Angry White Dude, one of my favorite commentators (andrywhitedude.com) says “going postal” when a person snaps and becomes violent is an outmoded term. Regarding the recent armed “visitor” at the White House gate shot by police: [Full Story »]

A Little Common Sense
By Rich Lowry

President Barack Obama learned from Bill Clinton’s mistakes in 1993-94. He ran, relative to Clinton, a buttoned-up transition. He sought to avoid Clinton’s tactical miscues on health care. And he steered clear of cultural land mines.
The backlash against Democrats in 1994 was famously attributed to “gays, guns and God.” Obama has mostly avoided stoking opposition around that hot-button triad, but faces a backlash almost indistinguishable in feel and intensity. Why? [Full Story »]

Dear friends and former students,
I was delighted when you asked me to attend the Rhine School Reunion and to have a part on the program. I want everyone to know that I would have been there with you had it not been for the fact that we are at present having some rather severe health problems. [Full Story »]

Thoughts From The Right Side
By Marshall Miller

Do you want to save some big money for the USA? We should close most or all of the more than 800 military bases we operate in other people’s countries. Could you imagine some other nation setting up military bases in the United States? Other countries generally seem to like our presence there since we spend a lot of money there, in many cases keeping their economies afloat. [Full Story »]

A Little Common Sense
By Rich Lowry

In keeping with his new spirit of compromise, President Barack Obama has offered a health-care bill staking out middle ground between House and Senate Democrats.
At $950 billion, it’s more expensive than the Senate bill, but cheaper than the House bill, and mixes and matches sundry tax proposals. Obama has again proved himself a committed bipartisan leader -- if liberals from the House and liberals from the Senate are considered political parties. [Full Story »]

Dear Editor,
No matter how great of a nation America has become there are many things one can say about her citizens. As time continues to pass the citizens of this community as well as the nation continue to disconnect. When we think of one nation under God, the citizens of this nation continue to cross the boundaries of unity. [Full Story »]

Your foreign aid dollars in action: The Arab daily Al-Watan said back in 2002 Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat took a $ 5.1 million U.S. foreign aid payment intended for needy Palestinians and deposited it into his personal bank account. Foreign aid is illegal spending, not authorized by the U.S. Constitution. [Full Story »]

A Little Common Sense
By Rich Lowry

Climate alarmists conjured a world where nothing was certain but death, taxes and catastrophic global warming. They used this presumed scientific certainty as a bludgeon against the skeptics they deemed “deniers,” a word meant to have the noxious whiff of Holocaust denial. [Full Story »]

“Getting in the game”

Editor,

Many young people report feeling pressure to have sex (or to start “getting in the game” as some of them call it), especially on certain occasions, such as an anniversary or Valentine’s Day. Sixteen-year-old Mark started dating Marci in seventh grade. By the start of eighth grade they were having oral sex, and on Valentine’s Day in the ninth grade they had intercourse for the first time.
That the onset of puberty brings with it a heightened awareness of sexual feelings and increased likelihood of sexual contact is nothing new. But with puberty beginning earlier, sexual behavior with consequences may begin younger. [Full Story »]
