WILLIAMS: What secrecy reveals

David H. Petraeus is a genuine American hero, a man of great intellect and proven integrity, which makes the four-star general's sudden resignation for adultery very curious.

WILLIAMS: A great blue wave

To put it mildly, many in the Republican Party were not pleased with the outcomes of Tuesday's elections. This represents a national repudiation of reality: We have tossed out the doctor because we don't like his prognosis. The spending addict does not want an intervention; he wants more spending, no matter what.

WILLIAMS: Now comes time for the people to decide

There's a very cute YouTube video going around the Internet of a little girl named Abigail crying because she's tired of hearing about the upcoming presidential election.

WILLIAMS: Look beyond party label to the person

On Friday night, I threw a party at one of my favorite places in Washington, the Monocle, celebrating the career of a friend, Rep. Edolphus Towns, New York Democrat, and his wife of 50 years Gwen.

WILLIAMS: Mixed U.S. signals add fuel to fires in the Mideast

In recent days, we have witnessed an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Libya that left four Americans dead, the breach of our embassy and violent protests in Egypt, and a subsequent political spat between the White House and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Mr. Romney blasted the Obama administration for taking an apologetic stance in the wake of the attacks, pointing to a statement from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo that he described as "akin to an apology."

WILLIAMS: A convention recap – from bad to worse

The conventions are finally over. This week, Congress is back in session. One would hope that that would mean it's policy time, not politics time in Washington. Unfortunately, that hope is just as vain as President Obama's hope to lower the seas. The politicking will only intensify as we get closer to Election Day.

WILLIAMS: Chick-fil-A serving up an order of freedom fries

Is there any better way to protest against today's Democratic Party than participating in private enterprise? Only if it involves free exercise of religion, the one thing that they hate more than business.

WILLIAMS: Politicizing grief

Anyone who reads my columns can tell you that it is one of my mantras that politics should take up as little space in your life as possible. If it doesn't, it's only out of necessity occasioned by bad government, something we have in surplus.

WILLIAMS: Compulsion: Final step in left’s drive to ideal society

Anyone who reads my columns has heard me say before that what unites the left is a vision of an ideal society, and what unites the right is a vision of an ideal state. The left will take or use any state necessary to get to that ideal society.

WILLIAMS: No dissent

How foolish does the media look now, after weeks of demagoguery, now that the Supreme Court has issued two huge victories for the left in one week.

WILLIAMS: Founders’ vision still alive this Independence Day if we let it be
