Melissa Clouthier: The Ike Effect

My co-blogger, Melissa Clouthier, is a denizen of Houston and unfortunately, that city has been wrecked by Ike. She’s saying that they literally may not have the power on in her area for a month. Therefore, her family is going to be on the road for the next couple of days, moving to greener pastures […]

 


Conservatives And America’s Social Fabric

The New York Times’ pet “conservative,” David Brooks, wrote a really odd column — odd for a “conservative” anyway — complaining that the Right doesn’t care about social issues. Here’s the closing part of his column, That language of community, institutions and social fabric has been lost, and now we hear only distant echoes — […]

Loyal adversary

Anyone out there still thinking “four years of the Democrats to teach America a lesson“? I’m sure no one but me missed the dustup over photographer Jill Greenberg’s unprofessional behavior in her purported role as photojournalist. It’s so embarrassing even the center-left Atlantic is embarrassed (via Insty) by her antics. Here’s the thing. Dirty tricks […]

 


They Call Her Conservative like It’s a Bad Thing

One doesn’t usually have to look very hard to find counts of distortions, exaggerations, cover-ups, and even outright lies by the mainstream media. That said, I’m actually surprised at the lows they’ve reached in their coverage of Sarah Palin, the newest darling of the Republican Party. On the up side, at least it’s entertaining. This […]

 

Who is Questioning Patriotism Now?

Mr. “Do-as-I-say-but-not-as-I-do” Obama directly questions McCain’s patriotism: “Just ask the machinists in Pennsylvania who build Harley-Davidsons,” Obama said of McCain’s record. “Because John McCain didn’t just oppose the requirement that the government buy American-made motorcycles, he called Buy American provisions ‘disgraceful.’ Just ask the workers across this country who have seen their jobs outsourced. The […]

 

The New Sitemeter

Since Right Wing News gets considerably more traffic then my site, and quite a few other bloggers stop in here, I thought it might be worthwhile to crosspost this simple little bit about Sitemeter. For those who haven’t seen it, Sitemeter made some big changes to their website. And some changes to the meter you embed […]

 


AGW Today: Completely Bonkers

You know, I spend quite a bit of time cruising the port side of the ‘Net, something I learned here at Right Wing News when I first started reading the site. I love reading the plain insanity of the Left, it really is humorous, once one has armoured up so as not to go ballistic reading it. I usually […]

 

A Gift For B.O. Supporters

Since the Barry camp is under fire for ignoring outside advice, since Barry is losing to Palin on experience, since panic is setting in for Democrats, since battlegrounds are breaking for McCain, since Barry supporters are reduced to calling Palin a child predator, since the biggest kook fringers want Barry’s message to be purely person, […]

 

God and the presidency

I caught a minute of Sean Hannity as I was driving home the other day. He played and read for his audience numerous quotations from past American presidents (as well as Benjamin Franklin), each of whom acknowledged a beneficent Judeo-Christian God from whom our liberties flow. I’ve assembled my own collection of such quotations, all […]

 

Islamic terror strikes in India

While we’ve been obsessing over the election and nursing our collective Palin fever, Islamic terrorists have found better things to do with their time than discuss Sarah Palin’s hairdo or who insulted who first. There’s a whole world out there beyond the election, and it would be good to pay attention to what’s going on. […]

 



What’s Barry To Do Now?

Via blogger friend Buck: Peggy Noonan has some ideas. No more scattered, listless riffs; back to the podium and the prepared–and focused–speech. Campaign as a duo, Obama-Biden, together again. Obama alone looks like he’s part of nothing. You must aim your fire at the top of the ticket, John McCain, and not at this beautiful […]

Lincoln Chafee Attacks Sarah Palin

Thinking him more electable in liberal New England, the Republican establishment backed the moonbatty RINO Lincoln Chafee in his unsuccessful bid to hold onto his Rhode Island Senate seat instead of Steve Laffey, an actual conservative. Now this act of foolishness has been repaid: Former Rhode Island Senator Lincoln Chafee, who left the GOP after […]

 


Daily Kos Commemorates 9/11

Yesterday the enlightened progressives at Daily Kos commemorated the anniversary of the Muslim atrocities of September 11 with this somber graphic: It was accompanied by the commentary: All this 9/11 worship is ghoulish and downright silly. This shines a little light on the mentality required to support an appeaser like Barack Obama only 7 years […]

 


Charlie Gibson Got it Wrong (UPDATE)

Josh Marshall and much of the left thinks Gibson’s question about the “Bush Doctrine” showed Palin to be lacking in understanding concerning foreign affairs. The awkward moment when Charlie Gibson tries his best not to press the point that Sarah Palin doesn’t know what he’s referring to when he asks her about the “Bush Doctrine” […]

 




Q&A Friday #94: The Poisonous Political Rhetoric

Question: “In recent weeks, you’ve shown us many examples of very corrosive postings and commentary from liberal websites regarding conservatives. Some of the comments are repulsive both in language and in the ideas they portray. I think most people would agree that over time, the anger and vehemence of the rhetoric between right and left […]
