NATIONAL REVIEW — At the time of his premature death, the great provocateur Andrew Breitbart was more than a year into a grinding crusade to bring attention to a little-known class-action settlement called Pigford, which had begun with plausible accusations that the U.S. Department of Agriculture had discriminated against a small number of black farmers, but which had spiraled into a billion-dollar, open-ended government kickback machine for untold thousands that showed no signs of letting up...

NEWSMAX — One of the architects of failed gun control legislation says he's bringing it back. Sen.

JOSEPH FARAH — If Sandy Hook provided the emotional impetus for the gun control hysteria that swept the nation after the school shooting massacre, the aftermath of the Boston bombing offered the sad spectacle of what happens when one presumably armed and dangerous terrorist is on the loose in a disarmed city...

MICHELLE MALKIN — Florida GOP senator Marco Rubio seems well-meaning enough. I know we both share, as second-generation conservative Americans, a common passion for this great land of opportunity.

STONE WASHINGTON — "I think particularly about ancient Rome. Very powerful. Nobody could even challenge them militarily, but what happened to them? They destroyed themselves from within.

WES VERNON, RA ANALYST — What's this? Yet another plan to "reform" government? No, it is not just another conventional idea to cure bureaucratic intransigence or reckless disregard for common sense, though John Lenczowski surely does grapple with those issues. In "Full Spectrum Diplomacy and Grand Strategy: Reforming the Structure and Culture of U.S. Foreign Policy," the author envisions a fresh new government construct... (more)
