Year: 2006

A lot of liberals absolutely despise the military and so they end up in this eternal wrestling match with themselves that pits the oozing contempt with which they regard our troops with what it’s politically advisable for them to actually say. Every so often, they lose the match and their acidic dislike of our soldiers […]

Now this is funny: If these guys were actually the sort of morons that John Kerry thinks they are, the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 34th Infantry Division couldn’t have come up with a sign that funny.

A win for the Democrats in the 2006 election would be a loss for not just the Republicans, but Americans in general. If you’re one of those who think Democratic control of Congress will only last for two years — and that the Republicans will rediscover their Conservative roots while “wandering in the wilderness” — […]

After I stepped on the left side of the blogosphere’s favorite fake “conservative” of the moment, John Cole, lefty Glenn Greenwald took great exception to it. Greenwald’s rambling and ill thought out post basically begins with the idea that of course Cole has had a heartfelt change of views because George Bush is such an […]

Right Wing News emailed more than 230 right-of-center bloggers to ask them about the 2006 election. The following 62 blogs responded. The Absurd Report, Ankle Biting Pundits (Patrick Hynes), Annika’s Journal, The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler, Argghhhh!, Barking Moonbat Early Warning System, BizzyBlog, Blue Crab Boulevard, BrothersJudd Blog, In The Bullpen, Brainster’s Blog, Captain’s Quarters, The Club […]

Ex-conservative, John Cole over at Balloon Juice, is shoveling manure as fast as he can at his former allies on the right. At one time Cole ran a reliably conservative blog, but about the time Terri Schiavo became a big issue, he got a real bee in his bonnet about religious people being allowed to […]

As you may know, John Kerry has now claimed that his comments which implied that our troops are stupid was actually part of an anti-Bush joke that went wrong. Kerry has also, unsurprisingly, used the occasion as an opportunity to attack George Bush. In other words, Kerry says the troops are stupid and when people […]

In the end, you can rack up a big body count with car bombs, suicide bombers, and by killing people who happen to be standing in line waiting for jobs or to get into stores, but you can’t win a war that way. To win a war, you need an army that can take and […]

At the Smirking Chimp website, you’ll generally find articles that range from the ridiculous to the obnoxious — at least that’s what normal people would think of them. Liberals on the other hand, seem to eat that sort of thing up judging by how popular the website has become. Still, just to give you an […]

If you ask me, this excerpt from an interview with George Soros is a little bit creepy and cold blooded, especially coming from a guy who could just as well have been a target of the Nazi death squads instead of making money off of them. Steve Kroft: And you watched lots of people get […]

A pic of Tennessee Senate Candidate Bob Corker’s daughter kissing another girl at a party has now turned up, via Wonkette. Does this fit into the McCarthesque outing campaign the left has engaged in during this campaign season? Yes. Does it also fall into the “politics of personal destruction” that the left now regularly uses […]

“You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.” — John Kerry

As usual, Bill Maher is all class. Here’s Maher in a Steve Irwin costume that he wore to a Halloween Party this week-end: If the South Park episode that tackled this subject was inappropriate, this is like inappropriate squared. Even someone as crass and insensitive as Bill Maher should know better than this. Hat tip […]

We’re one week out from the launch of the first Googlebomb, so I thought it would be a good time to take note of how effective it’s been. Here are the results so far: Googlebomb #1 on Oct 23, 2006 (35 of 45 links in the top 30) Steve Kagen #2 Zack Space #3 Phil […]

As regular readers of RWN know, I’ve been pessimistic about the GOP’s chances of holding the House. In fact, last week, I said the GOP would lose between 18-28 seats if the election were held on that day. However, the wind has finally started to shift back in the GOP’s favor. The Fence bill has […]

Way back in the day, I made fun of racist wackjob Hal Turner for speculating that 9/11 was an inside job. Well, it seems Turner has gotten back in the news again for telling his readers that “If you re-elect the same people who have gotten us into the mess we’re in, folks like me […]

Liberals love to accuse conservatives of racism, but as a general rule, liberals tend to be some of the most racially insensitive people you’ll ever come across. They’ve thrown Oreos at Michael Steele, photoshopped Joe Lieberman in blackface, called black Republicans Uncle Toms and House Slaves, and they called Marvin Stewart, a black member of […]

“…(W)ith the first baby boomers becoming eligible for Social Security in 2008 and for Medicare in 2011, the expenses of those two programs are about to increase dramatically due to demographic pressures. People are also living longer, which makes any program that provides benefits to retirees more expensive. Medicare already costs four times as much […]

“I’d never realized how much of a death cult Christianity is. When we weren’t fixating on how awesome Christ’s murder was, we were singing about how terrific it was going to be when we bite it. Chipper up, Christians! There’s a lot to live for. They’re making more of those ‘Narnia’ movies.” —

Question: Hi John, What’s your take on the signing of the Border Fence bill? Is it a baby step or is it by-and-large a result of the failure of congressional and presidential leadership? Thank You! by CliffHanger Answer: Would it have been great to see the entire House Bill signed into law? Yes. But still, […]

Earlier today, I was on a teleconference with Mike Bouchard, the Rightroots endorsed candidate for the Senate. Here are the notes (not quotes) from the teleconference: Bouchard pointed out that Stabenow wants higher taxes, more regulations, and wants to thwart tort reform. She tries to say that the economy in Michigan is Bush’s fault, but […]

Folks, we’ve got 10 days until the election and there are AT LEAST 12 Rightroots candidates that are still in the hunt: Michele Bachmann (MN-06) Mike Bouchard (MI-Sen) Max Burns (GA-12) John Gard (WI-08) Thomas Kean (NJ-Sen) David McSweeney (IL-08) Ray Meier (NY-24) Rick O’Donnell (CO-07) Peter Roskam (IL-06) Michael Steele (MD-Sen) Chris Wakim (WV-01) […]
