One of my favorite Senators, Jim DeMint, put this article out today and his press people gave me permission to run it on Right Wing News. 1. Rewards Illegal Behavior with Clear Path to Citizenship and Voting Rights – Amnesty As noted by former Attorney General Ed Meese in the New York Times on May […]

“I don’t think Jesus would be mad at me and the message I’m trying to send.” — Madonna on her fake crucifixion Yes, I’m sure Jesus just loves it when whorish, aging pop stars try to draw attention to themselves by mocking the terrible suffering he endured when he sacrificed himself for all mankind.

“It is strange, but here’s how liberals think: If there is a strategic advantage to America taking military action against a corrupt and murderous regime, we must not do so. The mission may be justifiable on moral grounds, but the possibility that America herself will gain from taking the action taints it too much to […]

Over the last few weeks, the conservative blogosphere and punditocracy have been aiming a wave of venom at the GOP in Washington that’s so wide and deep that you could practically surf on it. The grumbling over out-of-control spending, the Gang-of-14 compromise, Harriet Miers, the Dubai Port deal, and most of all, illegal immigration, has […]

Earlier this morning, I was pleased to get an opportunity to be in on a teleconference with former Reagan Attorney General Ed Meese and Matt Spaulding from the Center For Immigration Studies. Mr. Meese has just written a column about the Senate’s immigration bill called, “An Amnesty by Any Other Name …. Keep in mind […]

Want to see what our future is if the Senate gets its way on illegal immigration? Then look at this excerpt from an MSNBC article about Germany’s guest worker program. It’s so familiar that it’s almost feels like deja vu…. “Germany is home to millions of immigrants, 3 million of whom are Muslim. The majority […]

This week-end, John McCain was heckled at a college commencement ceremony. On the one hand, if anyone in American politics deserves to be heckled, it’s John McCain. Personally, I have the urge to yell, “You suck,” at the television screen every time I see his face. But still…is a commencement ceremony a proper place for […]

Unfortunately for the Democrats, who wanted the election to be about the supposed Republican, “culture of corruption,” they’ve actually got a guy in office who’s so crooked that he makes a circle look straight. Yes, good old William Jefferson. It’s bad enough that he managed to get caught on tape taking money from an FBI […]

The defense team is leaking some of the information they got from the material turned over to them last week. If this is all true, it is amazing that the District Attorney proceded with such a terribly weak case. The woman who has accused three members of the Duke University lacrosse team of raping her […]

There are a lot of conservatives blogs upset that Google appears to be “purging” conservative websites. Here’s the Newsbusters coverage of the story: “Something frighteningly ominous has been happening on the Internet lately: Google, without any prior explanation or notice, has been terminating its News relationship with conservative e-zines and web journals. ….As reported by […]

Last night, I was talking to my buddy Right Thinking Girl and she suggested that I write a post about the 10 most datable Senators….which was just wrong! But, I decided to meet her halfway and pick the hottest woman in the Senate and the House because…well, there’s no good reason, except that I don’t […]

Last week, in an exclusive interview with Right Wing News, Congressman Jack Kingston said that you wouldn’t see a bill that supports amnesty come out of the House because 180 out of 231 Republicans oppose it. If the numbers are really that high, then it may very well mean that we’re going to get a […]

This story from The Guardian seems to back up the Raw Story article yesterday about a coming American withdrawal from Iraq: The new Iraqi prime minister, Nuri al-Maliki, today said Iraqis could be in control of security by the end of the year in all of the country apart from Baghdad and Anbar province. Mr […]

Welcome to the thoughtless world of contemporary liberalism. Beginning in the 1960s, liberalism, once the home of many deep thinkers, began to substitute feeling for thought and descended into superficiality. …This is easy to demonstrate. Here is a list of terms liberals apply to virtually every idea or action with which they differ: Racist Sexist […]

“The Rasmussen Reports national opinion survey taken the night after the President’s nationally televised address also highlighted a common misconception about the immigration debate. Media commentaries often suggest that support for an enforcement first policy is an option supported primarily by conservatives. In fact, 67% of political moderates support such an approach. That’s virtually indistinguishable […]

It’s hard to know how much credence to give to this story, but if it’s true, it’s really good news: “Tony Blair and George Bush will announce that they are to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq at a summit in Washington as early as this week, RAW STORY has learned. The process has already been […]

This sounds like a real classy show: Later on, (Madonna) donned a crown of thorns and suspended herself from a giant mirrored cross to deliver the ballad “Live to Tell.” Video screens showed images of third-world poverty and reeled off grim statistics. During one of her half-dozen costume changes, another video montage juxtaposed images of […]

This does not strike me as healthy for the United States. “Roughly 10 percent of Mexico’s population of about 107 million is now living in the United States, estimates show. About 15 percent of Mexico’s labor force is working in the United States. One in every 7 Mexican workers migrates to the United States.” From […]

Over at the Daily Kos, someone named DarkSyde is riffing about how he doesn’t like the religious right. Here’s how he started things off: “I’m not religious. I don’t see religious belief as inherently evil or fundamentally good. Martin Luther King Jr. based much of his objection to institutionalized racism on his religious convictions. Osama […]

An elementary school decided to put a patriotic symbol on the cover of its yearbook.. Fine. But there was one little problem. It was that pesky “In God We Trust” saying on the coin. So, they airbrushed it out. But, any kid who missed it could get a little sticker to put on the yearbook. […]

How about helping me out by taking a look at just a few of RWN’s advertisers? Even if you clicked on just 3 or 4 of them, it would really be great. And, as an added bonus, I’ve just listed the advertisers without mentioning their names, to sort of make it like a game…not a […]

This afternoon, I did an exclusive mini-interview with Congressman Jack Kingston on illegal immigration. What you’ll see below is an edited, partial transcript of our conversation. Enjoy! John Hawkins: Do you think the House approach to illegal immigration is better or is the Senate’s comprehensive approach better? I think that some conservatives are worried that […]

Question: “If, God forbid, the Republicans lose control of Congress in Nov, would Pres. Bush really be impeached?” — Anna_Venger Answer: If the Democrats took over, you can be almost 100% sure that they’d try to impeach Bush. They desperately want payback for Clinton and the lefty Kos crowd, which is in the final stages […]

Last night, via email, I spoke to Jon Henke from QandO and he wanted to know what I thought about a piece he wrote for Tech Central Station called Immigration’s Fifteen Minutes: Why Now?. So, in the spirit of Q&A Friday, I thought I’d do a post answering the main question of the column. Here’s […]

Question: What’s the difference between a casual blog for fun and a blog as a business?
