The best editorial page you will find is Investor's Business Daily. IBD publishes easy-to-read common sense editorials that are simply awesome. A sampling:
Checks And Balances: Our secretary of state questions the patriotism of those criticizing the administration's Libyan policy and disregard of the War Powers Act. Remember when dissent was the highest form of patriotism?
Budget: The secretary of the Treasury says taxes must be raised on small business so the federal government can stay big. With that breathtaking statement, he helpfully mapped out the key difference between the parties.
Americas: If anyone out there still thinks Venezuela is a democracy, the silence and secrecy of Hugo Chavez's long absence for an undisclosed ailment ends that idea. It's the act of a dictator. How about treating him like one?
Economy: When President Obama claimed he created 2.1 million private-sector jobs, the first transcript had the audience responding with "laughter." That's since been changed to "applause," but the joke's on us in any case.
Political Correctness: The acquittal, on hate-speech charges, of the Dutch politician who spoke the truth about Islamofascism is a victory for freedom and free speech. The truth may yet keep us free.
Politics: With Democrats' poll numbers in the dumps, President Obama has decided to release some of the U.S. strategic petroleum reserves to cut prices at the pump. Problem is, its only real "strategic" purpose is politics.
War On Terror: Opposing our military brass once again, the president announces the pullout of 30,000 troops from Afghanistan. With complete withdrawal expected by 2014, the Taliban now know they've won the long war.

Strategic Petroleum Reserve Shenanigans: Perhaps I’m missing something here. Obama’s decision to drag the rest of the international community along with his nincompoop “solution” to high energy prices by releasing part of the petroleum reserve surely isn’t the answer. There is a much simpler way of immediately lowering prices - while keeping the reserve oil in those salt domes. Issue an “Executive Order” to allow oil exploration, drilling and production EVERYWHERE in the U.S.A. immediately, without restriction, except in the District of Columbia (it’s the seat of our government) and in military cemeteries (for respectful decorum). Then tell the obstructionists at the EPA and the Department of the Interior that they’re all on an extended leave of absence. Uncap those 4,000 wells in the Gulf of Mexico and get out of the way.
