As we fight this battle for our soul, not just for health care reform, we must not lose sight of the hypocrisy of the “ruling class.” “We need to pass the bill so you can see what’s in it, “Nancy Pelosi said on Tuesday.

President Obama wants a health care bill now. And this time, he swears it will be corruption-free.
Yet it’s hard to imagine a more pro-corruption strategy than the president’s.

In 1968, weeks before his death, Martin Luther King Jr. said, “If a man doesn’t have a job or an income, he has neither life nor liberty nor the possibility for the pursuit of happiness. He merely exists.”
In this case, the ones merely existing are the most disadvantaged, in particular, black male teenagers who pay the price with their forcible exclusion from the work force.

Maybe if each party would be honest with the American people and put forth proposals like we suggest above, we might have a chance to have a full-blown national debate this year on how to best achieve those goals.

The real question is …. can members of Congress not only trust but also verify? Only time will tell.

This administration’s budget has cancelled the shuttle program—ending human space flight—while also killing the shuttle’s much vaunted replacement: the Constellation Program

In case anyone is wondering, the score is Team Ridiculous Parenting and Lawsuit-wary Companies: 1,000; Team Common Sense and the Rest of Us: Zero.

Coming together is still possible. A new cooperative team mantra might even be: “6+6=Bipartisanship.” What are the chances?

The unlikely attack dog may soon deliver the greatest gift to the White House front door. With reconciliation fast approaching, Biden will be placed in the unique position to overrule the Senate parliamentarian and thus usher measures into the health care bill that might never see the light of day otherwise.

Mark Levin’s speech at the Reagan Library on Friday, March 5, 2010, was exactly what I anticipated: intelligent and unapologetically conservative, with just the right amount of comedy. Simply put, he made Ronald Reagan proud.

Has Congress considered any measure as often over the last four decades as the “Armenian Genocide” resolution? Again and again the bill has returned to Capitol Hill, only to fail each time.

A small D.C. program increases reading scores for the poorest children in Washington, ensures safety and increases parental satisfaction and thus their involvement in their child’s education. Progress? It would be in any other nation, but to the leaders of the supposedly literate and advanced super power called the U.S., the program is merely a nuisance

Our nation is speeding toward a precipice of complete financial calamity Congress must adopt a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced federal budget. Our nation’s economic future may well depend on it. Today our national debt sits at more than $12 trillion

The more President Obama talks about health care, the more he reveals his true character and goals. This was evident earlier this week during his tirade at Arcadia University in Pennsylvania, where he used a captive audience of students to complain about how many of them are without health coverage.

Sarah Palin took a leave of absence from her Russia-watching post in Alaska to become a Fox News contributor. Who could have seen that coming? She represents diversity on Fox as that network’s only non-blonde correspondent

American students lag behind many of their peers in other countries. Perhaps one reason is that too many teachers get lesson plans from the New York Times.

President Obama would do well to heed the time-honored admonition of my dear mother—and indeed mothers everywhere—to keep one’s feet off the furniture

Barack Obama has enjoyed more than a year with an unstoppable left-wing supermajority, strong public support, and a fawning, liberally biased media. He was hailed across the globe as a breath of fresh air for both America and the nations of the world. With all of the praise, and all of his allies, Obama has accomplished absolutely nothing. Why does he call Bush?

Specter hinted that he has some “special insights” from having worked in both the Republican and Democratic caucuses. What could those insights be? Enough for a book to further reposition himself politically in the eye’s of Pennsylvania voters?

The GOP still has a long way to go to revive its brand among America’s youngest generation of voters. But this new data gives the Republican Party hope that its youth movement, once thought lost, can be found – and maybe as early as November.
