I’m a huge Jonah Goldberg fan and generally I agree with him on almost everything. However, his latest column, in which he advocates putting the American public under the watchful and all seeing eye of the government in the name of security, is the exception. Here’s the crux of Goldberg’s piece: “Take closed-circuit security cameras […]

Right Wing News emailed more than 200 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to send us a list of whom they considered to be their “Least Favorite People On The Right.” Representatives from 47 blogs responded. You can read their selections by clicking here.

12) John Warner: A particularly embarrassing squish since he’s from a conservative state like Virginia. 11) George Voinovich: Crybaby. 10) Michael Savage: Like Ann Coulter except with 1/2 the talent and 1/4 of the charm. 9) Arlen Specter: I’ll never forgive him for trashing Bork. 8) Pat Robertson: Stick a sock in it, big mouth!

Liberals always insist that they love America, despite their constant complaints, but they can never seem to point out exactly what it is they love about it. Whereas most Americans can simply say, “I love my country,” and leave it at that, Liberals always have to follow that statement with a “BUT…” But what? Consider […]

There’s a special congressional election in Ohio that is getting all the lefty bloggers hyped up. In this election, Republican Jean Schmidt is going toe-to-toe with loud mouthed Iraqi war vet, Paul Hackett. Hackett has called Bush a “chickenhawk,” has said that W. is the biggest threat facing the United States and has generally made […]

I’ve always felt kind of bad for Chelsea Clinton because her teenage years must have been brutal. Here she is growing up in the White House, in the spotlight, and not only is dad cheating on mom — which is traumatic in and of itself — the whole world knows about it. Plus, 1/2 the […]

Why not bomb Mecca? Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) has brought the issue to the table. The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has demanded that he apologize to Muslims, and commentators left and right have subjected him to vociferous criticism. At the same time, however, he seems to have tapped into the frustration that many […]

Back in 1995, North Korea — for reasons unfathomable to mortal men — invited World Championship Wrestling to come there and do a show. Previously, I’ve posted about Eric Bischoff’s North Korean odyssey, and in a book I recently finished, Ric Flair’s “To Be the Man,” he talked about the trip as well. Flair had […]

Leading democrats in congress have generously requested that Bush’s Supreme Court appointee meet only two simple requirements. As stated in the Constitution: 1. He must not allow idealogy to interfere with his decisions, and 2. He must be head-over-heels, red-hot, crazy-in-love with abortion. So far, Judge Roberts hasn’t been very forthcoming concerning his opinions about […]

Unfortunately, I’m feeling a bit under the weather and that means there will be no updates Thursday on Right Wing News. However, RWN will return on Friday. Sorry for the inconvenience. Until I return, feel free to use this as an open thread.

There have been several articles written of late about Mitt Romney throwing his hat in the ring for the 2008 Republican nomination and many of those pieces seem to spend an inordinate amount of time speculating on whether the fact that he’s a Mormon will play a huge role in the primaries. But while Romney […]

The Bush administration today unveiled revisions to the energy bill, currently moving through Congress, designed to decrease U.S. dependency on foreign petroleum. Under the terms of the amended legislation, the United States would “defeat the Arabs and take their oil.” Without such an amendment, the current energy bill would only slow the increase in U.S. […]

“(Dean) also said the president was partly responsible for a recent Supreme Court decision involving eminent domain. “The president and his right-wing Supreme Court think it is ‘okay’ to have the government take your house if they feel like putting a hotel where your house is,” Dean said, not mentioning that until he nominated John […]

I can’t think of a better example of left-wing moral equivalency when it comes to terrorism than this press release from Amnesty International. Armed groups opposed to the US-led multinational force and Iraq’s government are showing utter disdain for the lives of Iraqi civilians and others, continuing a pattern of war crimes and crimes against […]

In American society, soldiers are typically spoken of with reverence, especially in wartime, and rightfully so. Our troops do difficult, extremely dangerous work, far away from their families and generally they work for peanuts and love of country. Moreover, the sacrifices our troops make are extraordinarily important to our country. As Zell Miller said in […]

“In international comparisons of per-pupil expenditures, the U.S. ranks near the top of the list. According to OECD figures, the U.S. spends 78 percent more per primary school student than Germany, 58 percent more than France, 31 percent more than Japan, and 71 percent more than the U.K. But despite these large spending differentials, American […]

Tom Tancredo recently suggested bombing Mecca as a possible reaction to a nuclear attack on the United States: “Campbell: Worst case scenario, if they do have these nukes inside the borders and they were to use something like that — what would our response be?
