The debates are over. The 2012 presidential election may now be decided by those who stay home. So please — vote! And help get others out to vote!

In 2008, the top international issue in the presidential debates dealt with restraining Iran and preserving stability in the Middle East

With today's changes in the Arab world, let's reflect on how Iran became the devil of the free world.

In his opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts stated "It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences.":

For 36 years I’ve served on dozens of political campaigns. As bad as our election process seems, I’m convinced our system is the world’s best. It’s worked for 234 years. But campaign financing does corrupt the process, as one question ...

Most assume that Mitt Romney is the most electable GOP candidate. But Rick Santorum would prove a stronger opponent against President Barack Obama than either Romney or Newt Gingrich. And his triple win on his own "super Tuesday" in Minnesota, ...

The GOP primary process has been a real roller coaster ride ...

After weeks of venomous partisan chatter from the halls of Congress and the White House; after an embarrassingly dishonest and juvenile debate on an issue of profound importance to America’s future; our nation’s debt ceiling will be increased by another ...

Today, as percentage of gross domestic product, government spending is at a 60-year high while revenues are at a 60-year low.

Today, as percentage of gross domestic product, government spending is at a 60-year high while revenues are at a 60-year low. Balancing the federal budget and then reducing the national debt requires: (1) spending cuts everywhere, including major entitlement reform, ...

Our government must stop condemning Big Oil for high gas prices. This attack on free enterprise is untrue and un-American. If this is our government’s only response to rising oil prices, we’ll soon see gas prices at $5 per gallon ...

With each new election and new polling data, Democrat and Republican insiders are becoming increasingly confounded as their anointed candidates are defeated in primaries or trailing in polls to tea party-endorsed underdogs.

The Gulf oil-spill catastrophe calls for immediate teamwork, as various entities work to end this spill, clean up damages, preserve the environment and prevent re-occurrences.

Throughout America, an ever-deepening chasm divides those who want government to take care of them and those who find that idea repugnant. These differences spiked during the health-insurance saga, as unbridled progressive demagogues expanded already bulging bureaucracies, granted unaffordable trillion-dollar ...

The just-proposed White House budget cuts NASA and defense programs (which fund important private-sector jobs) while increasing funds for government bureaucracies/employees (jobs funded by taxes from private-sector workers).

For more than two centuries selfless Americans have sacrificed much to preserve freedoms at home and secure them for others worldwide. Now it’s our turn.

A homegrown U.S. soldier-jihadist, having never served overseas, slaughters unarmed members of the U.S. military on American soil, and his act is foolishly excused by some as “secondary post-traumatic stress disorder.” The war on terror is spoken of no more. ...

As 2006 ends, most Americans are understandably demoralized about Iraq, with a defeatist attitude that could become a self-fulfilling prophesy in 2007. Daily reports of suicide bombings focus Americans on US/Iraqi failures regarding sectarian terrorism. Oblivious to slow, steady progress ...

Approaching the fifth anniversary of Sept. 11, we've received another wake-up call. Miraculously spared further catastrophic losses, we must finally resolve to win the war on terror. Many have hoped the 9/11 attacks were a one-time horror.

Whenever our children or grandchildren misbehave, they are sent to their rooms. When kids are selfish, can't get along with others, talk back, fail to do their assigned chores, tell fibs, act-out or show disrespect, we give them a "time ...

The latest polls have President Bush's job approval rating at 36 percent and Congress' at 22 percent. So the headlines should read: "President's approval rating 50 percent higher than Congress.'"

The issues surrounding global terrorism are extremely complex, and call for thoughtful, balanced decisions. But America's "fast-food" mentality and venomous politics preclude careful development of plans, alternatives and actions.

To some, the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, are ancient history, a one-time horror. Many believe that if we could just capture Osama bin Laden, and get out of Iraq, our 54-month nightmare would be over.

All recent reports from the Middle East and Near East have been deeply disturbing. Hamas is victorious in Palestinian elections. A step backward in any hopes for peace? Terrorists, including the leader of the USS Cole attack, escape from a ...

A somber President Bush addressed Americans - where the state of the union is strong, stable and secure, far more so than any other nation.

Hurricanes. Floods. Wildfires. Tornadoes. Landslides. Earthquakes. Tsunami destruction. Natural disasters left hundreds of thousands dead and millions homeless. Thousands more were killed or wounded in terrorist attacks in Iraq, London, Paris, Russia, Bali, India, Jordan and elsewhere. 2005 was surely ...

The president's ability to lead is being destroyed by attacks on his character, motives and credibility. Serious allegations are demoralizing our troops, dividing America, confusing Iraqis and delighting terrorists.
