The Koch Brothers Lay It Down: We’re Face-To-Face With Economic Doom

Posted on by John Hawkins

The current target of the Left’s “Two Minutes’ (of) Hate” are the Koch Brothers. It seems like there is a never ending stream of liberals demonizing them for…well, there’s never really a good excuse for it. That’s because the terrible crime that the Left hates them so much for is being rich guys who give […]

 

Iran’s “Forgotten” Revolution for Democracy Becomes a Genocide

Posted on by Jane Jamison

Update::  Persian2English: March 2, 2011 “Iran executes at least 20 people in one day The world is “happily” focused on the “new” revolutions and uprisings in Northern Africa and the Middle East, and blissfully ignoring warnings that these are actually “veiled” actions by radical Islamists who are waiting their turn to take over these countries.:  […]

 

The Chevy Volt Is A Piece Of Crap. Thank You, Government!

Posted on by John Hawkins

Now remind me again: Why have we been giving out $7500 tax credits to get people to buy hunks of automotive dog turd like the Chevy Volt? Oh, yeah, it’s because a bunch of eco-wackos and puffed up Democrats in Washington have decided that the future of cars in America is electric, so we’ve got […]

 

The Greatest Role of All: Motherhood, Feminism, and Natalie Portman

Posted on by Alexa Shrugged

Sunday night at the Oscars, Natalie Portman was giving her acceptance speech for Best Actress when she thanked “my beautiful love, Benjamin Millepied who choreographed the film and has now given me the most important role of my life” – motherhood.:  It was a beautiful moment, but this Salon writer, Mary Elizabeth Williams, found Portman’s […]

 

Left-Wing Group Takes Down Conservative Website — Petty Little Children Affecting Nothing

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left-wing Internet-based group calling itself “Anonymous” briefly took down the website of the conservative activist group Americans For Prosperity on Sunday, Feb. 27. Yet all the sturm und drang signifying… what? Me thinks that “Anonymous” is reading too many comic books. Amusingly, with the Denial of Service (DNS) attack “Anonymous” imagines themselves striking a […]

 

Government Employee Unions Undemocratic, Unfair, Unsustainable

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A lot has been said about the thuggish behavior of these teachers in Wisconsin and other union toughs across the country who have been caught on tape calling people Hitler and dictators, and attacking peaceful Tea Partiers. The behavior of union supporters has been ignorant to say the least. But as we’ve focused on the […]

 

CBS Names Its Palin-Supporting Character After Terrorist

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The CBS drama The Good Wife, a politically charged soap-opera-like series, is coming under fire for naming its Sarah Palin-boosting character after America’s most infamous domestic terrorist, Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. Matthew Vadum of the Washington-based Capital Research Center says that naming the character “McVeigh” conjures an unmistakable inference. “Calling a character ‘Kurt McVeigh’ […]

 

Fighting The TSA: Republicans Should Take A Hint From New Hampshire

Posted on by John Hawkins

The TSA’s strip and grope molestation of air travelers is demeaning, immoral, and a violation of the 4th Amendment prohibition on “unreasonable searches and seizures.” There’s no way that simply showing up at airport can be considered “probable cause” for some slack jawed goon to view someone naked or run his hands all over his/her […]

 

Obama Endorses The Violence, Threats, And Hitler Signs In Wisconsin Via Hilda Solis

Posted on by John Hawkins

Even though Barack Obama is a union puppet who moves whenever they pull his strings, after an initial statement, he’s tried to stay clear of the miasma of fleebaggers, violence, threats, and hostile rhetoric coming from the Left in Wisconsin. Not only is it embarrassing, what you have are union members fighting to continue bilking […]

 

Low-Flow Toilets Cause San Francisco Sewers to Back Up

Posted on by Dave Blount

When it comes to the fundamentals of civilized life — plumbing, for example — eco-moonbattery doesn’t come cheap: San Francisco’s big push for low-flow toilets has turned into a multimillion-dollar plumbing stink. Skimping on toilet water has resulted in more sludge backing up inside the sewer pipes, said Tyrone Jue, spokesman for the city Public […]

 

Whoops! People Who Buy Green Cars Drive More

Posted on by William Teach

The Law Of Unintended Liberal Policy Consequences has once again struck with a vengeance Sweden, that sustainability superstar, really prides itself on being “green.” It is one of the few countries to decouple CO2 emissions from economic growth. It has switched a huge portion of its heating away from fossil fuels (district heating). It’s the […]

 

Left Billionaire Pulls Strings in Wisconsin

Posted on by Unicorn Jones

Liberals in Wisconsin have been insisting – insisting – that by donating just under $50,000 to Scott Walker’s campaign, the libertarian-leaning billionaire Koch brothers have somehow managed to put everyone on the right under their dastardly control. Obviously, whenever anyone on the left joins in a protest, even if their slogans are conveniently similar and […]

 

Even The Brits Notice How Weak America Is Under Obama

Posted on by William Teach

Over at the UK Telegraph, Niles Gardiner does the heavy lifting in showing just how weak Obama’s foreign policy is The débacle of Washington’s handling of the Libya issue is symbolic of a wider problem at the heart of the Obama administration’s foreign policy. The fact that it took ten days and at least a […]

 

The 7 Greatest Scientific Achievements Of The Last 50 Years

Posted on by John Hawkins

We human beings tend to forget how far we’ve come as a species in a relatively short period of time. In the 1870’s, we had the first house that was lighted with electricity. Cars just started to become available 100 years ago. Charles Lindbergh made the first transatlantic flight in 1927. Televisions didn’t become widely […]

 

It’s entirely possible that, when it comes to gay marriage and the First Amendment, pluralism won’t work.

Posted on by Bookworm

Rodney King got his 15 minutes of fame for (a) getting beaten up while resisting arrest; (b) having his name attached to some horrific riots; and (c) plaintively asking “Can we get along?” The last is a great thought. I’d like to get along with people better myself. “Getting along,” though, presupposes that people have […]

 

Life in the nanny state

Posted on by Bookworm

I was reading Rick Steves’ Italy 2011 (the 2010) version, when I was surprised to learn this little fact on page 21: Because Europeans are generally careful with energy use, you’ll find government-enforced limits on air-conditioning and heating. There’s a one-month period each spring and fall when neither is allowed. For those of us in […]

 

New Tone: After Budget Vote, Wis. Democrat Tells Fellow Rep. ‘You Are F***ing Dead’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Democrat’s “new tone” rolls ever onward… into the ditch. After the latest vote on the Budget Repair Bill last Friday, Democrat State Representative Gordon Hintz (54th District) turned to fellow Representative Michelle Litjens (R, 56th District) and said: “You are F***ing Dead!” Nice “new tone,” isn’t it? But it fits well with his pals […]

 

Eco-NutMobile to Tour USA

Posted on by Dave Blount

Apparently advertisers haven’t gotten the word that most of us have been fed to the teeth with the politically correct eco-craze. The greenwashing of every imaginable product continues. Now Planters wants us to associate eating peanuts with saving the polar bears from their imaginary plight: A new peanut-shaped NutMobile is the latest in the line […]

 

Homosexual Brainwashing on the Battlefield in Afghanistan

Posted on by Dave Blount

Due largely to absurd rules of engagement that tie their hands and a “Commander in Chief” who is uncomfortable with the concept of victory, our troops in Afghanistan have been left hanging in the wind. They aren’t allowed to win, but they can’t come home either, because admitting defeat before the 2012 election would make […]

 

Paul Krugman: There’s A “Virtual Blackout” On Wisconsin News Coverage

Posted on by William Teach

No, seriously, and it gives him “That Iraq Feeling” I don’t watch cable news, or actually any kind of TV news. But I gather that there’s a virtual blackout on the huge demonstrations in Wisconsin, except on Fox, which portrays them as thuggish and violent. So, wait, wait, he doesn’t watch any TV news, yet, […]

 

AFL-CIO Union Chief: We Need to Raise Taxes to Pay Union Members More

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

You know the old saying, “stupid is as stupid does”? Enter the AFL-CIO’s Richard Trumka, one of the most violence prone union presidents in America, who has come up with a brilliant strategy to solve America’s troubles. He says we need to raise taxes to pay his union members even higher salaries and we need […]

 

Mitch Daniels Explains Himself Well… But Having to is a Problem

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels once again did a fine job explaining himself over his recent seemingly controversial opposition to introducing any right to work laws in Indiana. Turns out he really isn’t that opposed to it, but he sure seemed to be against the idea a few days ago. He has since said his opposition […]

 

Kinzinger Calls for Serious Efforts to Address the Budget

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This is about newly elected Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger, but the points pertain to the whole situation in Congress, so I thought it might be of interest and that I’d post it to RWN anyway. Last week I wondered aloud if Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R, 11th District) was going against his claims of being […]
