CLIFF KINCAID — As 2013 comes to a close, two important developments have the potential to turn the tide against Obama's "fundamental transformation" of the United States. First is the public rejection of the so-called "Affordable Care Act" due to its cancellation of health care plans for millions of Americans.

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — I'm not big on bipartisanship. Too often for conservatives in Washington, it's a euphemism for surrender, or at least the indulgence of ever-expanding government.

Because a political community's most important decisions are the ones made about its defense, it is essential that there be broad public buy-in. Compromise is essential.... (more)

December 21, 2013
WALL STREET JOURNAL — It seems Nancy Pelosi was wrong when she said "we have to pass" ObamaCare to "find out what's in it." No one may ever know because the White House keeps treating the Affordable Care Act's text as a mere suggestion subject to day-to-day revision. Its latest political retrofit is the most brazen: President Obama is partly suspending the individual mandate.... (more)
