EDITORIAL: The right to flight
Union members in Wisconsin are voting with their feet, abandoning the organizations that promised to best represent their interests. Published August 1, 2013
EDITORIAL: Visas for cash
A visa to get into the United States is precious, and a lot of people would pay a lot of money for one. A visa can be a pass through the backdoor into America. Published July 31, 2013
EDITORIAL: A veto for big-store bashing
It's three weeks and counting since the D.C. Council enacted a Wal-Mart bashing bill, and Mayor Vincent C. Gray is still agonizing over whether to sign it. Published July 31, 2013
EDITORIAL: A soap opera for Hillary
Hillary Clinton has lived her life in a soap opera, and now NBC will make one about her. The writers of NBC's projected four-part miniseries have lots to work with. Published July 31, 2013
EDITORIAL: A trade with terrorists
The British government traded a notorious terrorist for money five years ago, and newly released diplomatic emails confirm what everyone knew then. Published July 30, 2013
EDITORIAL: Tolerance in San Antonio
The First Amendment took a hit in San Antonio last week, but the Constitution is still breathing. The San Antonio City Council voted to consider a city ordinance disqualifying anyone who believes homosexual conduct is wrong from serving, ever, on a municipal board. Published July 30, 2013
EDITORIAL: Bailing out Hockeytown
If it was good enough for General Motors, it's good enough for Detroit. That's the message Steve Rattner, who was President Obama's automobile-bailout czar, is peddling as a television talking head and op-ed essayist for The Wall Street Journal. Published July 30, 2013
EDITORIAL: A debtor’s alternative
The House votes this week on a student-loan bill that cleared the Senate last week by a vote of 81 to 18. There's an air of urgency because higher student-loan rates are bad politics for politicians. Published July 29, 2013
EDITORIAL: The Forgotten War
More than six decades have passed since North Korean tanks rumbled across the 38th Parallel into South Korea on a quiet Sunday morning - June 25, 1950 - and set off another war just five years after the end of World War II. Published July 29, 2013
EDITORIAL: Indulging the wastrels
House Republicans and Senate Democrats are squabbling over the Internal Revenue Service budget for next year, and a disinterested observer (if there are any) would expect them to be fighting over who could be roughest and toughest on the agency. Published July 29, 2013
VIDEO: Emily Miller on Fox News’ ‘Huckabee’ on Obama’s ‘phony scandals’
Gov. Mike Huckabee of Fox News interviewed Emily Miller about President Obama's speech this week in which he criticized Washington for focusing on "phony scandals," pivoted to economic issues and barred college Republicans from attending the event. Published July 28, 2013
EDITORIAL: The Obamacare canaries
Thirty-five House Democrats broke party ranks last week to vote for a Republican bill to delay the employer mandate in Obamacare. They're the canaries in the coal mine, and everyone knows what President Obama thinks of coal. Published July 26, 2013
EDITORIAL: Christmas in July
President Obama, the retailer-in-chief. Who knew? He's making a series of speeches on the economy over the next few weeks to revive flagging interest in himself, if not the economy, stealing, sort of, from retailers who hold "Christmas in July" sales as the attention of shoppers is drawn to the attractions of summertime. Published July 26, 2013
EDITORIAL: Starving the kids
Michelle Obama's heart is in the right place in trying to reduce childhood obesity, but unfortunately the stomachs of American kids are usually in the wrong place. Published July 26, 2013
EDITORIAL: Religious freedom for Vietnam
President Truong Tan Sang of Vietnam visits the White House on Thursday, and this is a providential occasion for President Obama to speak up for religious liberty. Published July 25, 2013
EDITORIAL: The ‘sinister force,’ afoot again
The government war against Republican conservatives gets curiouser and curiouser. It's not just the IRS, but a state government, too. The link between the IRS pursuit of Christine O'Donnell and the state of Delaware's snooping through her federal tax records may be just a coincidence, but color us suspicious. Published July 25, 2013
EDITORIAL: Domestic snoops win the day
The National Security Agency has been lying to Congress and the public. For years, employees at the spy agency have sworn they absolutely, positively never engage in domestic snooping. Published July 25, 2013
EDITORIAL: A hero for UNESCO
Ernesto Guevara - or "Che," as he is known in infamy - has held a romantic appeal for certain sophomores since he died in Argentina in 1967 in the same manner he dispatched thousands in Cuba, by an executioner's bullet. Published July 24, 2013
EDITORIAL: Accommodating failure
President Obama hopes to take the nation's attention away from the IRS scandals and a royal baby (good luck with that) with a speech Wednesday. His topic, the economy, isn't an obvious one, considering miserable economic growth numbers and 7.6 percent unemployment. Published July 24, 2013
EDITORIAL: Acting on a dream
Sometimes a little research confirms something everyone knows. The Pew Research Center asked in a National Survey of Latinos, "Are unauthorized immigrants overwhelmingly Democrats?" The answer was overwhelmingly yes, which should give House Republicans a little food for thought. Published July 24, 2013
