9 Mar 2010 at 3:00am

Beware of Democrats Bearing Gifts (Mona Charen)
9 Mar 2010 at 3:00am
Mona Charen - The signs are all around us. Even as Barack Obama and the Democrats lower their heads and prepare to bulldoze a huge new entitlement through Congress, the results of profligate government spending are everywhere apparent. It requires a prodigious degree of ideological blindness to miss this.

In a hilarious video plug for the proposed Consumer Financial Protection Agency, the popular comedy Web site funnyordie.com gathers Saturday Night Live's famed presidential impersonators -- from Chevy Chase to Will Farrell -- to advise a slumbering Barack Obama (Fred Armisen). Dana Carvey, reprising Daddy Bush, tersely sums up the whole shebang about financial reform:
When 'reconciliation' equals leadership
by Richard Cohen
9 Mar 2010 at 12:00am
Googling to my heart's content on a recent eve, I decided to match "health care" with "ram" to see what would happen. What I got was about 9.8 million hits, some of them right on the nose and reflecting the current conservative meme that after more than a year, several votes, countless presidential speeches and having to look upon the face of Harry Reid some 10,000 times, the health-care bill is being "rammed" through Congress -- an absurdity that now has currency through sheer repetition. It is not exactly the renowned vaunted Big Lie, just a miserable little one.
'Al-Qaeda 7' smear campaign is an assault on American values
by Eugene Robinson
9 Mar 2010 at 12:00am
The word "McCarthyism" is overused, but in this case it's mild. Liz Cheney, the former vice president's ambitious daughter, has in her hand a list of Justice Department lawyers whose "values" she has the gall to question. She ought to spend the time examining her own principles, if she can find them.

In Colombia, democracy is stirred but not shaken
by Robert Kagan and Aroop Mukharji
9 Mar 2010 at 12:00am
There is plenty of pessimism about democracy these days, and autocrats seem to be on the march on every continent. So we should take note when democracy triumphs over autocratic temptations.
Selective McCarthyism
by Marc A. Thiessen
9 Mar 2010 at 12:00am
Would most Americans want to know if the Justice Department had hired a bunch of mob lawyers and put them in charge of mob cases? Or a group of drug cartel lawyers and put them in charge of drug cases? Would they want their elected representatives to find out who these lawyers were, which mob bosses and drug lords they had worked for, and what roles they were now playing at the Justice Department? Of course they would -- and rightly so.

The Emotion of Reform

OLD PREJUDICES CAN ENDURE EVEN AMONG THE YOUNG (Cynthia Tucker)
8 Mar 2010 at 5:24pm
Cynthia Tucker - WASHINGTON -- Having done my share of sneering at the younger generation over their rap music (I despise the violence and misogyny), their sartorial style ("Pants on the Ground!") and their seeming sense of entitlement (40K a year isn't enough for that first job?), I should acknowledge their continuing contributions to a culture that celebrates diversity and equality.

A bipartisan push to clean up the Supreme Court's mess
by E.J. Dionne Jr.
8 Mar 2010 at 12:00am
In a city where the phrase "bipartisan initiative" is becoming an oxymoron, the urgency of containing the damage the Supreme Court could do to our electoral system creates an opportunity for a rare convergence of interest and principle.
Will Millennials become the chump generation?
by Robert J. Samuelson
8 Mar 2010 at 12:00am
The "generation gap" endures as a staple of American political and social analysis. The notion that the special circumstances and experiences of each succeeding cohort imbue it with different perceptions, beliefs and values seems intuitively reasonable and appealing. It's also flattering. In a mass-market culture, belonging to a distinct subgroup, even if it numbers many millions, contributes to a sense of identity. In a 1969 Gallup poll, 74 percent of Americans believed in the generation gap. A poll last year found that 79 percent now do.
