Do Blacks and the Left Really Believe This? By: Dennis Prager Here is a contemporary political truth: Every time you think that the left and its political party have hit moral bottom, they will eventually prove you wrong. The most recent example occurred last week in Louisiana. The head of the Louisiana Democratic Party, State Senator Karen Carter Peterson, D-New Orleans, stood before her colleagues in the state Senate and announced the reason people oppose Obamacare. "You ready?" she asked three times. It is President Obama's color. Taking Back the Narrative By: BJU Press Every country and culture thrives on story. Bolstered by narrative, the world is itselfa narrative of the age-old struggle between good and evil. But the main Storyteller is being supplanted by other, lesser storytellers. God and His commandments are being taken out of the picture, and the stories of our children’s lives are being rewritten with a secularist slant. How is this happening? In their classrooms, on TV and the internet, and at the mall, children are being taught—blatantly and subtly—three major ideas: Bill Bennett Bill spoke with David Gelernter about the scandals enveloping the Obama administration and what it means for the country and politics. Mike Gallagher Mike talks about Obama's recent appointment of Susan Rice as the new National Security Adviser. Dennis Prager Traditional dating is dead or dying. So what has replaced it? And is it a step forward or back? Michael Medved Michael discusses the Science and Culture Update about academic freedom. Hugh Hewitt Hugh mixes it up with Arizona’s Governor Jan Brewer over her veto of a religious freedom bill.

Commentary Magazine The Exploding IRS Scandal By: Peter Wehner Yesterday’s congressional hearings turned out to be a disaster for the IRS and, more broadly, for the Obama administration. We’re now hearing from real people (see here and here) who are telling real stories about real harassment. It’s all quite chilling, from efforts to intimidate donors and illegally releasing tax returns, to pressuring pro-life groups not to protest outside of Planned Parenthood organizations, to demanding to know about the prayer activities of citizens. The Wall Street Journal Obama's Inspector General Negligence By: Joseph Schmitz With so many scandals breaking in Washington, one may well ask: Where were all the inspectors general when these bad things—at the IRS, at Justice, and at State before, during and after Benghazi, for instance—were going on? Where were the presidential appointees who, since the Inspectors General Act of 1978, are meant to root out gross mismanagement, fraud and other abuses at their federal departments and agencies, or among those whom the agencies regulate? The sad truth is that in the Obama administration many of the most important IGs mandated by Congress simply are not in place. Reason.com Unless We Change Some Things, America Will Eventually Go Broke By: John Stossel Europe’s struggles prove that “austerity” fails! So say the Big Spenders. With a condescending sigh, they explain that Europe made deep cuts in government spending, and the result was today’s high unemployment. “With erstwhile middle-class workers reduced to picking through garbage in search of food, austerity has already gone too far,” writes Paul Krugman in The New York Times. One problem with this conclusion: European governments didn’t cut! If workers pick through garbage, cuts can’t be a reason, since they didn’t happen. President Obama does an amazing thing Amb.
