Every new president flatters himself that he, kinder and gentler, is beginning the world anew.

After endless days of commuting on the freeway to an antiseptic, sealed-window office, there is a great urge to backpack in the woods and build a fire.

I happen to believe that the preemption school is correct, that the risks of allowing Saddam Hussein to acquire his weapons will only grow with time.

Loyalty to the President is great, but loyalty to truth, integrity, and country is even better.

Middleness is the very enemy of the bold.

Fairness through leveling is the essence of Obamaism.
