America still a nation of values, ideals
By David Broder
July 3, 2008
Just in time for Independence Day, a conservative think tank has delivered a controversial report questioning whether America’s national identity is eroding under the pressure of population diversity and educational slackness.
Bush has dug a deep hole for the nation
By Garrison Keillor

A couple hours to kill on a humid afternoon in a small town in Massachusetts and rather than sit looking at hotel wallpaper I took a little walk.
Parents set tone on alcohol

July 2, 2008
Making the rounds of several high school graduation parties a few weeks ago, I was struck by something that perplexed me, but did not surprise me. Toddlers, tweens, teenagers, parents and grandparents milled about at the various parties, congratulating the recent graduate and his friends. Cards and gifts were stacked on multiple tables and food was plentiful.
Obama-Clinton ‘unity’ raises questions
By Cal Thomas
July 2, 2008
In keeping with his “messiah” image, Barack Obama might have been more at home in Bethlehem, Pa., than in Unity, N.H., when he and his “former” nemesis, Hillary Clinton, opened their new act on the road to mixed reviews.
Military service warrants simple respect
By Leonard Pitts Jr.
July 2, 2008
I have no idea when reverence fled these shores. That it did, however, seems obvious. What else can you conclude when the service of military men becomes a routine object of mockery and misinformation in the name of politics? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you John McCain: traitor.
N. Korea deal imperfect but positive

Country needs WWI reminders
By David Shribman
June 29, 2008
In all of the sunshine fun and seaspray of summer, the small celebration being conducted along the eastern spine of Pittsburgh on today will attract scant attention. Highway rededications are small, fleeting events. There will be speeches that soon will be forgotten, and commemorative coins, and a military jet fly-over. Then there will be a bicycle race.

June 29, 2008
The Bush administration breathed easier when the prickly and unpredictable North Korean government stuck to its script and handed over long-delayed nuclear paperwork as planned.

By George Will
June 29, 2008
Two of Thursday’s Supreme Court rulings — both decided 5-4, and with the same alignment of justices — concerned the Constitution’s first two amendments.
