Asian Conservatives

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) has been receiving praises lately in a sudden surge in popularity and appearing on the conservatives’ radar. First, Sarah Palin revealed on FOX News Sunday that she’s impressed with Ryan:
PALIN: …But listen, no, we have some strong, some young terps (ph) in this party. Paul Ryan, I’m very impressed with Paul [...]

In fact, the American Right is brainy and certainly enormous, considering that the majority of citizens identify with conservative principles. If conservatism fails then America fails. Period.
Steven Hayward of The Washington Post thinks conservatism has an intellectual problem:
Today, however, the conservative movement has been thrown off balance, with the populists dominating and the intellectuals retreating [...]

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius insults voters’ intelligence with her op-ed in the Washington Post where she essentially tells readers not to sweat the details of the health care bill. Just pass it and the rest will work itself out. Trust me.
Health insurance is fundamentally about peace of mind. If you have good [...]

There has been a lot of interest in the constitutionality of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) and the TARP funds. I see a lot of Internet searches about this. George Will has a very good piece in the Washington Post about this topic:

When an article titled “Unions Aren’t the Problem” shows up, you know it’s going to be entertaining and amusing to read. Marie Cocco of the Washington Post graciously provides us the intellectual stimulation we need this morning…

Creating a viable middle class has been the goal [...]

Hillary is being vetted as a candidate for Secretary of State in the Obama administration, but there are many out there who do not like the idea. David Ignatius explains in the Washington Post blog:

Another bailout package is in the works in Congress, one that’s even less popular but that’s not stopping the Democrats from pushing for it. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said a government lifeline would be provided only if the auto industry meet new fuel-efficiency standards and restructure to limit executive compensation. Of course, there is no [...]

Is this an apology or gloating? I’m reading the article by Washington Post ombudsman Deborah Howell, and I don’t get a sense that she thinks it’s embarrassing that the newspaper tilted Obama’s way in political coverage. She reveals all the evidence of pro-Obama coverage and unwillingness to dig deeper into stories which potentially hurt their [...]
