Political analyst Rich Galen: "Last week Mitt Romney got skunked in South Carolina by Newt Gingrich. Over the course of five days and two debates Gingrich returned a punt, a fumble, and an interception, scored on a safety and pinned Obama deep in his own territory -- everything an opposing candidate could have done within the football metaphors of Superbowl week. Then came Florida. Big. Diverse. Expensive. Romney and his campaign righted the ship and put the big hurt on Gingrich."

Occupy Oakland lit up this weekend -- literally. Following a vicious day that included robberies, demolishing fences and rioting, and was highlighted by burning an American flag, over 400 occupiers were arrested on Saturday night.

Economist Thomas Sowell: "'The politics of personal destruction' -- as Bill Clinton called it, and as he himself practiced it -- is not the way to solve the nation's problems. ... Poisoning the well of political discourse may be one of the reasons why we see such unsatisfactory sets of candidates for political office in both parties, not only this year but in previous election years as well. ... The time is long overdue to get serious."

In honor of the crew and their families: "Today is a day for mourning ... a national loss. ... The members of the Challenger crew were pioneers. ... The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future." --Ronald Reagan

As the week wore on, we couldn't help noticing a common theme: Mitt Romney's taxes, Warren Buffett's taxes, Warren Buffett's secretary's taxes. In fact, Barack Obama built his entire State of the Union address around envy, virtually declaring it the long-lost, ultimate American value and pointing to the aforementioned supposed tax disparity as proof. The tax code is indeed a glaringly obvious problem. It pits every constituency against the rest, and Leftists are especially adept at exploiting that to wage class warfare.

On Tuesday, Barack Hussein Obama recited what I hope will be his last tele-prompted State of the Union address. There was not one solitary free market economic remedy mentioned in his entire diatribe. Every "solution" was predicated on government engineering via intervention, regulation or redistribution -- consistent with his dogmatic Democratic Socialist ideology.

You may have been watching last night's State of the Union address by president Barack Obama, asking yourself, "Haven't I heard this before?" That's because it was awfully similar to his past SOTU rhetoric. The Republican National Committee compiled a video comparing Obama's 2012 SOTU speech with past years. Check it out.

Mark Alexander: There was not ONE SINGLE free-market economic remedy mentioned in Obama's entire teleprompted rhetoric last night -- every "solution" was government engineering by way of intervention, regulation or redistribution. Obama ended his recitation asserting, "We should all want a smarter more effective government." Indeed, on this we should all agree, and to that end, work tirelessly to defeat Obama and his socialist regime.

On Monday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked by a reporter to elaborate on GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich's accusation that Barack Obama shares the same vision as Saul Alinsky, the Chicago native community organizer.

Political analyst Rich Galen: "Newt Gingrich won South Carolina. Big. If you had bet me Monday morning you would own my house, my car and my cat. I thought Romney had a lock on South Carolina. But, this last week was the best political week for a major candidate I have ever seen. It was all Newt."

Today marks the 39th anniversary of the two most tragic Supreme Court decisions in American history, Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Those decisions sparked a contentious debate between those who would deny that babies in the womb are worthy of legal protection, and those who rightly acknowledge that those babies constitute "life" as understood throughout history and affirmed in our Declaration of Independence. That right has been tragically denied to countless millions of unborn children who have been sacrificed on the altar of "choice" since 1973.

From ABC: "Newt Gingrich will defeat Mitt Romney to win today's South Carolina primary, according to ABC News. Gingrich trailed Romney by double digits just days ago. But that changed quickly after Gingrich's fiery performance in Thursday night's debate."
Or...the Leftmedia-driven polls were just wrong. The ONLY poll that matters is the one registered in voting booths.
For the record, since the defeat of Jimmy Carter, every Republican primary candidate winning South Caroline went on to the general election.

Today we mark the birth anniversary of Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson (1824-1863). Jackson died of pneumonia after being accidentally shot by his own men during the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863.

Members of the House and Senate are looking to put the brakes on new Internet anti-piracy legislation that may do more harm than good. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) bill in the House, and its Senate companion, the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA), were drawn up to prevent the theft of intellectual property over the web by foreign entities. Both bills have strong backing from Hollywood and other media companies, but there is growing concern that they go too far in enforcing their mandate.

For a week with no presidential primary contests so far -- South Carolina's is on Saturday -- this week sure saw a lot of action in the GOP field. Two governors dropped out, the frontrunner took a beating, and the challenger took the lead in a South Carolina poll while another woman went public with her grievances against that candidate. Oh, and we learned that certain Iowans can't count. Nothing like another week in politics.

On Wednesday, Barack Obama decided that the Keystone XL pipeline was a no-go, for the time being at least, essentially blaming Republicans for trying to score political points by including a provision in the American "Jobs" Act that required Obama to make a decision on Keystone within 60 days of passing.
