President Obama’s plan to dramatically and unilaterally dismantle our nuclear stockpile will only invite America’s enemies to test and provoke us.  more

The Obama administration is about to unveil a new nuclear strategy which seriously reduces the role and importance of nuclear weapons, not because it will help keep the nation safer, but rather because the president and the far left pine for a world free of nuclear weapons.  more

Ryan Sorba, a conservative activist who attacked CPAC for accepting a co-sponsorship from a gay Republican organization and FF contributor Alex Knepper, who subsequently confronted him, can both stand to learn a lesson about civil discourse.  more

The demon sheep attack ad unveiled last week by California Senate candidate Carly Fiorina is one of the most brilliant, witty and devastatingly effective political ads ever made.  more

The president’s State of the Union speech is unlikely to change anything. Indeed, the political dynamics that existed before he spoke remain intact; Obama did nothing to alter or arrest them.  more

Are young 20- and 30-something conservatives whiners and conformists? It’s hard not to draw that conclusion when reading some of the supposedly “cutting-edge” writing by young hipster cons.  more

In the Massachusetts Senate race, Democrats and independents have good reason to support Republican Scott Brown and may help him pull past Martha Coakley on election day.  more

If the president and Congress are focusing most of their attention on healthcare, then they’re shortchanging the imperatives of national security.  more

The failed Detroit bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was turned on to radical Islam while attending school in London. That same radicalization campaign is being waged on American campuses and with more limited but still deeply troubling success.   more

It’s high past time for the president to acknowledge that winning the War on Terror is his most important, overriding responsibility. Everything else — including so-called comprehensive healthcare reform — is secondary.  more

Instead of trying to avoid primary battles, the GOP should welcome the opportunity to have a vigorous intraparty fight in 2010.  more

The 2010 election may be a banner year for Republicans. But if the party is to capitalize on the electoral wind at its back, then it mustn’t cede New York and the Northeast to the Democrats; it must field top-tier candidates like Rudolph Giuliani.  more

It’s not too late for Rudy Giuliani to change his mind. The Republican Party and the conservative cause need him out on the campaign trail and in the United States Senate.  more

President Obama calls Afghanistan and the larger war on terror a war of necessity. Yet his supporters begrudge spending even 1% of the GDP to fight this war – jealous of every nickel that they covet instead to expand the domestic welfare state.  more

The Reid deal will only pave the way for what Howard Dean and the hard Left honestly and forthrightly say that they want: a “single-payer” healthcare system in which private sector insurers no longer exist and the government monopolizes the healthcare marketplace.  more

Larry Sabato has a great line today about the byzantine process that gave us the Senate health reform bill.  more

The Right could learn from the example set by Charles Krauthammer, the single most trenchant and insightful critic of the Obama administration.  more

Many right-leaning pundits and pols were eager to praise Obama for delivering a supposedly serious speech that defended the use of military force. But the substantive policy implications of the Oslo speech also raise troubling questions.  more

It seems like only last week — after his speeches at West Point and Oslo — that Barack Obama was a neoconservative hero. But now some neocons are beginning to see Obama and his foreign policy as they really are.  more

The neoconservative enthusiasm for Obama after his recent speeches at West Point and Oslo is misplaced. At best, Obama is a so-called realist who eschews the use of military force except in the most narrow circumstances. At worst, Obama is a dove who refuses to exercise U.S. military power when necessary.  more
