The Best Editorial Page you will find:

is Investor's Business Daily.  IBD combines easy-to-read common sense (no pun intended) editorials that expose the problems of Big Government rule and tout the benefits of Free Markets.  A sample of this weeks' editorials?

Regulation:  Nobody should be fooled by President Obama's latest effort to appear business-friendly by trimming a few old federal regulations. This is still the most pro-regulation, anti-business administration in decades.

Immigration:  In a victory for states' rights, the Supreme Court has upheld the state law requiring businesses to verify immigration status of employees and revoking their business licenses if they knowingly hire illegal aliens.

CorruptionHow is it that a GOP politico can get drummed out of the Senate for bathroom acts while Rep. Barney Frank merits not even a flicker of censure for economically disastrous cronyism? When will the double standard end?

Courage:  Someone who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for actually doing something just snubbed someone who won it for nothing. But Lech Walesa's refusal to meet President Obama is also a cry to save Poland.

Budget:  If you don't think the anti-spending fervor of the tea party is catching, just look at what happened to President Obama in the Senate on Wednesday. His budget was unanimously rejected.

National Security:  The Lone Star state's efforts to protect its citizens from the wandering hands of the federal behemoth fail as the administration says the Constitution gives it the right to touch our "junk."

Global Warming:  Alarmist academics are being forced to show their work and they don't like it. Do they fear that a web of deception will unravel if their data are made public?

Economic Policy:  In a joint op-ed with the British prime minister, President Obama admits that jobs are created by an innovative private sector. So why is he strangling ours with regulations, rules and taxes?

Change:  The president has ordered the federal vehicle fleet to be made up entirely of alternative-fuel autos by 2015. The high cost of this policy will be far out of proportion to any positive environmental impact.
