OPINION: Rick Perry - The reluctant candidate
DENVER — Some wives don’t want their husbands to run for president — Alma Powell (Colin Powell) and Cheri Daniels (Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels). Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry doesn’t have that problem.

OPINION: Virginia isn’t for lovers; it’s for business
While the federal government continues to drown in a sea of debt, several states are reporting surpluses, thanks to policies Washington would do well to emulate.

OPINION: Self-reliance a virtue lost in modern society
If we want smaller government, we will have to pick up the slack. Helping change another life for the better may be the most satisfying work we do on Earth.

OPINION: Protect Life Act empowers women, despite Pelosi’s flawed explanation
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi sometimes sounds as if she has cast aside any attachment to reality. Responding to a bill co-authored by Rep. Joe Pitts, Pennsylvania Republican, that would prevent federal funds from going to pay for abortions under the slowly unraveling health care law critics call “Obamacare,” Pelosi said that if Republicans vote for the measure, “they will be voting to say that women can die on the floor and health care providers do not have to intervene.”

OPINION: Signs of solid recovery come from Puerto Rico
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Since the congressional supercommittee appears unable, or unwilling, to take a lesson from Indiana or Virginia — where Republican governors have made spending cuts and delivered budget surpluses without damaging the social safety net — members might wish to consider Puerto Rico and what its governor, Luis Fortuno is doing.

OPINION: Those so-called ‘terrorists’ have it in their power to oust a president
According to the website Politico, Vice President Joe Biden agreed “with a line of argument made by Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) at a two-hour, closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting” that congressional tea party members “acted like terrorists” in the way they stood against attempts to raise taxes and force spending reductions as part of the debt-ceiling deal.

OPINION: Marco Rubio rides rising tide to prominence
In my high school days before sex and environmental education and the general dumbing down of the population, memorization of some Shakespeare was expected in Miss Kauffman’s 12th-grade English class. A favorite I still recall is this line spoken by Brutus in “Julius Caesar”: “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries ...”

OPINION: Texas isn’t easy to explain, and brief visit isn’t enough to learn
The cultural and media snobs are trying to explain Texas to those who don’t know the difference between a steer and a bull. If you fall into this category, a steer has been castrated — a bull has not. I’ll leave any analogy to East and West Coast elites for you to sort out.

OPINION: Twisted logic underpins new abortion ruling
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — U.S. District Court Judge Catherine Eagles last Tuesday granted a request for a preliminary injunction that temporarily blocks a provision in North Carolina’s new abortion-restriction law that would require women seeking an abortion to view an ultrasound image of their womb within four hours of the procedure.

OPINION: Adultery has lost stigma it once had, and that’s too bad
We live in a bipolar culture. We allow ourselves to be drenched in sexual images in movies, on television and on the Internet and then defend First Amendment protection to even the most graphic of them. Then, when a politician acts out what culture promotes, we criticize him, especially if he’s conservative, branding him with the equivalent of a “scarlet letter.”

OPINION: Not a great time for the Jewish
In a season in which there is very little “peace on Earth” and even less “good will toward men,” it is a particularly tough time for Jews, who may be finding it more and more difficult to tell who their real friends are.

OPINION: ‘Stupid is the new smart’ in popular culture
A friend of mine hands me what looks like a business card. It says, “Don’t Die Stupid.” As America begins another round of voting to select the next president, or retain the current one, what we need is a stupid test. Flunk it and you shouldn’t vote.

THOMAS: Tackling rising unemployment a positive move for candidates
The Obama administration is touting the latest unemployment numbers released last week by the U.S. Department of Labor as proof its policies are working. But a closer look at the actual number of able-bodied people who are willing to work, but are not, reveals a different picture.

THOMAS: US troops must leave Afghanistan immediately
Are we to stay only until after the election so President Obama won’t be asked, “Who lost Afghanistan?” If our troops are coming out anyway and if the administration can’t define victory, or commit the resources necessary to achieve it, waiting longer only ensures more casualties.
