Year: 2006

Right Wing News received a mention in Howard Kurtz’s Washington Post column: “At Right Wing News, though, John Hawkins says: “Given Ted Kennedy’s latest comments, it seems that the Democrats aren’t just for gay marriage, they believe people who have a traditional view of marriage are bigots. “‘A vote for this amendment is a vote […]

The big election of the day yesterday was the Bilbray (R) vs. Busby (D) Brawl over who would replace Duke Cunningham in California’s 50th district. The polls had been tight all along and Cunningham’s corruption and small candidates draining support from Bilbray turned the election into a possible Democratic pick-up even though it’s a Republican […]

Liberal columnist Richard Cohen, who, judging by his latest column, seems to be an atheist, had this to say in the course of criticizing the Pope’s comments at Auschwitz: “Now, though, Benedict has actually said something. He said more or less what I did after visiting Auschwitz/Birkenau — and before that, Treblinka, and afterward, Buchenwald […]

On Monday, I was on Bruno Behrend’s Extreme Wisdom show, which is out of Illinois, for about an hour discussing third parties. It was a long, very polite discussion in which I sliced the idea of a third party into about a hundred pieces. Do be forewarned, if you’re going to hear what I have […]

— The really ironic thing about this transcript that features Matt Lauer attacking Ann Coulter for ripping on the Jersey Girls is that it proves exactly the point she was trying to make: that Democrats can’t compete on the issues, so they have to put forth tragic figures whom you’re not supposed to be able […]

“This week the US “is prepared to provide Iran with some nuclear technology if it stops enriching uranium, diplomats said Tuesday”. And if I understand correctly you’re deciding on whether or not to give Hawaii away. All this in addition to having a debate as to the extent foreigners will be able to freely enter […]

Hollywood has always ran in conflict with the values of decent, Christian Americans, with its glorification of promiscuity, vulgarity, violence, and “alternate lifestyles.” Now, the twisted left-wingers who run Hollywood have declared an open war on Middle America with a summer movie that spits in the eye of anyone who cares for his fellow man. […]

“The men of Normandy had faith that what they were doing was right, faith that they fought for all humanity, faith that a just God would grant them mercy on this beachhead or on the next. It was the deep knowledge–and pray God we have not lost it–that there is a profound, moral difference between […]

Yesterday afternoon, I did an exclusive mini-interview with RNC eCampaign Director Patrick Ruffini. What you’ll see below is an edited, partial transcript of our conversation. Enjoy! John Hawkins: Does the RNC have any sort of organized method for checking out what the blogosphere is doing on a daily basis? Patrick Ruffini: Sure! Each morning we […]

Ready to play a little game? Good. For the moment, I’m not going to tell you when this picture was taken, where I got it, whether the woman in it is famous or obscure, or any other details beyond the fact that the woman in the pic is conservative. So, can you guess who she […]

“Bible Scholars Predict an 85 Percent Probability of a Nuclear Terrorist Attack on the UN Complex in Manhattan on June 9 or 10.”

Is this another official endorsement of wife-beating from a prominent member of the “religion of peace”? Why, yes it is! “Following are excerpts from an interview with the Mufti of Egypt Dr. Ali Gum’a, which aired on Al-Risala TV on May 26, 2006: Ali Gum’a: Wife-beating is associated with the cultural status of women in […]

The Senate is poised to vote on a gay marriage amendment again and that’s a good thing, despite the regrettable fact that there won’t be enough votes to enshrine the protection of marriage in the Constitution. But, if the good guys aren’t going to win, then why have the vote? Because only by voting are […]

Just for the fun of it, I decided to put together a list of the Democratic candidates who’d have the best chance to beat a GOP nominee in 2008. This list is based purely on electability, not on the likelihood the candidate will take the nomination. 1) Mark Warner: Warner is easily the best candidate […]

The most significant congressional race that you probably haven’t heard much about occurs tomorrow: the special election to fill Duke Cunningham’s seat out in California. Normally, an election in this district, which is heavily Republican would be about as exciting as watching paint dry, but not this time, buddy. The Republican candidate, Brian Bilbray, beat […]

This sort of “Who cares?” attitude that the government takes towards enforcing our immigration laws has a lot to do with the anger and distrust so many Americans have towards the Federal government on the issue: “The southwestern border gets all the attention, but it’s staggering the number of people who come and overstay their […]

Question: “Why the hell would the feds slash anti-terrorist funding for huge cities like New York and give more to boonie towns that wouldn’t be hit in a million years?” — kmb Answer: Actually, I think Homeland Security made a made a pretty good case for cutting their funding. #1) Despite the implication that New […]

Question:“Do you think Dr. Rice will be able to make any progress with Iran and the nuclear situation or will she merely be giving them more prestige by chatting with them? Is there any chance at all of Europe taking this matter seriously?” — Anna_Venger Answer: When you’re talking about a rogue nation like Iran, […]

Question: “When we newbie small fries are blogging, how do we know what is ethical to use? If we cite the source of all facts and quotes and link to them is that good enough or are there other legalities and niceties to consider? Btw, Blogger help says they don’t support trackbacks.” — Anna_Venger Answer: […]

Question: Another question about the bill. Everybody keeps talking about the back taxes the illegals will be paying, but I don’t hear much about the earned income credit. (welfare light) These illegals are going to get refunds for every year they file back taxes. Most EIC recipients get refunds between $3000-$4000 without paying a dime […]

The left-side of the blogosphere is all atwitter about an interminably long article, by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in Rolling Stone, that posits that the vote was rigged in Ohio in 2004. It’s really nothing more than a silly conspiracy theory piece and therefore, unsurprisingly, it uses a technique commonly used by kooks: the old, […]

“Perhaps sooner or later the Democratic Party will realize that their problem with “values voters” is not that they have failed to clearly articulate their message on values issues. It is that they have succeeded in communicating their positions, loudly and clearly, despite their efforts to obfuscate near election time. The problem isn’t that conservative […]
