FRED HUTCHISON, RA ANALYST — Deism had a rapid rise to popularity and an even more rapid fall into oblivion. The rapid extinction of the once popular and politically influential Deism in the early nineteenth century is an old riddle of history -- which has now been solved by Avery Cardinal Dulles with important lessons for today...

CLIFF KINCAID — Even before formally receiving the Republican presidential nomination, Mitt Romney began his purge of conservatives from the party by trying to engineer the ouster of Todd Akin as the Republican Senate nominee in Missouri. This is in character with someone who said he didn't want to be associated with the tens of thousands of conservatives supporting Chick-fil-A and its CEO's opposition to gay marriage... (more)

TIMOTHY P. CARNEY — Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin thinks that, as a scientific matter, Jenni Maas shouldn't exist.

WASHINGTON TIMES — Whatever the case, Ms. Aitken said the Romney candidacy has generated an "an internal battle" within the movement in the Granite State. "There are people saying, 'You have to vote Romney because he is not Obama,' but then you have people saying, 'You shouldn't reward his campaign's bad behavior and his lack of conservatism -- this is how you are controlled by the two party system"...

THOMAS SOWELL — Years, and sometimes decades, pass between my visits to movie theaters. But I drove 30 miles to see the movie "2016," based on Dinesh D'Souza's best-selling book "The Roots of Obama's Rage." Where I live is so politically correct that such a movie would not even be mentioned, much less shown... (more)

RICH LOWRY — So, as you might have heard, Michael Mann of Climategate infamy is threatening to sue us. Mann is upset -- very, very upset -- with this Mark Steyn Corner post, which had the temerity to call Mann's hockey stick "fraudulent." The Steyn post was mild compared with other things that have been said about the notorious hockey stick, and, in fact, it fell considerably short of an item about Mann published elsewhere that Steyn quoted in his post...

WES VERNON, RA ANALYST — In diplomatic quarters worldwide, Barack Obama is perceived as either so weak, or ineffectual, or indifferent to America's interests, or all of the above, that our enemies have concluded they can walk all over "the world's last super-power" and get away with it... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — Ronald Reagan once said that in politics, if you're explaining, you're losing. Lately the Obama campaign has been spending more time cleaning up its messes than getting out a message. Some of the latest gaffes are just for laughs. Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.'s recent lapses -- forgetting what century he was living in and confusing Virginia with North Carolina -- became instant punch lines for late-night comedians... (more)
