Three Strikes And You…Get A Letter?!??!?: I’ve been harping on Britain’s insane law enforcement policies a lot lately. They persecute people who defend their homes from criminals & they’ve stopped even investigating, “burglary, vandalism and assaults unless evidence pointing to the culprits is easily available.” All of that is bad enough, but this is just […]

The Way The War Is Viewed — Before And After: We’re getting very close to war and the voices of opposition are raising to a crescendo. France and Germany are thrusting their daggers into our back, the anti-war left is protesting, the UN inspectors are deliberately trying to put a good spin on Saddam’s non-disarmament, […]

Quote Of The Day: For those of you unfamiliar with Oriana Fallaci, she wrote a book that has been very popular in Europe called “The Rage and The Pride.” The book is in the words of the article I’m quoting from, “a passionate cry in which she accuses the West of being blind to the […]

Our Tax System — The Flatter The Better: I ran across an article by Gary Chapman in the Austin American-Statesman that I thought was worth commenting on. To begin with, Chapman tosses out some very dubious statistics about Bush’s newest tax cut that he doesn’t quote a source for. He also went to complain about […]

Rumsfeld Sorry for ‘Axis of Weasels’ Remark By Scott Ott: (2003-01-22) — U.S. Secretary Defense Donald Rumsfeld apologized today for referring to France and Germany as an “Axis of Weasels.” “I’m sorry about that Axis of Weasels remark,” said Mr. Rumsfeld. “I didn’t mean to dredge up the history France and Germany share of pathetic […]

100 Of The Most Popular Political Websites On The Net: I decided to update the “50 most popular political websites on the net” article. There are now a hundred websites listed and the article does a pretty decent job of listing the major political sites on the net with the exception of the newspapers and […]

An Interview With Phyllis Schlafly: I was honored that Phyllis Schlafly agreed to do an interview via email with RWN. Mrs. Schlafly has been a leader of the Conservative movement since way back in the sixties. She is the author and editor of 20 books, her syndicated column runs in a hundred newspapers, & her […]

Winning the Cultural War (1999) By Charlton Heston: Edward Perez sent me an email today suggesting that I add this speech to my “speech section” on RWN. After giving it a read over, I thought this speech by Charlton Heston was worthy of inclusion. Read and enjoy…

Fisking The Germans And The French In Eight Words Or Less: Ahem…here’s the link…let’s give it a go… “GERMANY will use its power as incoming president of the UN Security Council to try to head off war with Iraq by asking the chief weapons inspectors to report twice in three weeks, The Times has learnt.” […]

Doublespeak From Hillary? No Way!: I generally don’t like to compare someone to Hitler, bring up McCarthy, or invoke Orwell because the left has beaten all these comparisons into the ground. You know what I mean — there are some Dems who use “Nazi” as a synonym for Republican, who cry “McCarthyism” every time they’re […]

Don Rumsfeld’s Faux Pas: Yesterday, Rummy apologized for a remark he made on Jan 7th while disparaging Charles Rangel’s lame draft proposal after the American Legion and the Vietnam Veterans of America (among others) complained. Here’s what Rumsfeld had to say… “If you think back to when we had the draft, people were brought in […]

Robert Fisk On Pro-Government Media Bias: I was reading Robert Fisk’s latest column and of course, since it is a Fisk column, there were a half-dozen things I could have beaten Fisk worse than an Afghan refugee over. However, let’s focus on one particular claim that Fisk makes that has been echoed in other places […]

Frank Advice for the State of the Union Address By Frank J: Bush has been working on his first draft of his State of the Union address, and, since there is still about a week before he delivers it, I thought I’d give him my advice. First thing’s first, remember, it’s not the content so […]

Ready To Forget About The War On Terrorism?: There are plenty of people out there who are ready to pretend that the ‘War on Terrorism’ is essentially over. It’s been a long time since Al-Qaeda has hit the US so they don’t see them as a threat anymore. The global terrorist network? The terrorists and […]

50 Of The Most Popular Political Websites On The Net: Over the last few months here at RWN, my favorite blogs have been ranked, I’ve had other people rank their favorite blogs, and I’ve regularly listed the web pages that send me the most traffic. Today, I thought it might be interesting to see which […]

Q: Why Did The Frenchman Try To Cross The Road? A: Just To Get In The Way Of Traffic: According to the Washington Post, the French are going to try to block an Iraqi invasion at the UN… “France suggested today it would wage a major diplomatic fight, including possible use of its veto power, […]

I Have A Dream (1963): Since today is MLK day, I thought it would be a good time to post Martin Luther King’s, “I have a dream” speech. That speech is most famous for the line… “I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not […]

In My World: Stupid People No Like War By Frank J: This weekend anti-war whack-jobs took to the streets in a last push to preserve murderous regimes. “War argh gurgle oil ergh BAD!” one of the more coherent protestors was heard to say. The Whitehouse seemed unperturbed by all the demonstrations. “I think the president […]

The Best Quotes From Westerns: Europeans are fond of calling Americans cowboys. I’m not sure if they realize it or not, but that’s not exactly an insult to Americans. As a matter of fact, most Americans like Cowboys, cowboy movies, and in particular, they like cowboy movies featuring John Wayne. In fact, I like cowboys […]

British Bizarro World: Today, we’re going to learn about “Topsy Turvy land”, otherwise known as Britain! In this strange and fantastic realm, the justice system works to protect the criminals while the people the crooks are trying to victimize go to jail. Just take the case of one Tony Martin… “Tony Martin, the farmer jailed […]

The Peace Weenie Negotiating Tactic Of The Century: Even if you stuck Jimmy Carter, Kofi Annan, Nelson Mandela, and Susan Sontag in a room together, they couldn’t come up with something this mind-bendingly naive COLLECTIVELY… “President Bush forms a peace delegation and travels to the Middle East. This delegation is made up of three grandmothers, […]

Conservatives Have Been Trying To Warn America About Groups Like Hamas: Almost since 9/11, Conservatives have been pointing out that destroying al-Queda in and of itself will not stop other 9/11s from happening. Time and time again we’ve said that we have to go after the whole global network. That means not only Al-Queda, but […]

Al-Queda’s Latest Financial Venture: As per usual, the Weekly World News has scooped the mainstream press with the latest news about Al Qaeda … “Desperate Al Qaeda fighters have borrowed from a time-honored American tradition to raise money for their next cowardly assault on the U.S. — by running a camel wash service!” Al Qaeda […]

‘They’re Not Warheads, They’re Peaceheads’ By Scott Ott: (2003-01-16) — Saddam Hussein reacted to news that UN weapons inspectors had found 11 chemical warheads today by saying, “They’re not warheads. They’re peaceheads.” The Iraqi president said he was intending to launch the missiles, tipped with a “mild, mountain spring fragrance” at countries with whom Iraq […]

Blogs — The Best Of The Best: Every so often I like to give a little credit where credit’s due. So here are my favorite blogs on the net, based simply on the blogs that I enjoy reading the most… Honorable Mentions Amish Tech Support, Daily Pundit, Damianation, IMAO, Scrappleface, Sgt. Stryker’s Daily Briefing 10) […]

There’s Your Smoking Gun: Can even the anti-war crowd be delusional enough to believe that Iraq doesn’t have weapons of mass destruction after this? “U.N. weapons inspectors in Iraq on Thursday found empty warheads designed to carry chemical warfare agents, a U.N. spokesman said in Baghdad. Hiro Ueki did not elaborate on the possible significance […]
