Opinion: Three living legends? Are you kidding?
Stay with me, because you are not going to believe this column. This month in Chicago, a show will honor three men as “living legends.” The men are Minister Louis Farrakhan, head of the Nation of Islam, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the former pastor of Barack Obama’s church, and Father Michael Pfleger, a radical left-wing Catholic priest. The men will stand together and thousands of spectators will pay to see them.March 08, 2010
Opinion: Not ready to plant ‘S’ word on president 
Radio guy Rush Limbaugh recently mocked me because I do not call President Obama a socialist. Although I asked Mr. Obama to explain his “socialistic tenets” in my last interview with him, I have not branded him with the “S” word because the label does not exactly apply to his governance thus far.

Opinion: Cautionary tale from California 
LOS ANGELES — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will leave office in November, but, unlike the Terminator, he will not be back.According to a recent Field Poll, the governor’s job approval rating stands at a paltry 27 percent; 64 percent disapprove of the job he’s doing. Also, 59 percent of Californians say Arnold will leave the state worse off than it was seven years ago, when then-Gov. Gray Davis was recalled — that is, thrown directly out of office by the voters.

Opinion: Madeline is America’s real future 
My special valentine this year is a beautiful 10-year-old girl named Madeline. She is a typical American kid confronted by a vastly different world than the one in which her parents grew up. Instead of inventing games and projects with other children, Madeline has an array of high-tech gizmos to keep her occupied.

Opinion: President should have known better 
A few months ago I wrote an article for Parade magazine about what President Obama can teach America’s kids. Basically, the piece told children that despite having no father present and a rather loopy mom, the president was able to prosper and achieve the most powerful position in the world. If young Barry Obama could overcome his rather chaotic upbringing (which included a stint in Indonesia), most American kids in difficult circumstances can do the same.

Opinion: America turning to conservatism 
Watch out, America is moving to the right and it’s happening fast. The vote in Massachusetts was an ideological earthquake whose tremors are still being felt all over the country. When a big government guy like President Obama takes to the lectern to announce that he wants to freeze some federal spending, you know hell might be freezing over as well.

Opinion: So long to the far left 
More than anything else, it was the foolishness of the far left that harpooned Martha Coakley in Massachusetts. Independents broke big for Scott Brown and his own internal polling showed that national security issues like civilian trials for al-Qaeda thugs and the president’s perceived soft approach on terrorism in general helped Brown to a smashing victory.

Opinion: Palin bashing unprecedented in U.S. media 
A phenomenon known as Sarah Palin made her debut this week as an analyst on Fox News. You should have heard the braying on our competitors CNN and MSNBC. She’s a dunce, they wailed, a conservative shill! Foaming at the mouth doesn’t begin to describe the reaction.Well, here’s my question. If you guys are so smart, how come your ratings are softer than Jell-O?

Opinion: Hume’s advice to Woods was well-meaning 
My colleague Brit Hume has aroused the ire of some secularists as well as some Buddhists by advising Tiger Woods to seek redemption through Christianity in place of his mother’s religion of Buddhism. Said Mr. Hume about Mr. Woods, “He’s said to be a Buddhist. I don’t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So my message to Tiger would be, ‘Tiger, turn your faith—turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.’ ”

Opinion: A holiday greeting card from al-Qaeda 
It was puzzling to read opinion pieces in liberal newspapers like the New York Times and Newsday lamenting the Christmas Day al-Qaeda attempt to blow up a Northwest Airlines jet. Most of the liberal press agreed: That was not a nice thing to do, and those terrorists should stop the attacks this very minute. But no actual solutions to stopping terrorism were put forth by the progressive press.

Opinion: My person of the year: John McCain 
Pity Ben Bernanke. The guy was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year and the reaction rivaled fish sticks in the enthusiasm category. Old Ben might well be the guy of 2009, but few know who he is or understand what he does. Being chairman of the Federal Reserve may have advantages, but public visibility is not among them.

Opinion: Thanks for the invite, Mr. President 
One of the good things about being a media loudmouth is that occasionally you get invited somewhere you actually want to go. This year, I was lucky enough to get an invitation to the White House media holiday party, which would have been called a Christmas party if U.S. Grant was still president.

Opinion: It’s starting to get a bit warm in here 
At the opening of the COP15 Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark last week, they showed a video where children were trapped by onrushing water. One little girl was left hanging onto a tree limb. Chicken Little had to be proud.

Opinion: So, have yourself a godless little Christmas 
Once again we are in the Christmas season, and the coal-in-your-stocking crowd is back at it. This year the American Humanist Association is putting up bus ads in selected cities that say, “No god? No problem! Be good for goodness sake.” The picture accompanying the text shows a group of young people wearing Santa hats. Ho, ho, ho.

Opinion: Will believers rally behind Manhattan Declaration? 
It took a while—we’re talking decades—but finally, some American religious leaders say they are fed up. A few days ago, a faith-based group including New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan issued a scathing indictment of secularism in the USA entitled “The Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience.”
