Year: 2003

I got together last night in a chat room with Mike Hendrix from Cold Fury, Daniel Drezner, who is a monthly contributor to The New Republic Online & who was an unpaid foreign policy advisor for the Bush-Cheney 2000 campaign, Steve Martinovich, the editor and chief of Enter Stage Right, Bryan Preston from JunkYardBlog to […]

When Bill Clinton was elected in 1992, he promised to cut taxes. Sure he lied — big shocker there I know — but at least he was smart enough to understand that you’re going to have one heck of a tough time getting elected President if you’re promising to raise people’s taxes. Unfortunately for the […]

Nobody and I mean nobody gets the inside scoop on the war on terrorism like the Weekly World News. For example, while Fox or CNN haven’t even reported that Osama Bin Laden & Saddam have gotten married to each other, the WWN actually has a pic of the two of them together along with a […]

If you like RWN, how about supporting us by checking out some of our advertisers? The more traffic we send to them, the better value they get for their money, & the more likely they are to keep spending their money here. So how about helping me out by taking a look at… Delta Star […]

As I was reading an ABCNEWS article about Antonin Scalia, I ran across this unintentionally telling line…. “Scalia is a hero of conservatives who favor a strict adherence to the actual text of the Constitution.” Sadly, “a strict adherence to the actual text of the Constitution” will only make you a hero with conservatives, not […]

I’m sure most of you have heard about the flap over General Jerry Boykin’s comments. Here’s are some excerpts from an article in the LA Times that give you the gist of what he supposedly said… “In June of 2002, Jerry Boykin stepped to the pulpit at the First Baptist Church of Broken Arrow, Okla., […]

If ever a website cried out “lock up me in a rubber room and give me powerful psychotropic drugs until I’m sane again,” it’s my bodyweight. The entire page is a melange of bizarre claims about the timeline and the government vomited up from the recesses of a demented mind. Here are a few samples […]

An overnight poll shows that business leaders nationwide overwhelmingly support the economic stimulus plan announced yesterday by Democrat presidential candidate Wesley Clark. The vast majority of those polled agreed that Clark’s proposed repeal of the Bush tax cuts for families earning more than $200,000 annually is almost guaranteed to spark a boom in consumer spending […]

You have just got to read this unhinged editorial about neocons from Paul Craig Roberts that appeared in Newsmax of all places. Here are a few snippets from this loopy editorial…. — “Neo-Jacobins are known to Americans as “neoconservatives,” a clever euphemism behind which hides a gang of radicals who stand outside of, and opposed […]

Too much Ann Coulter is never enough! That’s why I’ve compiled the best quotes from Ann’s columns over the last year. Read and enjoy! (Cont) ***Update #1***: By the way, I found this quote from Ann to be particularly interesting… “(John) Kerry claims he is still foursquare behind disarming Saddam Hussein, but not “until we […]

To me, priority #1 of the government of the United States should be to defend our country from hostile nations and organizations that want to harm Americans. But according to these poll numbers from the latest Byron York column, the overwhelming majority of Democrats don’t agree…. “In one question, pollsters read a list of a […]

“Gen. William Boykin, do you take back your statements about God and the current fight with terrorists?” asked a reporter. “No. America is a Christian nation, and God has helped us all the way by putting Bush in office and giving us victory against the terrorists who worship a false god,” Gen. Boykin answered. “And […]

I think Dick Morris is a brilliant political tactician, but the two of us obviously have very different ideas about WHY politicians should be running for office. I think you can get a pretty good idea of what Morris thinks by reading his latest column. Here are a few excerpts from the piece that should […]

Through a friend of mine, I got an opportunity to do a mini-interview with a soldier from 2nd Brigade, First Armored Division who arrived in Baghdad in late April and left earlier this month. Because there is such a vast difference between what we’ve been hearing from the news media and from many other people […]

As regular readers of RWN are aware, I am a big fan of horror movies and so it was a given that I was going to see the remake of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. But truth be told, despite the fact this movie did 29.1 million dollars right out of the gate, I can’t recommend it […]

I ran across the following story told by Brett Stephens in an excellent Jerusalem Post article called “Meet Richard Perle” and it was so cool that I thought it deserved a wider audience…. “There’s a story told about Bush’s visit to the World Trade Center, right after the attack. He was chatting with some hard […]

The Malaysian Prime Minister said that Jews control the world. All this time I thought it was gravity, but, no, it was the Jews! When there was a big uproar against his statements, the PM said that only proved that Jews control the world. It’s good we have Malaysian Prime Ministers to figure things out […]

I love this Ann Coulter doll soooooooo much! If I had a little girl, you can bet she’d be getting this instead of Barbie this year. It would go great with the Reagan Bobblehead doll, the Bicentennial American Coloring Book, & the Bin Laden Dart Board. The Coulter doll even has 14 different quotes from […]

To get a better idea of which states will be crucial in the 2004 presidential election, I decided to see how the states voted in the last 4 elections. “R” means the state went Republican and “D” means it went for the Democrats. State 1988 1992 1996  2000 Alabama (9) R R R  R Alaska […]

I’m going to be heading out on vacation this week-end which means that the next update of RWN will be on Tuesday. As per usual when I go out of town, I’ll put up a few websites I like in the daily news section late Friday night. If I’m not going to be here, maybe […]

There are always people on the left who can’t wait to tell you sweet, sweet, lies about how wonderful socialized medicine is. But there is no free lunch folks. Not only will the money still have to be paid somehow, you’ll be forced to endure the same sort of customer service you now get at […]

Uh-oh, looks like one of those crafy Germans has got the goods of the 9/11 conspiracy! “A former cabinet minister is drawing huge crowds and stoking the fires of anti-Americanism in Germany with a book arguing that the US government mounted the Sept 11 attacks as part of a plot to win global domination.” But […]

Ah, I love it when people on the left let the faux compassionate mask slip and show people what they’re really like. Take someone named Teem for example who sent me this email…. —– From: Teem To: johnhawkins Subject: Swine “You dirty right wing piece of sh*t – you deserve an early death. We, the […]

I was reading an article about global on Reuters and a particular phrase they used to describe the Kyoto Protocol really jumped out at me. I even emphasized it so it would be easier to spot… “I don’t think a negative decision on Kyoto would be in Russia’s interest overall,” Rajendra Pachauri, the chairman of […]

In a move that critics are calling “another act of cowboy unilateralism” the Bush administration has persuaded the United Nations Security Council to approve a resolution calling for international cooperation to rebuild Iraq. Democrats in Congress immediately slammed the President for “this new go-it-alone gambit” which resulted in a 15-0 vote of the Security Council. […]

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who is considered a “moderate” in the Muslim world by the way, uncorked a rant about Jews that was as flaky as anything you’ll find on any moonbat Nazi website on the internet. Here are some of the lowlights… ”The Europeans killed 6 million Jews out of 12 million, but […]

Here are a few things I wanted to touch on that didn’t quite merit their own posts… — This Austin Bay quote is spot-on…. “Intel is never perfect and rarely certain. Those who argue it should be before acting are exemplars of Churchill’s “unwisdom.” Pathetic Neville Chamberlain waited for absolute proof of Hitler’s perfidy. He […]

Here’s a note to Michael Newdow, The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and all the other humor-impaired individuals whose time is spent obsessing on such Earth-shaking issues as the total elimination of religious references from the public venue. God just called…and he says you should get a life. Newdow, as you might recall, is the […]

Americans were murdered by Palestinian terrorists again today. It looks like a remote controlled bomb “killed three American security personnel and injured one”. But what were Americans doing in the Gaza strip? It was a diplomatic mission and the “convoy had been on their way to interview people for a scholarship in the United States […]

I was reading an editorial by left-wing columnist Harley Sorenson about a liberal cop he was talking to and these two paragraphs really jumped out at me… “(The officer) is vehemently opposed to the kind of training cops get these days, training that in essence teaches cops to shoot first and ask questions later. He […]
