COMMENTARY
Palin and the future of conservatism
I’m sure I would like Sarah Palin if I got the chance to meet her. We share many things in common. She is still married to her first spouse, as am I. She has a Down syndrome son. I have a brother with Down syndrome. We share the same faith and we both like the outdoors. She is conservative on economic and social issues, and so am I.November 20, 2009
The GOP’s no-exit strategy
WASHINGTON — Normal human beings — let’s call them real Americans — cannot understand why, 10 months after President Obama’s inauguration, Congress is still tied down in a procedural torture chamber trying to pass the health care bill Obama promised in his campaign.November 20, 2009

WASHINGTON — Calm.By Kathleen Parker , November 19, 2009
Commentary: Sexist treatment of Palin must not be tolerated
I really hate defending Sarah Palin. I mean, I don’t agree with her on anything. Seeing a woman at her level saying and doing some of the things she says and does is like nails screeching against a blackboard for me. And while she ultimately helps Democrats in any partisan contest, her brand of polarizing politics and efforts to annihilate the moderate wing of the Republican Party ultimately aren’t very good for her own party (not my problem) or the country (everyone’s problem).By Susan Estrich , November 19, 2009
Commentary: Trying any terrorist in U.S is very dangerous
The Obama administration has chosen the wrong New York venue to try five co-conspirators in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. Instead of a Manhattan courtroom less than a mile from the site of where the World Trade Center stood, the government should have chosen the Bronx Zoo, because a zoo is what will be created when this terrorist trial is held.By Cal Thomas , November 18, 2009

Commentary: No climate for a change treaty
WASHINGTON — Intelligent people agree that, absent immediate radical action regarding global warming, the human race is sunk. That is a tautology because those who do not agree are, by this definition, unintelligent. Britain’s intelligent Prime Minister Gordon Brown gives scary precision to the word “immediate.” By his reckoning, humanity now has about 30 days to save itself. He says that unless a decisive agreement is reached at the 192-nation summit on climate change that opens Dec. 7 in Copenhagen, all is lost.

Commentary: Communism’s enablers still at it
On Nov. 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall was pulled down to the consternation of leftists, who still had faith socialism could work with the right leaders, and to the delight of conservatives, who believed that socialism and communism guaranteed mutually shared poverty.

Commentary: Tea-baggers were carpetbaggers
The Tea Party wing of the Republican Party had the perfect strategy for upstate New York’s 23rd congressional district:

Commentary: What option is there for Afghan women?
BOSTON — It’s been 11 years since I looked through a photo album smuggled out of Afghanistan by a brave young woman. “This is a doctor,” she said, pointing to one picture. “This is a teacher.” It was impossible to tell one woman from another under the burqas enforced by their Taliban rulers.

Commentary: When your actions do speak louder
SAN DIEGO — Hotelier Larry Whitten should have known this much: When in New Mexico, do as the New Mexicans do.

Commentary: Not Right-Wing, but still angry for different reasons
EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J. — Tuesday’s elections were a rebuke to the right wing and a warning to Democrats.

Commentary: Disclosure being used as liberal coercion
SEATTLE — Conservatives here, a droll minority, say that under this city’s quota system, when a conservative enters the city, one already here is required to leave. They also say Washington is actually two states: There is what you can see from atop this city’s Space Needle — meaning, this liberal city — and there is everything else, extending to the Oregon, Idaho and Canadian borders.

Commentary: In Dallas, watch your language
SAN DIEGO — What’s next? A resurgence of segregated swimming pools, where they only let Mexican-Americans swim on Fridays because they drain the pool on Saturdays? A return to segregated movie theaters?
