In President Obama’s latest class-war, tax-the-rich gambit, he has stooped to a new low with misleading and out-of-context quotes from Ronald Reagan. Apparently, the president is now trying to use the Gipper for cover while he attacks Mitt Romney with the so-called Buffett Rule. (more)

President Barack Obama said the White House proposed “Buffet Rule” could be named the “Reagan Rule,” referring to former Republican President Ronald Reagan as a “wild-eyed, Socialist, tax hiking class warrior.” (more)

According to most talking heads and political pundits, the race for the GOP’s presidential nomination is all but over, as former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has pulled away from the rest of the field over the last couple of months. Party leaders are urging the remaining candidates to stop trying to win votes and delegates. The oft-repeated refrain is that we must “unite the party” around Romney and avoid a brokered convention at all costs. The GOP establishment appears deathly afraid of having a convention that is anything more than a parade of pre-choreographed speeches and parties. (more)

The late William F. Buckley Jr. naturally put it best when he said, “The wisest choice would be the one who could win. No sense running Mona Lisa in a beauty contest. I’d be for the most right, viable candidate who could win.” (more)

The debates of the four remaining Republican presidential candidates appear to be over, and it is no secret that Republican voters remain dissatisfied with the field. The analysts and TV talking heads keep dwelling on the same particular defects of each candidate, such as Romney’s inauthenticity, Newt’s Jekyll and Hyde character, Santorum’s fixation on social issues and Ron Paul’s dodgy foreign policy. But the entire field has shared one common defect from the start; none of them talk with any serious depth about what used to be close to the center of many presidential campaigns in times of tumult: how we should interpret the Constitution. (more)

When will conservatives learn that being right doesn’t matter? Having the correct answer to a philosophical problem is gratifying on a chalkboard, but it means little in political confrontations. The left learned this lesson a long time ago. The right needs to catch up. (more)

A poll released on Friday revealed that a majority of college professors do not care much for former President Ronald Reagan, who would be celebrating his 101st birthday on Monday. The study asked educators to grade their top ten presidents.

Today Ronald Reagan would be 101 years old; he was born in the same era as my father, and like my father, his intellect, values, and worldview were shaped by the defining events of the 20th century. Those were terrible, daunting times, as America lurched from crisis to crisis — World War I, the Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War, the Civil Rights movement, and the economic stagnation of the 1980s. America’s very identity seemed to be on trial, yet I question how much of this is understood by today’s young adults. (more)
