Old School Values

Sister Dale McDonald, Director of Public Policy and Education Research at the National Catholic Educational Association, told me that declining enrollment is a national trend. Though there is some growth in the South and the West, Catholic schools are shutting down at the rate of more than 100 per year.

When Travel Is Experience
Making Sense

Hillary, who even the media now admit will say or do anything to win election, is using her past as first lady to attempt to sell the American people on her expertise in foreign policy, a claim largely based on her travels during her husband's administration and the fact that she met with world leaders while junketing abroad.

Supreme Court Review of Gun Rights
Bill Steigerwald Interview with Robert Levy

Fans of gun rights and scholarly defenders of the U.S. Constitution alike were left pleased and optimistic by what they heard U.S. Supreme Court justices say March 18 during oral arguments for a case challenging Washington, D.C.'s, sweeping, super-strict gun law.

Democrats’ Suicide Impulse Emerging - Making Sense
To start the Democrats' triumphant march towards January, when they will assume actual control over the House, Democrats handed Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi a humiliating defeat in her first effort to assert her control of her party.

Go to the Source for the Facts About the Border Fence
For reasons I’ll never understand, some of my fellow conservative talk-show hosts have turned to that bible of liberalism – The Washington Post – to get the “facts” about the U.S.-Mexico border fence just authorized by Congress. If they wanted to get the real story -- and not the misleading one they read in the October 6 edition of the Post -- they could easily have done what I did and called Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and the man who wrote the bill mandating the building of the 700-mile border fence....

Assessing the War on Terrorism
With British Muslims hatching plots to blow up airplanes with liquid explosives and our all-out war on terrorism nearing its fifth anniversary, it's a good time to check in with Steven Emerson.

Gas Prices: Bush’s Rebound Fuel
The key is to seize the day. The president’s pathetically weak warning that we are facing a long, hot summer and that gas prices might rise even more sounds helpless and removed. Instead of lamenting high prices, he should pounce on the opportunity to lead America away from an oil-dependent economy.

Illegal Immigration: The Poison Fruit of Mexican Corruption
Making Sense

John Gibson asked me the other day on Fox TV why hordes of Mexicans flee their homeland and enter the U.S. illegally. My answer: the cancer of corruption that afflicts every level of Mexican society and restricts even the smallest forms of economic opportunity for the poorest Mexicans.

Let Bush be Bush
Making Sense

For a long time now, we have not seen the real George Bush and his low poll numbers reflect that. There is some truth to the claim that he was living in a bubble, isolated from the public by timid staff members who feared allowing George W. Bush to be George W. Bush.

Let's Play Ball - Making Sense
With baseball season just a few weeks away, the media focus is not on the coming season but instead on what a famed major league batting sensation did a long time ago.

Riding Toward A Fall - Making Sense
After Jimmy Carter gave away the Panama Canal, my father, Ronald Reagan, grabbed hold of the issue and never let go. He rode that horse all the way into the White House. President Bush needs to think about that because if he fails to back down and at least give the opponents of the Dubai ports deal a chance to be heard, the Democrats are going to mount this gift horse and ride it into the White House just as my Dad did with an issue Jimmy Carter handed to him.

Bruised Egos - Making Sense
The pellet wounds suffered by Vice President Cheney’s hunting companion Harry Whittington were mere scratches compared to the damage done to the egos – and reputations – of the crybabies in White House press corps. They have been mortally wounded, and the wounds are self-inflicted
