2012 In Perspective: Obama, Ryan, and the Youth Vote
When Paul Ryan mounts the podium on Wednesday to deliver his acceptance speech, he will give conservatives not just the ideological edge they have been longing for, but also an image of youth.
Trump And Sanders: Who's The Real 'Outsider'?

The 2016 SOTU: A Delusional Denial Of Reality
Of all the descriptions of President Obama’s last State of the Union address, the most apt and succinct that I’ve seen comes from Dr. Everett Piper, President of Oklahoma Wesleyan University. He simply called it a “delusional denial.”
What Next For The Left?
A strange period has now passed into history. Captivated by a presidential campaign in 2008, Americans by the millions came to believe that a new leader would be able to produce more than a transformed society and an era of world peace. Politics could be extended beyond its ordinary boundaries and bring about a spiritual renewal.

Less a new, independent movement than a reinvigoration of conservatism, the Tea Party has transformed American politics. It has reestablished the centrality of the U.S. Constitution in public discourse, made the federal debt a national-level question, and resurrected the necessity of holding elected officials accountable to their constituencies.
Anger Management
Anger is all the rage these days in American politics. A recent New York Times column bore the headline “The Year of the Angry Voter," while an earlier Washington Post story read "It's Not Just Trump: Voter Anger Fuels Outsider Candidates."
Behind The Rise Of Trump, Long-Standing Grievances Among Left-Out Voters
At the core of Donald Trump’s political success this year are the grievances of a sizable and now vocal block of disaffected voters, many of them white and working-class, and a Republican Party that has sought and benefited from their support while giving them almost nothing tangible in return.
