It’s the Economy, Dems
by Donald Lambro
The economy is tanking. Economists say it has slowed to a near comatose 1.5 percent growth rate, unemployment claims were at a nine-month high and jobs are scarce, yet President Obama is focusing on corporate campaign donations.

by George Will

Getting nervous
by Cal Thomas
Despite their control of all three branches of government, this has not been a good summer for liberal Democrats. Their healthcare “reform” bill, which has yet to be fully written, much less fully funded, has been exposed at town hall meetings as a power grab over life and [...]

Young Voters Should Take Another Look at Obama
by Michael Barone
Dear Young Obama Voter,
Congratulations. You have truly changed America. Those of you under 30 voted 66 percent to 32 percent for Barack Obama, an unprecedented margin. Your elders 30 and over voted for him, too, but only by a 50 percent to [...]

I Thought ‘Dissent Is Patriotic’
by Dennis Prager
Living in liberal Los Angeles, I am surrounded by people — and bumper stickers — I do not agree with.
