Year: 2005

“In a few years’ time, they’ll have it down pat — just like they have with Eastern Europe. Oh, the Soviet bloc [the Middle East thugocracies] was bound to collapse anyway. Nothing to do with that simpleton Ronnie Raygun [Chimpy Bushitler]. In fact, all Raygun [Chimpy] did was delay the inevitable with his ridiculous arms […]

Iowahawk Special Commentary by Aaron Headley MoveOn.org Special Deputy Assistant for Grassroots Direct E-Marketing Do you feel what’s in the air? Whether you’re a protester in the streets of Beirut, or a grassroots American citizen activist speaking your mind on the SmirkyVonChimpHitler.com UBB forum, you can’t escape it — that unmistakeable stirring of something new, […]

I had the distinct privilege of doing my 2nd interview via email with Michelle Malkin. If you’ve been living under a rock for the last few years and haven’t heard of Malkin, she has a syndicated column, a controversial (and excellent) book that stirred up a lot of controversy (In Defense of Internment), and she […]

It has been fun, but that’s all for today! Hope you enjoyed the 12th Q&A Friday…

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t have a particularly high opinion of the folks over at the Daily Kos, but I never fully realized what a group of sewer trawling scumbags they really were until I read this post from DavidNYC. After getting angry at Greenspan for taking positions he doesn’t like, […]

Question: “Have you had any job offers from the written media? And would you ever consider becoming a journalist / columnist if someone like national review, or the weekly standard made you a pitch?” — Chairman_Mao “Lastly, what methods are you currently considering for making RWN self-supporting? As I said in the blogad poll, I […]

Question: “Recent reports by the good ol’ UN state that by 2050, the world’s population will be about 9.1 billion, with more citizens living in India than in China. The question is, should we really instead be looking towards India as our eventual competitor instead of China, and if not, why not? And in that […]

Question: “The democratic revolution is unfolding all over the world. Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iraq, now Lebanon. What regime do you think is next to fold, and how long do you think it will take for the entire Middle East to face transparent democratic elections? I vote Syria, before the year ends. And that’s being conservative! If […]

Question: “Great site and a great opportunity to ask a question I’ve always wondered about. Why is it that so many conservative Christian republicans cite the Washington Times when it is owned by Sun Myung Moon, a definate non-Christian with questionable veracity? Everytime I hear Rush (I haven’t listened to him in a while) or […]

Question: “What the hell in Vince McMahon thinking. The WWE is in horrible shape, he doesn’t even talk to “The Rock” about renewing his contract. HHH and JBL are the champions, both are the worst champs and heels in a long time. WWE has done away with the high spots that used to draw viewer […]

Question: Is America polarized as red state / blue state diagrams would have us believe? Or are most Americans moderate as my PoliSci professor (an admitted Republican) would have me believe. What is the true state of the electorate? — billlava Answer: Yes and no. If you’re talking about political junkies — and if you’re […]

Question: “John: What advice do you have for conservative students who have BLATANTLY liberal prof.’s who want to “tell their prof a thing or two”? And if you have any information on the good points of Bush’s social security plan that’d rock because he’s always ranting about that. Thanks.” — LotusClown Answer: Here’s my advice […]

Question: “Hey John. First time I’ve posted a question. My grandmother from conneticut was visiting out here in California (one of the redder areas) and said with absolute belief and a straight face that the Jews control the media and “all” (I’ll accept that as meaning a significant quantity and not literally all) the money. […]

If you have five minutes, how about taking this Blogads survey? It’s not that long and having this information in hand helps blogads appeal to advertisers. Also, on question #16, if you could put in Right Wing News, it’ll enable them to trace the results back to RWN. That would be helpful.

Today is Q&A Friday #12 at RWN. So, if there’s a subject you’ve been wanting me to tackle or an issue you want to hear my opinion on, just ask your question in the comments section. Your question can be about politics, ideology, history, blogging, RWN, from a liberal, conservative, or libertarian perspective; heck, it […]

Oh, yeah, we’re REAL serious about enforcing immigration law in this country. So serious that we catch illegal aliens and then just let them go… “State police at Somerset released a vanload of 15 illegal aliens after federal immigration officials didn’t want to go out in bad weather this week. Cpl. Robert F. Johnson said […]

Among the more notable speeches at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington last month, Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) described a United Nations treaty that the Senate is attempting to ratify without a floor vote and with the blessing of the Bush administration. The UN Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) (Treaty Doc. 103-39) cedes […]

A while back, Henry Farrell offered this prediction: As political blogs become a more established part of the political landscape, they will increasingly be treated as another means of political expression, advocacy and fundraising – and the current regulatory regime will, one way or another, be extended to cover them. The only question is how […]

They may call themselves GOPInsight, but this post calling the murder of a judge’s family “good news” is abhorrent, not insightful. From Bill Pirkle at GOPInsight: “Good News – Federal Judge’s Husband and Mother Killed First I am not a cold hearted person who has no capacity for the misfortune of others. Nor do I […]

WASHINGTON, DC – In a far-reaching decision that will likely create complicated consequences for the American livestock and wedding-planning industries, the Supreme Court this morning ruled 5-4 that all US marriage dowries “must include three non-diseased oxen.” Writing for the majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy cited “the weight of the expansive penumbra surrounding the historically emerging […]

There has been a lot of talk about the “nuclear option” of late. What is the “nuclear option” you may ask? Here’s an excellent explanation from a column at the New Yorker: …“The Founding Fathers knew how to create a supermajority requirement when they wanted to,” (Orrin Hatch) told me. “They did it with amending […]

James Taranto of Best of the Web noted an incredible exchange between Jon Stewart, who’s adored on the left, and former Clinton aide Nancy Soderberg. The reason I call it an “incredible exchange” is not just because Stewart seems to be grasping and acknowledging the shockwave of freedom that Bush got started in Iraq, but […]

The United States Supreme Court yesterday proved how utterly out of touch they are, from the Constitution of the United States and the general welfare of the people. In the case of Roper, Superintendent, Potosi Correctional Center v. Simmons, the USSC ruled 5 to 4 that a murderer who kills his/her victims before the felon […]

Apparently there were some sort of protests in Lebanon yesterday. They were either all about kicking the Syrians out or keeping them in the country — whatever — just check out this hot protestor. Whatever side she’s on, I’m with her. Wow… In all seriousness, the people of Lebanon deserve the support of all Americans […]

One day after the signing of a controversial deal calling for Russia to deliver nuclear fuel to Iran, Iran’s vice president said that it only sought the fuel because it plans to build the world’s first nuclear-powered birdhouse. At a press conference in Tehran today, Vice President Gholamreza Aghazadeh showed reporters extensive plans for the […]

In the past, to inspire people to suggest new music that I might be interested in and just for entertainment’s sake, I’ve posted the music I was currently listening to on RWN. But, thanks to wonders of modern technology, I can now tell you which songs I listened to the most over the last month. […]

I’ve traded in some old PS2 games at Blockbuster and have built up some store credit and I’m looking to pick up some used PS2 games. I’m a big fan of the Ratchet and Clank games, the Wrestling games, and State of Emergency was a blast. On the other hand, I’m generally not a big […]

Regrettably, I have to disagree with Michelle Malkin, one my favorite bloggers who’s particularly in my good graces right now because she actually suggested that her readers chip in to RWN, “By the way, Hawkins is quitting his job and will be blogging professionally. If you’ve got a little extra dough, please consider sending some […]

The government is by its very nature, wasteful, inefficient, and often provides mediocre customer service compared to private industry. That’s no surprise when you consider the reams of red tape, seniority based promotions, and the lack of accountability that we see in most government programs. So what happens when your health care is socialized and […]
