The Anti-Romney VoteA funny thing happened to Mitt Romney on the way to his coronation as the inevitable Republican candidate for President of the United States. Minnesota, Michigan and Colorado happened.
Brent Bozell:The Secular Media Vs. Religious Liberty
The Obama administration is waging war on Christianity. Somehow, the networks haven't seen this as newsworthy.
Jackie Gingrich Cushman:The Long Haul
The New York marathon is a wonderful event -- well planned, well laid out and with great crowds.
Victor Davis Hanson:Iran 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0
On the campaign trail, presidential candidate Barack Obama once called for a "reset" policy with Iran.
Larry Elder:Aren't Republicans Supposed to Be Colorblind?
Oh, for crying out loud! Ethnic-based Cabinet appointees? Do we still need to go out and "seek" people of a certain color or religion to show "fairness and inclusion"? What about considering the best people possible -- isn't that the only appropriate answer to that question?
Michael Barone:GOP Must Convince Young People It's the Party of Options
The Republican presidential candidates, except for Ron Paul, haven't been paying much attention to young voters in the primaries and caucuses so far. But any Republican nominee -- which is to say probably Mitt Romney, or maybe Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum -- had better be paying attention to them in the summer and fall.
Judge Andrew Napolitano:Do Catholics Have Too Many Babies?
When we were colonists and fought a war against the king and Parliament so that we could secede from the British Empire and be independent of it, we also fought for the value of personal freedom. That is the idea that in matters of personal choice, the government should play no role. The king only cared about the colonists' personal choices if he could control or tax them.
GOP Needs to Rip Obama Mask Off on EnergyYou wanna grow debt quickly? Obama's your guy. But on the economy? Turn to the much more reliable capitalists in Communist China. That’s at least the message from Canadian prime minister, Stephen Harper.
Hugh Hewitt:The President's Anti-Catholic Duck
The president and his team had thought they were dividing women from Republicans when in fact they were uniting Catholics of all political persuasions in a single front.
Cal Thomas:Fudging the Numbers
The Obama administration is touting the latest unemployment numbers released last week by the U.S. Department of Labor as proof its policies are working. But a closer look at the actual number of able-bodied people who are willing to work, but are not, reveals a different picture.
Acting as the Typhoid Mary of the Global Economy, the OECD Urges Higher TaxesPlease forgive all these questions. I’m trying to figure out why any organization – even a leftist bureaucracy such as the OECD – would send out a press release entitled, “Rising tax revenues: a key to economic development in Latin American countries.”
Has Order Resumed in the Stock Market?This month-over-month change puts the overall level of the S&P 500's index value at the upper end of our forecast range for the month. Or would have done so, if we had not discontinued publicly offering our forecasts.
Charge!The Fed has been printing money like crazy for a few years now and hardly any of it has reached Main Street. It's all gone to banks to shore up flaccid balance sheets and pay bloated bonuses.
Emmett Tyrrell:The Delousing of a Movement
As the tents were coming down at McPherson Square, the dead rats and mice being retrieved, the urine and feces and filthy bedding disposed of by District of Columbia employees dressed in hazardous-materials suits like their contemporaries at Fukushima, I thought of the left-wing press.
Steve Chapman:Appease This!
On April 1, 2001, a U.S. spy plane and a Chinese fighter collided over the South China Sea, forcing the Americans to make an emergency landing on Chinese soil. But the Chinese government said it would not release the crew until it got an apology.
Diversity and Board of DirectorsFor investors, it means they ought to be less worried about the gender and color of the skin in the board room and more worried about how they interact with top management to make decisions that are in the best long term interests of the company.
Gold Higher On Lackluster TradingEquity markets were mostly positive with only the FTSE 100 as the lone loser down 0.01 percent. Stock futures for U.S. markets mirror the optimism and appear to be set to follow overseas markets higher.
NightWatch: US-Pakistan Relations Appear MendingPakistan is expected to permit NATO supply lines to open and permit truck convoys to drive to Afghanistan, possibly after the US makes a formal apology for the deaths of the 24 soldiers.
After a 40% Surge, This Stock Could Give it all BackA deeper look behind Coinstar's income statement, along with an unvarnished look at that Verizon deal, implies that the stock's run is almost done.
Bernanke Finally Says Something That Seems to Make Sense "8.3% Unemployment Understates Labor Weakness"The Bernanke Fed and the Greenspan Fed have both proven beyond a shadow of a doubt they do not know what they are doing, where the economy is headed, or anything else of relevance in setting monetary policy.
Ralph Benko:The Business Cycle Throws The GOP A Curveball
243,000 new jobs? This is more than respectable. No unseemly disparagement by Republicans welcome, nor victory lap by Democrats. A pox on both their houses.
Bob Goldman:An Office Kind of Love
The cubicles of the lovelorn in IT start blooming with heart-shaped balloons, a lovely sight until they are burst by the technicians' pointy, little heads.

Ann Coulter:Plutocrat Dems Attack Romney As "Richie Rich"
Having given up on pillorying Mitt Romney for plundering his way to vast wealth -- because, unfortunately, it isn't true -- the NFM (Non-Fox Media) seem to have settled on denouncing him as a rich jerk.
Michael Reagan:A Little More Heat
It seems to me that what is missing in the top two contenders for the Republican presidential nomination is passion.
Michael Medved:For Mitt: Lessons from Teddy
As his formidable campaign marches inexorably toward the nomination, Mitt Romney should learn a vital lesson from the guy who beat him in his first race for public office: Senator Ted Kennedy.
Paul Kengor:Obama's 'Healthcare' Mandate: What Would Reagan Say?
February 6 was the anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s birth. It comes at an appropriate time.

During a visit to Cairo last week, US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was asked whether she would advise Egyptians drafting a constitution for the post-Mubarak era to look to other countries' basic charters as a model.
Rich Galen:Sub-Tuesday Surprise
There were election events last night in Missouri, Minnesota, and Colorado.
Susan Brown:The Obama Administration's Switch to the Super PAC Dark Side
During campaign appearances in 2008, Americans were swept off their feet (some quite literally if you take into account the swooning women) with the idea of "hope and change." In almost childlike faith, people grabbed on to the promise that then Senator Barack Obama was a different kind of politician who promised to be the proverbial tie binding us together in unity.
Tom Borelli:Obama's War on Coal Undermines Manufacturing Jobs
President Obama’s glaring ignorance of the economic consequences of his energy policy will doom a central theme in his State of the Union speech: his “Blueprint for an America Built to Last” plan to boost manufacturing jobs.

Michelle Malkin:Super PAC-Men: Obama Bundlers Gone Wild!
The White House didn't blow a dog whistle for deep-pocketed liberal donors on Monday. No, the administration whipped out a supersized vuvuzela. Blaring message: Let loose the campaign finance-bundling hounds of super PAC war!
John Stossel:Government Can't Make Us Happy
In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson called the pursuit of happiness an unalienable right. This was a radical idea. For most of history, most people didn't think much about pursuing happiness. They were too busy just trying to survive.
Walter E. Williams:Economic Chaos Ahead
Let's think about the kind of mess that we're in. Federal 2010 Medicare and Medicaid expenditures totaled $800 billion. The projected annual growth of both programs is about 7 percent. Social Security expenditures are more than $700 billion a year.
Byron York:Running As a Businessman Could Be Romney's Curse
Mitt Romney has based nearly his entire presidential campaign on his experience as a businessman. "I spent my career in the private sector," Romney told Fox News in late November. "I think that's what the country needs right now."
Jonah Goldberg:A U.N. -- But for Good Guys
The governments in Russia and China very much want to uphold the principle that every now and then the state must crush people who want freedom. That is why they worked together to veto a fairly toothless United Nations resolution condemning the regime in Syria and calling for President Bashar Assad, the lipless murderer who runs the place, to step down.
Extremism in Defense of EqualityThe more often liberals speak on the topic of same-sex marriage, the more illogical their arguments become.
Obama is Big Brother's KeeperIt’s not the faith Obama and his secular friends object to. It’s the competition he has for position of messiah.
Shaky Grounds for Prop. 8 RulingTwo of three judges on a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel on Tuesday found Proposition 8 unconstitutional. Judge Stephen Reinhardt stipulated that the ruling skirted the larger issue of whether same-sex couples have a right to marry. That's a shame, because at least an equal-right-to-marry claim makes for a clean argument.
Terry Jeffrey:Did Mass. Constitution Authorize Romney to Mandate Health Insurance
You can now divide Americans into two groups: Those who believe government rightfully has the power to force people to purchase goods and services they do not want and those who don't.
Ben Shapiro:Is the Constitution for Everybody
According to The New York Times, the American Constitution is losing popularity with people around the world. "The Constitution," writes Adam Liptak, "has seen better days ... its influence is waning." Liptak points out that in 1987, over 160 of the 170 countries on Earth had cribbed from the Constitution -- but today, few countries do. Why? Liptak suggests, quoting Professor David Law of Washington University in St. Louis, that our Constitution is "Windows 3.1." It's difficult to amend, and it doesn't guarantee so-called "positive rights," such as healthcare, housing and education.
David Harsanyi:Obama's Halftime Hypocrisy
On Super Bowl Sunday, America was treated to the most expensive political commercial in history -- brought to you by Chrysler -- called "It's Halftime in America."
Dave Ramsey:Dave Says "Same as Cash," Same as Dumb
These same-as-cash contracts are a bear trap. They’re designed to mess you over big time. You can try to dispute it, but I’ve got a feeling you’ll lose and have to pay about $1,200 in stupid tax on this one.

The Obama administration is absolutely furious at Russia and China.

Michael Brown:Tolerance Is Still Not a Two-Way Street
Mike Adams recently reported on the landmark ruling of the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in the Julea Ward case, noting that the decision eloquently defended “fundamental religious freedom against a full-frontal assault from the LGBT community.” In the court’s own words, “Tolerance is a two-way street.
