Earlier this week, I did a phone interview with Carol Platt Liebau about her book, Prude: How the Sex-Obsessed Culture Damages Girls (and America, Too)! What follows is a slightly edited transcript of my interview with Carol: There was a time when feminism actually discouraged marriage and called all sex “rape,” but today the feminist […]

I just got off of a teleconference with John McCain. What follows are my notes, not quotes, from what McCain had to say. Opening Statement I have been traveling to places where they have had trouble participating in the American dream like Inez, Kentucky, Selma, Alabama and the 9th ward in Louisiana. Local government is […]

Although I’m supporting John McCain for President in 2008, I have to admit that I’d rather see Hillary Clinton as his opponent. That’s not because I think she’d be a weaker candidate; it’s because I’d love to see that smug tin god, Barack Obama, humbled and forced to taste bitter defeat at Hillary’s hands. Ironically, […]

Via Michelle Malkin, I learned that there is actually a guy at the Wall Street Journal named Jason Riley who is writing a book called Let Them In:The Case for Open Borders. Believe it or not, the book has Max Boot, Arthur Laffler, and Lawrence Lindsey talking it up — which is disturbing, because you […]

“Yes, Walmart joins the “rationing.” Customers limited to 200 POUNDS of rice at a time. (Related: As prices skyrocket, experts warn of an impending world wide shortage of airbrushed goalie masks. This may be the time to stock up.)” — Small Dead Animals

“The Next Six Months. Some Republican or conservative group runs a dumb ad. John McCain nobly distances himself from it. Cable news spends all day talking about it and showing it for free. Rinse. Repeat.” — Atrios

Paul Craig Roberts, whose main claim to fame is being an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration, who later became ultra liberal and ultra insane, has written a completely crackers column about Iraq for Counterpunch. Just read these excerpts, “…(T)he American sheeple have accepted a succession of transparent lies: weapons of mass […]

It has become a given that John McCain is going to run a wimpy campaign. Sure, he may try to rip the jugular vein out of any Republican who crosses him, but when he goes up against a Democrat, he turns into a Care Bear. I’m not happy about that, but I’ve made peace with […]

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey, get out of the Republican Party, you Nazi loving freak! If fans of Hitler held a party, and a candidate for federal office attended, would anybody notice? Apparently, yes. U.S. Congressional candidate Tony Zirkle is facing criticism from one of his primary opponents, and […]

You want to know why conservatives are so unmotivated this year? Honestly, part of it is cyclical. Conservatives have done so well at the ballot box for so long that a lot of people on the Right have forgotten what it’s like to stand by helplessly while liberals run the country into the ground. However, […]

“Sen. Barack Obama continued accepting donations from oil company executives and employees last month even as he aired ads in which he stated he took no oil company money, his campaign finance reports show. Obama has taken at least $263,000 from oil company executives, family members and employees since entering the presidential race last year, […]

“The Democratic Party has two weakened candidates. Mrs. Clinton started as a deeply flawed candidate: the palpable and unpleasant sense of entitlement, the absence of a clear and optimistic message, the grating personality impatient to be done with the little people and overly eager for a return to power, real power, the phoniness and the […]

A biker is riding by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his bike, runs to the cage […]

During the 2004 election, when the Democrats had a Vietnam vet running for the Presidency against George Bush who had just served in the National Guard, we heard quite a bit about “chickenhawks.” For example, here’s Frank Lautenberg taking a line we heard again and again from liberals, “Lautenberg pointed to a poster with a […]

Over at the Daily Kos, the wailing and gnashing of teeth over Hillary’s victory in Pennsylvania have been truly glorious to behold. Here are two of my faves… The first was a variation of a post that you will see many times between now and the election. If America doesn’t elect Obama, apparently black Americans […]

Hey, it would be really great if you could click on a few of my advertisers to show them that advertising on Right Wing News pays off for them. The more clicks they get, the better value they get for their money, the more likely they are to advertise here again… Link #1 Link #2 […]

According to the Politico, a “prominent Republican” says McCain will get an extra 15% of the vote in a race against Barack Obama, I was talking the other day to a prominent Republican who asked me what I thought John McCain’s strongest issues would be in the general election. Lower taxes and the argument he […]

“If you can’t afford it, you don’t deserve it.” — Anonymous I was a little surprised — scratch that — a little disappointed to see a newspaper bemoaning how unfair it was that many people who are poor got that way because they keep buying things that they can’t afford, Like everyone else, low-paid, cash-strapped […]

A friend calls in from a polling station in rural white west Pennsylvania, where he’s following a local Republican primary. He tells me that the Obama poll-worker passing out literature has been getting worked over all morning. Here’s a small, anecdotal sample of the remarks. The first one refused an Obama flier as he entered […]

From an interview over at NRO: Lopez: What is al-Qaeda’s view of masculinity and how does it differ from the American military’s? Yon: Al-Qaeda models a street gang notion of masculinity in which the cruelest, most destructive and bullying are seen as the toughest and most admired. Raping children and murdering their parents is a […]

Mitch Daniels has been flogged for some comments he made about Ronald Reagan, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels elicited several hushed gasps and raised eyebrows late last week as he lectured a conservative crowd that it was “time to let Ronald Reagan go.” The governor delivered his remarks to a room full of fellow red-staters at […]

This is too funny. The great and snobby one was at a photo-op, digging into a waffle, when a reporter asked him a question. Here’s what happened, “As Sen. Hillary Clinton was preparing to campaign here today, Sen. Barack Obama was meeting with voters at a diner and apparently pretty hungry. “Why can’t I just […]

Every day of the week in this country, American citizens die because there are not enough organs to go around. So, how much sense does this make? “Ana Puente was an infant with a liver disorder when her aunt brought her illegally to the United States to seek medical care. She underwent two liver transplants […]
