EDITORIAL: Obama’s gender gap

The gender gap has been a fixture on the political landscape for decades, but men have never enjoyed equal rights. The story line is about how it relates to women, even though the gap cuts both ways. A recent headline such as "What's behind Obama's big lead among women?" could as easily be "What's behind Romney's big lead among men?"

EDITORIAL: Romney’s laugh lines

The problem with making jokes about Barack Obama is that his followers don't think they're funny. Still, adding a dash of humor is the best way for Mitt Romney to make an impact in Wednesday's presidential debate.

GHEI: Taxing marriage

Congress packed its bags and left town last week without resolving the "fiscal cliff." As things stand, the George W. Bush tax rates will expire Jan. 1, leaving us all liable for sending trillions more to Uncle Sam each year.

EDITORIAL: Electing to tolerate voter fraud

While presidential and congressional candidates take to the stump to win votes, a lower-profile battle is raging over who will cast them. With fewer than 40 days to go before the 2012 election, access to the voting booth could determine the outcome on Nov. 6.

EDITORIAL: Relief for American enterprise

The U.S. economy is in desperate need of a boost. That's not surprising considering our businesses struggle under a tax burden higher than what is found in any other major industrialized nation.

EDITORIAL: Rigging the polls

Last week New York Times polling guru Nate Silver tweeted, "The. Polls. Have. Stopped. Making. Any. Sense." They do make a lot of sense if the objective is to help President Obama win a second term -- or so Democrats think.

EDITORIAL: Mr. Obama, stop praising Islam

President Obama, on Tuesday you will speak to the United Nations about the growing turmoil in the Middle East. If you behave true to form, you will reiterate what you and other members of your administration have been saying for years, that Islam is a beautiful religion of peace.

GHEI: Uncertainty and unemployment

Amalaise has fallen over the economy. At a time when we should have fully recovered from the Great Recession, we're still 4 million jobs short of where we were just a few years ago. Doubts about economic policy, particularly forthcoming changes in taxes, has turned this "recovery" into a job loser.

EDITORIAL: ‘Global Frackdown’ risks power smackdown

American energy independence ought to be a no-brainer. The recent Middle East unrest underscores the need for minimizing U.S. reliance on foreign sources to power the nation. Obama administration efforts to block access to domestic fossil fuels ensures our future is taken hostage by unfriendly oil lords.

EDITORIAL: The price of Obama’s Muslim empathy

EDITORIAL: A world without cars

EDITORIAL: Obama coddles Twin Towers bomber

The Obama administration is reportedly in talks with Egypt's government to transfer convicted terrorist Omar Abdel Rahman back to his home country. This would be a major foreign-policy blunder and an insult to the counterterrorism professionals who put the terror leader behind bars.

EDITORIAL: Obama’s moocher culture

The liberal media went wild over a video of Mitt Romney saying people who pay no taxes and live off government handouts have no reason to vote for him. Left unsaid is that Barack Obama has been running on exactly that platform.

EDITORIAL: Obama’s intelligence failure

The attacks in Benghazi and Cairo were the result of massive intelligence failure at the top levels of government. There were many indications that extremists were targeting U.S. diplomats in Libya and Egypt months before this year's Sept. 11 attacks. These deadly plans had nothing to do with a low-budget, anti-Islamic film. The Obama administration simply failed to connect the dots.

GHEI: Bernanke’s more-placebo policy

The problem with Washington is there's no interest in any cure to our economic ills that has the side effect of angering powerful special interests. On the left, there's no desire to trim government spending that public-sector unions depend upon.

EDITORIAL: Islamist explosion not over film

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is emphatic that the anti-Islam video "Innocence of Muslims" is "disgusting." This happens to be what most Americans feel about our flag being desecrated. For some reason, foreign governments don't heap praise on the United States and its traditions every time their people commit acts of disrespect toward us. U.S. politicians could learn from their example.

EDITORIAL: Saving gas, wasting lives

President Obama's latest fuel-efficiency decree means consumers will have to turn in their SUVs and pickup trucks for tiny, European-style city cars within the next few years. It's also likely to produce another, more costly consequence: a lot more death on America's roads.

EDITORIAL: Obama’s runaway red ink

The national debt vaulted past the $16 trillion mark two weeks ago, but there's no sign of a slowdown. The federal government is entering the fourth straight year in which it has spent $1 trillion more than it collected in revenue. An imbalance so large can't continue without threatening America's future.
