As conservatives continue to rediscover the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, it is important to use words and embrace ideas that are consistent with our Founding principles.

A Time for Choosing
Your responsibility is great. Your votes will affect which candidates survive January’s electoral gauntlet, their likelihood of ultimately prevailing, and even whether others will feel impelled to enter the race. You, the voters of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida, will shape the range of choices for your fellow citizens elsewhere in the nation in this crucial year. – Weekly Standard
Romney capital gains tax plan same as Obama’s
It’s very confusing to people. I mean, what I have here is Romney’s own economic document. This is the first page of tax policy, in which he attacks President Obama for class warfare, saying: “He’s calling middle-income Americans ‘millionaires and billionaires.’ He actually includes every household earning more than $250,000.” Page two, his tax proposal, says he will cut capital gains and dividends and interest rates for anyone with an adjusted gross income of under $200,000. It’s an obvious contradiction. That’s Barack Obama’s position.
The Ant and The Grasshopper — An Allegory For The Country
Absurdity is often an excellent way to make a point. Aesop thought so when he created the fable of the ant and the grasshopper. But just how much of a fable was it? Unfortunately for the country, other than the anthropomorphic elements, the fable is no longer a fable nor absurd. Much of it has already happened or now is entirely plausible.
Obama is No Friend of the Middle Class
The slowest economic recovery in modern American history is a direct result of Obama’s policies. .. It’s not just spending that would make the drunken sailor blush that has sapped the strength of the economic recovery. It is also every other important policy aspect of the Obama reign. – American Spectator
Bolton: Post American president seen as weak and unconcerned
Obama has brought the world to the brink of another war. His lead from behind philosophy and focus on his own campaign ramifications of foreign policy decisions has weakened American influence in the Middle East and around the world. Reset buttons and meaningful “dialogue” have failed miserably.
Growth, Not Redistribution
If you want redistribution, you’d better first produce growth. Which the Obama Democrats’ policies have failed to do. Obama (and most academic historians) have learned the wrong lessons from FDR. – NRO
Here’s why you need to get going to defeat Obama
No matter who ends up the GOP nominee we all need to pull out the stops to defeat Obama. Imagine a second term where he does not have to worry about pleasing anyone for reelection. Obama 2.0 will be the permanent destruction of our Republic.
Noonan: President’s own party doesn’t like him
This continues as one of the most amazing and underappreciated facts of 2012—the sitting president’s own party doesn’t like him. The party’s constituent pieces will stick with him, having no choice, but with a feeling of dissatisfaction. – Wall Street Journal
Romney leads Obama by 6 – most yet
An unidentified GOP candidate leads Obama by one. Remember that the GOP is in a circular firing squad right now with intense primary battles. Millions are being spent on ads attacking Republican candidates while Obama basks in the media’s adulation and refusal to cover the myriad scandals plaguing the White House or examine his abysmal record on the economy.
