BREAKING: Murkowski Concedes in Alaska

Posted on August 31, 2010August 31, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Another one of Mitch McConnell’s favorites just went down in flames as Senator Lisa Murkowski just bowed to Alaska’s new GOP candidate for Senate, Joe Miller. Miller is far more conservative than Murkowski who was vying for the Ted Stevens award for pork. As the New York Times says… Mr. Miller shocked the political establishment […]

Obama Ends Operation Iraqi Freedom

Posted on August 31, 2010 by Donald Douglas

Follow up to John’s essay: “My Short, Obligatory Obama Speech Review.” *********** I anticipated the president’s address in my previous post, “President Barack Obama Claims Credit on Iraq War.” I can’t add too much here, except to reiterate that I’m ashamed at Obama’s political posturing. I’m ashamed at Obama’s political opportunism, and I wish for […]

My Short, Obligatory Obama Speech Review

Posted on August 31, 2010August 31, 2010 by John Hawkins

It was appropriate for Obama to give a speech to announce the end of combat operations in Iraq. It was also worth noting that he gave a kind word to President Bush, although of course, it was part of a backhanded compliment he was paying to himself, As we do, I am mindful that the […]

What Barry and Bush Talked About Today (Comic)

Posted on August 31, 2010August 31, 2010 by Duane Lester

President Barack Obama telephoned President George Bush today. The White House won’t disclose what was talked about, but this might be accurate. Cross posted at All American Blogger.

A Maddening Day

Posted on August 31, 2010 by Kathleen McKinley

Some days you just want to scream. The Arizona law is overwhelmingly popular with the American people. It mirrors federal law, and the only reason Arizona needs the law is because the federal government refuses to do it’s job. But now the Obama administration is using the law to say to the international community, “Hey, […]

Amnesty Is Already Happening

Posted on August 31, 2010 by Dave Blount

Our leftist rulers are starting to figure out that they can’t impose their radical agenda openly without paying a heavy political price, as they will for ham-fistedly seizing control of the healthcare industry. This is why their major initiatives are now imposed in the shadows, by faceless bureaucrats rather than legislation. Granting amnesty to tens […]

Animal Rights Terrorists Set Loose 50,000 Minks

Posted on August 31, 2010August 31, 2010 by Dave Blount

Righteous guardians of animal welfare have struck again: Police say break-ins at two fur farms have set more than 50,000 minks on the loose in northern Greece. Now the 50,000 minks can live happily ever after. Or maybe not: The National Fur Breeders’ Association says most of the released animals are likely to die in […]

Sure Mike Castle Drools And Christine O’Donnell Rules, But Can She Win?

Posted on August 31, 2010August 31, 2010 by John Hawkins

My philosophy is that conservatives should generally support the most conservative candidate who can be elected in a particular state. So, if you have a RINO who has a 95% chance of winning in a primary with a conservative who has a 50% chance of winning, I’ll take the conservative candidate every time. Sure, you […]

The Right Needs to Wake up to Net Neutrality

Posted on August 31, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

If you are as worried as I am about the left’s effort to force ever larger amounts of big government onto our lives, then you should be looking into the issue of Net Neutrality. To that end I’ll be posting some links and info about Net Neutrality to help you all get your feet wet […]

Simple Questions: If Tea Parties Are Racist Because The People Attending Are Mostly White….

Posted on August 31, 2010August 31, 2010 by John Hawkins

* Are newsrooms racist because they’re mostly white? * Is Kos’ Netroots Nation racist because it’s mostly white? * Are the Senate Democrats racist because their caucus is mostly white? * If the crowd at an opera is mostly white, does that make it racist? * How about a rap concert? Is Jay-Z a racist […]

Unions hire non-union protesters?

Posted on August 31, 2010 by Lee Doren

The Competitive Enterprise Institute just shot a very interesting video. It appears that Unions are now hiring non-union picketers to protest on their behalf. Watch the video and you be the judge.

Renee Ellmers Moneybomb: Can You Donate Today?

Posted on August 31, 2010August 31, 2010 by John Hawkins

Not only is Renee Ellmers an outstanding congressional candidate with a fantastic chance to take Bob Etheridge’s seat in November, she has been a real friend to Right Wing News. She has done four guest posts so far and she gave her first written response to Bob Etheridge’s infamous video here at Right Wing News. […]

The Arrogance of The Public Employee Union Member

Posted on August 31, 2010August 30, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

In a recent story detailing the efforts of 3,000 postal employee union members marching against USPS management in Detroit, one quote by a union member stuck me as wholly emblematic of the arrogance of government employee union members and it shows the disconnect between the real world and the cushy world of government workers. As […]

IPCC Slammed For Lies As IPCC Readies For Conference In The Exotic Vacation Spot Of Cancun

Posted on August 31, 2010August 31, 2010 by William Teach

Hey, you know, climate creationists work hard to invent their scarefests to light, making them up the same way Freddy Krueger and Jason Vorhees were fictional inventions A high-level inquiry into the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found there was “little evidence” for its claims about global warming. It also said the panel had emphasised […]

CNN’s Zakaria Presents Hezbollah as a Model of Religious Tolerance

Posted on August 31, 2010August 30, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Remembering that CNN’s President Jon Klein has touted its down-the-middle coverage and claims it is situated in the “center” of American politics, on a recent episode of Fareed Zakaria GPS, host Zakaria tried to claim that Lebanon’s terror group Hezbollah was some sort of model for religious tolerance. Someone should inform CNN that claiming Hezbollah […]

Everything You “Know” About The Right Is Wrong: 7 Myths About Conservatives

Posted on August 31, 2010September 19, 2010 by John Hawkins

This country has been successful not only because of the innate decency, creativity, and independence of the American people, but because of Christianity, capitalism, and conservatism. Unfortunately, all too often these days, conservatives spend the majority of our time correcting myths, misinformation, and misrepresentations about the movement instead of explaining our principles to people. That’s […]

ACLU Sues Obama Over Targeted Killing Orders

Posted on August 31, 2010 by William Teach

That would be the headline, with a change to one word, were Bush still president, rather than the generic “U.S.” used by Bloomberg News. Anyhow, the ACLU is having their typical hissy fit, and doing their darned best to protect terrorists The American Civil Liberties Union sued the U.S. government over an alleged policy of […]

New Film ‘Machete’: Cynical Exploitation of America’s Racial Troubles

Posted on August 31, 2010August 30, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

The new film Machete is born of a joke. No, really. In 2006 when Quentin Tarantino was gearing up for his double feature movie experience Grindhouse, he solicited other directors and even the fans to make fake trailers for bad 70’s exploitation moves. These trailers were shown between the two features in a takeoff of […]

It’s Joe Miller Time!

Posted on August 31, 2010August 31, 2010 by Melissa Clouthier

Little Old Big arse Alaska once again takes the spot light. A national drama unfolds on the state level and all eyes watch. There is a subtext in the Murkowski verses Miller primary: Incumbent versus Tea Party Establishment versus grassroots Palin versus D.C. This race and the many other Republican Senatorial races mean so much […]

Why True Conservatism And Libertarianism Are Natural Allies: Restoring Honor And Shrinking Government

Posted on August 30, 2010 by Melissa Clouthier

Some libertarians watched the Beck rally with skepticism and more than a little loathing. The God thing is just too much. Reason’s Nick Gillespies’ bemused reporting from the Mall made me smile. Libertarians have looked for small government and fiscally responsible candidates, and they seem alarmed that many of the folks who preach this religion […]

When The Left Is Watched: Racism!

Posted on August 30, 2010 by Melissa Clouthier

Organizing for America, ACORN and whatever new name and incarnation of these Democrat groups may be blame Republicans for the recent fire burning down the building with voting machines in Houston, Texas. Of course, the accusation is patently false. What is more interesting to me is this reported by Brad Jackson: Smith didn’t stop with […]

Newspeak Dictionary Update

Posted on August 30, 2010August 30, 2010 by Dave Blount

Compliments of J. Please disregard the directive above. The criminal colonists invading our country and helping to reduce it to a Third World hellhole are now to be called Economic Migrants. The liberal Guardian reports on the fun in northern Mexico that has already begun to spill over the resolutely undefended border: The body of […]

EPA Backs Off on Second Amendment Attack

Posted on August 30, 2010 by Dave Blount

There is no limit to the tyranny our liberal rulers would like to impose on us. However, there are limits to what they can get away with, and they know it. An attempt to repeal the Second Amendment through a ban on lead ammunition by the fascists infesting the EPA has been abandoned: In a […]

The Secret Behind Those Big Conspiracy Poll Numbers

Posted on August 30, 2010August 30, 2010 by John Hawkins

As someone who has been fighting conspiracy theories on the net for years, there’s a particular trend that has caught my eye. After a conspiracy theory reaches maturity and becomes widely known, it’s not unusual to see polls show that 30-40% of the population buys into it. That has been true of the birther argument […]

My Thoughts On The “Restoring Honor” Rally

Posted on August 30, 2010 by Kathleen McKinley

I was taking a “wait and see” approach to Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally in D.C. this past Saturday. Happily, it was pretty much what I expected. Beck has become deeply religious in the past decade, after hitting rock bottom in his life as a drug addict many years ago. He knows what it is […]

Barrack Obama: Smearing America Worldwide

Posted on August 30, 2010August 30, 2010 by John Hawkins

Apparently having an honest bone in your body, a slice of human decency, or an ounce of shame are disqualifiers if you want a job at the White House. Just look at the sickening, anti-American toadying they’re engaged in now Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer demanded Friday that a reference to the state’s controversial immigration law […]

Frank Rich’s Tea Party Lies

Posted on August 30, 2010August 30, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Frank Rich’s column in the New York Times opinion section today was at the very least two things: Lies and the rehashed work of another writer. But it was also a third thing and that third thing was cover for his buddy in the Oval office and for the hard-core left-wing agenda he’s trying to […]

What If They Held A Climate Creationist Event, And No One Came?

Posted on August 30, 2010August 30, 2010 by William Teach

Poor little climate creationists, they are truly suffering. After all their histrionics, after pouring their hearts and souls into unhinged talking points, they have to admit they’re losing On Thursday, some of the country’s most respected environmental groups – in the midst of their biggest political fight in two decades – sent a group of […]

Miss. School: Only White Students can be Class Prez, Only Blacks Vice Prez

Posted on August 30, 2010August 30, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

In Mississippi, Nettleton Middle School is finally doing away with its policy of portioning school class officer positions by race. As the policy stood before this month, the student officer positions were set up so that if you wanted to run for eighth grade class president you had to be white while if you wanted […]

USA Today Tries To Provide Shelter For Obama And Dems On Stimulus

Posted on August 30, 2010 by William Teach

With the mid-term elections fast approaching, and the blood-bath that should occur, the Credentialed Media is doing all they can to prop Obama and the Democrats up, especially regarding the economy. They try pithy things like Economists agree: Stimulus created nearly 3 million jobs in order to show that Democrats have actually Done Something. Of […]
