With her unbridled hostility towards Israel, the EU's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton provides us with an abject lesson in what happens when a government places its emotional aspirations above its national interests.2012-06-15T11:53:00-04:002012-06-17T01:10:05ZCaroline Glick

Vice President Joe Biden is almost casual about ending marriage. It’s “inevitable,” he says. He thinks it’s not such a big deal. But it is a big deal. Recognizing same-sex couplings as marriages will mean the end of marriage. That’s because saying yes to two men or two women marrying opens the door to polygamy. 2012-06-15T10:19:00-04:002012-06-17T01:10:05ZKen Blackwell

Do children raised by same-sex couples do just as well as children raised by married moms and dads?2012-06-15T10:18:00-04:002012-06-16T10:10:03ZMaggie Gallagher

On Monday The New Yorker's Ryan Lizza launched a voyage of the imagination --an extremely well sourced essay on what Team Obama thinks a second term would look like.2012-06-15T09:37:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZHugh Hewitt

While the liberal media obsesses with jobs losses from Bain Capital’s private equity investments, it conveniently ignores the mounting economic cost of President Obama’s command and control energy policy that has destroyed billions of dollars in investment capital in the coal and renewable energy sectors.2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZTom Borelli

American capitalism doesn’t make you selfish; socialistic entitlements foster more selfishness. Free enterprise encourages you to earn your reward by serving customers willing to pay; entitlements build the expectation that someone else ought to pay to fulfill your wants and needs.2012-06-18T00:01:00-04:002012-06-18T22:10:03ZTerry Paulson

A look at President Obama’s first term shows his repeated disregard for the Constitution that he has sworn to preserve, protect, and defend. Since taking office, Obama has betrayed contempt for our constitutional system of separation of powers.2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZStephanie Hessler

As the nation debates whether to institutionalize same-sex marriage, social scientists have been weighing in -- often with a heavy hand. As Mark Regnerus, author of a new study examining outcomes for children in a variety of home environments, notes social science regarding gay and lesbian parenting has swung from "presents challenges," to "no difference" to "superior" in the space of one decade. The American Psychological Association declared flatly in 2005 that, "Not a single study has found children of lesbian or gay parents to be disadvantaged in any significant respect relative to children of heterosexual parents." 2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZMona Charen

While calls for U.S. Attorney General Eric "Stonewall" Holder's resignation grow and the House GOP gears up for a contempt vote next week, it's worth remembering how we got into this mess. In two words: feckless bipartisanship.2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZMichelle Malkin

The bad news continues out of Europe with Spain getting a downgrade and European finance ministers engaged in an epic game of finger pointing. 2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZChris Poindexter

Barack Obama keeps desperately pounding the entertainment industry's ATMs in Hollywood and Manhattan, while our manufacturers of make-believe have absolutely refused to expel their vicious hatred of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZBrent Bozell

Ancient Sparta turned its conquered neighbors into indentured serfs -- half free, half slave. The resulting Helot underclass produced the food of the Spartan state, freeing Sparta's elite males to train for war and the duties of citizenship. 2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZVictor Davis Hanson

Senior members of Congress -- both Republicans and Democrats -- are reacting with shock and awe at the tsunami of national security leaks emanating from the Obama administration.2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZOliver North

Here at home, ex-Clinton strategists James Carville and Stan Greenberg sent a memo to President Obama telling him that his campaign message of slow and steady recovery progress is out of touch with Main Street America.2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZLarry Kudlow

What would you do if gangs of robbers roamed your neighborhood at night, breaking into your neighbors' houses and stealing their family jewels and life savings? You would arm yourself, and your family members of sufficient age, to defend your property. Or you would move to a safer neighborhood.2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZPeter Ferrara

Given that Spain is supposed to get €100 billion from the ESM, some might be surprised to learn ESM Still Not Ratified by Germany, Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Slovakia, Netherlands 2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZMike Shedlock

President Obama’s so-called Paycheck Fairness Act (PFA) thankfully failed in the Senate on a party-line vote last week. But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has entered a motion to reconsider the bill meaning that he can bring it back up for a vote at any time. He may force another vote on the misnamed bill in a desperate ploy to paint Republicans as “anti-woman” in the weeks leading up to the presidential election.2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZJulie Borowski

When taking heat from these surprised congressmen, I couldn't help but think back to the reaction I received when I went down to the Occupy Wall Street protest last year. Both venues were dominated by people who knew very little about how capitalism actually works. 2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZPeter Schiff

Powerful mystery novels keep you reading right to the end to find out “whodunit.” But some end up disappointing; after all the twists and turns, it simply turns out “the butler did it.” That’s how Washington’s mystery of the century, Watergate, has turned out. 2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-16T02:40:03ZRich Tucker

Those people not in political office say things are bad, while our current political leaders say give it more time since things are improving. Nevertheless, in making our voting decision, perhaps the simplest of fact is the most overlooked. 2012-06-15T00:01:00-04:002012-06-15T11:40:04ZBill Tatro
