Posted on by David Limbaugh

Mitt Romney’s presidential run could turn out to be a test case to resolve the long-running debate inside the Republican Party as to whether the GOP presidential nominee should run as a conservative or more of a centrist.

Man Bites Dog…Likes the Taste

Posted on by Derek Hunter

The theater of the absurd that is our presidential election keeps chugging along with all the vigor our economy doesn’t. One can’t blame Democrats for attempting distraction upon distraction, given the alternative of talking about President Obama’s record. After all, if it is indeed about the economy, stupid, the only votes there for Democrats are […]

 

Liberal Nostalgiacs Don’t Understand Jobs of the Future

Posted on by Michael Barone

I don’t know how many times I’ve seen liberal commentators look back with nostalgia to the days when a young man fresh out of high school or military service could get a well-paying job on an assembly line at a unionized auto factory that could carry him through to a comfortable retirement.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The extremists of the left (you know, Democrats) have been trying to make a big deal out of the time that Mitt Romney put his dog on top of his car in the dim, dark past. They say this proves that Romney is mean, evil, rotten, a dog-hating scumbag. But in his own memoir President […]

20) Celebrity Web Sites:: I’m so tired of celebrity websites. In fact, I’ve yet to ever see a really good one.

Sorry, Stoners, Looks Like Obama’s Not On Your Side For Marijuana Legalization

Posted on by William Teach

Two points to start out: first, I could personally care less about legalization of marijuana for medical use or complete legalization (with certain regulations such as age controls), as I do not use it. But, from my classical liberalism point of view, smoking it doesn’t hurt other people, and, if it doesn’t hurt other people, […]

 

“Which is the Best Language to Learn?”

But:  the mammoth feat […]
