If there were any doubt as to whether this administration is waging a war on religion, it should have disappeared by now. The administration has ordered — without congressional input — that most health insurance plans cover preventive services for women, including recommended contraceptive services without charging a co-pay, co-insurance, or a deductible. That would […]
A leader in the pro-life community says he doubts former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s pro-life credentials, because the candidate for the GOP nomination for president never has stopped flip-flopping on the issue. While campaigning for governor in 2002, Romney said he would “preserve and protect” a woman’s right to choose. He later said his views […]

And his economic policies ushered in a Long Boom, as this chart from the Joint Economic Committee (via the Heritage Foundation) shows: And if anything, those numbers tend to understate the Reagan record given […]
LAKEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Rick Santorum’s campaign slogan could very well be one word: doomsday.

Employees of American Airlines worked for years on the assumption that they would receive a pension. But that legal obligation may not survive America Airlines’ bankruptcy. Companies and cities see this as a way out. They can drive a hard bargain with unions. Who do you think unions worry about most? Existing workers or retired […]
At the same time as the Obama administration is heralding a strategic “pivot” towards Asia and the growing threat of Chinese military modernization, the U.S. Navy continues to put on a brave face in the middle of a growing readiness crisis. While not new, this alarming trend was highlighted again this week when Navy officials […]
Barack Obama’s poorly received State of the Union speech deserves a second look. Conventional wisdom pronounced the SOTU a relatively weak Obama effort. It was. Diffuse, filled with the usual enemies, it pulled together various back-filed policy ideas into a proposal he called, with a straight face, “An Economy Built to Last.” Bemused election-year observers […]
