Goodperson Fever (n.) is an obsessive-compulsive disorder involving the demonstration of certain positive attributes to strangers, for purposes of self-validation. It becomes a self-perpetuating cycle if these positive attributes don’t really exist, or if there is a great need to achieve this validation for purposes of acquiring social status, contrasted with a much lower level […]

Fellow Right Wing News contributor William Teach brings us up to date, as of yesterday: If the Democrats thought the Central Intelligence Agency was out to get them over the past few weeks, they ain’t seen nuttin’ yet after this little bit of insanity House Speaker Nancy Pelosi today accused intelligence officials of giving her […]

A new un-shocking study showed us that people are happier as they age, that men are happier than woman, and that Republicans are happier than Democrats. Read it: Americans grow happier as they age, surveys find. And a new Pew Research Center survey shows the tendency is holding up as the economy tanks. Happiness is […]

Normally I am skeptical over these “This Line-on-the-Graph Just Went Past the Fifty Percent Mark” stories. I think they are generally much ado about nothing, since when you read them, the swing is something close to the margin of error. I also tend to think on some issues, people have an unrecognized need for conflict […]

So says one deranged KOSsack, by no means the only one, reacting to the news that Obama is backpedaling on releasing detainee abuse photos. Obama Shifts on Abuse Photos Releasing Images of Detainee Mistreatment Would Endanger U.S. Troops, President Says President Obama says the detainee abuse photos he wants to block from release are “not […]

Nancy Pelosi’s readiness to blame the Bush Administration, the “all-purpose political punching bag” of liberal imagination, for her own imperfections, indicates that President Obama has yet broken the “pattern in Washington where everybody is always looking for somebody else to blame.” If the President truly wishes to change the tone in our nation’s capital, he’s […]

Mike Adams is delivering his thoughts about some of the protesters he encountered during a speech he gave at UMass. Socialists are morally outraged without any source of morality. Finally, there is the brunette girl in the black shirt seen throughout the video. She got up and gave her own speech after mine was over. […]

…whose anger, inexplicably, is on the rise still even as their power has now become dictatorial and uncontested. It defies all reason, common sense, rationalization, explanation — this is exactly the flavor of anger normal people might have when they lose control of things. After a slow and steady buildup throughout the last eleven years, […]

The prophecy: A political emergency brings out the corn-pone opinion in fine force in its two chief varieties–the pocketbook variety, which has its origin in self-interest, and the bigger variety, the sentimental variety–the one which can’t bear to be outside the pale; can’t bear to be in disfavor; can’t endure the averted face and the […]

There is a a certain poetic justice in the travails of the Democratic Speaker of the House. She joined her partisan colleagues in the zeal to prosecute Bush Administration officials for what the MSM has labeled “torture memos.” And now it seems her grandstanding may cost her her job, possibly hurting her party’s standing with […]

John Hawkins of Right Wing News called for Sen. John Cornyn to resign from the National Republican Senatorial Committee after Tuesday’s endorsement of Charlie Crist in the 2010 Florida Senate race. Then Erick Erickson of Red State vowed “not one dime for the NRSC,” but that seemed like about nine cents too much for me. […]

I have an idea to throw out for you guys to chew on. Laer, at Cheat-Seeking Missiles, in an email asked why Jindal’s speech, which looks great on paper, got such a bad reception. The reception was bad on both the Left and the Right, so its being dissed wasn’t just a matter of media […]

If you’re over thirty, you remember the shampoo commercials that had the tag line “Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.” If you’ve forgotten, you can refresh your memory here. That slogan started repeating itself in my head with the attacks on Sarah Palin. I won’t repeat here (or link to) the startling savagery of the […]

Since Waxman and Markey plan to push legislation that will crush the economy regardless of the costs, the API released a statement. Here is part of the statement: Those who drive, fly or take the bus or train to work will shoulder a disproportionate burden and this must be rectified. Emission allowances will be distributed […]

As we noted here last week, controversial talk radio host Michael Savage unintentionally shoved Rush Limbaugh out of the news, when he was banned from visiting the U.K. as a “hatemonger.” Boris Johnson, the mayor of London and a one-time controversialist in his own right, insisted that Michael Savage posed no risk to British security, […]

I’m not saying that John Hawkins is the leader of the Tea Party movement because I write for his blog and I’m trying to score brownie points. I’m not saying that John Hawkins is the leader of the Tea Party movement because he says so and because he says so it makes it so. I’m […]

Perhaps they thought they would be safe in the era of HopeNchange? Two people facing deportation from the United States have been taken into custody at the White House gate. They had arrived for a tour of the executive mansion. The pair was part of an adult education program, and a routine background check showed […]

If there’s one constituency the Dems have sewn up, it’s the dead. The deceased have been in the Democrat camp since JFK supporters rallied the cemeteries of Chicago against Nixon in 1960. Since then, ACORN has had great success in registering corpses to vote. Now comes a little payback: This week, thousands of people are […]

If they’re not too averse to capitalism, the folks at Democratic Underground ought to make a buck by compiling a moonbat cookbook from their various roadkill cooking tips. A few examples: Moonbats also eat bugs: To make the most of their expertise, the DUmmies might want to include tips on feeding out of garbage bins: […]

Who is Obama lecturing here? President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries. “We can’t keep on just borrowing from China,” Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. “We have […]

Pajamas Media Race 4 2012 American Issues Project American Power Libertarian Republican Bloggers, post links to five blogs you like and encourage your readers to take a look — and, yes, I came up with the idea of adapting this from Twitter and bringing […]

If you want to see a prime example of why the government isn’t competent enough to handle legislating what happens online, take a look at this story from the Charlotte Observer, RALEIGH N.C. House members overwhelmingly backed legislation Thursday that makes it a crime to bully a minor over the Internet. …The bill, which passed […]

It looks like Fox News used the information I made from my first video. I was quite pleased. Please enjoy the 2nd installment and rate on YouTube.

The scare-mongering continues Global warming is the biggest public health threat of the 21st century, eclipsing infectious diseases, water shortages and poverty, a team of medical and climate-change researchers concluded. Once they realized they would get some great grants for doing more studies! The phenomenon will be felt first in the developing world, further burdening […]

As regular readers of RWN know, I LOVE Obama/unicorn art. How can anyone not love it? Not only does it perfectly sum up Obama’s campaign, the way the media treats him, and the way his supporters view him, it’s just so cheesy & kitschy! It’s like a Jackie Chan movie had a love child with […]

Absent epochal events like 9/11, shifts in public opinion tend to happen very slowly, over a period of years and even decades. Because of this, when these changes reach a tipping point, they often catch us by surprise. One such surprise has just occurred with the news that More Americans (are) “Pro-Life” Than “Pro-Choice” for […]

Have y’all heard about the site Grade Gov? Because it is your turn to be heard TV, radio, Internet, and newspapers are filled with politicians talking at you. It’s time that they started listening to you. At GradeGov.com, you can send a grade to individual Members of Congress — an A, B, C, D, or […]

As a follow-up to John’s post “Why Does God Allow Bad Things To Happen To Good People?” I was asked to post a short story I wrote a few years ago. By the way, I’ve been looking for an illustrator to help me make this into a children’s book as well as a publisher who’d […]

…And there are always people sitting around going, “Oh, we have too many religious people in the Republican Party. ” You know what? The Democrat Party believes we have too many religious people in the Republican Party, too, and they’re working really hard to peel off a bunch of them. — Maggie Gallagher The mainstream […]
