Year: 2005

One of the ideas that many members of the kooky left buy into is that every time a prominent Democrat dies, it’s because George Bush had him killed. If — God forbid — a Democratic Senator were killed tomorrow in a plane crash, car wreck, by a fatal disease, you name it, left-wingers across the […]

Boy howdy, I likes me them essay contests. Trouble is, I think they’re rigged. Like a couple of years ago, when the DNC had an essay contest on the theme of “Why I Am a Democrat.” Even after emailing them my entry twenty or thirty times, and after several hundred follow-up phone calls, I still […]

These advertisers spent good money with RWN and being a capitalist, I like to make sure they get their money’s worth. So, how ’bout checking out a few of the links below? It’s good for me, it’s good for RWN, heck, it’s even good for the whole blogosphere. The better advertisers do in the blogosphere, […]

Peter Schweizer is the author of several books including Reagan’s War: The Epic Story of His Forty Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism & was the Executive Producer of “In The Face Of Evil: Reagan’s War In War And Deed.” I was a huge fan of the book and the movie, would highly recommend […]

That’s it for Q&A Friday! Thanks for the great questions, it was a lot of fun. See you on Monday!

Question: “What’s your beef with Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Pat Buchanan?” — Belwar Answer: I don’t like Robertson and Falwell because both of them have really bad cases of “foot’n’mouth disease”. Every few months, one of those two goofs seems to say something that’s just astonishingly stupid, ill-thought out, and nearly impossible to defend. […]

Question: “Why is it that Republicans justify cutting programs such as education and environmental conservation under the pretext that they cost too much, and yet they cry bloody murder if anyone even suggests cutting down on the half-trillion dollar defense budget?” — Oliver Answer: Liberals advocate enormously expensive programs that achieve nothing like Kyoto on […]

Question: “1. Aside from the diplomatic measures, what do you think the administration has planned for Iran and North Korea?” — BoilerFox04 Answer: In North Korea, because we have Russia, China, South Korea, and Japan on board, I expect to see us reach a diplomatic solution. With their cooperation, we have the option of putting […]

First, bloggers dragged down Trent Lott. After that, Dan Rather was the next big name to go down under the relentless fury of the blogosphere’s assault. Well, now we can add another name to that list, because Eason Jordan has been overwhelmed by the swarm… “CNN chief news executive Eason Jordan quit Friday amidst a […]

Question: “What moderate or at least rational and intelligent Democrat blogs or writers can you suggest people read (for example, scifi writer Orson Scott Card)? I like getting the other viewpoint on things, but I don’t care to dig through the conspiracy theories, lunacy, and hate on too many of the leftwing sites.” — Christopher_Taylor […]

Question: “Here’s my question: How do you deal with friends who are unabashedly liberal? Given how… passionate they feel about some topics (Bush, Iraq), it can sometimes get a little tense.” — Jonathan (Via Email) Answer: Here’s my advice about talking politics to your liberal friends: Don’t. Liberals tend to get particularly emotional about political […]

Today is Q&A Friday #11 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 […]

Question: “Dick Morris said in an op-ed piece this week that Condi Rice was a social conservative. In many of your posts, you have said she is pro-choice and pro-affirmative action. Who is right? Where can one find her writings on these subjects?” — BlkMktBabyDealer — “I’ve been looking without much success. In 2000, George […]

Question: “What would you do with the money if you won the lottery tomorrow?” — karensp9 Answer: I don’t play the lottery so I haven’t thought about this in too much detail. However, here are my initial thoughts about what I’d do if I won a cool, tax-free $50 million in the lottery. 1) I’d […]

Remember when the environmentalists, liberals, & Euro-weenies were originally touting Kyoto back in the nineties? Back then they essentially sold it like so, “Either we all get on board with Kyoto man or it’s game over! It’s the only thing that can save us all from burning like a puppy on a hotplate, man! Do […]

Matt Yglesias demonstrates what he doesn’t understand about finance: A lot of people, including George W. Bush himself, seem unduly impressed by the fact that the trust fund does not consist of a “a pile of money being accumulated somewhere.” . . . Here in the United States . . . nobody accumulates literal piles […]

And now for a public service announcement from Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts. “Before you put your health, or the health of your loved ones, into the hands of a physician, make sure you get references, check with your state’s medical board, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. After all, there are people who […]

The left on the net is all atwitter over the “Jeff Gannon controversy”. This is a hot story on the left side of the blogosphere, Media Matters has written multiple articles about him, Salon is talking Gannon, and the DU is on fire over the story…. “JohnnyCougar (1000+ posts) Thu Feb-10-05 02:04 AM Original message […]

This telling quotation you’re about to read from Markos Moulitsas Zúniga of the Daily Kos is worth reading and analyzing because it exposes some of the underlying ideological beliefs that make today’s liberals incapable of handling foreign policy. From Kos… “Here’s the deal — a war is worth fighting if you would sacrifice everything you […]

Mark Dubbin, the author of “Shadow Patriot” bought another main page ad on RWN to get the word out about his book. Here’s the description of it from Barnes & Noble… “The events of 9/11 affected many things in New York and the Mafia was no exception. Business suffered for Don Remondini after the attack, […]

I was, am, and likely always will be a staunch opponent of the Medicare Prescription drug plan. It was an enormous boondoggle that no one who truly cared about fiscal responsibility could have supported, particularly given that we were — and are still — running an enormous deficit. Here are some of the things I […]

The comments you’re about to read came not from the Democratic Underground, IndyMedia or some other leftist wacko pit on the web, but from the Democratic Mayor of Baltimore, Martin O’Malley… “Back on September 11, terrorists attacked our metropolitan cores, two of America’s great cities. They did that because they knew that was where they […]

Spurred by CNN executive Eason Jordan’s accusations that U.S. troops have

Futurama is one of my favorite TV shows (I actually own the first 4 seasons on DVD) and I thought it would be fun to put together some of my favorite quotes from the show. Enjoy! Amazon: You will see our leader. Fry: Is she hot? Amazon: That not important. She all knowing. Fry: In […]

The story of young Devin Brown should be a cautionary tale about what happens when you fall in the wrong crowd, but is instead being used as a way to attack the police. Brown, a 13 year-old “eighth-grader at a magnet school for gifted youth,” started hanging out with gang bangers, “Friends and neighbors said […]

Thousandth verse, same as the first: SHARM EL-SHEIK, Egypt – Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas declared Tuesday that their people would stop all military or violent activity, pledging to break the four-year cycle of bloodshed and get peace talks back on track. With the flags of their countries whipping in […]

Democrats are fond of blaming their political death spiral in the South on ignorance, racism, homophobia & fundamentalist Christians who long to turn America into “Jesusland,” but there’s actually a much simpler explanation: the Democrats in the South have always been relatively moderate and the Democratic Party is run by radical liberals. This article from […]

This is on Hollywood Blvd, about 4 blocks from where the Academy Awards will be taking place =D Hat tip to Cinemocracy for the pic and Citizens United for the billboard.

The following monstrous sentiments you are about to read are from Eric Alterman’s blog on MSNBC. Alterman is commenting on the despicable boycott by many British Muslims of “(the) commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz”…. “Look, unlike[ Andrew Sullivan], I’m a Jew, but I don’t expect Arabs to pay tribute to my people’s suffering while […]

I am taking a mini-vacation and will be out of town until Monday afternoon. That means RWN will not return until Tuesday, the 8th. In the interim, I put up some great blogs you can check out in the daily news section and please, take a look at some of my advertisers. You might think […]
