If your goal is "redistributive change" a shrinking pie makes no difference. More

If we move beyond the retort of being 8 years old at the time, and consider what we already know, there is plenty of disturbing evidence from Obama's own past about the Ayers relationship. More

Many who may have previously felt inclined toward politically correct acceptance are now moving in the direction of downright indignation. More

Obama has spoken of how legal "justifications" could be found allowing the courts to order redistributive policies. That rveals a frightening attitude toward constitutional jurisprudence. More

The Obama campaign's suppression of dissent on the road to the White House More

It's hard to say what Marine Corps Captain John Murtha thought of the people of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, when he took command of the 34th Special Infantry Company Reserves back in 1959. More

Now tell me, if George W. Bush is the problem, why has Europe's economy declined worse than the US? More

The 2001 audio tape of Barack Obama describing the Constitution as a document of "negative liberties" reveals an utterly Orwellian Obama. How can liberty be anything other than negative? More

If you believe in individual rights and the notion that our Constitution is a document granting enumerated but limited powers to the federal government, then you have reason to be troubled by the recent dismissal in Berg v. Obama et al. More

Joe Biden's warning that America's enemies will test the mettle of Barack Obama is a reminder that this election should be about which presidential candidate is best equipped to handle an international crisis. More

When PBS asked me to do an interview for a television newsweekly because I am a Jew supporting McCain, I didn't hesitate to say yes. More

Never mind the "Bradley Effect." Democrats should worry about the "Brady Effect." More

McCain can still win. But it will not be easy, and Obama remains a heavy favorite. State-by-state, here's how he could do it. More

The conventional wisdom is that John McCain's only hope for this election is for the economy and markets to "settle down" so that he can focus on foreign policy. Wrong. More

McCain and his supporters have only a single battle cry for the last week, but it could be powerful: America, do you want to give unchecked, unlimited, near total power to the left wing of the Democratic Party? More

John McCain must make clear why a President Obama might prove uniquely capable of realizing his Leftist vision. More

As America witnesses the closing of the racial divide, some people refuse to believe that the attitudes that gave us the Ku Klux Klan and Jim Crow are taking their final breath. More

Over the past fifty years, something on the order of a half-million Americans have been killed by liberal policies. More

The Obama narrative of the crisis puts free-market capitalism at the root, denying the real history of government interference in the mortgage market. More

A plot line like that of Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen's "An Enemy of the People" runs through assigning responsibility for the mortgage meltdown on John McCain and the GOP. More

The Supreme Court of Connecticut recently embraced legal reasoning that opens a Pandora's Box. More

Obama's economic plan is a recipe for long-lasting disaster. Keep in mind that wrecking anything, as opposed to building things, requires very little time and effort. More

If we look closely at some of the social initiatives and assorted orbiting causes that are championed by the so called "green movement", one may discern some eerie similarities with some less well organized religions. More

Before he was in the Weather Underground, Bill Ayers was already a revolutionary, and was rather forcoming about his goals. More

Internationalism and Eurosocialism have been tried before, with horrible cosequences. More

Obama and his supporters have decried McCain's "negativity" and "hateful rhetoric". We are told that we should stick to the issues and not attack a candidate's personality or competence. These complaints are wrong More

The financial turmoil has taken its toll on the purveyors of goods to the wealthy left. More

Sarah Palin is the latest in a long line politicians who have been discounted by those comfortably ensconced in positions of power and privilege. More

Why didn't the US Supreme Court uphold the order directing the Ohio Secretary of State to check for voter fraud? Conservative Justices are holding fast to the application of the doctrine of separation of powers. More

We need to choose a scenario that legitimately has the best hope of our not only surviving, but thriving, one where the word "liberty" is not just a nostalgic phrase More

I have learned how Barack Obama plans to cut taxes for 95% of the public, even though only 60% of people pay income taxes. The explanation came from a young man calling from an Obama phone bank More

Many Americans view Obama as the peace president who will end the war in Iraq. On the contrary, he will be Commander in Chief for a global crusade, a global war to end all wars. More

Peggy Noonan had to cough up her Sarah Palin fur ball sometime, I suppose. We heard it coming. More

McCain can still pull out a victory if he starts talking about something he has ignored thus far: the social issues. More

Before we make our choice at the polls we must ask ourselves what we want for our children and grandchildren. More

Joe Wurzelbacher of Ohio just may have awakened a swing bloc of voters that could make the difference in this election: "the rich" and those who aspire to be. More

Measured at approximately 25% of the American electorate, Catholic voters often determine electoral outcomes in a number of important battleground states. More

Barack Obama is taking America down a path modeled by Jimmy Carter, and threatens to be as bad a president as his trailblazer. A unlikely guide unwittingly will help make the case. More

In San Francisco you can buy votive candles that featured Obama dressed in Monks robs with a hallo, giving a benediction while holding a cross. It would be funny if it weren't for the actual Obama worship that hammers our senses. More

Well Joe, now the entire world not only knows you are an unlicensed plumber. Is Brian Williams a licensed broadcaster? Of course not. His employer, NBC, is. Just like Joe. More

There are several culprits in the recent market crash, but one key source of the problem has hitherto escaped attention: an economic index that can be easily manipulated by hedge funds and whose gyrations have shaken the foundation of Wall Street. More

Two lies in particular have been especially consequential in boosting Barack Obama so far toward the presidency. More

Is al Qaeda trying to influence the American presidential election? More

One of the more awkward realities of this election is Governor Sarah Palin. More

The New York Times and their comrades-in-harm, CBS, last week declared Barack Obama the winner of the 2008 presidential election. Well, okay, not officially. More

In all likelihood Barack Obama first learned of Ayers and Dohrn in his college years. His claim to not know their terrorist background is ludicrous. More

Barack Obama is well on his way to buying the Presidency. More

Here we are two weeks out from what may very well be an actual, stolen presidential election. More

Apparently, the skill most highly prized in a President is articulateness in extemporaneous public speaking. More

I have not seen a simple list of reasons to vote for or against either Presidential candidate. To fill this need, I offer my two top ten lists below. More

The skin color of their current candidate has created an irrational PC ecstasy amongst the fourth estate, one that finds them simultaneously agitating and exploiting racial divides to an extreme that borders slimy. More

The Obama/Biden ticket's entire campaign theme is based on "the last eight years." Maybe we should really look at "the last two years," or the time period when both the House and the Senate were run by Democrats. More

I am deeply indebted to Barack Obama for reminding me that hope is often used as bait in scams. More

I would seem to fit the profile of a Barack Obama supporter. For over 20 years I represented investors against brokerage firms. Now I teach at an Ivy League law school. And I went to Harvard Law School. Yet I wholeheartedly support John McCain. More

Maybe this election has less to do with Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? and more to do with Leave it to Beaver More

In a 1970 interview, Bill Ayers summed up the Weatherman philosophy as: "Kill all the rich people! Break up their cars and apartments! Bring the revolution home! Kill your parents! That's where it's really at!" More

More in Sorrow than in Anger: An open letter from The Viscount Monckton of Brenchley to Senator John McCain about Climate Science and Policy. More

A unanimously negative media response to the political slapstick movie American Carol reinforces my theory that humor -- and satire in particular -- is an accurate litmus test of one's political and ideological convictions. More

16 plus years ago I was where you are now. And I must tell you if Obama wins, I am pulling the plug in a few months. I am out. I have had it. I am preparing to destroy almost 100 jobs More

What's so odd about Barack Obama is his extreme sense of self-confidence, matched with his extreme lack of experience. It seems as if Obama is utterly convinced he can do no wrong, and that Destiny is on his side. More

Senator Obama could well become our first planetary president. More

I sense a very angry electorate, but not a particularly nihilistic one. They know they have been kept in the dark and been fed a diet of compost about the anointed one. More

The last debate is over, and the race is in its final stretch. And in all probability McCain's debate performance changed little. At least not for the better. More

A broad consensus is forming -- encompassing the likes of Bill O'Reilly and Whoopi Goldberg -- that the invasion of Iraq was a mistake regardless of the outcome. More

The triumph of Stephen Harper and his Conservative Party in Canada's general election offers some hope for conservatives in the United States. More

Please let me assure you, I do not say that Mr. Obama is a bad person. I say he's not the right person for America. He would lead this country to an abyss. More

In Obama's book, Dreams from My Father, there is a strange revelation, perhaps intended as a signal More

Bill Ayers said in 1995 that he was just a "small 'c' communist." He said it with a little laugh. And most of us aren't even shocked. More

Christopher Buckley, in and of himself, is not important. But the symbolism of his act is. More

Absent the ability to read minds and hearts, I can't really tell you if Barack Obama is uniquely dishonest. What is for certain, though, is that his campaign is uniquely deceitful. More

During the eighty-five years of Yankee Stadium's existence, it has become the foremost sports venue in the country, and possibly, the world. More

Three is a meaningful and potent number, for both good and evil. In this case, three is all that is required to establish a pattern of malignant activity. More

In a sane world every responsible nation and political party would pull together to keep the nuclear genie bottled up tight. By that standard we are not living in a sane world. More

The only way to explain the disinterest in Obama's past and its relationship to his present is that Americans no longer consider the label "socialist" to be a pejorative. More

With the media having all but declaring Barack Obama the winner in the presidential election, it could be time to consider what an Obama administration might look like. More

A majority of Americans consider themselves conservative. If only John McCain knew.... More

What is the right word for Obama. He once told us "words matter." More

It was in October 2005 that the Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, first said that the "Zionist regime" must "be wiped off the face of the Earth." And it was in April 2006 that he called Israel a "fake regime" that "cannot logically continue to live." More

November 4th will be historic not only because the U.S. will elect its first black president or its first female vice president, but also because Pope Benedict XVI will convene the most important interfaith conference in recent history. More

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

What happened to our jaded media who looked for the fire when they even had a glimpse of smoke? More

There's a lot of frustration among conservatives over how Barack Obama's radical past seems to be making no impact whatsoever among the American public. There is specific reason why. More

Did you realize that we conservatives got all we wanted and that's what screwed up just about everything, from hurricanes and Iraq to the global financial meltdown? That's a rapidly-developing propaganda theme being disseminated in the Big Media. More

What is it about Democratic presidential candidates and terrorists? More

The last time American voters turned away from the GOP in a crisis was Watergate. The resulting presidency of Jimmy Carter was the sort of disaster we cannot afford again. More

I cannot think of an issue more pressing than the political agenda and theoretical basis of our next President and Commander-in-Chief. Can you? More

Prior to 1990, when Barack Obama contracted to write Dreams From My Father, he had written very close to nothing. Then, five years later, this untested 33 year-old produced what Time Magazine has called -- with a straight face -- "the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician." More

It's all about the Electoral College and a referendum on Obama. More

Two new studies have been released this month on the relationship between illegal immigrants -- more aptly called border violators -- and crime in the U.S. More

Candidate Barack Obama is not an executive, by profession, but a facilitator. And therefore, he is not fit to be Commander-in-Chief. More

America, we just got suckered. We fell for the biggest money grab in modern politics, possibly in the history of the nation. More

I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt. I'm not so sure about Obama. When I compare him to other prominent Democrats, I come away with a very different appraisal. More

The Democrats, having in true Yahoo fashion thrown every manner of filth at McCain and Palin, are now shocked to see some mud coming in their direction. More

Sometimes, if I'm puzzled by someone's actions, I like to ask myself "if he's really smarter than I am, why would he be doing what he's doing?" More

"From tiny ACORNs mighty oaks do grow" is the old slogan, from which the revolutionary organization ACORN derives its name More

Well, they passed it. Wall Street bailout, Main Street Rescue, or whatever you want to call it, is now law. Now we will roll the dice 700 times, a billion on the table each time. More

Even with their stumbles over the past two weeks, John McCain and Sarah Palin still have time to win the election and save our country. More

This bailout legislation is the first step in an effort to socialize debt -- while it attempts to keep profits private. Markets work because they reward good investments and punish bad ones. More

A careful reading of the questions Gwen Ifill asked during the VP debate reveals several that displayed her bias. More

It's called schadenfreude -- getting satisfaction out of someone else's troubles. It's not something to be proud of, but I must admit to having enjoyed every second of O. J. Simpson's agony as the court clerk read off a succession of guilty verdicts More

My cohort, the sainted Boomer generation, now rules this country and its institutions. Now these new Masters of the Universe have made a shambles of the US and world financial system. More

I have just about had it with the conservative punditry and their plaintive wailings about the unfairness of the self-proclaimed "mainstream media" More

Senator Obama's campaign made fun of John McCain for not using email (and by implication, for not knowing how to use a computer). After the most recent debate, I think Obama may not know how to use one, either. More

It's Frontier Woman vs. Metrosexual Chic! Hold your breath. Sarah Palin is a mythic figure out of the American imagination. That why she scares the Effetes and Corruptocrats. More

Who your heroes are tells a great deal about you and your society. Americans like their heroes flawed but not shattered. It's good for the hero to be reluctant. More

Photographer Jona Frank recently attempted to capture life at the Evangelical Christian Patrick Henry College (PHC), demonstrating how the Left in this country perceives both homeschoolers and Evangelical Christians. More

When she said people with Alzheimer's should be able to appoint someone to request euthanasia for them, Britain's leading medical ethicist, Baroness Mary Warnock, caused a firestorm of controversy. More

Sarah Palin has everything that counts. She has had my admiration since day one, and I've seen nothing of significance to change my mind. More

I think I have finally come to understand the appeal of Barack Obama to many of his devoted followers. It comes from the world of romance, not politics. More

A school of thought is emerging that Barack Obama has an advanced form of narcissistic personality disorder. More

I saw Bill Maher's Religulous with a fellow Christian who occasionally offers to get me into press screenings. My first instinct was to take a pass, I prefer my faith to be mocked and derided in the style of Monty Python. More

Call it what you will, but the $700,000,000,000 credit rescue Bill that passed the Senate last night is one strange piece of lawmaking. More

Why is it that liberal misrepresentations are never fully addressed before they become established as received wisdom? More

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. More

Russian armed forces performed poorly in Georgia, and Moscow sustained economic and political damage. It has set up puppet regimes in both breakaway regions, but the cost has been disproportionate/ More

The House's failure to pass the first bailout bill was historic in more ways than one. More

Mr. Obama would implement a foreign policy that is no longer based on America's concrete interests, but rather on some vague notion of what pleases the "world." More

There is a theme to the political campaign of Barack Obama. It can be summed up easily: I will do anything to win. More

There is but one issue in the 2008 election. The economy. Or more to the point, the economic meltdown. Whoever wins this debate will win the election. More

The Left is very worried we are about to put a brainless bimbo one heartbeat away from the White House. More

Caracas now ranks as the world's No. 1 murder capital, according to Foreign Policy magazine. It's an assessment that will surprise few credible Venezuela watchers. More
