The four-hour show last night at the Tampa Bay Times Forum was supposed to introduce Mitt to America. It probably succeeded. More

Campaigning last week, President Obama raised the question of where one should turn for help in pursuing one's happiness. The answer: government, "applause"; family, "booo." More

History will note that the greatest triumph of Barack Obama will always be that he once convinced a majority of people that he was real. More

All polls, not just left-leaning polls, may be being strongly misled by their data, and Romney/Ryan may actually have a huge lead not seen in polls. A phenomenon first recognized in Britain, "the shy Tory," explains why. More

I think it's unfortunate, but on Election Day 2008, America proved just how racist it really was. More

The upcoming election battles may be unique in offering for the first time a debate about global warming. Paul Ryan is an assertive skeptic. Here are the questions to ask. More

Last night's Republican Convention brought out some ghosts from the 1984 Democratic Convention. More

How can a president presiding over the worst unemployment situation since the Great Depression have no jobs plan for his next term? And why is no one talking about this glaring hole in his campaign? More

Leftism is out of ideas. It is sterile, vapid, and boring. How can we lose? More

Every day we read about the specter of Ayn Rand looming over America in the person of Paul Ryan. Let take this opportunity to explore, side-by-side, the ideas that formed the character of Barack Obama and that of Paul Ryan. More

While President Clinton had one kind of problem with women, President Obama has another -- a problem the Democrats are trying to hide by going on offense and creating a faux "War on Women." More

Obama's charge of extremism is a classic example of the sort of rhetorical manipulation that Orwell called the Big Lie. Obama has identified his own greatest weakness and is attempting to turn it against his opponent. More

ABC and NBC feature documentaries on the Mormon faith emphasizing the secrecy of temple rituals, playing into the Obama criticism that Romney is some dark figure, trying to hide his past. More

Across the board, liberals have imposed irrational, made-up values for normal, healthy, natural values. I don't care what they do in the hay. The trouble is when their personal instability and hunger for novelty are imposed on the rest of us as the sole standard of conduct. More

Why is the U.N. giving its blessing to the Iranian regime? More

When Mitt Romney said last week, "No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate," was he baiting a trap for the liberal MSM debate questioners? More

The middle class cannot survive another four years paying 43 percent of their diminishing income for food and gas. More

Our military planners are openly discussing how to kill "Tea Party extremists" who have taken over a small town in the USA. Is this "operational lay-down" merely a "cartoonish and needlessly provocative scenario"? More

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. More

There is something primal in Ryan's appeal, even more than his well-honed math skills and his respect for the taxpayers who provide his paycheck and the God who grants natural rights. He is so normal. More

The U.S. government has promised its citizens almost four times the entire net worth of the nation. If the government confiscated everyone's net worth, people would be left penniless, and the government would still be unable to fund these promises. More

On Biden's racist outrage and the deafening silence of the ultra-race-sensitive NAACP, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Congressional Black Caucus. More

Leftism is not, and never has been, about "sharing," or "compassion," or any of the other moral euphemisms progressives use to hoodwink the intellectually and morally lazy. It always has been about that gun pointed at the prosperous -- and, ultimately, at everyone. More

The Democrats can lie, dissemble and rant, but they can't change a basic truth. They can either defend ObamaCare, which was designed to destroy Medicare, or they can disavow ObamaCare.They can't do both. More

Democrats' scorched-earth, take-no-prisoners campaign is not a sign that they're desperate; it's who they are. They're the most subversive, dirtiest enemy America has. More

Liberals dislike him for the best reason -- namely, because they fear him. But the very fact that the GOP establishment approves of someone is now regarded by some conservatives as prima facie grounds for suspicion. More

Romney might have tried to find a safe harbor. But he didn't. He brought the fighting Wisconsin congressman onto the platform with him. And let Paul Ryan come out swinging. The only safe course is to head straight into the storm. More

What does Washington do when one of its programs fails? Answer: enlarge it! More

"Obama's most horrifying nightmare" brought to life More

A review of The Last Israelis by Noah Beck. More

The perfect alternative to Obama for desperate, young, unemployed voters. Chip away at the demographic to raise the kind of doubts that lead a millennial or Gen Y member who would never vote for a Republican to simply stay home. More

How sad! More

The marked proliferation of mosques in the U.S. since 9/11 should raise a red flag for Americans. More

Turn the tables on the Obama campaign and seize the tax fairness momentum. More

Obama is, at least, not treating all voters as fools; he is treating only some voters as fools. More

The American left reserves its ugliest bigotry for Christians. When liberals speak or write about practicing Christians, especially evangelical Christians and, in this presidential election year, Mormons, no slander is unacceptable. More

Only a very cynical politician could repeatedly promise to slash the federal deficit while opposing all genuine attempts to do so. When simple words lose their meanings, as they have for Obama, nothing remains to anchor policy to reality. More

If Hollywood put out a casting call for a leading man to play the president of the United States, Mitt Romney would fit the bill to perfection. More

The Muslim Brotherhood is dedicated to annihilating American values. Why are we so blithely inviting the fox into the chicken coop? More

Harry Reid wants to see more of Mitt Romney's past income tax filings. Debbie Wasserman Schultz wants to see 23 years of his taxes. This, from the die-hard supporters of a candidate who will not release his college transcripts or so much more. More

At what point does a disorder become a danger to the person suffering it, or worse, a danger to those around them? More

Clearly blatant contempt for the truth is one kind of dishonesty but more subtle forms of dishonesty are just as unethical. More

While that one line in Romney's speech was labeled a diplomatic blunder, a disastrous gaffe, and even "deeply offensive" by the mainstream media, Hillary Clinton's far more blistering rhetoric was a non-story that barely turns up at all in an internet search. More

Watch out, Mr. and Mrs. America: Spanish celebrity chef Jose Andres and the New York Times are worried about what you have been eating, and they intend to make you change your ignorant ways. More

When the public is angry and organized against the ruling classes and the media ignores the phenomenon, the rebellion does not die. More

A fascinating, disturbing, and often humorous ride through the corruption, criminal activity, ineffectual bureaucracy, and profound uselessness of an institution that was initially created to fight the bad guys and address the problems related to war and peace More

It isn't enough to know that capitalism is moral and socialism is not. We must also know how to prove it to the rest of the world. If we don't do it soon, nothing else will matter More

So what happened at Glenn Beck's "Restoring Love" rally in Dallas last week? More

The ghost of William Faulkner has appeared in the oddest of places ever since Barack Obama entered the public consciousness. The president's speech writers and others have purposely summoned Faulkner to aid them in developing Obama as a transcendent racial figure. The 2008... More

With one voice, the Mainstream Media proclaim Mitt Romney's overseas tour a disaster, hoping to damage his standing. But does it matter anymore? More

Can conservatives be revolutionaries? Given the level of crisis into which civilization has fallen, is "conservatism" up to the task of radical change? More

Our economic troubles, and the ones in Europe, are not some Act of God that nobody could have prevented. Years and years of economic misrule and exploitation by leftists are taking their toll. More
