Year: 2009

There’s no question that released Club Gitmo vacationers will kill Americans. It’s already happened: A New York woman was killed in a terrorist attack at the U.S. Embassy in Sana, Yemen, in September. And U.S. counterterrorism officials have now confirmed that Said Ali al-Shihri, 35, who was released from the Guantanamo Bay prison center in […]

The campaign to Islamize Britain in the name of political correctness has ended the career of a foster mother who had looked after over 80 children, after she failed to prevent one of her wards from converting from Islam to Christianity. The teenage convert was in foster care because she had been abused in her […]

Ann Althouse writes something that is so profound and yet, obvious: How long does it take people to get something through their skulls? The Prez is black. I’ve been used to it since months before it happened. (And it seemed normal to me back when he was a long shot.) Are people really still going […]

The Republicans have wisely raised holy hell over both the bailout of the Big 3 and the stimulus package. In both cases, the Democrats were bloodied more than the Republicans. In part that’s because the GOP couldn’t go much lower with the public and their base anyway, but we’ve got to take our victories where […]

“All my life, from birth, it’s been a fight. And it always seemed to be another man’s war. I always seemed to be fighting for someone else. But it always came back to me. The Word says we’re born into sin, and sin always comes back to war.” — Sam Childers Lots of do-gooders want […]

I’m completely flummoxed. Where to start? In a couple weeks, Barack Obama has managed to prove far more destructive than I could have imagined possible. Not only has his form been careless, dismissive, petty, and unpresidential, his substance will fundamentally transform the country in a horrible way. It’s like the destroyer train has left the […]

* This stimulus bill is huge, so disastrous, and so harmful to our country that even though Obama has been in office for less than a month, I think it’s already fair to label him as one of the worst Presidents in American history. * Where’s the leadership from Mitch McConnell on this stimulus bill? […]

“The stimulus package the U.S. Congress is completing would raise the government’s commitment to solving the financial crisis to $9.7 trillion, enough to pay off more than 90 percent of the nation’s home mortgages. The Federal Reserve, Treasury Department and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have lent or spent almost $3 trillion over the past two […]

SC Governor Mark Sanford — who is one of the rising stars in the Republican Party — gets it exactly right on the stimulus, A problem that was created by building up of too much debt will not be solved with yet more debt,” Gov. Mark Sanford said Sunday, making a reference to the federal […]

Make sure to check out Conservative Grapevine today, where you’ll find links like: Mark Steyn: Obama, All at Sea. It’s the new president’s mythology that urgently needs some stimulus The Phoenix: Barack Obama actually reading the lines: “You ain’t my b*tch, n*gga! Buy your own d*mn fries!” and “There are white folks, and then there […]

Ann Coulter has a new book out, Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault on America. In an effort to promote her book, Ann has done her 5th interview with RWN. What follows are the questions that were emailed to Ann and her replies. Enjoy! How does our society promote single motherhood? For a full answer, […]

Saturday Night Live is ripping Democrats over the stimulus plan: Now, once you get done laughing at that, Jack Dunphy at Patterico’s has a flashback video of Milton Friedman in 1979 laying the law down to Phil Donahue on the merits of capitalism and free markets. That one will get your motor runnin’. We need […]

Everybody panic! UCONN Police Reporting a Suspicious Occurrence and Safety Alert: On 2/7/09 at approximately 6:35 PM a suspicious incident occurred at Hilltop Apartments, in the parking lot between the Beard and French buildings. A male approached a female from the opposite direction and came up within several feet of her personal space. The female […]

Joltin’ Joe Biden previewed it in Germany yesterday: As promised, Vice President Joe Biden reached out to the international community Saturday, saying the U.S. is open for talks with Iran and Russia to repair relations, and willing to work with allies to solve world problems. But in his first major foreign policy speech for the […]

From my latest American Spectator column: . . . The real problem with the stimulus bill is not that it is too big (although it is too big) nor its various objectionable ingredients (although many are objectionable), but rather that it is based on a false economic theory. “The American people…did not vote for the […]

American society as a whole, and politics in particular, has become considerably ruder, cruder, less civil and more paranoid than it used to be. There are a lot of factors that have contributed to this latest round of cultural degeneration, but I think the internet deserves to get more than a smidgen of the blame […]

Yes, even a stopped clock is right twice a day, and it’s that time of day of the United Nations — actually describing objective facts related to the Israeli-Arab conflict that depart from the “noble savages” script regarding Palestinians. Get this: Christopher Gunness, a spokesman for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, said Hamas […]

I thought it was interesting a few minutes ago when I noticed my local paper’s editorial section has four cartoons — all four of them are dedicated to a common theme. That these “Wall Street executives” are receiving huge bonuses and compensation for their experience, and it’s just a big crock. One sympathizes. Who among […]

Hmmm, how many times during the HopeyChangey campaign (which is still going strong at barackobama.com) did we hear something similar to this? As President, I would deploy at least two additional brigades to Afghanistan to re-enforce our counter-terrorism operations and support NATO’s efforts against the Taliban. Now we get PRESIDENT Barack Obama has demanded that […]

What’s next? I’ll tell you what’s next… The stimulus package! The stimulus package!! I’m sick of turning on the t.v. everyday and listening to people talk about the stimulus package. 50, 60, 70 people analyzing this thing. Let me break it down to you in simplest terms. NOBODY is against the stimulus package! No Republican. […]

A graphic memoir, of course. But the subject would have to be suitably stirring to warrant the treatment usually accorded superheroes. You’d want a real-life hero: someone like William Ayers. William Ayers? Of course. Calvin Reid of Publishers Weekly writes: Teachers College Press, a scholarly, professional and trade publisher focused on the theory and practice […]

How it is understood that your brain is a moped engine powering a Humvee — and so quickly, with such certainty, by so many. Where exactly is that “I’m a moron” sign located? You’ve checked and checked, it doesn’t seem to be written on your forehead, but people around you act as if it is. […]

I’m not an economist and I don’t even play one on TV. I am a one-time history major, though, and someone with the kind of knowledge-base that’s built up over years of being an autodidact, an employee and a small business owner. While I don’t understand economics at a complex level (I’m a lousy investor), […]

File under Things I Could Happily Lived The Rest of My Life Without Thinking About: One night, New York Times columnist Judith Warner had a dream about the president taking a shower in her house. Then a friend of hers confided that she’d had an Obama dream, too. So, Warner “launched an e-mail inquiry” to […]

Listening to the breathless media coverage of The One recently, you’d think this was the first time a sitting President had ever reached across the aisle to his opponents. NPR even gets a former Republican to bash George Bush so they don’t have to. So good for the street cred: All that praise for the […]

(This is the first of my multi-part series for Examiner.com, debunking liberal media myths about the Vietnam War.) It’s one of the most famous images of the 20th century. Eddie Adams’ Pulitzer Prize winning 1968 photograph of an execution on a Vietnam street has been reprinted and reenacted countless times. In the film Stardust Memories, […]

Well, after Democratic assurances that the Fairness Doctrine wasn’t something they planned to pursue, Michigan Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow muddied those waters again. Appearing on the Bill Press Show she had this to say: BILL PRESS: Yeah, I mean, look: They have a right to say that. They’ve got a right to express that. But, […]

Um, huh? The new Senate cuts, if passed, “will do violence to the future,” said Pelosi, who is also pressing a reluctant Obama to repeal Bush administration tax cuts for the wealthy before they expire at the end of 2010.  Unfortunately, it looks like some wishy washy Rerhinocans have made a deal, so, instead of […]

Remember how so many critics of former President George W. Bush called the Texan “divisive”? One columnist contended that the Republican used “scare tactics” to “demean politics and voters.” They faulted him for deriding his opponents. Now, I have a challenge for those who continue to berate Bush. Can you find anything in his speeches […]
