      <title>The Real Fat Cat Party</title>
      <description>
One of the great frustrations of the libertarian-minded right is how Republicans got stuck being "the party of big business."


The quotation marks around the term are at least somewhat necessary, because in many...</description>

      <title>Assessing Pre-Blame for Climate-Change Summit</title>
      <description>
Next week's Copenhagen summit on climate change already seems doomed to failure, and voices on both sides of the global-warming debate are trying to pin the blame on Climategate. Republicans on Capitol Hill are trying...</description>

      <title>Washington, Home of Intellectual Hypocrisy</title>

I think I've had my fill of moral hypocrisy. We routinely hear stories of evangelical ministers who "mentor" hookers at $500 an hour, "family values" politicians who like the cut of a congressional page's jib, or...</description>

In principle, I agree. If upholding our values makes...</description>

      <title>The Politics of Fort Hood</title>
      <description>
Let me say up front, I don't think President Obama is to blame for the Fort Hood shootings, and I don't think it's fair to say otherwise.


But (you knew there had to be a "but"), that doesn't mean Obama won't pay...</description>

      <title>Sometimes an Extremist Really Is an Extremist</title>

Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan demonstrated many things when he allegedly committed treason in the war on terror. For starters, he showed -- gratuitously, alas -- that evil is still thriving.


He demonstrated that...</description>

It's all so terribly sad.


To listen to liberals and the White House spin election results, you'd think all was well with the world. Barack Obama is still personally popular! The evil right-wing extremists lost in...</description>
