Biden Was Wrong On the Cold War
By Peter Wehner
Posted: Thursday, September 4, 2008
There are few members of Congress whose record on national security matters can be judged, with the benefit of hindsight, to be as consistently bad as Joseph Biden's.  [Read More]
Defiant Iran
The Gathering Storm, September 4, 2008
By Rick Santorum
Posted: Thursday, September 4, 2008
Iran remains defiant in its development of its nuclear capacities. This week, the country's deputy foreign minister said that 4,000 centrifuges are in operation with 3,000 more currently being installed at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility. Ali-Reza Sheikh Attar told Iranian television, "Had the Westerners become certain that the resolutions would bring us to our knees, they would have definitely intensified them." And in other news, the Russian company constructing Iran's nuclear plant has renewed its commitment to completing the project despite the U.N.'s opposition to the effort.  [Read More]
The Significance of Sarah Palin
By Peter Wehner
Posted: Thursday, September 4, 2008
There is a lot to say about Sarah Palin’s performance last night, but perhaps the place to begin is with this observation: Boy did Democrats choose the wrong hockey mom to pick a fight with.  [Read More]
South American Leftists Expand Anti-American Sphere
The Gathering Storm, September 2, 2008
By Rick Santorum
Posted: Tuesday, September 2, 2008
Bolivia's leftist president, Evo Morales, spent the weekend visiting Iran and Libya to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties there. Arriving in Libya on Saturday, he told the country's news service, "We are delighted about such visits to meet the revolutionaries and distinguished leaders in the world...We aspire to enhance the support and to upgrade the relations between our peoples in Latin America and the Jamahiriya," he said, referring toLibya. And in Iran yesterday, Morales continued his efforts (and rhetoric) to expand ties with the country that has agreed to invest over $1 billion in Bolivia's energy industry.  [Read More]
Senator Stealth
How to advance radical causes when no one's looking
By Stanley Kurtz
Posted: Tuesday, September 2, 2008
As Barack Obama's ties to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Fr. Michael Pfleger, and the militant activists of ACORN show, Obama's extremist roots run deep. Obama's close ties to the Chicago-based Gamaliel Foundation provide yet another connection with the world of far-Left radicalism.  [Read More]
Dr. Obama's Prescription
It isn't one we should want to take.
By James C. Capretta
Posted: Tuesday, September 2, 2008
Senator Obama's plan, like all government-run health-care systems, would eventually resort to price controls to keep budgetary costs down, and these controls would reduce the number of willing suppliers of health care services, leading to waiting lists. This is not some economist’s theory; it is observable all over the world.  [Read More]
Religion's Essential Contribution to Public Life
By Colleen Carroll Campbell
Posted: Friday, August 29, 2008
Should religion steer clear of politics? If media commentaries about last week's Pew Research Center poll on the subject are any indication, the answer from Americans is yes. The finding has delighted many secular pundits, who see it as proof that Americans agree with their aim of shooing religious values and voices from the public square.  [Read More]
Daschle's Health-Care Plan
He wants an uber-regulator, on the fast track.
By James C. Capretta
Posted: Thursday, August 28, 2008
Former Democratic senator Tom Daschle seems to understand there is a downside to government-run health care -- which is, well, the government calling the shots.  But his solution would be a nightmare:  creation of an all-powerful, unaccountable, and unelected Board of "wise men" to make the big health care decisions.  [Read More]
Back to Saddleback
By Peter Wehner
Posted: Thursday, August 28, 2008
The most lasting impact of the recent nationally televised interview Rick Warren did with Senators Barack Obama and John McCain may not have to do with the two presidential candidates. It may be its effect on, and the impression people have of, evangelical Christianity.  [Read More]
CAMPAIGN 2008: Would President Obama Be Good For Black America?
By George Weigel
Posted: Thursday, August 28, 2008
When I was a teenager, my formative, if largely vicarious, political experience was the civil rights movement. It was a time of great issues bravely contested, a moment replete with heroes and villains. Anyone who sang "We Shall Overcome" in those electric years will welcome a new fact of our public life: America -- a country whose original sin was slavery --  has become a place in which an African-American can be a major party's candidate for president.   [Read More]
