Steyn: The Oldest Hatred
Posted on January 10, 2009Once upon a time on the Continent, Jews were hated as rootless cosmopolitan figures who owed no national allegiance. So they became a conventional nation state, and now theyre hated for that. And, if Hamas get their way and destroy the Jewish state, the

Goldberg: Dems Melt in the Heat of Burris Fiasco
Posted on January 09, 2009Since Democrats cant be motivated by racism, any ploy like Blago's must be cynical. When the same gambit is used on Republicans, its called speaking truth to power.
Sowell: Manufacturing a Crime
Posted on January 09, 2009As someone who has any number of times had his memory corrected by consulting old records or old letters, I dont think a mans life should be ruined for that, when there was no crime to investigate in the first place.
Charen: What Makes for Success?
Posted on January 09, 2009What Gladwell shows is not that talent doesnt matter, but that great success is nearly always talent matched to good fortune.

Owens: Brute Force
Posted on January 09, 2009The U.S. military has had counterinsurgency advocates before -- like Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Victor Krulak.
Hanson: Obama: The Great American Hope?
Posted on January 09, 2009Apparently, a new wineskin is enough to make Bushs old wine more palatable.
Hess: Silver Cloud, Dark Lining
Posted on January 08, 2009A big federal bail-out of school-system budgets will put off the day of reckoning. Well miss a rare chance to make our schools leaner, more efficient, and more effective, and well saddle tomorrows administrators with the same headaches and baggage as t
Hanson: Try a Little Honesty in 2009
Posted on January 08, 2009If Barack Obama keeps in place much of George Bushs policies, then either Bush was right then or Obama will be wrong in 2009.
May: Hamass Other War
Posted on January 08, 2009If Hamass organization is crippled the present Gaza conflict -- and their best, brightest, and most brutal are killed -- Fatah will be the major beneficiary.
Sowell: An Emergency Review
Posted on January 08, 2009We are being lured into a one-way process -- much like entering a Venus fly trap -- by the oldest of all confidence rackets, the promise of something for nothing.
Kudlow: How Big-Government Is Obama?
Posted on January 08, 2009What we have now is an $800 billion stimulus package from Obama with $300 billion in so-called tax cuts. I would have designed the plan differently, but then again Team Obama won the election. I guess I could say it could have been worse.
Editors: Death on a Thursday Morning
Posted on January 08, 2009Without Richard John Neuhaus, the Christian conservatives in America would have been politically much weaker and intellectually far less formidable.
York: On Capitol Hill, Dems Dither, Squabble, Fall Apart...
Posted on January 07, 2009He looked sad and cold, wrapped his coat around himself at one point. It was evocative of the 1960s, just in color -- a black man being turned away.

Goldberg: Who Are the Real Nazis?
Posted on January 07, 2009Hamas has an avowedly Hitlerite agenda. The only way to make such an agenda defensible is to convince yourself and others that the Israelis deserve it.
Editors: Stimulating Opportunity
Posted on January 07, 2009Republicans should push for the package to include more tax relief than spending, and for the tax relief to be better-designed. If we must have an economic stimulus package, we might as well have one that stimulates the economy.
