KNIGHT: Why Mayberry still resonates

"Americans loved, and still love, the notion of the small town as a manageable, non-threatening, friendly, finite community. ...The black-and-white world that Andy Griffith shaped so masterfully is there for our perusal from a distance, but it is not coming back either on television or anywhere else." - Ted Anthony, Associated Press

KNIGHT: Court’s awful ruling taxes our patients

When is a tax not a tax? Answer: When you're busy pushing a major expansion of government like Obamacare. The tax that is not a tax becomes a "penalty" or a "shared responsibility payment" in the text of the bill. In campaign lingo, it becomes an "investment."

KNIGHT: Classless warfare fails in Wisconsin

Wouldn't it be awful if an important election hinged on some fat cats outspending the opposition? That was the liberals' excuse for the failure of Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to unseat Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in Tuesday's recall election.

KNIGHT: Leftist assault on free speech and conscience

Have you heard of SWATing? Someone calls 911 falsely claiming that a person has killed someone or is about to do so. It can bring down a world of hurt, complete with sirens and a SWAT team with drawn guns.

KNIGHT: Obama’s wicked marriage proposal

After having done everything in his power to undermine marriage, President Obama has come out of the closet, so to speak, with his announcement that he's now for brideless or groomless "marriage." But he didn't come out alone.

KNIGHT: Saving the planet, one crucifixion at a time

KNIGHT: The audacity of cynicism

Barack Obama's 2006 best-seller, "The Audacity of Hope," gave us a number of clues as to how he would govern based on his worldview. We can't say we weren't warned. Amid the graceful prose, we see underlying hostility toward the idea of revealed truth (apart from his own).

KNIGHT: ACLU fails to establish right to porn

Wenatchee, Wash., famous for apples and wine, may become famous in the culture wars as well. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) just took it on the chin there over its ongoing campaign to force public libraries to accommodate perverts in raincoats.

KNIGHT: Titanic misappropriation of Reagan

The Titanic went down 100 years ago, on April 15, 1912. It took just two hours and 40 minutes for the sea to swallow the ship that "God Himself couldn't sink."
