5 Reasons Black Americans Should Give Up On The Democratic Party

Posted on September 13, 2011December 31, 2011 by John Hawkins

I grew up in the deep South and once, when I was going to high school, I went to a friend’s party. A couple dozen of us were hanging around downstairs, enjoying ourselves, when we found out that the father of the girl who was throwing the party wouldn’t let a kid into his house […]

Tea Party Debate Analysis: Who Won? Who Lost?

Posted on September 13, 2011September 15, 2011 by John Hawkins

Although it’s a bit strange to have CNN running a “Tea Party debate,” it did…and all in all, CNN did well, although there were some flaws. Could someone ask about Operation Fast and Furious? How about spending a little more time on illegal immigration since it’s an area where there are some real differences? Did […]

Why The Parties In DC Can’t Cooperate

Posted on September 12, 2011September 12, 2011 by John Hawkins

Yesterday, while I was out walking the dog, I had a neighbor ask me why the Republicans and Democrats in DC can’t cooperate. I explained it like so…. Getting the GOP and Democrats to work together would be like getting Adam Smith and Vladimir Lenin to put together a joint economic plan. In other words, […]

The Top 10 Best Quotes From Mark Steyn’s “After America: Get Ready for Armageddon”

Posted on September 12, 2011September 15, 2011 by John Hawkins

Mark Steyn’s After America: Get Ready for Armageddon is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. In fact, it was so good that there was no way I could do it justice in a single article. Last week, I posted The Top 10 Most Disturbing Statistics From Mark Steyn’s “After America: […]

The Courtney Messerschmidt Controversy

Posted on September 12, 2011September 12, 2011 by John Hawkins

This week-end, there was a bit of a rumpus involving one of RWN’s writers — Courtney Messerschmidt. A while back, I invited Courtney Messerschmidt from GrEaT sAtAn”S gIrLfRiEnD to write at RWN. She wrote conservative, foreign policy pieces, but I enjoyed her work mainly because it was so stylistically unique. She’d do a post on […]

10 Years After 9/11

Posted on September 11, 2011September 13, 2011 by John Hawkins

The problem with being a blogger on a day like today is that not only has it all been said before, in 10 years you’ve personally probably said it all before. So, on the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, what’s left to say? I can say that I haven’t forgotten about the attacks or forgiven […]

Raising Red Passes 250,000 On Facebook

Posted on September 9, 2011September 9, 2011 by John Hawkins

After Slatecard failed to take off during the last cycle, I got together with Charlie Smith and suggested that we create our own online fund raising vehicle from scratch so that conservatives could have a place online to contribute to Republican candidates for office. That was the day when Raising Red was born. Since then, […]

Get Off Jimmy Hoffa’s Back

Posted on September 9, 2011September 11, 2011 by John Hawkins

“The left *does* understand that it’ll pay for its post-Tucson demagoguery forever, yes?” — Allahpundit Did Jimmy Hoffa get caught up in a maelstrom not of his own making or what? He uses a little expressive rhetoric and next thing you know, every Tea Partier in America is up in arms because liberals got a […]

Herman Cain Sends Out The Best Press Release I’ve Seen In Years

Posted on September 9, 2011September 11, 2011 by John Hawkins

Most candidate press releases are filler that aren’t worth sending out or receiving. Every once in a while, the release says something memorable or includes some useful facts or figures that at least make it worth reading. But then, every once in a blue moon, a candidate sends out a press release that can best […]

Analysis Of Obama’s Speech: This Was His Jump The Shark Moment

Posted on September 9, 2011September 11, 2011 by John Hawkins

Obama is still suffering from the Speech Illusion, the idea that he can come down from the mountain, read from a Teleprompter, cast a magic spell with his words and climb back up the mountain, while we scurry around and do what he proclaimed. — Maureen Dowd This speech was classic Obama….which is exactly the […]

This Week In Quotes: Sept 2 – Sept 8

Posted on September 9, 2011September 9, 2011 by John Hawkins

And given that the (Social Security) worker-to-retiree ratio is expected to fall from 3-1 today to 2-1 in 2030 (down from 16-1 in 1950) these taxes will only go up unless the government decides to kick retirees in their dentures and slash benefits. — Shikha Dalmia (Obama) believes people are stupid, or at least not […]

Liveblogging Obama’s Speech

Posted on September 8, 2011September 9, 2011 by John Hawkins

* So now, we’re just about ready to get to Obama’s big jobs bill. He’s built this up to ridiculous levels and honestly, I think that was a mistake given the “Son of Stimulus” proposal he’s supposedly about to promote tonight. * There are multiple reasons why this was a mistake A) The stimulus is […]

Like RWN Has Been Telling You, Social Security Is A Ponzi Scheme

Posted on September 8, 2011September 8, 2011 by John Hawkins

As Michael Kinsley once famously said, “A gaffe is when a politician tells the truth.” Last night at the debate, Rick Perry told the truth about Social Security and although it’s not a gaffe in the conventional sense, you can expect to see both Republicans and Democrats who know he’s 100% right trying to spin […]

Shut The Hell Up About Knee Wrinkles Already!

Posted on September 8, 2011September 8, 2011 by John Hawkins

If you’re a woman, life is always a performance for a room full of excessively critical, impossibly picky critics. How do your clothes look? How about your make-up and shoes? Is your face botoxed smooth? Is your butt too big? Do you have any stretch marks? How about cellulite ? No matter what you do, […]

Posted on September 8, 2011September 12, 2011 by John Hawkins

Mark Steyn’s After America: Get Ready for Armageddon is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. In fact, it was so good that there was no way I could do it justice in a single article. So, instead I’m going to do two articles. The first is the top 10 most […]

Reagan Debate Analysis: Who Won? Who Lost?

Posted on September 8, 2011September 10, 2011 by John Hawkins

It’s intriguing that MSNBC actually asked less hostile, unfair and divisive questions than Fox did in the last debate — which is kind of funny if you think about it(although the one where they asked Perry how he could “sleep at night” was over-the-top, it was unintentionally hilarious). Additionally, its clear that the dynamic has […]

RWN blogger Lee Doren has a new ebook out. It’s called Please Enroll Responsibly: Avoiding Indoctrination at College. Enjoy my interview with Lee!

Firing A Chain Gun At A Giant Worm With Joe Biden’s Face Actually Sounds Like Fun

Posted on September 7, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

So, some liberal has put together a java game that allows you to mow down “Tea-Party zombies”. Good news: Angry liberals can now vicariously hunt down and kill the world’s most dangerous prey. No, not human beings; Tea Party Zombies. …These zombified targets include “generic pissed off old white guys,” Glenn Beck, a blood-drenched Sarah […]

Another TSA Agent Who Deserves To Be In A Jail Cell

Posted on September 7, 2011September 7, 2011 by John Hawkins

If you work for the TSA, you should be ashamed of yourself and your family should be ashamed of you. In other words, I hold people who work for the TSA in about the same esteem that I hold members of the Nazi party, Communist Party, or KKK. People get upset when I say things […]

7 Business Screw-Ups From America’s Super CEO-And-Chief Barack Obama

Posted on September 6, 2011December 31, 2011 by John Hawkins

I have developed the 7-11 challenge: I will quit making fun of, for example, Dennis Kucinich, if he can prove he can run a 7-11 properly for 8 hours. We’ll even let him have an hour or so of preparation before we open up. Within 8 hours, the money will be gone, the store will […]

Rick Perry Did A Townhall In Conway, SC….And I Missed All Of It

Posted on September 6, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

Congressman Tim Scott invited Rick Perry to a Townhall in Conway, SC. The event was held at Horry Georgetown Technical College, which I was unfamiliar with. Unfortunately, I had some GPS issues and instead of getting there 20 minutes early as I’d planned, I arrived at 10:00 AM on the dot. That was right when […]

* Liberals aren’t striving for future prosperity, they’re just trying to delay our day of reckoning for our debt until after they’re dead * Obama’s new hurricane prevention measure: He borrows trillions from China, hires unions to dump it in the ocean, & blames Bush when it fails * There’s nothing shameful about being poor.

“Find something you love to do so much that you’d do it for free and find a way to make it into a career.” — Anonymous I don’t know who came up with that quote, but it changed my life. You see, I’ve always been an ambitious person, but the only thing I knew for […]

Some Things Shouldn’t Be Shared With Your Facebook Pals: Like When You Commit A Murder

Posted on September 5, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

Some things just aren’t meant to be shared with your Facebook friends. Authorities have identified a 24-year-old woman found dead in a southeast Las Vegas apartment after her accused assailant called and told authorities where to find her. The Clark County coroner said Friday that Tiffany Batteate (bah-TEET’) was beaten and stabbed to death. Police […]
