A nother major sporting event, another national anthem conflict. This time it wasn't some disrespectful leftist butchering "The Star Spangled Banner," then grabbing her crotch and spitting on the ground as Roseanne Barr did before a baseball game. Instead, it was American rock legend and "American Idol" judge Steven Tyler — a flag-waving conservative Republican.

Mitt Romney's campaign for the Republican presidential nomination suffered its first real setback, a resounding loss to Newt Gingrich in Saturday's South Carolina primary. The former House speaker's first victory is the latest manifestation of the trepidation GOP conservatives and Tea Party activists have for the former Massachusetts governor.

What is more certain is that the political maneuvering to deny a permit for the controversial 1,600-mile pipeline from Canadian wells to Texas refineries has an immediate, deleterious effect: It costs America thousands of jobs. The president's decision is contrary to consumer...
