EDITORIAL: Pimping teenage girls
Hollywood loves to preach. A new study suggests that Tinseltown's famous cameras should be turned on Hollywood itself to find the sinners. Prime-time TV programmers are finding a new standard of exploitation, pimping teenage girls. Published July 15, 2013
EDITORIAL: Standing up to the mob
From the time George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin in a scuffle on a cool, rainy night in Florida, the search began for a white villain. When the media mob couldn't find one they invented one. Published July 15, 2013
EDITORIAL: Oppressing the farmers
Every time Congress takes up a farm bill, as the House did Thursday, the politicians tell us it's all about saving the family farm. Published July 12, 2013
EDITORIAL: The white Afghan elephant
Many people treat themselves now and then to things they don't need. It might be a marginally useful high-tech gadget, a set of steak knives with handles of genuine plastic or a useless lawn flamingo in shocking pink with rhinestone toes. Published July 12, 2013
EDITORIAL: Obamacare blues
A debater running out of good arguments is always tempted to get mean and personal. The remaining liberal defenders of Obamacare are demonstrating this truism once more with frantic agitation over a new anti-Obamacare television commercial by Americans for Prosperity. Published July 12, 2013
EDITORIAL: Evangelical atheism
There are no atheists in foxholes, but there are plenty of friends of atheism at the Pentagon. The Obama administration has encouraged a mighty revival of nothing where the generals plot strategy at the temple of death and destruction. Published July 11, 2013
EDITORIAL: Keystone safety
The rail explosion over the weekend in Quebec piles tragedy upon tragedy. Fifteen persons died, and dozens more are missing or unaccounted for in the small town of Lac-Megantic, where a train of 72 oil tankers derailed, setting off explosions and fires that leveled 30 homes and businesses. Published July 11, 2013
EDITORIAL: Union pickpockets
The Obama administration and its allies have no shame. Devout Christians are forced to pay for abortions that violate their conscience. The public treasury is regularly raided to pay for Democratic voter-registration projects. Published July 11, 2013
EDITORIAL: Blindsided in Egypt
Nothing confuses liberals more than discovering that the tide of progress has gone out, leaving them high, dry and naked. President Obama has been beached by his backing of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Published July 10, 2013
EDITORIAL: Restoring a reputation
Eliot Spitzer just won't leave us alone. Five years after the Manhattan tabloids went into a frenzy when a call-girl ring identified the man who was the governor as "Client No. 9," he wants to get back into politics. Published July 10, 2013
EDITORIAL: Go away, jobs
The elites - and those pretending to be elite - love to sneer at the "big box" retail stores as much as the public loves to shop at them. Published July 10, 2013
EDITORIAL: Sorrow in a vacuum
Egypt is what happens when a nation falls into a vacuum. When Mohammed Morsi was thrown out by the generals, chaos took over, as it often does. The violence there accelerates with unfathomable horror. Published July 9, 2013
EDITORIAL: A trap by the Senate
Fresh from their Fourth of July recess, House Republicans will huddle to figure out what to do with the immigration turkey the senators dropped off as they were leaving town. Published July 9, 2013
EDITORIAL: Sailing to Whopperland
When the Egyptians took to the streets to depose the Obama administration's favored despot, their Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi, Secretary of State John F. Kerry went curiously missing. Published July 9, 2013
EDITORIAL: The castle under siege
The First, Second and Fourth Amendments to the Constitution aren't much admired by liberals, or "progressives," or whatever they're calling themselves this month. Published July 8, 2013
EDITORIAL: Left turn at the IRS
Don't confuse us with the facts. The congressional Democrats insist that left-wing groups suffered just as much IRS abuse as Tea Party groups did, but this attempt to deflect blame for the political corruption at the tax agency away from the Obama administration is hard work. Published July 8, 2013
EDITORIAL: The great train wreck
The delay of the employer mandate in Obamacare is designed to improve Democrats' prospects in next year's congressional elections, but it's difficult to see how and it's not promising news for everyone else. Published July 8, 2013
EDITORIAL: Shuttering the revenue cameras
The District of Columbia won't rest until a government mugger is posted on every street corner. The city's revenue cameras are shaking down drivers for nearly $100 million a year, but the District wants to expand the network until it extracts every penny in the motorists' pockets. Published July 5, 2013
EDITORIAL: Not so gay times in Africa
President Obama isn't a big fan of free trade, but there's one thing he's striving mightily to export — homosexual rights (and sometimes homosexuals). It's not a big seller in the developing world. Published July 5, 2013
EDITORIAL: The pocketbook spies
Our emails are read, our telephones are tapped and satellites keep track of where we go. This total information awareness should satisfy the nosiest of busybodies, but the federal busybodies want more. Published July 5, 2013
