Year: 2008

At 4:07 PM EST, I’m going to be on the Jaz McKay show. Click on Stickam in the left corner to listen to the show.

I’ll file this one under “Least Surprising News Stories” — since the “Extremely Compelling Reasons Not to Vote for Obama” folder is already overflowing. According to Gallop, the unfriendly French favor Obama over McCain by a 16 to 1 margin, despite having recently elected a right-of-center candidate to run their own country. Gallop says that […]

Phil Valentine, talk radio host and author of the newly released book, “A Conservative’s Handbook,” recently agreed to a brief interview with me about his new book, his thoughts on McCain and Palin and his efforts to create his own personal biofuel. Favazza: What are the demographics of your radio audience? How does that differ […]

It was not a bad idea for the McCain campaign to bring up Bill Ayers and ACORN, but given the current media environment, it’s not enough. By that I mean, it’s great to point out that ACORN is engaging in widescale election fraud and that Obama pals around with terrorists, but the McCain campaign never […]

I love getting a good massage, although Swedish massages are expensive enough in this area ($60-$70 for an hour) that I can very rarely afford to splurge on them. However, even if you paid me $70 an hour, I wouldn’t get one of these massages, Israeli health and beauty spa offers a snake massage for […]

In Grover Norquist‘s new book, “Leave Us Alone: Getting the Government’s Hands Off Our Money, Our Guns, Our Lives,” he writes: When Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980, less than 20 percent of American households owned stock directly. Today, 50 percent of households own stock and two-thirds of all voters in the past elections were […]

You’d think that over time, as people became more exposed to his habitual dishonesty, megalomania, and radicalism, that the “messiah complex” around Obama would wear off. Apparently, that’s not so at the Daily Kos where diarist manumit writes, What if Obama is the second coming of Jesus Christ? I’m not a religious person however I’d […]

By any reasonable definition of the term, Barack Obama is a socialist. He has adopted three father figures that served as mentors in the course of his life: Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Soviet-financed Communist Party USA; Jeremiah Wright, a proponent of a race-based form of Marxism called Black Liberation Theology; and William […]

Fausta Wertz says this about the 2008 presidential election milieu: We have a confluence of factors here: corrupt, power-hungy politicians like Nancy Pelosi who will go to any lengths to consolidate their stranglehold on the country; Alinksy socialists like Obama who believe in redistributing wealth; people like Ayers who hate America and who want to […]

At 10:30 A.M. EST, I’m going to be doing the Scott Hennen Show. I am coming on as part of a two man blogger round table, right after — I believe — Hennen gets done with interviewing Sarah Palin. I have no idea what we’ll be talking about, so I’ll have to think fast on […]

Via Drudge. “The Obama-McCain match-up is proving to be a lackluster election ticket for the Big 3 network news programs, according to NIELSEN MEDIA RESEARCH. As the shouting from the trail and the frantic spinning from the anchor desks intensify, the audience is voting with their remotes. All 3 evening news shows experienced audience drops […]

When McCain was in the primaries, hard core conservatives — myself included — couldn’t stand the guy and didn’t want him as the nominee while the moderate wing of the party cheered him on and the independents helped catapult him to victory in the early races. Now, it’s late in the campaign and who, for […]

Do you have an employee or two? Are you an employee at a small business? If you answer yes to either question, you’ll want to read this from the Wall Street Journal: Mr. Obama’s tax increase would hit the bottom line of small businesses in three direct ways. First, because 85% of small business owners […]

The other day, we discussed here (at MelissaClouthier.com for Right Wing News readers) whether Sweden is a canary in the minefield (and yes, I was aware that the statement is “a canary in the coal mine” and that I was mixing metaphors) of Western Civilization. One of the notions of particular interest hinged on this […]

At a time when politics seems to be almost completely occupied with the current financial crisis, thousands of social conservatives gathered Sunday evening in front of New Jersey’s State House in Trenton to let the media and legislators know that they weren’t about to let cultural issues get pushed to the backburner. Just less than […]

On Right Wing News Radio this week, I talked about Colin Powell’s endorsement, the state of the campaign, why I’m done talking about Ayers & ACORN, “big government” Republicans, and what — God forbid — an Obama presidency would look like. If you’ve never caught Right Wing News radio, tonight would be a great night […]

Via Hot Air and Ed Morrisey: You know, I get tired of saying things over and over and I’m sure you get tired of reading them (I at least try to say it a little differently each time to cut down on the monotony), but this is important. I remember feeling just like I do […]

Hanoi John Kerry — who whines that he was “swiftboated” because men who had served with him in Vietnam gave the lie to his phony war hero status — had this to say about real war hero John McCain: These are the exciting last two week moments of the presidential campaign. So it’s a very […]

As I was perusing the MailOnline today, I was surprised to see them refer to Sarah Silverman as, and I quote, ‘the funniest woman alive.’ I was not, however, surprised to read this, She bombed as a guest on Jonathan Ross’s show on Friday night and now Sarah Silverman has flopped on stage too. Here’s […]

Here’s another little preview of the totalitarian Twilight Zone we will be entering if the Left is able to slip Obama into the White House. The voter fraud being conducted by his old friends at ACORN has led to Obama calling for a Justice Department investigation — not of ACORN’s systematic fraud, but of the […]

Over at the MailOnline, they are talking about a study that proves what every intellectually honest person who has looked into the issue already knows: that the “pay gap between men and women is not due to discrimination but to their lifestyle choice.” Here are the details, The pay gap between men and women has […]

You think healthcare is expensive now? Well, look to Hawaii to get a preview of what would happen if Obama gets his way and makes healthcare “free,” On March 1, the Hawaii Medical Service Association began enrolling children in the state Keiki (child) Care program. The grand plan was to provide medicine for every child […]

Ross Douthat wrote a piece a few days ago that has been much talked about and even though other people on RWN have commented on it, I just had to get my two cents in on the article. What Is The Conservative Cocoon? …The cocoon is the constellation of mutually-reinforcing conservative institutions – think tanks […]

From the New York Post, “Mark my words,” Biden warned Sunday at a Democratic fund-raiser. “It will not be six months [after the inauguration] before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy.” Then he added, “Watch. We’re going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this […]

(Hawkins’ note: I received this in my email over the week-end and liked it enough to run it. Enjoy!) After talking to a few liberal friends I can to the conclusion that the only way to change peoples minds is to change their perspective. When talking about Obama’s tax plans don’t talk about 95%, but […]

. . . a vote to legitimize terrorism? The Republican Jewish Coalition reminds you to think it over carefully before you vote: Via Hot Air.

Obama’s lame excuses that he did not know how radical Ayers was when he used to hang out with him, will eventually unravel. Here’s some shocking audio from anarchist/marxist, terrorist Bill Ayers from the same week he worked with Obama. Make sure everyone you know sees this. The media will be looping this right after […]

I bet when this 527 group released this excellent ad questioning Obama’s naive foreign policy inexperience, they had no idea that Barack’s own VP pick had the same doubts. The timing couldn’t have been better. I’m late to this gaffetastic slip of truth from Biden so I’ll just round up reactions. Thanks to Cuffy for […]

Uh huh, 7 years later, and some sanity might be prevailing A U.S. military “Red Team” charged with challenging conventional thinking says that words like “jihad” and “Islamist” are needed in discussing 21st-century terrorism and that federal agencies that avoid the words soft-pedaled the link between religious extremism and violent acts. “We must reject the […]
