The mainstream media and Ivy League academics, instead of helping, only make matters worse by casting everything in the usual politically correct mold: Arab terrorists are just desperate freedom fighters, and the region's one free democracy -- Israel -- is the oppressor, not least because of its alliance with America. And if Islamic extremism...

Entrepreneurship, personal responsibility, and upward mobility: These traditions are at the heart of the free enterprise system and have long been central to America's exceptional culture. In recent years, however, policymakers have dramatically weakened these traditions-by exploding the size of government, propping up their corporate cronies, and trying to reorient our system from rewarding merit to redistributing wealth.
