Over at the Hillaryspot a reader wrote the following in an email to Jim Geraghty, “Take a look at your own magazine. Most NR writers aren’t even using the national security argument.

The amnesty bill in the Senate is undoubtedly one of the worst, most destructive pieces of legislation to come down the pike in the last half century and not only would it do cataclysmic damage to the Republican Party, it has the potential to send our country into a downward spiral from which it would […]

“At this point I take out my Harriet Miers Fan Club charter membership card and put it on the table: This push for this bill is a disaster, Mr. President. Much much worse than the Miers nomination on which you had many good arguments, or the ports deal, on which you had fewer. On this […]

Yesterday, I put out a poll asking RWN’s readers what TV shows they at least semi-regularly watched. Since there were only 20 slots available, I couldn’t get in everything, so I tried to put together a mix of the best rated TV programs and shows that generate a lot of discussion amongst conservatives. Here are […]

Due to my numerous contacts, I’ve received the FAQ the White House is going to soon put out to answer people’s concerns about the immigration bill. It was written with help from the editorial staff at the Wall Street Journal. Here it is: Q. I’m concerned that the immigration bill focuses more on giving illegal […]

One of the arguments that has been put forth in favor of the amnesty bill in the Senate is that it would allow Republicans to get the issue off the table for 2008. Unfortunately, that analysis is completely wrong. Setting aside the very significant fact that this bill would lead to a Republican revolt in […]

“Presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton outlined a broad economic vision Tuesday, saying it’s time to replace an “on your own” society with one based on shared responsibility and prosperity.

One of the “features” of the new amnesty bill in the Senate is that it will immediately grant probationary Z-visas to 12-20 million illegal immigrants…but don’t worry, the Feds will have a full 24 hours to do a background check on each illegal, who may or may not have real documents, be giving their real […]
