Obama's Real War on Women
I touched on this earlier today, but it's worth revisiting. President Obama's White House pays women less than men, yet Democrats are still holding onto their Republican "war on women" meme. My colleague Guy brought my attention to a video produced by Concerned Women For America in April detailing President Obama's war on women by reminding us of DNC adviser Hilary Rosen's attack on stay-at-

Giuliani during his “America’s mayor” phase, right after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks — when he wowed the world with his civic leadership, soaring oratory and unifying largess — the former New York mayor’s racially charged comments about President Obama might seem puzzling.

In an immigration court that nearly always says no, a lawyer’s spirit is broken
Elizabeth Matherne had been practicing immigration law for four years in the far northern suburbs of this city when a new group of people came pleading for help. A flood of Central American newcomers fleeing violence in their home countries were resettling in Atlanta, applying for asylum and jamming the six phone lines at her office.

Generation gap in the presidential race?
Democratic contenders defy stereotypes about age and point to cooperation across generations.
Generational divides in America – often marked by misconceptions – have perhaps never been sharper. Baby boomers, the popular narrative goes, think millennials are entitled. Millennials think boomers are selfish. Fingers point, stereotypes abound.
