Advertisement For Dean’s World: Conservatives may not like everything they find in Dean’s World, but we suspect they’ll like lots of it. Dean’s World strives to defend the liberal tradition in history, science, politics and philosophy. We run articles from an unabashedly pro-American stance, and speak often on cultural, religious, and political issues. Most of […]

What Were You Thinking On 9/11/01?: As I was perusing the Democratic Underground, I ran across a thread called “What were you thinking on 9/11/01?” Apparently there were quite a few paranoid left-wingers who were driven over the edge that day — or maybe they were always this loopy. In any case, get ready for […]

I’ve Never Heard Of Those Guys: This story doesn’t really have a point, but it was so bizarre I thought it was worth mentioning….

So The First Amendment Means There Are No Consequences For What You Say & Do?: I find this to be an odd interpretation of the First Amendment… “(New York) city violated the First Amendment rights of two firefighters and a police officer when it fired them for riding on a parade float in blackface in […]

Presidential War Lies By Frank J.: Some people are now accusing Bush of lying about WMD’s. I think he was telling the truth and they just haven’t found them yet (hint: try checking in the camel humps), but, even if it is a lie, it will probably be soon forgotten. Presidents have told lies about […]

Affirmative Action Lives On: The Supreme Court rendered its decision in the Michigan Affirmative Action case today and it was a split decision. While the SCOTUS did shoot “down a point system used by the University of Michigan’s undergraduate programs” they refused to accept the obvious, that Affirmative Action violates the, “Equal Protection Clause of […]

In My World: Attack of the Belgians By Frank J: “There’s nothing better than a game of golf, is there, Agent Smith?” “I wouldn’t know, President Bush,” Secret Service Agent Smith answered, “I’ve never played.

Nation’s School Report Card Shows Taxes Are Too Low By Scott Ott: A decline in reading skills among U.S. 12th-graders demonstrates that taxes are far too low across much of the nation, according to an unnamed spokesman for the National Education Association (NEA).

Movie Review — The Hulk: I did read a few Hulk comic books when I was a kid and I also watched the old Hulk TV show with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. So quite naturally, I was looking forward to catching the new Hulk to see what they could do with today’s special effects. […]

Triangulation, Good Politics — Bad For The Country: If I asked you what the worst thing in American politics was today, I would get a variety of answers.

The Democratic Leadership Council Quote Of The Day: RNC Research is coming up with some great stuff lately, like this devastating quote from a Democratic Leadership Council memo written on 6/16/03… “If the Bush administration was wrong about Saddam’s WMD program, so, too, was just about everybody else, including U.N. inspectors, the French, the Germans, […]

The Democrat’s Uphill Battle: George Will weighs in on the myriad of problems that the Democratic party has right now… “The contours of the political landscape are becoming increasingly inhospitable to Democrats.

If Bush ‘Misled Us’, So Did John F. Kerry: I hate to beat on John Kerry too much right now because I believe he’s unelectable, yet he has a great chance to win the Democratic nomination. However, I did want to address his latest comments… “Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said Wednesday that President Bush […]

Bill Clinton Is Every Bit As Advanced A Witch As Was Adolf Hitler: If you crossed Jim Baker with Jeff Rense, you’d come up with The Cutting Edge.

Orrin Hatch’s Online World: Orrin Hatch is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, but he doesn’t deserve to be. In fact, no one who actually believes something as ridiculous as this would get my vote in an election… “During a discussion on methods to frustrate computer users who illegally exchange music and movie files […]

Movie Review Of Bruce Almighty: I have to admit that I’m not a big Jim Carrey fan. While I don’t start looking for the exits when Carrey comes on the screen like I do with Steve Martin or Martin Lawrence, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything Carrey was in more than once. That’s why […]

USA Today Tries To Appeal To The Kook Set: RWN reader Alli Phipps pointed out a positively bizarre story in USA Today.
