EDITORIAL: Obama, the empty-suit Nobel laureate

In Oslo today, President Obama will accept the least-merited Nobel Peace Prize since former Vice President Al Gore picked up the award in 2007 for spreading alarmist propaganda about climate change. Bestowal of the prize, which purportedly recognizes substantial achievement of some kind, actually calls attention to the fact that Mr. Obama has done precious little for international peace. It's ironic that this major international honor actually diminishes this president.

EDITORIAL: No climate-change transparency

There's plenty of cause to be skeptical of climate-change theology because global-warming advocates are secretive about their data. If climate-change research were all on the up-and-up, there would be no reason to hide it.

EDITORIAL: Clubbing SEALs

Two elite Navy SEALs were arraigned on Monday on charges related to punching a terrorist leader once in the gut, with a third SEAL to face arraignment later. Special Operations Petty Officer 2nd Class Matthew McCabe is charged with unlawfully striking a terrorist suspect "in the midsection with his fist" and for purportedly lying to a Naval Criminal Investigative Service officer about the incident. Petty Officers Julio Huertas and Jonathan Keefe are charged with impeding the investigation and dereliction of duty in failing to safeguard a detainee.

EDITORIAL: Obama’s risky-sex czar

WARNING: This editorial includes discussion of topics that are sexually graphic. Under usual circumstances, we would never entertain these subjects or the rancid language involved. In this case, however, a very unusual exception must be made because the issues are central to the background of a senior presidential appointee at the U.S. Department of Education who is in a position to influence how and what our children are taught in our nation's schools. Thus far, out of fear or squeamishness, there has been public hesitance to examine closely the beliefs of this individual because many are afraid even to touch the risky content. Our scruples cannot be used against us when traditional moral precepts need to be defended. Simply, the deep level of depravity involved in this subject cannot be portrayed without providing a couple of examples to illustrate the inappropriate content. Please do not read any further if you will be offended by sexually graphic language.

RANDOM ACTS: Holiday cheer for charity

The Choral Arts Society of Washington will hold its annual holiday concert and benefit at the Kennedy Center on Monday. A highlight of the holiday social season, the black-tie concert and gala has been a Kennedy Center tradition for 29 years.

America’s Morning News

In case you didn't tune into The Washington Times' nationally syndicated radio show "America's Morning News" - heard in Washington on WTNT-AM 570 and coast to coast via the Talk Radio Network - find out what four of Monday's guests told co-hosts Melanie Morgan and John McCaslin.

EDITORIAL: Obama’s buggery czar

The media is trying to keep this story in the closet, but it's important not to wink at all the serious problems surrounding President Obama's controversial "safe schools czar," Kevin Jennings.

EDITORIAL: Faux lobbyist reform, part deux

Just when we thought President Obama's phony effort to root out lobbyist influence in government couldn't get any more obvious, the White House has fallen to a new low level of fakery.

EDITORIAL: Leadership in war

Today is the anniversary of a day that will live in infamy. On Dec. 7, 1941, Imperial Japan launched surprise attacks that brought America into the Second World War. The United States and our allies were blessed with leaders who were dedicated to doing whatever it took to defeat the enemy, no matter how long that took. As General Douglas MacArthur put it so succinctly, "In war, there is no substitute for victory." That's a lesson our current president still needs to learn.

EDITORIAL: Media complicity in Climategate

A tale of destroyed documents, fraud, conspiracy and the misuse of millions of government dollars would seem to have all the juicy ingredients of a scandal that journalists would kill to cover. However, the mainstream media apparently doesn't think that Climategate is news. ABC News hasn't deemed the story newsworthy. Neither has CBS nor NBC. If Americans only got their news from the networks, they would not know about the global-warming fraud or would merely think there was a simple misunderstanding about what scientists meant in some vague e-mails

EDITORIAL: Obama’s ineffective executive decision

While President Obama has busied himself expanding federal spending at a record pace, government waste has managed to grow even faster. Apparently the Democrats are so busy handing out cash that they don't even bother paying attention to who's getting the boodle and why.

EDITORIAL: Justice thwarts Black Panther subpoenas

Could it be that President Obama's legal team is imploding due to a voter intimidation case involving the New Black Panther Party? So many new developments regarding the Black Panther case occurred in the latter half of last week that it is hard keeping up with them all. But none of them look good for the Obama administration or for Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.'s Justice Department.

EDITORIAL: Taxing for the troops

You aren't taxed enough. A measly 20 percent of the gross domestic product is a starvation diet for the poor, poor federal government, and Congress only gets to bestow a trillion bucks in discretionary every year.

EDITORIAL: The enemy at West Point

Insults against West Point by MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews are part of a pattern of left-wing denigrations against Americans serving in uniform. It's a motif indicative of an anti-military mind-set that is as dangerous as it is rude.

EDITORIAL: Global-warming theology

Belief in global warming had long had a tinge of theology about it, a form of cultism that adherents and defenders elevated to a holy crusade.

EDITORIAL: Global-warming fraud harms science

One of the defenses offered by the media and those caught in Climategate has been that no matter how obvious the e-mails seem, there is a complicated context that means only academics can fully grasp what the e-mails meant. For example, CNN quibbled that, "there's very little context" in the leaked e-mails. We checked into what academics outside the cabal of global-warming advocates have been saying, and their view of the cover-up ranges anywhere from it being "disappointing" to "highly disturbing." Some professional researchers are shocked, while others are not.

EDITORIAL: Killing opportunity for kids

It is disgraceful the way Education Secretary Arne Duncan dodges and weaves while back-stabbing some 1,700 D.C. schoolchildren whose hopes and dreams are set on the District's school voucher program. Taking a position of moral and political cowardice, the Obama administration refuses to intervene to save the hugely popular program from congressional Democrats determined to kill it. Mr. Duncan even refuses to address the District's program except by indirection and obfuscation.
