Here are some opinion pieces of interest. Leave a trackback to one of your own:
Ken Blackwell: Is speech McCain’s problem with conservatives?   Â
It’s an odd situation for a leader of McCain’s stature. Especially when you factor in the enormous amount of time he spent campaigning for Republican candidates during the 2006 midterm elections. In fact, McCain backed my candidacy for Ohio governor during a hard fought primary.
Michael Fumento: Why I’m not embedded in Iraq
Most people would rather suffer a jaw?s worth of root canals than go to Iraq. Most reporters, too. But there are a tiny number who actually feel the need to do so ? even to the extent that they’re willing to pay all their own expenses in the hope, but nothing more ? of recovering part or all of those expenses through donations and selling articles about their experiences.

Matt Towery: As Trump Goes, So Goes The Nation
Last year about this time, I wrote a column about the impending disaster in America’s housing market, including condominiums.
Debra J. Saunders: Higher Grades, Lower Scores
After all those years of educators focusing on improving the basics in public schools, how is it possible that the National Assessment for Educational Progress just gave America’s high school seniors their lowest score for reading since 1992?
Larry Elder: Profiles in Everyday Courage
Every day in America, ordinary people show up and perform with a sense of duty, honor and responsibility.
Joel C. Rosenberg: Epicenter
But one thing is increasingly certain: the eyes of the nations are riveted upon Israel and the Middle East, the epicenter of the momentous events shaking our world and shaping our future. And now a new crisis is brewing.
Suzanne Fields: A Long Way Backwards
Issues of date rape, sexual harassment and campus rallies to “take back the night” have been replaced with a rush of salacious sensitivity, identifying something called “vaginal personalities” and erotic effervescence.
Donald Lambro: Romney, channeling Reagan, reveals economic agenda
After his well-received speech before the conservative political action conference here last week, former governor Mitt Romney met with two key leaders in the Reagan Revolution of the 1980s.
Cal Thomas: March Madness
It’s time for that annual ritual known as March Madness. No, this March Madness isn’t about college basketball. It’s about how much money Congress plans to attach to appropriations bills to curry favor back home with their pet projects.
Robert D. Novak: The Lost Scandal
George W. Bush lost control of this issue when he permitted a special prosecutor to make decisions that, unlike going after a drug dealer or mafia kingpin, turned out to be inherently political.
William Rusher: The scramble for the presidency
A friend of mine asked me the other day why, given all the headaches the job involves these days, anybody in his (or her) right mind would want the presidency. I confessed to being as mystified as he was. But the evidence is right before our eyes.
Emmett Tyrrell: What’s In A Lie?
I. Lewis Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff, has been found guilty of lying and faces many years in prison. Joseph C. Wilson, his tormentor, has been found guilty of lying, and out in Hollywood they are going to make a movie of his life. He is Hollywood’s idea of a hero.
Marvin Olasky: From George W. Bush to William Tecumseh Sherman
I thought the war that’s now almost four years old could be different. With “smart bombs” we would
Ann Coulter: Shooting elephants in a barrel
This makes it official: It’s illegal to be Republican.Since Teddy Kennedy walked away from a dead girl with only a wrist slap (which was knocked down to a mild talking-to, plus time served: zero), Democrats have apparently become a protected class in America, immune from criminal prosecution no matter what they do.
David Strom: The Left: Character Assassins
Just to be clear: Scooter Libby faces jail time for trying to cover up the fact that he did not commit a crime. In fact, at no time does the Special Prosecutor ever allege that the underlying crime he was investigating ever took place. It never happened.
Roger Schlesinger: Where do we go from here?
Wall Street is going in one direction and Main Street is barely going anywhere which really has a lot to do with China, the outsourcing of jobs and the changing nature of our way of life
Rich Galen: A cottage industry for Coulter
Regular readers may remember that I wrote, on January 17, 2007 prior to the beginning of the trial that President Bush should Pardon Scooter Libby.
Debra J. Saunders: Questionable Prosecution, Sure Verdict
Like former President Clinton, Libby apparently thought that he was so clever that he could perjure himself — by lying to FBI agents and a grand jury probing the leak of CIA agent Valerie Wilson’s identity. In their arrogance, both men were steamrolled by a truth any idiot in Washington can tell you. To wit: The cover-up is worse than the crime.
Brent Bozell III: Bias by Story Selection
Most liberal media outlets can’t be bothered to visit, let alone cover, the Conservative Political Action Conference every winter. But this year’s event drew a large amount of publicity. CPAC hasn’t been this notorious since reporter-fabricator Stephen Glass made up stories of wild sexual antics and drug use at CPAC hotel rooms and bathrooms 10 years ago for The New Republic.
