Question: “Was Bubba’s performance on Chris Wallace’s show rehearsed or did he really go into meltdown mode? I tend to think the latter: not only was his voice quavering, but his mouth was bone dry. Listening to the audio portion of Clinton’s performance indicates that his mouth was dry to a degree typically only seen […]

Question: “Do you agree or disagree that the alternative media is failing to properly inform the American people on the War on Terror because it is being sucked into the same overly partisan mentality that has dominated the liberal MSM since the 2000 election? Talk radio and the blogosphere has been great at calling out […]

Question: “Why would a southerner put Sherman on his list (of Greatest Americans)? I assume Hawkins is from the South?” — libliever Answer: First of all, I am from the South. I was born, raised, and live in North Carolina today. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate talented generals on both sides of the […]

Domestic Senate OKs Detainee Interrogation Bill Secure Fence Act to Pass Senate George Bush: “Five Years After 9/11, The Worst Attack On The American Homeland In Our History, Democrats Offer Nothing But Criticism And Obstruction And Endless Second-Guessing.

Today is be Q&A Friday #50 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, […]

Out of all the titans in American history — Presidents and generals, inventors and entrepreneurs, reformers and revolutionaries — have you ever wondered who the best of the best were? Well, RWN decided, for the first time in more than 3 years, to email more than 225 right-of-center bloggers to get their opinions. Representatives from […]

The Wall Street Journal did a piece on blogs that have run — or refused to run — the “Letter To A Christian Nation,” ad that I wrote about last week. Unfortunately, the article is behind the WSJ’s subscription wall, but here’s the part that mentions Right Wing News: “Episcopal Life, the official monthly newspaper […]

The reaction over at the Democratic Underground to this quote is just priceless: Speaking to reporters, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said “we have taken impeachment off the table.” Most of the responses seemed to alternate between people that were outraged that Pelosi is ruling out impeachment and people who believe she’s lying through […]

Here’s a lefty website that seems to be calling for a coup on October 5th. Here are some of the details (emphasis mine): “The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come. We must act now; the future is in the balance. Millions […]

Today, I was fortunate to get in on a teleconference with Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert. On the other hand, it was a live meeting in a noisy room and I was on a speaker phone, so I had a lot of trouble hearing what he had to say. However, here’s the gist of […]

Democrats have been coming out of the woodwork to make dubious accusations that George Allen used the N-Word and unfortunately, those are difficult charges to fend off. After all, how do you prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you didn’t say something 30 years ago in a one-on-one conversation? Well now, James Webb […]

Foreign Poll: 94% Of Iraqis Have An Unfavorable View Of Al-Qaeda Opera Featuring Mohammed’s Head May Take Place After German Leader Intervenes Little Pressure On Hezbollah To Disarm Merkel Warns Against Bowing To Fear Of Muslim Violence Third Night of Ramadan Rioting in Capital of Europe Iraqi President Jalal Talabani: US Troop Presence Keeps Neighbors […]

I think more Western leaders need to take this attitude when the crazed Muslim mobs start howling for blood: “Chancellor Angela Merkel urged Germans on Wednesday not to bow to fears of Islamic violence after a Berlin opera house canceled a Mozart work over concerns some scenes could enrage Muslims and pose a security risk. […]

Keith Olbermann isn’t the most likable guy in the world, but the tone of this column in the New York Post is unneccessarily nasty: “MSNBC loudmouth Keith Olbermann flipped out when he opened his home mail yesterday. The acerbic host of “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” was terrified when he opened a suspicious-looking letter with a […]

If your son hadn’t studied quite as hard as he should have for a history test, would you hope that he flunked badly in order to, “teach him a lesson?” If you goofed off at work a few times, do you think it would make sense for your employer to fire you and hire someone […]

I’ve talked about this before, but it’s worth noting that the illegal immigration debate has gotten so hot and heavy that it has actually spawned professional wrestling characters. Last night, when I was watching TNA wrestling via TiVo, these guys had hung a dummy up in the ring that looked like Uncle Sam and they […]

“So much for strength (or newsworthiness) in numbers. Inside Wednesday’s Washington Post, reporter Michelle Boorstein covered a tiny protest inside the Hart Senate Office Building yesterday, where 35 were arrested. Last week, as many as 35,000 people protested in New York in support of Israel and against Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, featuring speakers like U.S. […]

From Ann Coulter in her book, Treason, “No matter what the evidence, liberals insist that only their tender ministrations are capable of calming murderous dictators. Negotiation and engagement are said to “work” because, after Democrats spend years dillydallying with lunatic despots who threaten America, eventually a Republican president comes in and threatens aggressive military action. […]

Earlier this month, I wrote a glowing post on a column by Aslam Abdullah in the Las-Vegas Review Journal called, “Kill Us, Too: We Are Also Americans. Radical Muslims Not Worthy Of The Religion. Well, apparently RWN wasn’t the only place to comment favorably on Abdullah’s article because a reporter from the Review Journal got […]

Today was a big day for the blogosphere, because to the best of my knowledge, it’s the first time the White House has ever invited bloggers to a signing ceremony. It was for the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act, which was pushed hard by the blogosphere, in particular the Porkbusters crowd. Over at Human […]

Anyone who reads Right Wing News regularly knows that I’m the one who got the ball rolling for Rightroots and that I support all the candidates listed there. However, there are some candidates that I’m rooting hard for that aren’t endorsed by Rightroots. One of them is Vernon Robinson, who’s from my home state of […]

The New York Times has done a hit piece on asking people to provide ID to vote, which is a simple, common sense measure that anyone who cares about the integrity of our elections should support. The Times builds the whole dishonest piece around a woman named Eva Charlene Steele: “Eva Charlene Steele, a recent […]

Of late, we’ve been hearing a lot about, “classified National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) contends that the war in Iraq has increased Islamic radicalism.“ However, there are some aspects of this issue that aren’t getting enough attention. #1) This is a classified report and leaking it is a crime. There should be people spending the next […]

“It takes 1.52 gallons of ethanol from corn to replace a gallon of gasoline. The federal government pays huge corn companies such as ADM 77 cents per 1.52 gallons in subsidies — this is opposed to the 18.4 cents per gallon tax on gasoline. Even at that, ethanol costs more than gasoline. Switching to 85% […]

Over at the wildly popular liberal blog, The Smirking Chimp, there are a couple of posts, both on the front page, that merit a closer look. First, there’s a column from Gary Vance called “How Can Any Christian Support the GOP?” Here’s a quote from that column: “Many Democratic candidates have become more open about […]

Democrats.com sent out an email to people on their mailing list and this pic, which was included, was unintentionally hilarious! A shot under the heading of, “What we can do when we get together,” is 5 liberals standing together with a bullhorn, a camera, and a couple of signs while people are studiously ignoring them […]
