian Soldiers

I don't believe that the president is incompetent. And I don't believe he has reneged on his promise of bringing us together. To me, everything about President Obama makes sense.

Newt Gingrich Is Shameless

Is shamelessness the #1 skill you need to be a successful elected politician? For decades the Democrats have been the naughty party and Republicans the uptight party. What if the parties are changing their positions?

December 27, 2011

Obama's Sterilized Society

Chalk one up to President Obama. He's got a 2-month extension of payroll tax cuts in the teeth of opposition from those wascally Wepublicans, so that two months from now we can have the fight all over again.

Obama's Freeloader Economy

If you want to understand the deep political philosophy underneath the Obama administration's random-walk economic policy, it is this: freeloading.

Whither the White Working Class?

There's plenty of fight left in the white working class. In Ohio last week it decisively defeated the Republican plan to curb government union power. Pity it doesn't make any difference.

All Politics Is Resentment

In the aftermath of the Crash of 2008, ordinary Americans are frightened, and they are rediscovering their resentment. Class conflict-loving liberals had better think twice.

Are the Democrats waking up to the possibility that President Obama might be leading them off a cliff?

September 24, 2011

Is America Ready for a Christian President?

For liberals, it is easy to miss the importance of today's enthusiastic Christianity. You need a different kind of cultural radar to make sense of the rising moral movement that Palin, Bachmann, and Perry represent.

September 13, 2011

What Third Rail?

All politicians like to frighten the voters. Rick Perry is signaling that he's ready to play sound-bite volleyball on entitlements.

The hype over Hurricane Irene may have been overdone, but those few obedient souls who followed orders and sought shelter from the storm may have gotten a shock.

Riots and Civil Society

The conservative answer to the failure of the authoritarian welfare state with its programs, its agencies, and its social science experts is "civil society."

A Sluggish Recovery for President Obama

The mainstream media did a heroic job of making the mixed jobs numbers on Friday look good.

Do The Math, Mr. President

Obama's FY12 Budget 2.0 isn't really a budget because he hasn't actually got any numbers to back up his rhetoric. So let's do the numbers for him.

April 26, 2011

Who Will Mediscare the Dems?

The Democrats have always known how to scare the pants off granny at any suggestion of cuts to Medicare and Social Security. Now it is Obama who is throwing granny under the bus.

It's a pretty dismal picture. You could call it the crime of the century.

August 30, 2010

Nobody Here but Us 400,000 Chickens

After insisting for a generation that Martin Luther King is a national figure who needs a national holiday and a street in every city, our liberal friends now tell us that Martin Luther King is off-limits for conservatives.

It is true that liberalism is cruel, corrupt, wasteful, and unjust. But one should never forget its delusion.

Big Government's Katrina

Incredibly, in 2008, leading up to the worst economic banking crisis in history, the Fed was deflating the money supply

April 24, 2010

Taxes Aren't the Problem

Taxes and spending and debts and deficits are just symptoms of the problem. The real problem is the philosophy and culture of our governing class.

Obama's World without Giving

The great dividing line between liberals and conservatives is: How can we help the unfortunate?

April 7, 2010

Change the Conversation on Education

It's time for conservatives to go Alinsky on education. It's time for a fresh line of attack.

Whom Do You Trust?

Too many people give the benefit of the doubt to government but are outraged when corporations are less than perfect.

In Defeat, Defiance

ObamaCare is about raw political power. It is about threats, deals, arm-twisting, and paying for votes with taxpayers' money.

March 16, 2010

Why the Rules Matter

Back in Bush era it was Republicans that got fed up with the rules. Democrats in the US Senate were filibustering conservative judge nominees. Now the Democrats are in power and they are frustrated with the rules.

Liberals Say U.S. Is Ungovernable. Again.

The Content of Obama's Character

On the holiday celebrating Martin Luther King's birthday, we celebrate also the first year of America's first black president, Barack Obama.

January 12, 2010

Obama's Jobs Hole

Thank goodness the mainstream media has not made invidious comparisons to the Bush recession of 2001-02. Back then, only 2 million jobs were lost.

January 6, 2010

Repeal the Health Bill

Sooner or later, the American people must rise up and do more than complain about the latest wizard wheeze of the progressive educated class.

December 29, 2009

The Government Still Hasn't a Clue

After a decade of Progressive chickens coming home to roost.

December 23, 2009

A Christmas Insult? Or Just a Lump of Coal?

Some people think that Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) is insulting Christians with his plan to make the United States Senate work right up to Christmas Eve on his health reform bill.

December 15, 2009

Health Care: The Poisoned Chalice

Poor Harry Reid. He's the guy left holding the poisoned chalice of liberal health care fantasy. And he might lose his Senate seat over it.

December 8, 2009

Climategate's Bullyboy Scientists

The biggest thing to take a pounding in the last two weeks of Climategate is the fantasy PR image that scientists have maintained for so long.

December 1, 2009

Palin and the Future

No wonder the liberals hate her. The whole point of public education, of business regulation, or of rampant credentialism is to smother people like her before they have a chance to get anywhere.

November 25, 2009

ObamaCare's Hot Water Treatment

ObamaCare is a big step towards transforming health care into a rational national bureaucracy.

November 17, 2009

The Liberals' 'Other' Problem

As we know from our liberal friends' constant badgering, there is scarcely anything worse than dividing the world into "Us" and "Them."

November 10, 2009

The Purpose of Bureaucracy

Why does anyone think that a vast bureaucratic health system is going to deliver good health care? Bureaucracies are not instituted among men to provide service.

November 3, 2009

A Liberal Whiff of Panic

It is, I suppose, natural that when an elite is on its way out, it thinks that everyone agrees that "the problems we are facing cannot be solved."

October 29, 2009

Life in the United Scapegoats of America

Look, I'm all in favor of scapegoating. It's a necessary part of any social system. But suppose we sacrifice the wrong scapegoat?

Who will rid me of that troublesome Rush?

However you look at it, the way the powerful treat their opponents tells us a lot about their fitness for power.

Chicago and the natural ecology of human conflict

Despite his Nobel Prize, all is not peace-process and diplomacy back at the president's adopted home town of Chicago. Gangs there may have a lot to teach us about politics and diplomacy.

Woman-led Conservatism

The woman-led conservative future is not just about conservative books written by women. It is about political activism led by women.

The Perils of a 'Policy' President

The last three Democratic presidents are similar. They are policy presidents: they all believe in the rational, systemic approach to governance.

Irving Kristol and Conservatism's Future

Kristol did as much as anyone to make Ronald Reagan happen. Today, in another century, we live at another inflection point.

Obama's Wasted Year

It's about a year since Barack Obama has been at the center of US national politics, but it's probably not too early to say that his first year was wasted.

The Kennedy Test

You can say say this about the Kennedys: they always seemed to know what Democrats wanted.

September 1, 2009

No Dead Parrots Here

August 21, 2009

Obama and the Upchuck Factor

The Upchuck Factor is, quite simply, the length of time it takes the US voter to decide that s/he's "had enough" of the Democrats. And it looks like this year it is hitting a new record.

August 15, 2009

Healthcare and the Resourceful Poor

The real problem holding back the poor in the world today is not discrimination and racism; it is the tax bite and the regulatory bite and the credentials bite of the liberal welfare/regulatory state.

August 4, 2009

The Myth of the Expert

It's time that conservatives explode the Myth of the Expert and the disinterested scientist, because scientists are part of the problem in climate science.

Fixing Government's Health Care Mess With Our Money

July 23, 2009

Who's Out of Touch?

The awful truth about liberalism is its central delusion, the notion that life can be neatly organized into rational bureaucratic programs.

Private Schools for the Poor

When President Obama visited Ghana last week, he went to teach. But what if Africa has something to teach the president about education?

July 7, 2009

Liberals: Learning Nothing and Forgetting Nothing

Democrats are honest enough to be ashamed of what they are doing. Why else would they pass their trillion dollar stimulus bill without serious hearings or even a copy of the bill available to read.

July 4, 2009

US Patriotism vs. Liberal Solidarity

Just as we conservatives get ready to celebrate our patriotism on the Fourth of July, a liberal from a prominent family has been accused of spying for Cuba. It's not as if this is the first time.

Brits Melt Down over Naughty MPs

Brits of every age and class are having a collective meltdown over the shocking publication of the expenses claimed by their Members of Parliament.

Witness to Liberals as They Really Are

People are wondering what to do about the Sotomayor nomination. Should conservatives robustly oppose this Affirmative Action baby to the utmost?

June 11, 2009

The Liberal Housing Crash

The mainstream media has shown a vivid disinterest in getting to the bottom of the housing crash. Nevermind, Dr. Thomas Sowell explains it very well.

June 2, 2009

Don't Cry for Milton

Lefty economists like Joseph Stiglitz and James Galbraith and pop authors like Naomi Klein are conducting a triumphal march over the intellectual grave of Friedman. Not so fast. Reality bats last.

When the Sixties came along and the newly educated baby boomers turned authenticity into a mass phenomenon, we turned a corner.

Listen Up You Party Animals

The Tea Party movement may last a day or it may change America. But let us start out right.

March 24, 2009

The Instinct of the Clueless

President Obama has got it all wrong. His plan to fix the banks and tighten up on financial regulation misses the point.

March 19, 2009

Take Me To Your Leader

President Obama and his enforcers are right. Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the Republican Party. And now that Bill Buckley's gone, he's the leader of the conservative movement too.

March 12, 2009

Obama and the Liberal Freeloader Culture

The great problem of human society is the problem of the freeloader. How do you get people to pull their weight instead of take advantage?

March 7, 2009

Who is the Smartest of Them All?

Every morning the liberal policy wonk gets up and looks at The New York Times online. Mirror, Mirror on the wall; Who is the smartest of them all?

February 28, 2009

The Difference Between Change and Reform

Did you notice that when Gov. Sarah Palin was campaigning for vice-president she talked about "reform?" Candidate Obama campaigned on a different theme, "Change We Can Believe In."

February 22, 2009

Pity a Poor Banker

Let's get some clarity here. Banking is a government program, the means by which the government control the credit system. Bankers are the government's toadies.

February 12, 2009

The Emerging Liberal Oligarchy

Liberal elites now constitute an American aristocracy well on its way to becoming merely America's ruling oligarchy.

February 5, 2009

Obama's First Fumble

You'd think the Democrats would do a better job of camouflaging their real agends, given the effort they have put, starting with the 2006 mid-term elections, into wooing the middle class.

January 28, 2009

Women Want Safety

The biggest problem we remaining conservatives have to consider is the Woman Problem.

A Conservative Vision Statement

If the conservative movement tried to draw-up a "vision statement," what would it look like?

December 8, 2008

India, China, and the Disciplinary Society

The world is entering a serious recession. Most likely in the developed world the hardships will be anesthetized by unemployment and welfare benefits. But not in India and China.

November 25, 2008

The Sweating of Business

The point of the old sweatshops was to milk the workers of their just wages, we are told. The point of the sweating of business is to milk commerce of much of its economic added value.

Warmist 'hockey stick' smashed up

The "hockey stick" is a chart developed ten years ago that showed that global temperatures were pretty constant until about 100 years ago when they began to shoot up. It took a body check over the weekend.

November 21, 2008

The Weight of Government

In the chaos of defeat Republicans and conservatives feel most ashamed about the profligate spending. How could GOP president and V+Congress so increased the weight of government?

November 5, 2008

Hope and Change in the Real World

I'm not expecting Sen. Obama to deliver on hope and change, let alone on "transforming the world."

October 12, 2008

It's Common Sense: The Experts are to Blame

It's pretty obvious by now, at least to conservatives, that the current financial maelstrom is a product of liberal government programs.

October 2, 2008

Fannie/Freddie and the Stealth Welfare State

Secret defense programs have their place, but surely it is wrong to create secret social programs. The meltdown of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac demonstrates why.

September 23, 2008

Is This The Turn?

A century ago in in the Panic of 1907, the US experienced a similar crisis of confidence in its financial institutions.

September 9, 2008

The Mom and the One

We know now that the Palin phenomenon is for real. We can tell because our lefty friends have come up with a new pejorative: "Caribou Barbie."

September 3, 2008

The Day America Stopped Poncing Around

After a week of watching the Democrats ponce around in the Denver Temple of O, Republicans couldn't believe it when John McCain-who's done his share of poncing around over the years-delivered up Governor Sarah Palin.

Obama Lacks an Economic Narrative

What will "Obamanomics" look like? How would he know?

August 21, 2008

Another Cohort of Kids Failed by Government Schools

Public schooling in too much of America has run down to mediocrity and worse. It's almost inevitable, and worse in some places than others.

August 12, 2008

Another Bipartisan Betrayal

It makes complete sense that a gang of five Republican United States Senators would form a cabal with five Democratic senators to betray the Republican base on energy.

August 9, 2008

The Politics of the Social Safety Net

There is an unspoken assumption that "safety net" and "government program" are just about one and the same thing.

July 30, 2008

'Obama Doesn't Really Think This Way'

This last week conservatives spent a lot of time in the vomitorium. Everything that Candidate Barack Obama has done has seemed like an invitation to upchuck.

July 18, 2008

Beyond The Blame Game

In politics the game always goes to the politician who can stick the blame on the other guy. Sometimes, like New York Senator Charles Schumer, you can even nudge a bank into receivership.

New Hope for Global Warming Deniers

Why would anyone be a global warming denier? James Hansen of NASA wants oil company CEOs tried for "high crimes against humanity."

The Coming Hard Choices

Nobody likes to make hard choices. But we have some big ones ahead.

June 30, 2008

Those Mean-Spirited Liberals

Every now and again our learned scholars in the liberal university come up with a study, financed by taxpayers' money, that concludes what every liberal already knows. Conservatives are rigid and not very intelligent.

June 19, 2008

War and Its Moral Equivalent

There is a big difference between the issue of the Guantanamo detainees and the problem of energy prices and climate change. It is the difference between war and the moral equivalent of war.

June 16, 2008

The Big O

Like Peggy Lee in "Is That All There Is," conservatives keep wondering if they are missing something about the Democratic presumptive presidential nominee, Sen. Barack Obama.

Are Conservatives Dead or Resting?

America is moving on into a new political era.

May 26, 2008

Remember the Fallen

Unlike our British cousins we Americans honor the veterans of our armed forces twice a year. On Veterans Day we honor the service of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coast guard. But on Memorial Day we honor the Fallen.

US Can't Pass English 101

Why is it that after a century and a half of "free" public education so many students present themselves at college unable to write a coherent sentence?

At the Turn of The Cycle

In climate, as in politics, ther are natural cycles. We may be seeing some new ones starting these days in both spheres.

April 29, 2008

America, You Have Been Had

Liberals are prepared for the inevitable "swift-boating" of Barack Obama. Look behind you, liberals. It already happened and it was an own-goal scored by liberals.

April 23, 2008

The Pope's Challenge to Conservatives

The mainstream media seem to think that the pope's visit to the United States was all about the delicious priestly sex-abuse scandal and liberal agenda issues like abortion and women priests.

April 15, 2008

A Century of Taxes

Liberals claimn to be concerned about privacy when it comes to national security measures. What privacy? I just sent in my Federal Income Tax return for 2007 and I reckon that the government already knows everything about me.

Looking 'Round the Corner

What do you think? Is the mortgage meltdown over?

April 1, 2008

Doing Something About the Financial Mess

The Bush administration launched Part Three of the Bush administration's plan to Do Something. Part One is to have the Federal Reserve System print lots of lovely money.

March 25, 2008

Anger, Forgiveness, and Obama

On Tuesday, March 18, 2008, speaking to the nation during Holy Week, Barack Obama had the opportunity of a generation, the chance to make himself immortal. Instead he equivocated over the racist hate speech of Rev. Wright, and threw his white grandmother under the bus.

March 14, 2008

Everyone Makes Mistakes

When the Democratic candidates talk about Change, what they really mean is that they will redeem the mistakes of the Bush Era.

February 27, 2008

The Home Equity Partnership

The problem with the real-estate market is that it forces ordinary people to use far too much leverage. For many Americans the only way that they can afford a home is by accepting a very risky proposition, borrowing 80 percent or more of the purchase price of their home.

February 20, 2008

Reviewing Obama's Blueprint for Change

You can get a flavor of Senator Obama's conventional, liberal program on his website. That's where he has published his platform, a set of detailed policy prescriptions called The Blueprint for Change.

February 12, 2008

A Budget Valentine

The Budget of the United States Government for Fiscal Year 2009 that President Bush sent to Congress last week is quite a piece of work. Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) does not think of it exactly as a Valentine.

January 29, 2008

The Liberals' Mommy Fascism

At the end of the Bush administration conservatives need to clear their heads and think about the future. It's time to do some serious political philosophy.

January 24, 2008

So's Your Old Man

Conservatives have long understood that socialism and fascism are two sides of the same coin. They are both reactionary movements attempting to roll back the modern era to a simpler, less corrupt age driven by something higher than money, money, money.

January 17, 2008

Does Big Government Help Women?

When the first woman to be a major party candidate for president wins her first presidential primary by playing the gender card it tells you something. The Romantics were right and the rationalists were wrong. Life really is all about feelings and not about reason.

Liberal Fascism Over the Rainbow

The Wages of Appeasement

The policy of appeasement, consistently applied by the educated middle class throughout the past century, has proved to be the royal road to political power and influence -- for the educated middle class.

Things You Are Not Allowed to Say

The good thing about living in the modern era is that we have freedom of speech and dissent is celebrated as the highest form of patriotism.

Liberals Aren't All Alike

Conservatives tend to talk about liberals as if they were all the same. This is wrong. Liberals are not all alike.

Let's Steal Some Ideas from the Left

I hold the following truth to be self evident. When solving some intractable political problem, chances are that someone has already solved it.

November 6, 2007

Sacrifice and S-CHIP

The Democrats want to bring children's health insurance up for another confrontation with the president. Some attention to fundamentals is in order.

October 31, 2007

The End of Socialized Medicine?

Michael Moore's SiCKO is opening in Britain this week, but the British are not amused. Anyone can extol the virtues of universal government-furnished health care, they say, when they have never had to use it.

October 24, 2007

Should Conservatives Show That 'We Care?'

Last week President Bush successfully stopped the expansion of S-CHIP into the liberal slacker classes. Meanwhile the Democrats showed once again that they "cared about the children."

October 16, 2007

Fear is the Missing Ingredient in Government Schools

Everyone is properly shocked and outraged at the latest school shooting rampage. But why be surprised?

October 10, 2007

Let's Talk

Long term victory for conservative ideas means changing the culture. The Democrats will get back into power sooner or later.

Clintons, Baby Bonds, and Dropouts

Never say that Hillary Clinton doesn't listen. Back in April 2001, just before the election, the British New Labour government under Tony Blair proposed a "baby bond" of up to $1,600

September 19, 2007

That Bush 'Strategery'

It's a long time since we all joked about President Bush's "strategery." Things have gotten a lot more serious since those days in the early 2000s.

The Rising Tide of Education Subsidy

A rising tide lifts all boats. That's what President Kennedy said in a happier time when he lowered tax rates. But what about the rising tide of education subsidies?

The Fairness Doctrine Engine Starter

Democrats propose to think about a proposal to study an investigation to reinstate the FCC Fairness Doctrine. But let us not lose our heads.

The important thing to know about left-wing agitator Michael Moore is that he just doesn't get it.

Victory in the Senate. Now Fix the Broken Society

It was comforting last week to cold-cock the comprehensive immigration bill. It was exhilarating to watch the young guns sticking it to the pompous old bulls in the very stockyard of bovine pomposity, the United States Senate

June 28, 2007

Conservative NextGen

Since conservatism seems to be in a rebuilding year, as they diplomatically call it in baseball, maybe it's time to fire the coach. Maybe it's even time to skip a generation and go with a bunch of untried rookies.

June 20, 2007

How to Accomplish Education Reform

Everyone is talking about education reform when they're not talking about immigration. Jonah Goldberg wonders why we bother to have public education, given how screwed up it is.

June 14, 2007

Should Have Known?

Let us be careful of the "should have known" approach to political analysis.

June 5, 2007

Who's Alone, Senator Clinton?

Conservatives have responded with outrage at Hillary Clinton's denunciation of American society (under Republicans) as one where you are "on-your-own" in a speech last week. And well they might, for she tells a narrative about an America they never heard of.

May 29, 2007

Immigration: Mend It Not Rend It

The immigration bill currently before the United States Senate is the usual farrago of band-aids and special interest goodies, trying to patch up the failure of 1986.

After Blair: Tories Mumble about Welfare State Reform

On the day after British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced his retirement, they retired the "new" in "New Labour." The British Labour Party removed the logo "New Labour, New Britain" from its web site and substituted just plain "Labour."

Scarred for Life

Alec Baldwin's 11-year-old daughter may be scarred for life by his much publicized telephone rage. But perhaps Baldwin is the one who will be scarred for life. After all who are more easily scarred: Pampered celebrities or pampered celebrity children?

April 26, 2007

Democrats and the Politics of Fear

Ever since the 1960s the Democrats have won about ninety percent of the black vote in presidential elections. How do you get 90 percent of anyone to vote for one side or the other?

April 24, 2007

The Adolescent Society

Some people think that we have extended adolescence way too far into adulthood. You can live in the adolescent twilight zone between childhood and adulthood until way into your twenties.

April 10, 2007

The Supreme Court Turns the Ratchet

All the liberal wing and the moderates on the Supreme Court have done, in regulating CO2 as a pollutant, is give the ratchet of compulsion one more turn.

Pity A Poor Democrat

Don't think it's easy being a Democratic officeholder.

The Sub-Prime Blame Game

The next Big Thing is the meltdown in the sub-prime mortgage market. Don't worry: it's going to be Bush's fault.

March 7, 2007

Democrats Say We're too Patriotic!

Among the numerous issues on which Democrats are hypersensitive to criticism -- or as you and I might say, critique -- is patriotism. Do not dare question a Democrat's patriotism

The Fight Against Sprawl

Everyone "knows" our American cities are blighted by "sprawl." That's the conventional wisdom in liberal-land.

Manufacturing Failure

It was twenty years ago that we learned of "A Nation at Risk." The problems in our education system were imperiling our national future, wrote the National Commission on Excellence in Education.

Renewing the Conservative Narrative

What a difference there is between a Republican defeat and a Democratic defeat.

February 1, 2007

Public Education and the Liberal Way of Conflict

Our public schools, liberals teach us, are a foundation of democracy. Without a socialization in which every child partakes of the democratic culture of the public schools we would divide into warring classes and subcultures. That is the liberal line. But some have dared to question it.

The Heedless People Who Didn't Care About Michael Oher

Heedlessness has a history in the United States, one that has seen it migrate across social lines. Back in the 1920s rich writers like F. Scott Fitzgerald used to write novels about the heedless rich.

What Did Senator-elect Jim Webb Mean?

What exactly did United States Senator-elect Jim Webb mean when he wrote in The Wall Street Journal that "the most important--and unfortunately the least debated--issue in politics today is our society's steady drift toward a class-based system, the likes of which we have not seen since the 19th century."

November 28, 2006

It's Not the Spending, Stupid

According to the exit polls at the November election the American people think that the Democrats are more likely than Republicans to limit government spending. Can this really be true? In reality, we should be encouraged. The opinion polls are telling us that Democrats, at least when they are talking to the voters rather than among themselves, are talking spending restraint
