EDITORIAL: The 2012 economy

Consumer confidence is at the highest level it's been since the recession officially ended in February. Many financial analysts share the optimistic outlook. An Associated Press poll of economists projected higher growth for the U.S. economy in 2012. The bad news is that the positive growth figure is contingent on Europe's economic situation remaining relatively stable - and that's not likely.

EDITORIAL: Hands off the Internet

Congress once again is about to expand the ability of federal bureaucrats to censor the Internet.

EDITORIAL: The Pez-dispenser presidency

It was just over three years ago that Barack Obama echoed the words of great men in his much-ballyhooed speech on race: "We the people, in order to form a more perfect Union ... ." That occasion was guaranteed to chart a new course for the country, all to no avail.

That's because Mr. Obama dispenses supposedly momentous addresses like a Pez dispenser.

EDITORIAL: Obama: Entangled by Islam
