ANDREW KLAVAN – Where incendiary political rhetoric truly resides in America. Judging from his website, I would guess that Jared Lee Loughner suffers from schizophrenia. The man who opened fire with a nine-millimeter Glock in Tucson, Arizona, on Saturday was obsessed with mind control and bizarre, incomprehensible theories of currency and government.

Frank Salvato – If you were to list all of the things that fell victim to the tyranny of Progressive leadership in the 111th Congress of the United States, chief on the list, in addition to ethics and constitutional process, is honesty.

Peter Stern – It is true that we need better leaders in all areas in government and private industry, but where have all the good leaders gone?

In late August, a news item out of Philadelphia rippled across the Web: the city’s bloggers were being hit with a $300 tax. Outrage issued from America’s keyboards, though the initial report proved somewhat misleading.

Bryan Preston – Yet another study says biology may lurk in our political beliefs. Maybe! There’s another of those studies out there, that purports to show a biological difference between liberals and conservatives.

Pamela Geller – I tell you, Bloomberg should be brought up on charges for aiding and abetting the swindlers and grifters behind the Ground Zero mosque attack. Go read my piece over at Big Government. Bloomberg has lost it.

'We have the attitude that my oil is under your sand, and I'm willing to end your life'

Barney Frank agrees with a Pentagon assessment that with the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ there should be no distinctions between gay and straight service members, that indeed, they should be forced shower together. But at the same time Conressman Frank and the Pentagon also say that members of the opposite sex should NOT shower together. What gives?

David Solway – The federal government must never be given control of the internet and the airwaves. One wants to avoid falling into the deep, dark conspiracy well — where the hermeneutics of suspicion dominate one’s thinking, and practically everything of major importance that occurs in the sociopolitical domain is regarded as a nefarious plot foisted upon a victimized public.

Bryan Preston – Nightmare for the law-abiding tax payer and legal immigrant. Now that the tax deal and omnipork are done, Sen. Harry Reid is putting the DREAM Act on the docket for a vote this weekend.

Donna Garner – I seem to have made the newspapers today — Austin American-Statesman. Even though I am a private citizen exercising my First Amendment rights to free speech and do not get paid a cent for the articles I research, write, and publish widely on the Internet, Politifact.com decided to Fact Check one of my articles and make their assessment public. Should I be honored or perturbed?

“Just who the hell do you think you people are?” Nigel Farage poses an excellent question. We’re still waiting for the answer . . .

Peter Stern – Texas is one of several states considering to drop Medicaid. If the state drops Medicaid will Medicare be far behind? And then, will the state consider dropping public education so it can save money? Each such consideration is "penny-wise and pound foolish" as the saying goes. This is just political posturing, or at least I hope it is — or it is a death wish.

Richard Fernandez – Obama sees himself not just as any president, but as someone who even before he began his term was on the level of Abraham Lincoln.

The deficit commission's work doesn't exhibit the kind of out-of-the-box thinking needed to get us out of the hole we're in. It does meet the definition of insanity.
