The Best Editorial Page you will find anywhere...

is Investor's Business Daily.  IBD publishes easy-to-read, hard hitting editorials that show the benefits of Free Markets and Capitalism.  A sampling of recent IBD editorials:

Leadership:  President Obama's defenders complain his overseas trips seem jinxed by distractions, as this weekend's Summit of the Americas was. But as presidential travels become campaign stops, shenanigans happen.

Alarmism:  Among the problems caused by climate change, we've been told, is its grave threat to polar bears. Earthjustice, for one, says the animals "are facing unprecedented threats" from global warming. Well, not exactly.

Corruption:  A new study documents that access to the White House is based on how much money is put into the president's campaign coffers. At least the Lincoln Bedroom isn't for rent — yet.

Energy:  Barack Obama has been promising a green future since before he was president. While we might one day be powered by renewable energy, there's no reason to rush it. Fossil fuels are still abundant, reliable and cheap.

The Obama Record:  When Vladimir I. Lenin sought to remake Russian society into a "proletariats' paradise," he targeted three sectors for control: health care, banking and education. Sound familiar?

Economy In two recent high-profile policy speeches, President Obama has struggled to make a case for his big-government, high-tax vision for the economy. But his comments reveal just how bankrupt his vision is.

Slower-Speed Rail:  California has always prided itself on pointing to the future. Its latest bullet-train plan points to somewhere in the 20th century, with the 19th not far behind.

Energy Policy: A Chinese oil company is now the world's top producer. While we sleep and watch pump prices rise, China, India and even Cuba seek supplies the world over, including drilling off the Florida coast.
