E.J. Dionne Jr. - Kennedy's inaugural address presents a challenge still
On Jan. 20, 1961, John F. Kennedy began his presidency with a speech at once soaring and solemn. Fifty years on, we have not heard an inaugural address like it. Tethered to its time and place, it still challenges with its ambition to harness realism to idealism, patriotism to service, national interest to universal aspiration."

Why Sarah Palin Drives Them Wild - HUMAN EVENTS
I wonder how many television hosts and “journalists” tuned in to Sarah Palin’s interview on “Hannity” this week, waiting with bated breath for her to say something they could try to distort. And the more she says “this isn’t about me,” the more they make it about her.
Let’s enter the world of Sarah Palin for a moment."

TheDC Analysis: The myth of inevitable American decline (and China’s rise) | The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment
It has almost become a piece of conventional wisdom among some segments of the media and academia that America is declining and China is rising to take its place. The American Age is rapidly fading, the narrative goes, and the Chinese Age is dawning. As Chinese President Hu Jintao made his visit to Washington this week, this meme was in overdrive"

The same people who had blamed Sarah Palin for the massacre at the Tucson Safeway and then taunted her for her 'silence' were enraged when she responded.

House Dem exemplifies New Tone by comparing GOP to Nazis on House floor � Hot Air
Steve Cohen (D-TN) has merely updated his repertoire on his attacks against the Tea Party and Republicans. Nine months ago, they were the Klan with better fashion sense; now they’re Nazis using the tactics of Josef Goebbels. One might think being the target of a nasty anti-semitic slur and compared to a Klansman himself (by a fellow Democrat in his home district) might have taught Cohen a lesson in civility before the New Tone became the new Ugg Boots on Capitol Hill, but alas, as readers can see for themselves, Cohen still suffers from his chronic case of cerebral-rectalitis."

We get it, Sarah Palin. You’re not morally culpable for the tragic shooting in Tucson, Ariz. All of us around the “Morning Joe” table agree, even if we were stunned that you would whine about yourself on Facebook as a shattered family prepared to bury their 9-year-old girl."

Dick Armey and Matt Kibbe: What Congress Should Cut - WSJ.com
The primary economic challenge today is that our government spends too much money it doesn't have, and it is involved in too many things it cannot do well and shouldn't do at all. This burden is manifested by a $1.3 trillion annual deficit and a $14 trillion national debt. The more pernicious effects of this fiscal drag are unseen: a debased dollar, massive (and hidden) unfunded liabilities, and a crushing burden on would-be job creators."
