Hillary Clinton Won't Have an Easy Ride to Presidency
By Michael Barone
Will Hillary Clinton be elected America's next president? The polls suggest she will.Recent polls compiled by Real Clear Politics show her winning 67 percent of the vote in Democratic primaries, with no other candidate above 11 percent. General election polling shows Clinton with an average lead over various possible Republican nominees of 51 percent to 39 percent.
A Half-Century in Denial
By George Will
WASHINGTON -- Critics of Rep. Paul Ryan's remarks about cultural factors in the persistence of poverty are simultaneously shrill and boring. Their predictable minuet of synthetic indignation demonstrates how little liberals have learned about poverty or changed their rhetorical repertoire in the last 49 years.
Marching as to War
By Pat Buchanan
Sweeping through Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania this week, Joe Biden reassured all three that the United States' commitment to Article Five of the NATO treaty remains "solemn" and "iron clad." Article Five commits us to war if the territory of any of these tiny Baltic nations is violated by Russia.
Why Obama Scares Me
By Mona Charen
The most febrile of George W. Bush haters liked to claim during his tenure that the former president "scared" them. There is far more reason to be frightened by President Barack Obama, because fecklessness and inconstancy trigger wars.
It's Sunshine Week: Meet a Young Woman from the Old School
By Florence Snyder
Editor Lenore Devore thinks reporters should look at the wheat to be found in public records, and not the chaff of press releases peddled by taxpayer-supported ministers of disinformation.
Democratic Strategists in 2014 Are Like French Generals in 1940
By Michael Barone
It is reminiscent of the quandary faced by Gen. Maurice Gamelin on the evening of May 15, 1940. Suddenly he realized that German panzer troops had broken through the supposedly impassable Ardennes. French troops to the north were cut off and rendered useless, troops to the south were falling back in disarray on all sides and no reserves were available between the front and Paris. "Yes," he told the prime minister, "it means the destruction of the French Army."
Being Vladimir Putin
By Kathleen Parker
WASHINGTON -- "Once an agent, always an agent." This was the terse response of Nina Khrushcheva on New Year's Eve 1999 when her mother commented favorably about the new president, Vladimir Putin, who was then speaking on TV.
A Step Toward Amnesty ... A Leap in the Wrong Direction
By Paul J. Larkin Jr.
There is a bipartisan push in the Florida Capitol to pass legislation which would grant in-state tuition (or an equivalent tuition discount) to illegal immigrants. As a fiscal conservative, I strongly disagree with the ideology, intent, and rationale of HB 851 and SB 1400.
Is Putin the Irrational One?
By Pat Buchanan
Vladimir Putin seems to have lost touch with reality, Angela Merkel reportedly told Barack Obama after speaking with the Russian president. He is "in another world.""I agree with what Angela Merkel said ... that he is in another world," said Madeleine Albright, "It doesn't make any sense."
Making Minnows Happy Is Important to Special Interests
By Lloyd Brown
In marshes somewhere south of Lake Helen Blazes, the St. Johns River is formed. It slowly meanders north one of only a few rivers in North America that flow in that direction. Near the end of its 300-mile journey it turns east, passes in a broad swath through the city of Jacksonville, and then merges into the Atlantic Ocean.
