Question: “Why is it that some right-wing bloggers and commentators are so pompous and lofty when it comes to Ann Coulter? She’s known for her satirical style and verbal jabs, so what’s wrong with using those techniques to make a highly valid point? Must we be such goody-two-shoe panzies all the freakin time? Jeeez.” — […]

Ann Coulter’s comment about John Murtha in the interview that I did with her has made Newsmax and Editor & Publisher although neither publication saw fit to link back to Right Wing News. Here are the comments from Newsmax, which appear to have largely been cribbed from the Editor & Publisher article: “Following the controversy […]

Question: “Over the past six years, we have seen an unprecedented amount of hatred directed at President Bush. He’s been accused of every crime and called every nasty name possible. What do you think is the cause of this? Is it really his walk, is it Florida 2000, why do they hate him so much? […]

Question: “A question to consider for Friday: Why is it with record deficits, a decaying public school system, a tax code that favors the lawyers, and rampant earmarking in congress, conservative bloggers spend their time on constitutional amendments about marriage and flag burning? Why not push for a 2 year budget cycle, or an amendment […]

Question: “I work at a large company that has had to basically completely rebuild its entire IT infrastructure to conform to Sarbanes-Oxley. (Tasks that once took less than 10 minutes to complete now can take days due to a complicated approval process geared towards accounting for every single piece of access). John, do you think […]

Question: “It’s easy to see a tide turn,” President Bush said yesterday referring to developments in Iraq. He quickly added, “Did I say those words?” June 2004: Bush on the transfer of sovereignty to the interim government: “A turning point will come in less than two weeks.” Jan. 29, 2005: Bush on the Iraqi election: […]

Question: “Why is the majority of the American populace both uniformed and lethargic when it comes to voting?” — godhasstolenmyheart Answer: 1) We live in a rich, prosperous country with a boundless number of alternative activities that people can engage in to pass the time. 2) Politics is very complex and it takes a lot […]

Today is Q&A Friday #42 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 […]

Liberals get huffy when conservatives suggest that a lot of libs just don’t support the troops. However, the honest truth is that a lot of liberals, well, just don’t support the troops. In fact, they have such loathing for our men and women in uniform that even though it hurts them politically, they still can’t […]

Earlier this afternoon, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be on a teleconference with famed Soviet dissident, Natan Sharansky. Sharansky’s primary points were that the world needs to support the dissidents in Iran and that he was concerned about the destruction of antiquities on the Temple Mount, which he compared, quite correctly […]

“If the same person who told President Bush to nominate Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court were advising him on foreign policy and we invaded the Cayman Islands instead of Iraq, I, too, would be criticizing the war. But I wouldn’t pretend that by calling for an immediate troop withdrawal, I wasn’t encouraging the Cayman […]

The libs in the mainstream media have been trying to convince the public that all is lost in Iraq, that it has nothing to do with the war on terrorism, and that our troops will never be pulled out of there if Bush has his way. It doesn’t sound as if Iraq’s National Security Adviser, […]

One of the very serious, yet seldom discussed, problems with the Senate’s illegal immigration bill is the presumption that the US Government is capable of processing 12-20 million illegal aliens, deciding whether they should be in the country legally, giving them background checks, deciding how much they owe in taxes, and determining how much Social […]

“(Keith) Olbermann has a Teflon ego. No matter how stupid he looks or how obviously wrong he is or how completely devoid of wit his copy is, he is perpetually pleased as punch with himself and convinced that the rest of the world is as moist over his brilliance as he is. It’s almost like […]

“There is no meaningful correlation between CO2 levels and Earth’s temperature over this [geologic] time frame. In fact, when CO2 levels were over ten times higher than they are now, about 450 million years ago, the planet was in the depths of the absolute coldest period in the last half billion years. On the basis […]

Have you heard about the song Hadji Girl? It’s a hilarious song sung by Joshua Belile, a marine stationed in Iraq. Unfortunately for Belile, the video of his performing the song got out there and now it has gone viral. Why unfortunately? Because the press, being the press, is trying to play it up as […]

“At the time I started my business, the Left had taught me that business and capitalism were based on exploitation: exploitation of consumers, workers, society, and the environment. I believed that “profit” was a necessary evil at best, and certainly not a desirable goal for society as a whole. However, becoming an entrepreneur completely changed […]

John Hawkins: Do you think teachers are underpaid? Ann Coulter: The good ones are, that’s why they deserve merit pay. The bad ones are overpaid. Too bad their unions don’t let us distinguish between the two. John Hawkins: Is global warming occurring and caused by mankind? Ann Coulter: The temperature of the planet has increased […]

We’ve heard a lot about why Hillary Clinton will be a strong candidate in 2008. In fact, there are whole books on the subject. However, Hillary Clinton is actually a much weaker candidate than many people seem to believe. Here’s a short, but sweet primer that may help explain why that is the case: 1. […]

You have to suspect that these two stories are related. Here’s story #1: “The Palestinian territories were in a state of near civil war, and just one act of violence, such as a high-profile assassination, could trigger mayhem, an international think-tank said yesterday. ….The think-tank, the International Crisis Group, said President Mahmoud Abbas’ determination to […]
