Some people would have you believe that Bush lied about Iraq’s WMDs. I believe that they’re the ones attempting to mislead the American people about how our intelligence agencies work. Unanimity among all members of every intelligence agency on anything is the exception, not the rule. So today, to try to go back and cherry […]

Margaret Thatcher once wrote, “Whether it is in the United States or in mainland Europe, written constitutions have one great weakness. That is that they contain the potential to have judges take decisions which should properly be made by Democratically elected politicians.” Today, that “great weakness” is being exploited by gay advocates and judicial activists […]

August 1st, 1944 After one of the bloodiest months of fighting in Europe, House Republican leaders called for all United States forces to be withdrawn from Europe. “This is a quagmire,” said one house member. “There is no evidence whatsoever that Nazi Germany had any connection to the attacks of 12/07 and fighting with Germany […]

It’s becoming increasingly apparent that our friends in Europe do not fully understand the ramifications of Sept 11th. As a favor to our allies, I think I should do my best to present things from the American perspective before the nations of Europe do something that we will all regret. While Americans do view Europe […]

One year ago today in an attack unprecedented in the history of humankind, 19 terrorists murdered almost 3000 Americans. There will be many memorials today to the innocent men and women who died on 9/11. The husbands who never came home to their wives, the mothers who never looked into the faces of their children […]

Many of the same people on the left who snickered when Bush included North Korea in the ‘Axis of Evil’ are now frantic about the threat that North Korea presents, or at least they’re pretending to be. So they’re demanding that Bush forget all about that “Iraq thing” and focus all of his energy on […]

Because I regularly read through offbeat websites in order to compile new editions of “Anyone can post on the internet“, I get a lot of opportunities to peruse the latest crackpot conspiracy theories. During any given week I may read about Planet X, the Illuminati / Free Mason / Jewish / (take your pick) plot […]

“Eye on the Left:: How significantly did the events of September 11th and the recent war with Iraq impact the general public’s view of blogs and bloggers? John Hawkins:: Perhaps more journalists and a few more hard core news junkies discovered blogs because of 9/11 or the war in Iraq, but I don’t think 99% of the […]

On Veterans Day, I noticed that more than a few left-wing websites decided it was an opportune time to break out the “chickenhawks” slur again. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the word or who associate it with its more vulgar meaning, when the left uses the term, they are generally referring to […]

There are those who say we can’t help Iraq become a Democracy; they’re wrong. They say we should pull out; they’re mistaken. They claim it’s pointless to continue, but they have no sense of history or perspective. To those who say… A lot of Iraqis have soured on the occupation and don’t like American troops!:Gee, […]

Lately, it seems that not a day can pass without Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore, John Kerry and their ideological soul mates in the mainstream media making acerbic comments about how the Bush administration has handled the war on terrorism. For those of us who disagree with them, it is easy enough to “attack […]

Michael Jackson is perhaps the sickest, most ridiculous freakshow walking the planet today. He’s a human fairy tale that with a moral that goes “this is how far out of touch with reality you can get when you become a celebrity.” Jackson has literally been a star since he was a young child. He was […]

All across the world people saw Saddam’s statue being pulled down in Firdos Square & the wild euphoria in the street that followed. In much of the Western world, this event is being compared to the fall of the Berlin Wall. But, according to the Western media, things looked different through Arab eyes. We’re being […]

On 9/11, 2001 America was attacked, and not for the first time by an implacable and radical enemy bent on our destruction. There is no negotiating with the likes of Al-Qaeda, there can only be a global knife fight that will end with either Western civilization or the terrorists & their allies face down, breathing […]

Yesterday I was talking to a friend of mine about Saddam Hussein and she said in part, FOH:: …I just don’t agree with being lied to in order to take (Saddam) out. John Hawkins:: What lie do you think you were told? FOH:: That we were in imminent danger of being destroyed by weapons of mass destruction. My […]

The first rule of the internet — the very first one — is, “Don’t believe everything you hear.” That seems simple enough, doesn’t it?. After all, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that something you receive in an email, see on a message board, or read on a web page […]

One day after the death of Ronald Reagan, I can’t help but think back to that quote by Flaubert, “Language is like a cracked kettle on which we beat our tunes to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” How do you explain the totality of Ronald Reagan […]

Again and again, the United States has been given reasons why we better not go after the terrorist groups and the regimes that support them. You probably know them as well I do by now: Europe, the UN, and the Muslim world won’t support us, the Muslim ‘street’ will rise up against us, we’ve got […]

Some disreputable people have suggested that Right Wing News is for the ‘war on terrorism’ or that we’re ‘biased against liberals.’ What scandalous accusations! The truth is that we here at Right Wing News view ourselves as a ‘fair and balanced’ publication — just like ‘Arab News’ or ‘The Guardian’! But talk is cheap! That’s […]

One of the stock questions I sometimes ask in interviews is, “Theoretically, let’s say you could get any five pieces of legislation passed that you wanted. These could either bills that are already in the pipeline in Congress or that you could write yourself. What pieces of legislation would you pass?” Well, I decided to […]
