Year: 2004

Sadly, “(r)etired Gen. John Shalikashvili, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and now an adviser to Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry, has been hospitalized in Washington state after a severe stroke, Pentagon officials said Monday.” Now most people, whatever their political persuasion might be, would be sorry to hear that Mr. Shalikashvili […]

One of the first names that comes to mind, perhaps THE first name that comes to mind, when you talk about liberals in the United State Senate, is Teddy Kennedy. And largely because of that liberalism — although leaving Mary Jo Kopechne to die certainly doesn’t help — Ted Kennedy would be defeated as badly […]

After the John Kerry campaign trotted out the lawyers (big surprise there) in an attempt to shut-up the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, they’ve fired back at Kerry with a devastating attack on his record in Vietnam. Here are a few of the key charges the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth have made against John […]

Oh great. A nutjob, racist, crank named James Hart managed to get himself on the ballot in Tennessee’s 8th District. He’s running in a district that has been gerrymandered to make sure a Democrat is going to win, so apparently the Party didn’t realize he was a young Robert Byrd until it was too late […]

Is this the sort of “decisive leadership” in the war on terrorism that we can look forward to if John Kerry gets in the White House? “John Kerry must be frustrated in his campaign if he is armchair-quarterbacking based on cues from Michael Moore,” Giuliani said. “John Kerry is an indecisive candidate who has demonstrated […]

This has nothing to do with conservatism, but it’s really funny…. Lol… *** This graphic was created by Nick15 for a Fark photoshop thread called “The customer is always right, but usually an idiot. Photoshop the signs or notices companies wish they could post for their customers“. ***

Despite the fact that John Kerry has made his four months in Vietnam the centerpiece of his entire campaign, the mainstream media has given him a complete free pass on his time spent in Vietnam. Perhaps more importantly, the media has allowed John Kerry to gloss over his days after the war, when his disgraceful […]

Found at Yahoo… “Democratic Presidential nominee John Kerry runs past a woman as he heads toward a Vietnam-era Huey helicopter, at a Vietnam memorial as he stopped to greet supporters along route 61…” Hat tip to Henry Hanks from Croooow Blog for finding this one.

Folks — and I kid you not — I now stand accused of being part of a bizarro-world, racist, t-shirt conspiracy. It all started with this shirt, modeled by Glenn Reynolds from Instapundit. I, along with Glenn Reynolds and Frank J. from IMAO, all endorsed the shirt (The company selling the shirts, Those Shirts, is […]

To preempt the release of a new book questioning John Forbes Kerry’s account of his service in Vietnam, the Kerry-Edwards presidential campaign announced it had received the endorsement of yet another military veterans group. Viet Cong Veterans for Kerry (VCVFK), an ad hoc group of North Vietnamese soldiers who served in the early 1970s, said […]

— It’s hard for me to believe that a company like Subway would be dumb enough to do something like this… “Picture this: a gigantic cheeseburger (with tomatoes and lettuce) slamming into two high-rise buildings, as cartoon characters run from the flaming ruins. It’s clearly a takeoff on the 9/11 terror attacks on the World […]

Ah…there’s nothing like knowing that most of your readers aren’t going to agree with you even before you even start writing a post. But what the heck, I’ve never let it stop me before… “A Central Florida woman was fired from her job after eating “unclean” meat and violating a reported company policy that pork […]

If you were asked to name America’s most prominent advocate of gun control, who would it be? If there was a poll of RWN’s readers, I suspect that Mr. “Bowling For Columbine” himself, Michael Moore, would probably be chosen as the foremost enemy of the 2nd Amendment. And that is why I found this quote […]

I know there are a lot of bloggers out there who are wondering, “What in the world do I have to do to build traffic? Do I have to work for Nick Denton? Presents — do I have to give Glenn Reynolds presents? Do I have to be a well known writer like Andrew Sullivan […]

— This guy, Wesley Bono, has a unique take on the 1st Amendment… “A farmer who acknowledged spreading 3 tons of manure along the route of a gay rights parade pleaded innocent Monday, saying he was exercising his constitutional right to free speech.” Here’s a hint for farmer Bono, the First Amendment doesn’t say anything […]

A few decades ago in the US, bigots wanted to separate Americans by race because they didn’t think white people should have to be around blacks. But today, we have politically correct nebbeches at the University of Colorado at Boulder trying to split Americans by race because they’re afraid of what will happen if black […]

Democrat presidential candidate John Forbes Kerry today announced that he has retained attorney, and running mate, John Edwards to file suit against the Democrat National Committee (DNC) over injuries related to an alleged “post-convention bounce.” “We had received certain assurances from top DNC officials that this celebration of my client’s nomination would result in a […]

Writer Michael Mandelbaum has produced a column called, “Why America hates (soccer)“. Mandelbaum speculates that Americans dislike “footie” because… — Baseball, basketball, & football are already popular here — it’s so similar to BASKETBALL (that’s simply a bizarre argument) — the games end in draws too often. Of course, this ignores the “elephant in the […]

Who gave the Democrats a national convention? Well, before their crazy ideas can spread too far, I sent my crack research team to find all they can about the dreaded Crat’s of Dem. FUN FACTS ABOUT DEMOCRATS * Democrats chose the donkey as their symbol because the Democrat base smells as bad as one and […]

— Since I was a big fan of M. Night Shyamalan’s “Signs,” I was looking forward to seeing “The Village” this week-end. So was it another world beating “Signs” or a good, but not great movie like “Unbreakable”? Well, unfortunately, while the movie wasn’t a stinker, it was kind of slow and I had basically […]

Bush strategist Matthew Dowd predicted Kerry would get a 15 point bounce from the convention. Terry McAuliffe predicted an 8-10 point bounce. But, at the last RWN blogger symposium, we didn’t expect to see Kerry get that sort of bump… “John Hawkins: So Matthew Dowd with the Bush campaign predicted Kerry will get a 15 […]

I recently finished Thomas Sowell’s magnificent book, “The Vision of the Anointed” and I’d give it my highest recommendation. After you take a look at these quotes that I prepared, go out, buy the book, and read it ASAP. It will have a really help you understand how liberals think…(Cont)

Many conservatives, myself included, would probably be accused of anti-intellectualism because we, like William F. Buckley, “would rather be governed by the first 300 names in the Boston telephone book than by the faculty of Harvard University”. However, I believe the term “anti-intellectualism” is a misnomer. Conservatives aren’t hostile to intellectuals per se, many of […]

Players Chug Beer at References to Military Service Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry’s acceptance speech at the Democratic national convention last night inspired Democrats nationwide and a popular drinking game, with revelers taking pulls from their beers every time Mr. Kerry referred to his military service. Donny Timlin, a frequent patron at the T.G.I. […]

A running theme that a lot of liberals love to hit on is how stupid most of the American people are compared to left-wingers. Yes, many of the same intellectual powerhouses who believe we invaded Afghanistan for oil, went to Iraq so “Bush could git revenge fur his daddy”, and think Communism could work if […]

As I turned off Adam Sandler’s “50 First Dates” and turned to John Kerry blabbing about “trees being cathedrals”, his dad, and his “pride in freedom”….I pondered the reported 55 minute length of Kerry’s speech and was tempted to go back to the movie. But, I plodded on and did my duty as a blogger […]

Here’s an excerpt from a column in Esquire, “The Case for George W. Bush,” which was written by Tom Junod who comes across at least as someone who leans to the left & doesn’t like W very much, but just can’t help asking the obvious question, “What if he’s right and we’re wrong”… “Still, I […]
