STEWARD: Voodoo environomics
By H. Leighton Steward - The Washington Times
President Obama’s rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline wasn’t, as he claimed, based on science or the environment. It certainly wasn’t based on sound economic policy, either. The decision was, in fact, the product of voodoo environomics: a destructive blend of bad science based on fear-mongering and manipulated research, the bad economics of green-job fantasies and “starve the beast” energy politics.

GREEN: No Master Lock on job creation
By Anneke E. Green - The Washington Times
President Obama traveled to Milwaukee Wednesday to praise security company Master Lock for setting an example of “insourcing” and promising business leaders who re-create jobs in America that “your country will do everything we can to help you succeed.” He was jazzed about the roughly 100 union positions the Wisconsin lock-maker created in its flagship factory after shutting down some manufacturing in China.

THAYER: Preserving our nuclear deterrence
By Bradley A. Thayer - The Washington Times
Last week’s leak from the Pentagon that the United States is considering reducing its nuclear arsenal from the 1,550 re- quired by the New START to as few as 300 provokes a critical question: Is the United States tempting fate with such drastic cuts? Because President Obama frequently states that one of his major objectives is to eliminate nuclear weapons, these cuts make very little difference. Published February 17, 2012 Comments

RICHARDS and ROBISON: Currency of the Founders
By Jay W. Richards and James Robison - The Washington Times

BOOK REVIEW: 'The Bible, the School, and the Constitution'
By Gary Bauer - Special to The Washington Times

STANLEY: MSNBC blacklists Buchanan
By Timothy Stanley - The Washington Times
It's official: Pat Buchanan has been fired from MSNBC. Mr. Buchanan broke the news with a blistering column that charged liberals with "blacklisting" him from the network. He wrote, "The modus operandi of these thought police ... is to brand as racists and anti-Semites any writer who dares to venture outside the narrow corral in which they seek to confine debate. All the while prattling about their love of dissent and devotion to the First Amendment, they seek systematically to silence and censor dissent." Published February 17, 2012 Comments

By Eric Grover - The Washington Times
A stable dollar and prices are consistent with maximum sustainable job and wealth creation. However, the Fed's dual mandate to pursue full employment and price stability has given it license to meddle in the economy to boost short-term employment, with disastrous consequences.

MURDOCK: Dead will rise on Election Day
By Deroy Murdock - The Washington Times
Reports of dead voters are greatly understated.
