Year: 2006

It’s hard not to have mixed feelings about this: Forget the minimum wage. Or outsourcing jobs overseas. The labor issue most on the minds of members of Congress yesterday was their own: They will have to work five days a week starting in January. The horror. …Hoyer and other Democratic leaders say they are trying […]

There are some libs out there attempting to deliberately misconstrue things that Glenn Beck has said about what could happen to Muslims in the wake of a terrorist attack. Here’s a representative quote from Beck: “All you Muslims who have sat on your frickin’ hands the whole time and have not been marching in the […]

Robert Gates hasn’t even settled into his office yet and he’s already overdue to be fired. From his confirmation hearings: Gates was asked about Iran’s nuclear program and President Ahamdinejad’s threats to wipe Israel off the map. Gates replied that the Iranian president’s threats were serious, but that there were greater forces in Iran than […]

RWN reader Paul Nixon told me that I just had to check out this diary post over at the Daily Kos. He was right! The post was a wacky, Kosian version of the future called, “2012 In the Holy Amerikan Empire.” Check out what Ian MacLeod over at the DK presumably thinks the future in […]

Top Tier Candidates It’s still very early, but the race for the GOP presidential nomination in 2008 is starting to shape up. Here’s a quick and dirty breakdown of the field. 1) Due to his high name recognition and the fawning press that he gets from the mainstream media for trashing other Republicans, John McCain […]

Today at Conservative Grapevine, some of the headlines include, Christian Mobs riot after Bible desecration (not) How the West was lost. The nativity scene through the eyes of the ACLU (with photo) You can read all of those headlines and more here. PS: If you’d like to become an author and submit links that may […]

Dave Johnson over at Seeing The Forest wasn’t pleased with my post that referred to the Federal government ordering businesses to provide paid sick days to their employees as socialism: There is a move to require companies to pay for sick days. Conservatives say this is “Socialism.” If basic human rights is “Socialism” then I […]

From Kos at the Daily Kos: “Standard caveats aside (it’s early, we don’t have a set field, blah blah blah), it’s hard to see how Barack Obama loses the nomination barring scandal or the mother-of-all gaffes. I’ve been working up a few scenarios given the primary calendar (which isn’t set in stone, with states like […]

If you want a symbol of how mediocre, weak, and morally bankrupt Western Europe and the United Nations has become, this one will do as well as any: “Survivors of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre have criticised the Dutch government for giving an insignia to UN peacekeepers who served in the city. They said honouring Dutch […]

At the very liberal SF State University, the Associated Students board is very upset with the College Republicans because they stomped on the Hamas and Hezbollah flags — No, it’s not a Saturday Night Live sketch parodying liberals for being pro-terrorist, this is really happening! “Preceding an ongoing investigation into SF State College Republican behavior, […]

“One good test as to whether folks are doing interesting work is, Can they surprise me? And increasingly, when I read Daily Kos, it doesn’t surprise me. It’s all just exactly what I would expect.” — Barrack Obama

The business hating socialists that have taken over Congress are planning to try to force all companies to pay for sick days: “With the Democratic Congress expected to move quickly to raise the minimum wage, many Democrats, women’s organizations and liberal groups are gearing up for a fight on another workplace issue: paid sick days. […]

Daniel Glover of Beltway Blogroll wrote an article for MSNBC and the New York Times about bloggers who end up on the payrolls of politicians. Glover caught a lot of flack from bloggers about his piece, especially because of a chart that accompanied the New York Times article that featured obsequious quotes from the bloggers […]

Framing this discussion in the context of Klein’s radio stunt gives the impression, which no doubt is just what Bernd Debusmann wanted to do, that any distrust of any Muslims in the U.S. is an exercise in crypto-Nazism. And of course, “ignorance” is the problem. Efforts will be stepped up, as if they weren’t already […]

In the latter part of 2005, I ran Right Wing News and a blog called Conservative Grapevine. Conservative Grapevine was a link blog dedicated to highlighting the best posts from around the right side of the blogosphere as well as covering articles about blogging. Unfortunately, the work load got to be too much for me […]

Now normally, I don’t bother with video reviews. However, after seeing Superman Returns, which at 300 million dollars, could fairly be called the world’s most expensive pile of crap, I felt that I had a duty as a blogger to write a spoiler ridden review that describes, in nauseating detail, how gut rippingly awful this […]

This sort of warped thought process is exactly what’s wrong with liberal judges: Justice Stephen G. Breyer says the Supreme Court must promote the political rights of minorities and look beyond the Constitution’s text when necessary to ensure that “no one gets too powerful.” It’s not the job of the Supreme Court to, “promote the […]

One thing that you may have heard about this week-end was a hoax that radio host Jerry Klein played on his audience to expose their anti-Muslim prejudice: “When radio host Jerry Klein suggested that all Muslims in the United States should be identified with a crescent-shape tattoo or a distinctive arm band, the phone lines […]

I really don’t care much for this sort of mentality: “As to whether the United States has made mistakes: of course, I’m sure we have,” Rice told interviewer Saad Sillawi of the Arabic satellite television station Al-Arabiya. “You can’t be involved in something as big as the liberation of a country like Iraq, and all […]

This is a natural outgrowth of treating people with severe mental disorders like they’re simply making a lifestyle choice: “Until recently, many children who did not conform to gender norms in their clothing or behavior and identified intensely with the opposite sex were steered to psychoanalysis or behavior modification. But as advocates gain ground for […]

The following is an excerpt from the new book How The Left Was Won: An In-Depth Analysis of the Tools and Methodologies Used by Liberals to Undermine Society and Disrupt the Social Order by Richard Mgrdechian. Let’s face it, when you get right down to it, all of liberalism is fueled by a singular strategy-a […]

If you’ve ever been around a South Park aficionado, you’ve probably heard of the Underpants Gnomes.
