Year: 2005

Question: “Where do you think you would be without politics?” — Schwartzenheimer2 Answer: Before I started RWN, I ran a humor blog/zine called Brass Knuckles Webzine that pulled around 2000 daily uniques per day. If not for RWN, I would have stayed with it and hopefully improved those numbers Question: “I notice that you haven’t […]

Question: “Dear John, I have a heart for the Iranian people who want their freedom from those mullahs. I also do not want Iran to be able to complete their nuclear weapon, if they haven’t already. If we attack Iran, we lose the support of the people I care about, because they are patriots also. […]

Question: “Many conservatives will consistently rank the Bible #1 in their list of favorite books, with Atlas Shrugged being #2. I have always found this curious, as these books seem to me to have messages and themes that are diametrically opposed to one another. In other words, I don’t think Christ and John Galt would […]

Question: “John, in all seriousness, do you think your site, www.rightwingnews1.wpenginepowered.com, helps your cause?” — CWSCHNEIDER Answer: No, I don’t. That’s why I get up and blog every day, because I think it’s hurting the conservative cause. You see, nothing hurts conservatives more than explaining our ideas, pointing out liberal bias in the media, and […]

Question: “I have been hearing about the decline of the MSM in various blogs for months. However the rumor of it’s impending demise seems to be greatly exaggerated in view of the furor created by the New York Times wire tap stories. They still set the agenda about what is news. How much longer do […]

Your question can be about politics, ideology, history, blogging, RWN, from a liberal, conservative, or libertarian perspective; heck, it […]

It’s almost time for The 4th Annual “20 Most Annoying Liberals of 2005”. If you’d like to suggest liberals who should be included, please post them in the comments along with what they’ve done in 2005 that merits them receiving a slot. For inspiration, here are the last 3 years of “Most Annoying Liberals” lists. […]

Here’s a fun website (if by fun, you mean annoying, infuriating, and outrageously moronic): Citizens Against The Troops. Here are a few quotes from the front page of the website: “Above are people from Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, protesting at a dead scumbag’s funeral earlier this year. They are heroes, and make a […]

Home Media Networks did a poll in Britain on the most missed TV series. Here’s what the Brits came up with: 1. Star Trek 2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer 3. Friends 4. Fawlty Towers 5. Blake’s 7 6. The X-Files 7. Babylon 5 8. Stargate* 9. Seinfeld 10. The A-Team * Stargate is still in […]

The blogs are abuzz with this story: December 28, 2005—Sixty-four percent (64%) of Americans believe the National Security Agency (NSA) should be allowed to intercept telephone conversations between terrorism suspects in other countries and people living in the United States. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 23% disagree. This is good news. The country […]

“I’ll tell you something wonderful I learned from practicing law. Lawyers are burdened with tremendous responsibility, and the consequences for screwing up can be draconian. So you have to watch yourself constantly. Living with that kind of responsibility taught me the following lesson: in this life, when something goes wrong, you should always look for […]

Kathleen Parker, the foxy and talented columnist, normally does good work. However, for whatever reason, she has a real bee in her bonnet about the blogosphere. Back in February of this year, she wrote a nasty little piece about the blogosphere which, among other things, said that bloggers “can become a cyber-mob that acts, as […]

Sometimes, even in today’s polarized political environment, the petty vindictiveness of Republican hating liberals can be surprising. For example, take what’s being done to Dome Village, a homeless shelter in LA…wait, more accurately…look at why Dome Village is going to have to change locations. From an email/press release* received by RWN, which was written by […]

Unfortunately, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve developed a flaw common to many older people: there’s nothing I want for Christmas. You all know what I mean. All of us have had a conversation like this with one of our relatives: You: So what do you want for Christmas? Older Relative: Don’t get me anything. There’s […]

One of the proposals nearest and dearest to the hearts of Republicans who are soft on illegal immigrants is a guest worker program. In their view, it solves all of our problems with illegals in one fell swoop. We bring all of the illegals into the system by giving them guest worker status and since […]

Here are RWN’s top referrers for 2005. Feel free to go check a few of these blogs out. After all, it’s only fair to send them a little traffic back for helping out RWN so much. Also, as a point of comparison — and because I’m a statistics junky — you can see the comparable […]

The Bush Junta has long used the so-called “War on Terror” as an excuse to incite fear and erode our civil liberties. But now shocking new evidence has come to light that suggests Bush may have been defending us against “terrorist attacks” much sooner than we would like to believe – at least before receiving […]

Ohhhkay, here I am to guest-blog finally. I’ve had a busy day and then a tiny little login problem, which all of my fellow guest-bloggers and John were able to help me fix quickly. As I told them, I really wanted to get a word in tonight so as not to miss the opportunity to […]

This amazing flow chart makes several convincing arguments against assertions the anti-Iraq war crowd often makes regarding how things are going in post-war Iraq. Make sure to bookmark it, and pass it along to your friends so they can use it to help counter those faulty assertions often made about post-war Iraq by the usual […]

The flag never left Jim Cathey. From the moment his body departed Iraq, the sturdy, heavyweight cotton flag remained nearby, following him from the desert to Dover Air Force Base, Del., where a mortuary affairs team received his body. According to the Department of Defense, Cathey was killed in Al Karmah, Iraq, on Aug. 21. […]

My fellow Americans, we’re now in Week 3 of the latest series of national nightmares brought to you courtesy of the NY Times (how else would we know we’re in the midst of a national nightmare?). And no, I’m not talking about that national nightmare. Thankfully, the horrific rampage of that Aryan-looking symbol of the […]

First, many thanks to John for inviting me to guest blog here at RWN. It’s an honor. Via the AP this morning, we have a story out of Rocksboro, NC in which a reporter from the Associated Press writes about the so-called “African-American holiday” Kwanzaa by way of an interview with Bill Nesmith, who is […]

Stanley Crouch has a great column bemonaing the tendencies of some hustlers to try to color every issue that involves minorities as a denial of civil rights. So, the transit workers strike in New York City that inconvenienced black and white New Yorkers alike so that workers with cushy benefits could strike for even better […]

Thank you to John for this opportunity to guest-blog on his page. John was one of the first to pay any notice to my blog and I’ve always appreciated his support as well as his own “Right Wing’ take on the news. Davids Medienkritik, who blogs about the German press, links to this interview on […]

Ah Liberals. Can’t live with them, can’t trust them with national security. They make such noise about loving their country and civil rights and once you try to talk to them about their positions, their arguments go down like a five dollar whore. When the New York Times revealed that Bush had authorized the NSA […]
