The arrogance of Obama's 'accommodation'

No one elected Barack Obama to be pope. So why on earth is he forcing Catholics to violate their religious doctrines?

 

Obama's boneheaded health-care fight with Catholics

The president desperately needs to woo Catholic voters in key swing states. So why on Earth is he picking a culture-war fight with them?

 

Obama is not the most polarizing president ever

Despite The Washington Post's rather preposterous claim, this president is not the nation's most divisive ever. Not even close

Independent runs by Ron Paul or Sarah Palin could cripple the GOP — but they're unlikely. A presidential bid by Michael Bloomberg, on the other hand...

 

One cheer for the super committee failure

Sure, the super committee blew it. But maybe now Congress will finally do its job

 

Newt Gingrich is for real

The conservative base wants a fighter. And Professor Gingrich, who routinely belittles his detractors as partisan fools, might just be the man for the job
