Year: 2003

Many people on the anti-war left are still reeling from capture of Saddam Hussein. Oh the agony of it all! They had to grit their teeth and pretend to be happy about it; as if anything that helps Bush at the polls could be a good thing! But just imagine…horror of all horrors…what if Bin […]

In a closed session today, the General Assembly of the United Nations debated the fate of captured Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. “The United Nations cannot support the death penalty under any circumstance,” said UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. “The death penalty is a cruel and barbaric punishment now used only by the most backwards of peoples. […]

Just as a little change of pace from all the news about Saddam and the wacky leftists who have been driven over the edge by his capture, I thought I’d start things out today with my favorite 100 movies of all time. 100) Tommy Boy 99) Pearl Harbor 98) Star Wars: Episode I — The […]

According to the Boston Herald, ” (PETA) will single out small children at performances of “The Nutcracker” in the next few weeks by handing out fliers… …Lisa Franzetta, a national coordinator for PETA, said the group will launch its “fur-ocious” protest at `Nutcracker’ performances in as many as 20 cities across the United States.” Oh […]

A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel has approved over-the-counter sales of the so-called ‘morning-before’ pill. Although experts disagree over how the pill works, it seems to prevent unwanted pregnancy by attacking the problem at its source in the human brain. The drug is an emergency pre-emptive contraceptive known as “Plan A”, which, when taken […]

Ok, first of all, I want you to read the three money paragraphs from this USA Today article about poll numbers in Pennsylvania, “Presidential hopeful Howard Dean is pulling ahead of the Democratic pack among Pennsylvania voters and is the only candidate to keep President Bush’s support under 50%, according to a poll released Wednesday. […]

Just for the fun of it, I decided to slap together a little contest for RWN’s readers. Yes, for the first time ever, you get to vote for the craziest statement made by a prominent lefty or Democrat in 2003. Only Americans were eligible and I tried to weed out the lesser knowns with the […]

They just keep on coming folks, one right after the other. Lefty Rob Borsellino comments on Saddam’s capture in Monday’s Des Moines Register, “Are they toying with us again, lying like they did about the weapons of mass destruction and the Iraq-9/11 connection? Can we believe them when they say it’s Saddam Hussein, or did […]

Democrat presidential candidate Howard Dean today said the capture of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein “lacks legitimacy because it was a unilateral effort by American forces.” “It’s great that Saddam Hussein was caught, but we did it all wrong and he should be released immediately,” said Mr. Dean, “This will allow him to be recaptured […]

I just wanted to give a quick thank you to Glenn Beck for sending me an autographed copy of his book. He’s not the first person to send me a free book, but no one else has actually taken the time to autograph the book before they sent it out. That’s appreciated, especially coming from […]

Do you ever wonder why there are so many crazy conspiracy theories and wacky ideas floating around on the left? Well, maybe it’s because prominent left-wingers like Michael Moore, Ted Rall, Jim Moran, Cynthia McKinney, Howard Dean, and now Jim McDermott, D-Wash keep putting them out there. Here’s what Baghdad Jim had to say about […]

Yesterday I was talking to a friend of mine about Saddam Hussein and she said in part, FOH: …I just don’t agree with being lied to in order to take (Saddam) out. John Hawkins: What lie do you think you were told? FOH: That we were in imminent danger of being destroyed by weapons of […]

Unfortunately, the Democratic Underground’s moderators have been deleting some of the crazier and/or more offensive posts on the DU of late. Of course, that makes perfect sense given that so many people on the right have been pointing out what a bunch of whack jobs they are. But don’t worry, I was still able to […]

I took a look at a number of prominent left-wing blogs so I could see what they were saying about Saddam’s Capture. Although there were a couple of exceptions, the majority of left-wing blogs I perused either didn’t mention it all or either tried to play it off as no big deal. I guess that’s […]

A decade-long, multimillion dollar effort to ‘Free Willy’ has finally succeeded. The beloved movie star killer whale, whose real name was Keiko, captured the hearts and minds of the global community as environmentalists attempted to mimic the finale of the movie by returning the captive orca to his natural environment. “We’re happy to announce that […]

As most of you know, I’m a huge fan of Victor Davis Hanson’s work. I regularly link his columns, I’ve read 3 of his books (Culture & Carnage, Ripples of Battle, The Soul of Battle, & Mexifornia) and I’ve even interviewed him. So in order to top things off, I decided to put together the […]

If you’re looking for a Christmas stocking stuffer, why not pick up one of G. Gordon Liddy’s “Stacked & Packed” calenders? You can support one of RWN’s advertisers & the G-Man while checking out a bunch of hot women handling firearms. What’s not to love?

As I was reading a snide editorial in the WAPO about Bush’s decision to cut nations that aren’t helping us in Iraq out of the prime Iraqi contracts, I ran across a couple of paragraphs that I thought were worth responding too because they’re echoed common themes we’re hearing regularly from the left. From the […]

The more exposure to the press that the “anti-war” movement gets, the more of its dark underbelly gets exposed. In this case, Davids Medienkritik alerts us to one of the new projects of the “German Peace Movement”; taking up donations to support the “resistance” in Iraq…. …The German TV news program “Panorama” uncovered some of […]

Apparently the Bush administration is focusing on Howard Dean as being the challenge in the 2004 election, so I think I should to. Instead of just using my parody skills to forward my own agenda, I thought I might try and find some real news about Howard Dean. Ends up I found out through an […]

I decided to head over to the Democratic Underground to see what team DU thought about the events of the day, when a picture of a burning flag caught my eye. It went along with an editorial entitled, “Of Bonfires, Flags, and America the Beautiful” by Max Black. This being the DU, I immediately started […]

These sort of wild claims about global warming are so pathetic that they don’t even qualify as “junk science” in my opinion… “U.N.: 150,000 deaths tied to warmer world As negotiators on a global warming pact ran into new obstacles Thursday, a U.N. agency estimated that 150,000 deaths in 2000 were tied to warmer temperatures […]

When you have perhaps the most diehard Democratic partisan on the planet, James Carville, saying this about the man who’s probably going to be his party’s nominee, you have to think the Democrats are going to be in a lot of trouble in 2004… “I told Steve McMahon, the media guy for Dean, who was […]

Here’s what I wrote about the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Bill back in June 20th, 2002 while I was slamming the idea of charging broadcasters a fee/tax to pay for free air time for politicians (by the way, these old blogger posts were never archived on the current page just in case you’re were to […]

A new study released by the Institute for Responsible Entertainment revealed today that today’s “hyper violent” video games cause teens to spend hours in a limp, slack-jawed state of simulated mayhem. Dr. Colin Jenkins, who performed the study said, “It is truly alarming… these kids spend hours playing what ammounts to a murder simulator, while […]

The majority of politicians from both the GOP and the Democratic Party are completely out of step with the American people on the illegal immigration issue. Take Tom Ridge for example. Ridge, “…told a Miami audience Tuesday that the country should legalize millions of undocumented immigrants living in the country. “The bottom line is, as […]

Our fairweather friends who were shut out of the prime contracts in Iraq have started complaining about how we’re going to spend OUR MONEY. How dare we reward nations like Poland and Australia that risked their blood and treasure to support us while penalizing nations like France and Germany that did everything they could think […]

Gabriel Ash is a columnist whose work has appeared on an eclectic melange of leftist and Islamic websites. For example, he is regularly published in the Yellow Times and has also had his work used by Common Dreams & Counterpunch. But on the other hand, his columns have also appeared at Al Jazeerah & Jihad […]

Anti-Semitism in Europe? No way, nope, couldn’t be. They just loathe the Israelis, not Jews…isn’t that basically what we keep hearing? Christmas sales of Adolf Hitler wine have reached a record high thanks to publicity generated by attempts to ban it in both Brussels and Berlin. Wine-grower Alessandro Lunardelli started selling the bottles of Hitler […]
