Linda Chavez: How to Cure the Health Insurance Crisis Key Democrats have already announced that the president's plan to use the tax code to encourage more Americans to obtain health insurance is dead on arrival on Capitol Hill. They complain that this is just one more scheme to give tax breaks to people who don't need them, while continuing to deny essential health care to the most vulnerable.
Paul Greenberg: Hold On To The Plow You could hear the slight weariness, the semi-artificial cheer, the hurry-slowly tempo in Tony Snow's voice. The president's always pressed-for-time-and-running-late spokesperson was conducting still another pre-State of the Union conference call Tuesday afternoon at about 3:30 Washington compressed time.
Rebecca Hagelin: Wealth and Freedom Go Hand In Hand It?s a question that has perplexed politicians, philosophers and philanthropists for generations: Why are some countries rich and others poor?
Lorie Byrd: Many Democrats Won't Stand For Victory In Iraq Several months ago I asked what the Iraq war effort might look like today if those on the left and in the media had conducted themselves differently.
Kathleen Parker: Absence of ambition To the relief of Democrats -- and the dismay of columnists -- John Kerry has decided that he won't be seeking the presidency after all.
Oliver North: Who cares? The Marines and their families here at this sprawling base on the Carolina coast didn't have much to say about the president's State of the Union address. For many of them, his address the week before had been more important.
Charles Krauthammer: Fuel Grows On Trees Is there anything more depressing than yet another promise of energy independence in yet another State of the Union address? By my count, 24 of the 34 State of the Union addresses since the oil embargo of 1973 have proposed solutions to our energy problem.
Jonah Goldberg: Fight Today or Occupy Forever "As I look at Iraq, I recall the words of former general and soon-to-be-President Dwight Eisenhower during the dark days of the Korean War, which had fallen into a bloody stalemate. 'When comes the end?' ... And as soon as he became president, he brought the Korean War to an end."
Mona Charen: State of the Union: Demoralized So there it is, stark and unmistakable, the Democrats do not wish to win in Iraq and will do nothing to further the cause of victory.
David Limbaugh: Can Democrats Square the Circle with Webb? Democrats have a new rock star, and I'm not talking about Barack Obama -- the most recent victim of the Clinton smear machine. I refer to Virginia senator James Webb.
Mike S. Adams: Life and How to Live it, Part VIII Sam was born just after the First World War, which meant that he would be old enough to serve in the Second World War. He did so bravely and had many stories to share when he returned.
David Strom: Are You Afraid Yet? Are you afraid? Very afraid? Well, if you aren?t, you should be. And if you are, you aren?t scared enough.
Rich Tucker: Let's Leave Iraq Victorious It?s a story that could be ripped from today?s headlines. An unpopular president commits American forces to a dangerous mission. If things go well, millions will probably see him as a hero. But if they go poorly, his political career is over. Oh, and he may well trigger a new war.
Debra J. Saunders: Can Bush learn from Schwarzenegger? In 2005, only one-third of California voters approved of the governor. In 2006, Schwarzenegger handily won re-election and a majority of voter approval.
