EDITORIAL: How about a war on terrorism
Shouldn't terrorist groups be called terrorist groups? This question is at the center of a new dispute over the future course of the effort in Afghanistan. Pakistan has been promoting dialogue between the Afghan government and some of the most militant extremist groups; the United States would rather see the terrorists defeated. Published July 16, 2010

EDITORIAL: Enabling unemployment
The debt Democrats are piling up hasn't fixed the economy. Obama administration policies have only delayed recovery and increased unemployment. Published July 15, 2010
EDITORIAL: Racialist Justice
By now, the default judgment about the Barack Obama-Eric H. Holder Jr. Justice Department is that it discriminates intentionally on the basis of race. By the precise definition used in the American Heritage dictionary, the department is racialist. Published July 15, 2010
EDITORIAL: Obama’s homosexual-Muslim conflict
''Human rights are gay rights," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said recently, "and gay rights are human human rights, once and for all." That's a touchy-feely liberal talking point, but don't tell it to the Muslims. Published July 15, 2010

EDITORIAL: Quotas by proxy in Dodd-Frank bill
Senators who appear poised today to pass the lumbering, intrusive new financial-institution regulation bill should ask themselves, and be asked by their constituents, if they really want to be on record supporting discrimination imposed by rampaging bureaucrats. Published July 14, 2010
EDITORIAL: The supercar recession
President Obama broke ground in Columbus, Ohio, last month on the 10,000th road project funded by the Democrats' massive $787 billion stimulus bill. The carefully choreographed event helped kick off the so-called "recovery summer," during which we are expected to believe that the administration's spending binge is curing our economic woes. It would have been more accurate to call this the double-dip summer. Published July 14, 2010
EDITORIAL: Beware: Swedes jumping the border
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. hinted last weekend that even if Arizona's statute on cooperative enforcement of federal immigration laws survived a court challenge, his department would find other ways to stop it. "Six months from now, a year from now," he said, the Justice Department might "look at the impact the law has had ... and see whether or not there has been [a] racial-profiling impact. If that was the case, we would have the tools and we would bring suit on that basis." Published July 14, 2010
EDITORIAL: Obamacare abortions on tap
Where have you gone, Bart Stupak? Even more importantly, where is your voice, Kathy Dahlkemper? Published July 13, 2010
EDITORIAL: Kill the crackers
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People put forward a resolution yesterday formally accusing the Tea Party movement of racism. That's ironic coming from an organization whose mission is to promote the fortunes of one particular racial group. Published July 13, 2010
EDITORIAL: Congress to fatten the school lunch program
The House Education and Labor Committee today will consider legislation extending Uncle Sam's reach into what our children eat. Although the $19.2 billion federal child nutrition program already hands out free or subsidized breakfast, lunch and snacks to 32 million kids, the bill under review would open up the freebies to millions more. The Obama administration has pledged another $10 billion in spending over 10 years. Published July 13, 2010
EDITORIAL: Fenty’s death train
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood on Thursday announced $293 million in federal funding for six transit projects - primarily streetcars - in Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas. D.C. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty was snubbed in his request for a share of this handout, but the setback is likely to be only temporary. White House nostalgia for obsolete transportation modes is so great that the $1,548,000,000 price tag on Mr. Fenty's trolley scheme will be seen as economically sensible. Published July 12, 2010
EDITORIAL: Obama’s ban on skimmers
While millions of gallons of oil flow into the Gulf, oil skimmers from many countries are sitting on the sidelines. This includes the world's largest, known as A Whale. The enormous Taiwanese skimmer is as long as three-and-a-half football fields and can collect 500,000 barrels of oily water a day. Such equipment could make a big difference, considering the highest estimates are that 100,000 barrels of oil are leaking into the Gulf each day. Published July 12, 2010
EDITORIAL: Obama threatened by Tea Party
Reality won a rare victory against the White House on Sunday when President Obama's press secretary, Robert Gibbs, admitted that the November 2010 congressional elections will be a tough time for Democrats. "There's no doubt there are enough seats in play that could cause Republicans to gain control," he said. "There's no doubt about that." Published July 12, 2010
EDITORIAL: The Philippine moment
Basket-case countries rarely get unambiguous opportunities for real reform. That's what the Philippines has now with the presidency of Benigno Aquino III, who was sworn in on June 30. The stakes are high for Asia's oldest democracy, which long has been mired in civil war, debt, poverty and corruption. Published July 9, 2010
EDITORIAL: Obama appointee’s prescription for socialism
Barack Obama promised the most open and transparent administration in history. His vow didn't convince him to extend senators the courtesy of listening to their advice and consent on the nomination of Dr. Donald Berwick to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
