Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Today’s Opinion

By: Pam On: Feb/20/08 - 2 Comments

Some great columns to read:

  • Michelle Malkin: Michelle Obama’s America — and Mine
  • Like Michelle Obama, I am a “woman of color.” Like Michelle Obama, I am a working mother of two young children. Like Michelle Obama, I am a member of the 13th generation of Americans born since the founding of our great nation.

  • Jacob Sullum: The Blurry Edges of Obama’s Memory
  • A recent New York Times report suggests the leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination misled the public about his history of drug use — by making it seem more impressive than it really was.

  • Ben Shapiro: Barack Obama is a Fake
  • Sen. Barack Obama’s star appeal is causing physiological reactions in his supporters. Which is to say, they’re fainting.

  • Tony Blankley: St. Obama Learns the Washington Ways
  • There is a joke going around Washington to the effect that Hillary is the senator from New York who was born in Illinois, while Obama is the senator from Illinois who was born in a manger.

  • Lawrence Kudlow: Obama?s Big-Government Vision
  • Senator Barack Obama is very gloomy about America, and he?s aligning himself with the liberal wing of the Democratic party in hopes of coming to the nation?s rescue.

  • Walter E. Williams: Costs vs. Benefits
  • If we look to benefits only, we’ll do darn near anything because there’s always a benefit. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that there were 43,443 highway fatalities in 2005.

  • Maggie Gallagher: Children of Sperm Donors Have Rights, Too
  • In New Jersey, the state Senate has twice voted to give adopted children access to their original birth certificates, that is, to the names of their biological mothers.

  • Austin Bay: Fidel Castro’s Painfully Long Finale
  • Anti-Americanism energizes numerous dictatorships. Check the miserable roster. Iran’s noxious mullahs have invoked the anti-American liturgy since 1979.

  • Paul Greenberg: The Personal is the Political
  • Politics is a grand show, and this presidential campaign is shaping up as one of the grander. How the mighty have fallen, how those who were first have become last.

  • Bill Murchison: Checking Out Obama
  • The Obama Express hurtles through the night, flattening skeptics and, with especial relish, Clintonites. But the Express’s present fuel is going to run short once the campaign, not against Hillary, but against a generally united Republican Party, commences.

  • Mike S. Adams: I Don’t Think, Therefore I Am
  • I get a lot of hate mail, most of which is amusing. Seldom is it enlightening. An email I received from a fellow named Stewart provides a rare example of hate mail that is both amusing and enlightening.

  • Michael Medved: What’s Ailing Oscar?
  • Despite an altogether unprecedented level of public apathy, on this Sunday night the Hollywood establishment will come together to participate in the granddaddy of all awards shows.

  • John Stossel: Presidents Can’t Manage the Economy
  • The presidential candidates have been repeatedly asked how they would “manage the economy.” With the exception of Ron Paul, every candidate has accepted the premise that this is something the president of the United States should do.

  • David Limbaugh: Conservatives and First Principles
  • Bigger-government Republicans don’t seem fully to appreciate the extent to which the differences between conservative Republicans and liberals are about more than policy.

  • W. Thomas Smith, Jr: Turning a terrorist into a cult hero
  • For once, a major Western media outlet did the right thing by admitting its complicity in what is becoming a trend toward soft-soaping terrorists and their activities.

  • Paul Weyrich: The Clinton Candidacy Is Alive, Contrary Media Projections Notwithstanding
  • Media pundits now have begun to predict that Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) will be the Democratic Presidential nominee. Some even have pronounced that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) is finished.

  • Janice Shaw Crouse: Children Are Eating the Fat of Our Land
  • While children are consuming more ?empty? calories, they are getting less exercise. In many communities, children cannot walk or ride bicycles to schools.

  • Gregg Jackson: Why are Rush, Sean, Laura, and Ann Crying About McCain?
  • I for one am getting a little sick and tired of listening to the relentless screeds and caterwauling of these conservative elites who are in many regards totally disconnected from the conservative base.

  • David Strom: Why Are Americans Giving Up Their Freedom?
  • Are Americans tiring of individual liberty? It sure seems so. How else can you explain the proliferation of laws that regulate the most mundane aspects of our lives?

  • Johnnie B. Byrd: Iran, John McCain, and the ‘Great Satan’
  • Today, can Republicans continue to make the case that a peaceful world, in any sense of the word, is only achievable through a Republican president faithful to Reagan?s philosophy of ?freedom at all cost??

  • Frank J. Gaffney, Jr.: ‘John Doe’ Telecoms
  • While the House of Representatives is vacationing this week, terrorists are probably communicating about plots to kill Americans without fear that their plans will be intercepted by U.S. intelligence.
