My father, who's been a Democrat from the day he was born and a huge supporter of Democratic presidents from John Kennedy to Bill Clinton, told me recently that the party has changed so much that he "doesn't even recognize" the Democratic party he sees today. He changed his voter registration to...

Incumbent Presidents have a huge statistical re-election advantage. Patraeus will not improve Romney's odds of beating Obama. Romney needs to take a risk, but Patraeus is the wrong kind of risk.

I would bet that it's a fake. The demands/requirements stated in the letter are unconstitutional in almost every imaginable way.

Based upon the psychiatrist's report the police had probable cause to question Holmes and to determine if there was cause for further action (e.g., to seek a warrant to conduct a search of his home). Did the police do any of these things?

Black Panthers and Neo-Nazis agree on almost everything. True to form, these groups also hate each other.

There will be a fifteen minute conversation among the chattering classes that the average man/woman on the street couldn't care less about.... and then this conversation will go away. Every once in a while, we will have this fifteen minute conversation again... Nobody will give a damn... And...

I don't like Romney but will vote for him and other Republicans just to stop the financial transactions tax (FTT) that will put most of us who trade for a living out of business. Obama was a big supporter of the FTT until Geithner temporarily talked him out of it. With Giethner leaving in...

Everyone I talk to, be they liberal or conservative or anywhere in-between, agrees that our tax code is much too complex and needs to be simplified... Yet it never happens. The politicians just keep making it more and more complicated.

A perfect description of our tax code.

Priceless!!!:D :D :D

My primary concern is for my two kids. I don't see a future for them here. My wife is Australian and has retained her Aussie citizenship which may provide an escape for our children from this sinking ship.

What's the political message that gets the most votes? "If you'll vote for me, I'll take money away from other people and give it to you." In a society where everybody wants something from the government the only "practical" tax rate is 150% because that's what we're spending. Until...

Illegal immigrants are ineligible to practice law in California, President Obama's Justice Department told the state's high court in a rebuff to a man who was brought to the United States as a toddler and worked his way through college and law school...

Very few people believe in individual freedom, small government and low taxes. Small government and low taxes is easy to define. But you can only have a small government and low taxes if people believe in self responsibility. We have become an "entitlement society," which is exactly the...

Your stereotypes do not apply to me. I believe in individual freedom, small government and low taxes. I'm a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment. I have many guns that I use for competition, self/family protection, and just because I feel like owning them. I believe that humans are at...
