Is America Entering a New Victorian Era? by Michael Barone
Forty-seven years ago, the musical "Hair" opened on Broadway. Elderly mavens -- the core theater audience then, unlike the throngs of tourists flocking to cheap movie adaptations today -- were instructed that America was entering an "Age of Aquarius." The old moral rules were extinct: we were entering a new era of freedom, experimentation and self-expression.

Documented Irresponsibility By Thomas Sowell
People who entered the United States illegally may be called "undocumented" in politically correct circles, but what is all too well documented is the utter irresponsibility of both political parties in dealing with immigration issues

Conservatism With a Heart? It's Called Socialism. By Ted Rall
American conservatives are staring down the barrel of a future that looks increasingly bleak for them due to two major demographic shifts: The country is becoming more ethnically diverse, and younger voters -- Gen Xers, millennials, and presumably whoever comes next -- are left cold or even repelled by the Republican Party's Christian evangelical base and "social issues," i.e. its obsession over who everyone has sex with. Anticipating their imminent irrelevance, some on the right say it's time to reboot conservatism by bringing it more in line with the increasingly tolerant tone of most Americans on social issues, and by addressing their economic concerns.

A Small Senate Battlefield by Larry J. Sabato, Geoffrey Skelley, and Kyle Kondik
Since we last took a comprehensive look at the 2016 Senate races, a slew of new candidates have jumped in, some promising contenders have dropped out, and intraparty competition has intensified.
Sounds dramatic. Yet what most strikes us is the overall stability, thus far at least, of the Senate picture.

The Fact-Free Left By Thomas Sowell
The outrage over another multiple murder of American military personnel on American soil by another Islamic extremist has been exacerbated by the fact that these military people had been ordered to be unarmed -- and therefore sitting ducks.
Millions of American civilians have also been forbidden to have guns, and are also sitting ducks -- for criminals, terrorists or psychos.

Hillary Clinton's Economics: Suddenly It's 1947 By Michael Barone
Like it or not, Hillary Clinton is the single individual most likely to be elected the next president. So it's worthwhile looking closely at and behind her words when she deigns to speak on public policy, as she did in her July 14 speech on economics.

Is Donald Trump the New Ross Perot? Or the Next Pat Buchanan? By Larry J. Sabato
We all know what Donald Trump is saying and the issues he’s emphasizing. Many have noted the strong reactions of the media, pundits, and his business associates, some of whom have cut ties.
