Year: 2008

As if the Vero Possumus Pre-presidential Seal weren’t presumptuous and preposterous enough, the Obamessiah’s acolytes have struck a Barack Obama coin. Fittingly, the coins are produced in a foreign country: A company in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter is making commemorative coins for American presidential hopeful Barack Obama. […] Windsor, Elizabeth & Windsor has already sold more […]

As RWN’s regular readers already know, RWN, in concert with the David All Group, has run four different week long contests to hand out $50 to the best anti-socialized medicine posts in the blogosphere. Here are the results from the fourth and for the moment, final week of the contest. The winner is Single-Payer Health […]

It’s 700 Billion. Today. Assuming…do I need to finish that sentence? It’s getting porkified. It rewards stupidity. It ties Republicans to Bush-Pelosi. It turns American banking into a socialist enterprise. It means trusting Paulson. It has Democrats licking their FDR-loving, bacon dripping chops. It will, somehow, make those who get paid for failure, even richer. […]

Make sure to catch this week’s edition of Right Wing News radio. Last night’s show featured Lorie Byrd from Wizbang!, my co-blogger Dr. Melissa Clouthier, and Michael Illions from Polipundit and GOPUSA Northeast. We talked politics, race, immigration, finance, and it was a fast moving show!

“We all understand that partisan attacks are part of the political process in this country. The debate that stems from these grand and sometimes unruly conversations is what makes this country so exceptional. Indeed, our nation has a long and proud tradition of news organizations that are ideological and partisan in nature, the Huffington Post […]

You have absolutely just got to read this story about a reporter who tracked down Barack Obama’s brother. (One caveat: I had not heard of the Thailand website this story is posted on before, although I did look it up and it’s very widely read. So, while the story does seem credible, take it with […]

…Ok, not really. But, after the most gaffe-filled 48 hours I’ve ever seen from a major political candidate, on either side of the aisle, Barack got roped into saying this after being asked about Hillary, “Joe Biden is also an outstanding public servant, and I am very proud of the choice that I made.” Know […]

Politics Democrats to Let Offshore Drilling Ban Expire: “If true, this capitulation by Democrats following months of Republican pressure is a big victory for Americans struggling with record gasoline prices.” — House GOP leader John Boehner Obama Ad Distorts McCain’s Record on Stem Cells: No surprise on this one. Read this one carefully; you won’t […]

A few days ago, it seemed like the only thing you were hearing about the bailout was “We’ve got to do it right now, this instant, or it’ll lead to all out higglety-pigglety! We’ll have cats living in sin with dogs, the Amish flying rocket ships, Michael Jackson becoming attracted to women! It’ll be financial […]

Senator Obama is running an ad hitting John McCain for opposing equal pay for women. This is so dishonest. First of all, since the 1963 Equal Pay Act,, is has been illegal to pay women differently for the same work. So no matter how much of a Neanderthal you think John McCain is, he can’t […]

The VP candiate from hell? What the hey, he knows where the gates of hell are as I pointed out today. Right where his helicopter was “forced down” in Afghanistan. On energy, well, to all the coal miners in PA and elsewhere, fugitaboudit: “No coal plants here in America,” he said. “Build them, if they’re […]

“This massive bailout is not a solution. It is financial socialism and it’s un-American,” — Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky.

Those of us who are pro-life have some ferocious debates with the people who are pro-abortion, but one thing you’d think all of us could agree on would be that once a child gets outside of the womb it is a child; it deserves medical treatment and legal protection. However, Barack Obama, during his time […]

You know what the scariest thing about Joe Biden is? He’ll be the voice of reason and experience in the White House if Obama wins. That’s right, this guy… Joe Biden isn’t backing down from his startling claim last week that raising taxes on the rich is the “patriotic” thing to do. On Thursday he […]

My latest Townhall column, Barack Obama’s Top 10 Campaign Gaffes, just made it into the top 7 most read columns for the week at Townhall. It is a real honor to be in the kind of company once again.

Fasten your tinfoil hats, moonbats — the rise of Sarah Palin means we are headed toward a police state! Just ask Naomi Wolf: Please understand what you are looking at when you look at Sarah “Evita” Palin. You are looking at the designated muse of the coming American police state. […] I realized early on […]

Like most Americans who pay attention, I marvel on an almost daily basis at the self-destructive stupidity of the Left. They are a gang of squalling brats with an absolute sense of intellectual superiority despite the fact that they literally would be incapable of surviving without people who are more worldly than themselves doing the […]

So, I spend the morning telling my friend that Barack Obama is a terrible choice for president even though I have reservations about McCain. And then I read this which quotes George Will who says: Conservatives who insist that electing McCain is crucial usually start, and increasingly end, by saying he would make excellent judicial […]

Late last week, I was pleased to have the opportunity to interview the Wall Street Journal’s John Fund about his book, “Stealing Elections, Revised and Updated: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy.” With the election coming up in November, it’s a timely and important read. What follows is a very slightly edited transcript of our […]

Well, not exactly. Technically, it’s men with “traditional gender attitudes” make more money. That makes me wonder if men with those attitudes demand more money because their wives don’t work. Or, is it that employers are sexist and pay men with wives at home more because they know the family has one income? True story: […]

When you’re running a presidential campaign, you hit your opponent’s weaknesses, respond to attacks, etc., etc., but you always need to keep a central narrative in mind. What is that core message you want voters to keep in mind about you and your opponent when they step into the voting booth? For McCain, prior to […]

So, I am off on Friday and Monday and then naturally, last night as I am just getting ready to start updating at around 12:15 EST, I am unable to pull a web page. I pick up the phone, call my provider, and they tell me they’re getting a bazillion calls and that they must […]

Teleprompter glitches notwithstanding, you would think Obama could remember the names of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in light of this: Barack Obama has a major Wall Street and Washington problem that the media so far is refusing to acknowledge or explore. He is in the pocket of the Wall Street firms and mortgage security […]

John asked me to let you all know that his Internet is down and he’s having technical issues with his provider. He’ll be back and posting as soon as he’s able.

As the stock market tanks, I ponder whether Wall Street should be allowed to crash or not. And, have you noticed oil is up $25/barrel? Should the Fed bailout Wall Street? Yes No    pollcode.com free polls UPDATED: If you oppose the bailout, does this, from Megan McArdle, change your opinion? Have you considered what […]

Of the bailout now being considered, the Heritage Foundation says the following: As a general principle, conservatives believe government should not intervene to protect those who have made poor business decisions — even if those decisions have been influenced by excessive government regulation. But there can be rare situations where the cumulative effect of many […]

Glad to hear them say it. I hope McCain realizes he’s not the media darling anymore, and he never will be again — so he can stop catering to them now. Transcript: Let me – let me also add, on the, um, specific question of the New York Times. Um, to speak directly to this […]
