PETHOKOUKIS:: Why Obama’s corporate tax plan is a total bust – The Enterprise Blog
By MB Snow at February 22, 2012 | 1:27 pm
The current U.S. economic recovery is arguably the worst in modern American history. Incomes are flat, housing is moribund, and the past three years have seen the longest stretch of high unemployment in this country since the Great Depression. Yet President Barack Obama—with the backing of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner—has the temerity to propose a corporate ... Go To Article

Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham have taken time off from helping install an Islamist government in Libya (mainly the Muslim Brotherhood, with some help from al Qaeda) and calling for the arming of the Syrian “rebels” (mainly the Muslim Brotherhood, with some help from al Qaeda) to heap praise on the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

RICH LOWRY:: The Effrontery of Rick Santorum – NRO
By MB Snow at February 22, 2012 | 12:40 am
The media has unleashed the hounds on Rick Santorum. He was last seen a step ahead of the braying pack, trying to explain that he hadn’t accused President Barack Obama of being a crypto-Muslim. The former Pennsylvania senator criticized the president’s environmentalism as representative of a “phony theology.” The press snipped the remark out of the context and ... Go To Article

ECONOMY::REVIEW & OUTLOOK: Obama’s Dividend Assault – WSJ
By MB Snow at February 22, 2012 | 12:35 am
President Obama's 2013 budget is the gift that keeps on giving—to government. One buried surprise is his proposal to triple the tax rate on corporate dividends, which believe it or not is higher than in his previous budgets. Mr. Obama is proposing to raise the dividend tax rate to the higher personal income tax rate of 39.6% that will kick in next year. Add in the ... Go To Article

GUN CONTROL:: Disarming the Myths Promoted By the Gun Control Lobby – Forbes
By MB Snow at February 22, 2012 | 12:30 am
As much as gun control advocates might wish otherwise, their attacks are running out of ammo. With private firearm ownership at an all-time high and violent crime rates plunging, none of the scary scenarios they advanced have materialized. Abuse of responsibility by armed citizens is rare, while successful defensive interventions against assaults on their lives and ... Go To Article

PETHOKOUKIS:: What might Romney’s new tax reform plan look like?
By MB Snow at February 22, 2012 | 12:15 am
CNBC’s Larry Kudlow: Team Romney tells me there will be a bolder tax-cut plan released either at the debate tomorrow night (if Mitt gets it in) or more formally at his Detroit Economic Club speech on Friday. I’m embargoed from releasing details until tomorrow. But I can say that the new plan will be across-the-board with supply-side incentives from rate reduction, ... Go To Article

ROBERT McDOWELL:: The U.N. Threat to Internet Freedom – WSJ
By MB Snow at February 21, 2012 | 1:10 pm
On Feb. 27, a diplomatic process will begin in Geneva that could result in a new treaty giving the United Nations unprecedented powers over the Internet. Dozens of countries, including Russia and China, are pushing hard to reach this goal by year's end. As Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said last June, his goal and that of his allies is to establish "international ... Go To Article

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON:: As Time Goes By . . . – NRO
By MB Snow at February 21, 2012 | 1:05 pm
It is hard to remember a more tense time in the last 20 years. Tiny Israel may be poised to preempt the nuclear capabilities of Iran (an Iran that itself once attempted, unsuccessfully, to take out the Iraqi reactor at Osirak before Israel finished the job), whose terrorist appendages and missiles have the ability to do it a great deal of damage in return. How such a war ... Go To Article

FRANK GAFFEY, Jr::Blind Ideology – CFSP
By MB Snow at February 21, 2012 | 1:00 pm
Last week, President Obama feted Communist China’s Xi Jinping, the man who hopes to lead his country as it emerges as the world’s next superpower. Mr. Xi must have been delighted to see press reports that his host is poised to end America’s claim to such status – at least with respect to the traditional means of measuring it: nuclear weaponry. According to a ... Go To Article

McGURN: Sex, Lies and Rick Santorum – WSJ
By MB Snow at February 21, 2012 | 9:39 am
When Barack Obama was campaigning for president in 2008, he declared that marriage is between a man and a woman. For the most part, his position was treated as a nonissue. Now Rick Santorum is campaigning for president. He too says that marriage is between a man and a woman. What a different reaction he gets. There's no mystery why. Mr. Santorum is attacked because ...
