Noemie Emery: Hillary Clinton and the pain of the wrong road taken
Noemie Emery
Published: Mon, May 13, 2013
How much does former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wish she were still in the Senate? Don't ask. If she had only said "no" back when, she would now be beginning her third term in the Senate, an institutional fixture respected by many, able to say and to do what she wants. She wouldn't...

Published: Tue, May 7, 2013
It started with reports that former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra O'Connor had second thoughts on the court's decision to rule on the issue of George W. Bush v. Albert G. Gore, followed by dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Texas. Together, those events brought on a...

Noemie Emery: Beyond the fringe in the abortion debate

Published: Tue, Apr 30, 2013
In the multiple uproars over Kermit Gosnell -- whose mission-creep morphed from abortion to murder -- two key reactions have been overlooked. When the story went mainstream in mid-April, the moderate wing of the pro-choice contingent -- those who think abortion should be "safe, legal, rare"...

Noemie Emery: Kermit Gosnell means Democrats lose their 'war against women'
Noemie Emery
Published: Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Remember the "war against women" -- or rather, the war the Democrats claim to be waging against evil Republican social conservatives? It just got a lot harder for the Democrats -- who are Kermit Gosnell's latest victims -- to win. Gosnell is the Philadelphia abortion provider on trial for...

Noemie Emery: Killing babies is the ultimate progressive 'right'
Noemie Emery
Published: Tue, Apr 16, 2013
Liberals' view of rights is that they are and they ought to be ever-expanding, and so they are proving to be. First, the Declaration of Independence spoke of the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," for women (and others). Then Roe v. Wade gave them the right to abortion,...

Published: Tue, Apr 9, 2013
Nowhere in the Constitution is it written that among the qualifications one must have to hold office is to be a good father, a good husband and a faithful adherent to marital vows. This has been fortunate as, had it been otherwise, we would have missed out on a number of indispensable people...

Noemie Emery: How to understand 'evolving' politicos
Noemie Emery
Published: Tue, Apr 2, 2013
Listen carefully and you will hear the sound of politicians evolving, as one Democrat after another runs to align with the gay marriage movement, inspired by fast-moving polls. "Evolve" is what politicians do when a stance that was once a plus turns into a problem and calls for a slight change...

Published: Tue, Mar 26, 2013
"Can the GOP recover from Iraq?" asked Peggy Noonan last Friday. The answer is yes, it's doing it now. No, Iraq was not the one thing that gave us Obamacare. It caused the 2006 congressional wipeout, but in 2008, John McCain, the man more associated with the war than any one except Bush...

Noemie Emery: Excuses, excuses from the conservative wing
Noemie Emery
Published: Tue, Mar 19, 2013
At CPAC last week we noticed Rick Perry saying the Republicans lost in 2012 because their nominee wasn't conservative, which one must say was quite rich. And why was the nominee not a conservative? Perhaps because Perry failed. He came into the primaries a governor of a large state, with an...

Noemie Emery: One day in March revives a party
Noemie Emery
Published: Tue, Mar 12, 2013
Weeks from now we may realize that it was between noon and midnight on Wednesday, March 6 -- when Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., began to wind down his impromptu digression -- that the Republicans' ship finally righted itself in the water and turned around. By then, Paul had been talking for more than...
