Be yourself, Rick. You’re on solid ground.

Gov. Perry stumbled all over himself when the question of in-state tuition for the children of illegal aliens was raised in the GOP presidential debate last week. He needn’t have. He stands on solid ground and should say so.

Cuban on taxes. Wrong, wrong, wrong!

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban caused a stir earlier this week on his blog. He opined that paying taxes is, “the most patriotic thing you can do.”

What if a candidate told the truth?

Members of the ruling class from both sides of the aisle, together with various media elites, are all over Rick Perry for his comments regarding Social Security. Their criticism of Perry is condescending in its assumption that the American people can’t handle the truth.

The triumph of ideology over experience.

The countdown has begun toward President Obama’s much-anticipated “major policy statement” on jobs. If you watch it, keep a company called Solyndra in mind.
