McManus: Sadder but wiser pols
President Obama took a posse of Republican senators to dinner last week, and this week he's giving Congress the unusual courtesy of no fewer than four presidential visits to Capitol Hill. Can a flurry of presidential schmoozing change Washington from...

Rand Paul stood up for us all
I hope I'm not too late to the fight. Last week, freshman Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., held an old-fashioned filibuster against the nomination of John Brennan to head the CIA. Paul's stated reason for taking to the floor and talking for 13 hours was that...Tags: G.K. Chesterton, Unrest, Conflicts and War, Republican Party, American Enterprise Institute, Starbucks Corp.

English language too taxing for many Republicans
Republicans blame the English language for foiling their attempts to regain power. Yes — English! Of all tongues spoken in Babel, English is the richest in idiom, precision and subtlety. The language of the Bard and of Abraham Lincoln fell short...Tags: Ted Cruz, Abraham Lincoln, Same-Sex Marriage, The New York Times, Republican Party

McManus: Fiscal crisis? What crisis?
Here's what is most maddening about the "Perils of Pauline" fiscal crises that President Obama and Congress have led us into during the last year: Both sides have known from the beginning what the final deals would look like, but neither side has been...

Never ever, ever, ever — oops
A few words to ponder as we sail toward the "fiscal cliff." Those words would be: "That was then, this is now." Strip away the false piety and legalistic hair splitting offered by Republican lawmakers rationalizing their decision to abandon a pledge...Tags: The Miami Herald, U.S. Congress, Elections, Justice System, Crime, Law and Justice

Marco Rubio vies for the Republican soul
Maybe, in a rare exception, being on the cover of Time won't be a jinx. Just before giving his party's official response to the State of the Union address — equal to the cover of Time as a jinxed opportunity — Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida...Tags: John Kerry, Karl Rove, Unrest, Conflicts and War, Marco Rubio, Elections

Welcome to the 'Stop Hillary Clinton' hearing
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who's the most powerful woman of them all?" No doubt about it. Not Queen Elizabeth, Angela Merkel or Oprah Winfrey. The most powerful woman on the planet is former first lady, former senator from New York, former...

Senator on the growl

Secret drone strikes simplify Obama Doctrine
For years, scholars and journalists have struggled without much success to define the Obama Doctrine — the president's foreign policy principles. As a Democratic candidate, Barack Obama couldn't even define his own doctrine as he sought to succeed...

Tony Plakas: Adults are doing a really bad job of setting a good example
Our children are watching us, now more than ever. Adults profess their commitment to lifting kids up, yet we continue to wage public culture wars that ultimately bring our children down. We are setting our examples, demonstrating our values, and...Tags: U.S. Congress, Unrest, Conflicts and War, Boy Scouts of America, Youth Organizations, Hillary Clinton

Ronald Reagan's lead on immigration

How Obama can rescue his candidacy
Here's the White House view of the current trilogy of so-called scandals: Republicans are trying to destroy President Barack Obama's second term by magnifying bureaucratic miscues and distorting policy realities. This isn't without some merit. On none...Tags: Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Crime, Law and Justice, Republican Party, U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Taxation
