Question: “What are your thoughts on the media feeding frenzy surrounding the ‘Jena 6’? Is this just more race-pimping by all of the usual suspects (Sharpton, Jackson, et. al) or is there something to their allegations of injustice?” — Good_Ol_Boy Answer: Much — but, not all — of what you’ve heard about the Jena 6 […]

Question: “I’ve been a reader of this blog for a few years now, and I typically think you have a clear-headed view of things. However, you seem to have a rather biased view against Mitt Romney and John McCain. Why do you have such a hostile view of Romney? I’m not asking this as a […]

Question: “Since Duncan Hunter is running out of time to make the leap to the 1st tier of candidates, do you think he’s a possible VP choice for any of the contenders? Who and why?” — Mike_M Answer: If another candidate won, I think Duncan (whom I used to consult for) would make a fantastic […]

Question: “i was wondering if you think that the war on terror is really just that or if it really is more of a war between the west, Islam, Islam’s ideals and Islam’s culture. And if you do see it as just the war on terror what do you think of people who say that […]

Question: “I’m a long time reader, first time writing. I live in Virginia and am beginning to wonder what is happening to my red state. I live in JoAnn Davis’ district so my area is not a worry. I think the proximity to D.C. is sucking the brains out of northern Va. Its looking like […]

Liberals love to think of themselves as intellectual and nuanced, but liberalism is incredibly simplistic. It’s nothing more than “childlike emotionalism applied to adult issues.” Very seldom does any issue that doesn’t involve pandering to their supporters boil down at its core level to more than feeling “nice” or “mean” to liberals. This makes liberals […]

Today is Q&A Friday #74 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 […]

1) Duncan Hunter (I used to consult for Duncan): Hunter has impeccable credentials on national security, he can talk, he’s the most conservative candidate in the race, he has the right stance on illegal immigration, and although I don’t agree with some of his trade positions, I think they’d be a powerful tool on the […]

From a conversation I had earlier today on IM with Scott Ott from Scrappleface. He gave me permission to post a snippet of it on RWN. Scott Ott: For those who are hoping for the successful return to Pakistan of Benazir Bhutto, I offer this quote: “Extremism can flourish only in an environment where basic […]

As you may know, disgraced former newsman Dan Rather is suing CBS for $70 million Mr. Rather, 75, asserts that the network violated his contract by giving him insufficient airtime on “60 Minutes” after forcing him to step down as anchor of the “CBS Evening News” in March 2005. He also contends that the network […]

This judge in the Simpson case certainly made an “interesting” decision, “In a scene of legal deja vu, a grayer, heavier O.J. Simpson stood handcuffed in court Wednesday to face charges that could put him behind bars for life. The prosecutor who failed to get him a dozen years ago was there to watch, and […]

It is an absolute outrage that an anti-American, pro-terrorist piece of garbage like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will be allowed to visit Ground Zero. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could still visit ground zero during his visit to the United States, despite a decision from authorities to reject the controversial leader’s request to do so, security officials said […]

Fred Thompson recently told a stump speech crowd, “You know, you look back over our history, and it doesn’t take you long to realize that our people have shed more blood for other people’s liberty than any other combination of nations in the history of the world.” An unsigned author at the Washington Post has […]

One of the things I’ve noticed about Mitt Romney is that even though he is doing great in Iowa and New Hampshire, in large part because he’s spending a lot of money in those states, he’s not really getting much traction elsewhere in the nation. Not only is Mitt hovering around 10% in general polling, […]

A few weeks back, a couple of Jehovah’s witnesses showed up at my house and I was nice to them and took their literature (I skimmed it to see if there was something kooky in it worth writing about, but no dice). Well, they came by again just now to drop off some more literature […]

In case you haven’t heard, amnesty is on the comeback in the Senate via the DREAM Act. Granted it doesn’t give a blanket amnesty to all the illegals, but the DREAM ACT has been deliberately designed to have huge loopholes that will allow enormous numbers of illegals to get amnesty. Here’s Jeff Sessions explaining the […]

Hot Air has video of Rep. Jack Murtha being confronted over his blood libels against US Marines over the Haditha incident. His shameless defense: that the “trial’s still going on.” That’s true in the case of Frank Wuterich, but the charges have been dropped against three other Marines and Murtha made no distinctions between them […]

You may have already seen this video of a conspiracy theorist being tasered at a John Kerry speech… But, via a letter written to Michelle Malkin, here’s what happened before this kid started disturbing the peace and resisting arrest… So I went to the John Kerry town hall forum this morning trying to get students […]

A former New York Knicks executive at the center of a sexual harassment lawsuit repeatedly complained to a friend from work that coach Isiah Thomas had berated her with foul language, according to trial testimony Tuesday. “What the f— is your job? What are your job responsibilities, you f—ing ho?” Thomas told former vice president […]

When Sally Field won her Emmy, she gave a long, addled speech that included this line, …(I)f the mothers ruled the world there would be no godd*mn wars in the first place.” You’ve probably heard some variation of that line, over and over throughout your life, and probably from some embittered, feminist harpy who’d like […]

You may not realize it, but there was another debate last night. It was the “Values Voter” debate and if you didn’t hear about it, it was probably because it was carried on a tiny TV network most people don’t have and because the four top tier contenders didn’t show up. However, I, in the […]

Iraq Vets Against the War, a liberal veterans group, is actually encouraging people to prank, lie to, manipulate military recruiters in an effort to waste their time. Some of their suggestions include, Is your enemy the state? Befriend a recruiter and keep your friends close and your enemies closer!… This campaign is not about (badgering?) […]

Robert Jordan wrote some absolutely fantastic Conan novels, but he’s most famous for writing the “Wheel of Time.” We’re talking about a wildly popular, 12 book (and we’re talking long, long, books too), fantasy series. I’ve read 10 of the books myself, but while I enjoyed the character development, I thought the series was getting […]

Although it’s far too early to say for sure, I tend to think that the GOP will probably lose a few Senate seats in 2008, gain a few House seats, and I think the presidential race will probably be a toss-up or lean towards the Dems by a slight margin, maybe 60-40. Granted, that’s not […]
