Question: “What do you personally think of Rick Santorum as a Presidential Candidate and do you think he would have a chance at election?” — Patton75 Answer: Personally, I like Rick Santorum and agree on a lot of issues. I even defended him when I thought some people were unfairly attacking him over his comments […]

Question: “I know there’s a fine line between partisanship and hatred, and that when Ronald Reagan died, all the Dems said nice things about him (even if they didn’t mean them). But do you think that Robert Byrd, who is a blatantly racist former member of the KKK, would deserve any respect or kind words […]

Question: “As a conservative, Christian, female college student in the teacher ed program, I’m in need of advice on how to argue the stereotype of Republicans as racist.

Question: “Do you think the United States will have bases of some sort in Iraq and or Afghanistan like they do in Germany and Japan among other places in the world?” — Sonic Answer: Yes, I do. Afghanistan is a strategic location, the people generally like us there, and we need to have a home […]

Question: “Would you consider supporting a pro-choice candidate in 2008, if that’s who the GOP ends up nominating?” — Schroman2002 Answer: While I will not back a pro-choice candidate in the primaries, I’m not going to take my ball and go home if a candidate who is not pro-life wins the nomination.

Question: “I know I shouldn’t ask this but here it goes? Where I live, near and on campus, and such, there’s a 9/11 Truth Movement. Great people too, I’ve met with them. I’m not going to say what I think happened or try to change someone’s mind. But I’m going to ask something that I […]

Michael Jackson’s pops, Joe Jackson, is playing the race card and claiming that his son is being persecuted because he’s black… “THE father of US pop star Michael Jackson told a TV interviewer child molestation charges against his son are motivated by racism. The stern patriarch of the Jackson clan – the driving force behind […]

Is there a left wing attitude against success for the Iraqi elections? Certainly they won’t be celebrating the outcome, regardless of what it may be. Their emotional investment in failure in Iraq is too deep for them to overcome. The problem isn’t that they’re opposed to peace for Iraq, it’s just an aversion to George […]

Bloggers aren’t accountable and trustworthy like the mainstream media! You mean bloggers can’t compete with the same mainstream media that gave us Jayson Blair, Stephen Glass, Jack Kelley, & the memogate scandal? Pshaw! There are unreliable bloggers and unreliable members of the media. At least where the bloggers are concerned, you usually have readers pointing […]

Hooray, Hoorah and Whoopdee-doo; Condoskeeza Rice is our new SECRETary of LIES, thanks to a few DINO cowards in congress. Frankly, I find it remarkable that she only got 13 nay votes, considering how obstructive and evasive she was during the entire comfirmation procedure. She failed to provide the desired answers to any of Joe […]

— As most of you know, Christine Gregoire defeated Dino Rossi in the Washington Governor’s race by 129 votes in a shady looking manual recount after losing the first two machine counts of the vote. Well, Rossi is going to court to try to get a “do-over” and this news makes his case even stronger… […]

It has now been revealed that syndicated columnist Maggie Gallagher was talking up George Bush’s marriage initiative at the same time she was being paid $21,500 by the Department of Health and Human Services for work she was doing on the program. Naturally, the comparisons to Armstrong Williams have already started, but truth be told, […]

It’s time for us in the campus reality-based community to sit down, look in the mirror, and soberly face the cold, hard facts: if we don’t start getting serious and come up with some more effective protest strategies, it literally may be months before we end the nightmare of the ChimpHitler’s Reign of Error. Case […]

It has been almost 4 months since the last time I used Alexa to rank the top 125 political websites on the net and I thought it was about time to do it again. So, if you’re looking for the most popular political websites on the internet, then today is your lucky day. Here they […]

Or so one infers from the WSJ($)’s report on tort reform in Ireland: “A new arbitration body in Dublin now reviews personal and employers’ liability claims — including motor, workplace, and other accidents but not medical malpractice cases — before they get to court. This initial process is a lawyer-free zone. Attorneys are not permitted […]

This Democratic Underground poll was just too good to pass up… The Backlash Cometh: “Poll question: What is your opinion about who is responsible for executing 9/11? I’m having a difference of opinion on what constitutes “conventional wisdom” for DUers on whether the Taliban was protecting bin Laden prior to 9/11; and whether the Taliban […]

Madman Despondent Over Royal Snub, Friends Say Associates of Saddam Hussein said today that the deposed Iraqi dictator was “hurt and confused” by Britain’s Prince Harry’s decision to go to a costume party dressed as Adolf Hitler and not as him. According to friends of the Iraqi madman, Mr. Hussein had received assurances from the […]

Funny stuff from the libs at The Stranger. Hat tip to Mickey Kaus for the link.

There’s nothing particularly conservative about the show “Family Guy;” in fact, the show is for the most part apolitical. However, it’s also outrageously funny and I thought you might enjoy some of my favorite quotes from the show. For those of you who have never seen “Family Guy,” the main characters are Peter (the Father), […]

The number of advertisers working with blogads dropped off a lot after the election, but has really started to pick back up of late. In fact, there are now a number of blogs that seem to be making enough money to eke out a living. Furthermore, because of the “open” system Blogads uses, you can […]

Some people continue to misunderstand the meaning of George Bush’s inauguration speech. Here’s an excerpt from an article in the Times Online that typifies the sort of commentary I’ve been reading from the left in particular… “PRESIDENT BUSH’S pledge to spread freedom to the darkest corners of the Earth has been greeted with scepticism at […]

The biggest name amongst the head sawing, suicide bombing, insurgents AKA terrorists AKA “the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen” if you’re a Michael Moore fan — “Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, head of the al-Qaida affiliate in Iraq” — has put out a new tape protesting Democracy in Iraq. Apparently, he says that, “democracy is based on un-Islamic beliefs […]

If you ever wanted to know why the Democratic Party is so utterly and completely useless in the war on terrorism, just read the quotation from Howard Dean at the end of this excerpt and you will understand… “Democrats from throughout the West gathered Saturday to interview candidates to lead the Democratic National Committee, including […]

Hey, how ’bout doing me a little favor…and no, it doesn’t cost any money. How about supporting my advertisers by clicking on a few of the links below? C’mon, they’re supporting RWN, how about taking a look at a few of their websites to pay them back? Puh-lease? Conservative Match Dating Service Freedom Stone Matt […]

At the Democratic Underground, someone named lebkuchen asks, “Are you proud of our troops?“ While there were of course some people who were proud of our troops, more than a few Duers….well, let’s just say they had an alternative view. As you read these comments, remember that this is the thanks our troops get for […]

While I think Dick Morris is a brilliant political operator and I was thrilled to get an interview with him, I can’t say that I agree with his thinking about Hillary Clinton’s prospects in 2008. Here’s what Dick had to say in the mini-interview I did with him… “I also do not think that any […]

Oorah! Content used with permission of Cassandra at Villainous Company (although I’m not sure if she’s the original source of the photoshop).

* Social Security is founded on the principle, that, because some people won’t save for retirement, all must be punished. * The deduction from each paycheck for Social Security is listed as FICA or Med or some such crap. The reason they don’t call the deduction “Money we’re stealing for the so-called Social Security” is […]
