  • Justice is the reward for vigilance

    Nearly ten years ago, Americans looked on in horror as the events of September 11, 2001 unfolded. At the end of the day the skyline of one of our greatest cities was forever changed, the Pentagon, a symbol of America’s military strength was still smoldering, and a previously indistinguishable field in western Pennsylvania had suddenly and terribly become an unmarked grave for America’s newest heroes.

  • Give Obama the credit he deserves

        After first digesting the news of Osama bin Laden’s death on May 1, I had two quick thoughts: I’d glad that’s over, and that this man who took such an evil path in his life and caused so much death and suffering has finally been brought to justice.

        Then, I thought, Barack Obama just got himself re-elected in 2012. More on that later…

  • Neither Keynesian nor a stimulus

        Last month, the Wall Street Journal offered the opinion that the “Democrats” stimulus has acted as a drag, rather than a boost, to the economy. They dubbed it a “Keynesian discount” on growth.

        I think those folks are being rather charitable. They're at least giving "Democrats" credit for attempting a Keynesian stimulus. Actually, what the “Democrats” did was neither Keynesian nor a stimulus. It was just a cynical partisan political ploy.

  • Don’t let kittens loose

    By Karin Sherbin

    Bedford Humane Society

        Most people think of this time of year only as spring, but for people in animal rescue it’s called the kitten season as young unwanted cats overwhelm shelters or else are abandoned to fend for themselves.

  • Putting Americans back to work

    While the national unemployment rate has improved slightly, millions of Americans continue to struggle to find work. The only way to help these individuals and our economy recover is to tear down barriers to job creation and get Washington out of the way.

  • Libya policy on slippery slope

        If anyone had said last Christmas that 2011 would be a year of revolutions in the Arab world that would spread from one country to the next, that person would not have been believed.

        Yet, that is exactly what has happened, and the United States has been caught off guard as much as any other country. By the time the administration was digesting what happened in Tunisia – where popular uprisings led the strongman president to leave – it had already spread to Egypt.

  • Bin Laden's death

    I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children.
