It has been more than 3 months since the last time I ranked my favorite 40 blogs, so I thought it was about time to do it again, for the second time in 2006. Do keep in mind that as the quarter has progressed, some blogs have, of course, moved up and others have dropped, […]

Automobiles. Electricity. Indoor plumbing. Private ownership of property. Steady employment. Food. Americans have selfishly enjoyed such extravagances for decades, and the environment has suffered for it. Now, Mother Nature is beginning to strike back. Powerful hurricanes descend on the tranquil Gulf Coast region every year, so numerous that we have run out of names for […]

Up the road a ways, here in my beloved home state of North Carolina, a state-appointed commission is urging North Carolina to pay reparations for riots that happened more than a hundred years ago. Of course, that’s a completely idiotic idea, but let’s take a look at what the hand-out commission came up with anyway: […]

While reviewing Peter Beinart’s The Good Fight, prominent liberal blogger Kevin Drum, has, apparently by accident, laid out a pretty good case against trusting liberals to handle the war on terrorism. Here’s an excerpt from Drum’s review: “One of Beinart’s biggest concerns is that liberals are throwing out the baby with the bathwater when it […]

Peggy Noonan says America is ready for a third party. “Something’s happening. I have a feeling we’re at some new beginning, that a big breakup’s coming, and that though it isn’t and will not be immediately apparent, we’ll someday look back on this era as the time when a shift began. All my adult life, […]

In the past, to inspire people to suggest new music that I might be interested in and just for entertainment’s sake, I’ve posted the music I was currently listening to on RWN. Now, thanks to wonders of modern technology, I can tell you which songs I listened to the most over the last month. Here’s […]

Fark held an Al Gore photoshop contest. Here are the instructions: “Al Gore has a new movie coming out called “An Inconvenient Truth.” Photoshop some other inconvenient truths from Al Gore’s life.“ Because there are few politicians out there who are more worthy of mockery than Al Gore, I thought you might enjoy seeing the […]

Daniel Gross at Slate had this to say about birth rates: “But for developed nations, the birthrates may have dropped too far. Europe and Japan face a shortage of children that endangers pensioners and undermines economic dynamism. Even China is facing a labor shortage, thanks to its one-child policy. Can the market fix this? Extremists […]

“We’re the party that wants to see an America in which people can still get rich.” — Ronald Reagan “Behind every great fortune there is a crime.” — Honore de Balzac The two quotes you’ve just read do a great job of representing how most liberals and conservatives view the rich. Conservatives believe that America […]

At Haditha, some Marines were hit with a roadside bomb and there’s controversy about what happened next. The accusation, that may or may not be true, is that those Marines responded to the attack by deliberately murdering 24 innocent Iraqis in cold blood. Is it true? Is it not true? It’s unknown at this point […]

A man serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife is asking a federal judge to order the state to pay for a sex-change operation for him, saying that denying him the surgery amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, according to Breitbart. Let me walk you through this: The man killed someone and […]

This article covers some of the problems with the Senate’s illegal immigration bill including: –The Senate Bill Would Make It Impossible To Deport Most Illegal Aliens For Years. — Police Can’t Arrest Illegals Just For Being Illegals. — The Senate Bill Puts Amnesty Ahead Of Security. — Why Should Criminals Be Allowed To Become American […]

For a guy who loves to claim that there is a Republican, “culture of corruption,” Harry Reid sure does seem to get caught with his hand in the cookie jar a lot. First of all, he loaded up on money from clients of Jack Abramoff and unlike a lot of other politicians in the same […]

Hilariously, RNC strategist Matthew Dowd is trying to claim that Americans absolutely love the Senate’s amnesty plan and they hate the House’s plan: “Dowd’s memo says that an internal RNC poll conducted by Jan Van Louhuzen finds that “overwhelming support exists for a temporary worker program. 80% of all voters, 83% of Republicans, and 79% […]

As I write this, today feels like a day to just “vent,” so here goes… I’m sick of hearing about high gas prices. The national media is obsessed with the issue, hoping that the more stories they run about big, evil, price-gouging oil companies versus poor, victimized, SUV-driving consumers, the more the American people simultaneously […]

I’m on vacation, but I just wanted to take a moment today to say thanks to all the soldiers, past and present, who’ve made up the backbone of this country.

The Senate has voted 62 to 36, to pass an amnesty bill that rewards illegals, doesn’t secure the borders, and that may lead, over the next twenty years, to America being flooded with somewhere between 60-95 million uneducated workers (depending on whose numbers you believe). This bill won’t stop the flow of illegals, it’ll cause […]

RWN’s Answering 13 Frequently Asked Questions About Illegal Immigration column must have really stuck with Rush, because he linked it again today. He also linked the Interview With Mark Krikorian. Thanks, Rush! PS: I love the McCain graphic.

“In the United States of America, unfortunately we still live in a bubble of unreality. And the Category 5 denial is an enormous obstacle to any discussion of solutions. Nobody is interested in solutions if they don’t think there’s a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of […]

Just to give you an idea of how much work the GOP has to do, I thought I’d share some of the feedback I received yesterday — via comments and email — after writing a column that urged conservatives to vote for the GOP in 2006. As you read this, keep in mind that the […]

Undoubtedly, Nancy Pelosi’s request that William Jefferson step down from the Ways and Means Committee was politically motivated. After all, it’s hard to credibly claim that people should vote against the Republicans because they’re corrupt when one of your own party members was caught on tape taking a bribe and the money was later found […]
