Year: 2008

Since the inspiring Village of the Obamatrons video has been removed from YouTube, those who are curious to see President and Chief Executive Officer of NBC Universal Jeff Zucker’s personal project can either see it here, or check out the alternate Pyongyang version: Via reason.tv, on a tip from V the K. Cross-posted at Moonbattery.

All eyes are on my hometown, St. Louis, Mo., today because of the vice-presidential debate tonight.  (For those of you in St. Louis for the event, head to Favazza’s restaurant if you’re looking for a great place to eat. Ask for Mark Favazza, my brother, and tell him you read about the place in a blog post […]

“Through the Mercy of Fools all Justice is lost.” -Nachmanides on Deut. 7:16 Dan Friedman sent that to me and it landed in my inbox along with the best article that R.S. McCain has written (yet). It’s about the immorality of the American taxation system. You’ll want to read the whole thing: Whereas transactions in […]

“When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing — they believe in anything.” — G.K. Chesterton “Liberals hate religion because politics is a religion substitute for liberals and they can’t stand the competition.” — Ann Coulter Conservatives have mocked the cult like atmosphere around the Obama Messiah, but how do you even […]

I’m not sure whether it will be Melissa Clouthier, Katie Favazza, me, or some combination thereof liveblogging the debate, but somebody will be livebloging it tonight. So, when you turn on Sarah and Joe, head on over to RWN and join us while we follow the debate.

Former Democratic Congresswoman and Green Party presidential candidate, Cynthia McKinney, is in the news again because she claimed that the government murdered 5000 people during Katrina, dumped their bodies in a swamp, and then covered it up. “”In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, I had a woman, I’ve never really said this in public, out […]

I like Fox News and think they do a much better job than their competitors, but Republicans in D.C. should realize by now that the views of analysts on Fox News are much more representative of Beltway Republicans than they are of the views of conservatives across the country. Put another way, if you’re hoping […]

The first poll I did on the bailout was put out prior to the bill failing in the House and the stock market doing its best trampoline impression as a result. So, I decided to do another poll to see if anybody’s mind had changed as a result. The initial poll results had 85% of […]

One of my favorite candidates that we’re supporting through Rightblogs is Tom McLintock. Watch this ad about Charlie Brown and I think you may be inspired to chip in a few bucks.

It’s painfully obvious that someone who’s writing a book called, “The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama,” especially one that is supposed to come out on inauguration day, has no business moderating a Vice-Presidential debate. Moreover, the fact that she didn’t “tell the Commission on Presidential Debates about the book,” tells you […]

I was talking to my buddy Skye from Midnight Blue and she was in a terrible mood because of the bailout and the way the GOP seems to be tanking prior to the election. As I tried to make her feel better, tongue planted firmly in cheek, I said “Hey, want me to put up […]

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill said the $700 billion bank-rescue proposal under negotiation in Washington is “crazy,” with potentially “awful” consequences for the world’s largest economy. “Doesn’t this seem like lunacy to you?” said O’Neill, who was President George W. Bush’s first Treasury chief, from 2001 to 2002, in a telephone interview today. “The […]

The Senate’s version of water-boarding: Gloat to the press about their own wonderfulness and drown the American public in their sanctimony. Ugh, I’m still coughing up sputum. (I’m referring to the Bailout they all seem so proud of right now.) So a poll. What’s worse? Watching The View women blab about Barack Obama’s sexiness or […]

What if Ronald Reagan was wrong? He championed supply-side economics and through his policies created deficit spending. (And yes, I acknowledge the trade-off of bringing down the Soviet Empire was worth it in the near term, but what did that action create in the long-term?) It seems self-evident that tax and spend is wrong. The […]

As part of Examiner.com’s “Best of” series, I wanted to address the best conservative politicians and the facts you need to know about them. I started with a huge list and narrowed it down to 10 people, all currently in office: Rep. Eric Cantor, Sen. Tom Coburn, Sen. Jim DeMint, Gov. Bobby Jindal, Sen. John McCain, Gov. Sarah Palin, Rep. Mike Pence, Rep. […]

Historian Paul Johnson takes a swing at the theory of AGW. He posits that AGW “science” is about as scientific as theories by Karl Marx: The idea that human beings have changed and are changing the basic climate system of the Earth through their industrial activities and burning of fossil fuels–the essence of the Greens’ […]

In light of Democrats’ incredibly audacious attempt to use the massive bailout bill to funnel a fortune into the pockets of ACORN, Mona Charen provides a little background on this hard-left activist group: ACORN is where 1960s leftovers who couldn’t get tenure at universities wound up. […] Because they are on the side of righteousness […]

Today, I had a conversation with an anonymous congressional aide. Part of this person’s job at the moment is to help come up with ways to sell the bailout to conservatives. Here’s a heavily edited snippet from our conversation that’s published with permission… John Hawkins: Heh. You have a brutal job. I feel for you […]

Last week, Kathleen Parker — who is an excellent conservative columnist — wrote one of the most controversial columns of the year. The column, which was rather cutting in places, suggested that Sarah Palin should quit as McCain’s VP, If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself. If Palin were a man, […]

At this point the liberal media can dispense with any pretense of objectivity when it comes to moderating the debates — so it has: Questions are being raised about PBS anchor Gwen Ifill’s objectivity after news surfaced that she is releasing a new book promoting Barack Obama and other black politicians who have benefited from […]

If you need yet another reason to support term limits, I would refer you to the bailout crisis that we’re having and would say that provides as good a justification as you’re ever going to find. Now let me explain why I say that. First of all, the root of the bailout crisis is in […]

Full disclosure: John Hawkins insisted I post this story to share with you all after I’d told him via instant message. Picture this: I’m working at a coffee shop near my house, but I don’t exactly fit the mold. Don’t get me wrong: I love the place and I work there a couple days a […]

As many regular readers of RWN already know, in 2006 I organized a group of conservative bloggers to raise money for the GOP. Well, this year we’ve got another group of bloggers together. Ace of Spades HQ, Atlas Shrugs, Conservatives With Attitude, Gateway Pundit, Moonbattery, PoliPundit, Power Line, Redstate, Right Wing News, & Wizbang! have […]

I didn’t see the whole Couric interview. Evidently, Sarah Palin didn’t perform well and even conservatives are cringing. I buy it. The part I saw, made me wonder if she was sitting on a bed of nails, she was so nervous. Coached and careful, defensive and self-doubting, she clearly just wanted to get through it […]

For another blog, I’ve been asked to discuss the best conservative politicians. I’ve narrowed my list down to what I consider the top ten combined senators, congressmen and governors–but I’m interested in what the Right Wing News audience thinks about this list. Please vote below–and if your favorite didn’t make the list, post a comment […]

Since the bailout plan has failed and the market has pulled a yo-yo act, I thought it would be a good time to ask this poll question again to see if people’s views have changed on remained the same. Do you support the bailout? Yes No    Free polls from Pollhost.com
