The Right Wing News Fundraiser: Good News And Bad News

Posted on by John Hawkins

Yesterday, I talked about the fundraiser RWN is doing this week: I’ve decided that I need to up the revenue that RWN is bringing in. The simplest and easiest way to do that would be to start running more obtrusive advertising. I’m referring to auto-play video ads, pop-unders, and interstitial ads. These ads are becoming […]

 

7 Non-Political Differences Between Liberals and Conservatives

Posted on by John Hawkins

People who don’t follow politics tend to believe that conservatives and liberals are just flip sides of the same coin. In other words, conservatives are pro-life, pro-gun, and fiscally conservative while liberals are pro-choice, anti-gun, and want to tax and spend, but otherwise, there are no real differences. However, if you follow politics closely, you’ll […]

 

Interviewing Thomas Sowell On Basic Economics

Posted on by John Hawkins

Late last year, I wrote a column for Townhall called 10 Life Changing Books To Give This Christmas. One of those books is Thomas Sowell’s Basic Economics 4th Ed: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy. Note the “4th Ed” part. That’s relevant because the book has recently been re-released. If you want a phenomenal, […]

 

If Kermitt Gosnell’s a Monster, He’s Not Alone

Posted on by John Hawkins

Kermitt Gosnell, the murderous abortionist who killed a patient and slaughtered seven babies under the approving eye of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, was quite the butcher. Here’s a brief description of what was going on in his office, The clinic reeked of animal urine, courtesy of the cats that were allowed to roam (and […]

 

Why Mittcare Makes Mitt Romney An Ineffective Presidential Candidate

Posted on by John Hawkins

It’s no secret that I take a very dim view of Mitt Romney . If you want to know why, here’s a 2007 piece I wrote called The Conservative Case Against Mitt Romney. Still, back in 2007, I generally considered Romneycare to be a political positive for Mitt. Mitt should be talking health care all […]

 

10 Year Anniversary Post: The Best Of 10 Years Of RWN Humor

Posted on by John Hawkins

I started Right Wing News back in January of 2001 and as of the first of this year, I’ve been running the page for 10 long years. During that time, I’ve pumped out a lot of great content and I’m going to be posting a little of the “best of” material this month. Today will […]

 

Michael Moore: Is He Afraid Of Black People?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Have you ever noticed that liberals tend to just exempt themselves from the universal criticism that they aim at other people? There are lots of examples of this. How about Al Gore going on and on about global warming while he pumps out greenhouse gasses like there’s no tomorrow with his mansion and lifestyle? What […]

 

Socialism And Speaking Spanish In America Via FCC Decree

Posted on by John Hawkins

The federal government shouldn’t be allowed to put conditions like this on a merger, “Comcast will make available to approximately 2.5 million low income households: (i) high-speed Internet access service for less than $10 per month; (ii) personal computers, netbooks, or other computer equipment at a purchase price below $150? and “we require Comcast-NBCU to […]

 

4 Reasons The GOP Vote To Repeal Obamacare Isn’t Just Symbolic

Posted on by John Hawkins

Yesterday, the House voted 245 to 189 to repeal the job-killing Obamacare bill. Is this bill going to pass the Senate? It seems unlikely. Even if it did, would Obama veto it? Yes. So, this vote is not going to actually lead to the repeal of the job-killing, death-panel-creating government takeover of health care. That […]

 

There Will Be No Apologies For Using “Crosshairs” At RWN

Posted on by John Hawkins

If irony was made out of ice cream, we’d all be eating Banana Splits right now. CNN, the same network that hosted “Crossfire” for more than two decades, has apologized because a guest used the word “Crosshairs.” Yes, really…. CNN’s John King: “Before we go to break, I want to make a quick point. We […]

 

Glenn Greenwald: Obama Has Won The War On Terror Debate — For The American Right

Posted on by John Hawkins

Want to read a super sized serving of utter crow eating hilarity? Then, you don’t need to go any farther than this post by Glenn Greenwald, which may very well have been penned with a mixture of ink and his own sweet, sweet tears. Can you imagine how much it must have rankled Greenwald to […]

 

A Different Way To Answer The Question, “Do You Think People Are Inherently Good?”

Posted on by John Hawkins

The people who answer the question in the title affirmatively, tend to do so for a simple reason: If the answer is no and people aren’t inherently good, then that must mean that we’re inherently evil. That’s a difficult proposition for people to swallow, not only about themselves, but perhaps more significantly, about their children. […]

 

Understanding How The Left Thinks: It’s Not About What’s True; It’s About Who’s On Offense

Posted on by John Hawkins

One of the things you’ll learn in dealing with the professional Left is that they have absolutely no ethics whatsoever when it comes to dealing with conservatives. They’re perfectly content to smear us, lie about us, or silence us in any way that they can get away with. It’s very much an “end justifies the […]

 

5 Pieces Of Common Liberal Rhetoric Designed To Incite Violence

Posted on by John Hawkins

Since Jared Lee Loughner went on his rampage in Tucson, we’ve been treated to perfectly ridiculous liberal howling about “violent rhetoric.” The reason it’s “perfectly ridiculous” is that “liberals being liberals,” they’ve tackled the whole debate in such a politically correct manner that it makes the debate laughable. According to liberals, what words supposedly incite […]

The Trade-Off: Should We Commit Mentally Unstable People?

Posted on by John Hawkins

“There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs.” — Thomas Sowell James Lee Lougher, the shooter in the Tucscon massacre, was a scary dude and a lot of people knew he had serious issues before he went on a rampage. After he was accused of shooting 20 people last Saturday, school officials described his behavior […]

 

Naming Names: Some Of The Liberals Who Were Overjoyed About The Tucson Shooting

Posted on by John Hawkins

Sadly, there have always been mentally disturbed people who’ve acted out violently. Sometimes it’s against their families, at their jobs, schools, places of employment — and sometimes it’s against famous targets. Most people, when they hear about events of this sort, feel sorrow for the senseless loss of innocent life. We wonder why God allows […]

 

The Tucscon Memorial Service: The Sick Reaction Of The Crowd

Posted on by John Hawkins

The Tucscon Memorial Service was a grotesque event. It was not grotesque because it was on television, although I’m not entirely sure why it was televised. It was not grotesque because inexplicably, it seems like politician after politician was speaking. To their credit, everyone including Barack Obama, gave speeches that seemed to be entirely appropriate […]

 

Words That Are Too Dangerous To Be Used Anymore Starting With Job “Killing”

Posted on by John Hawkins

Super Genius Chellie Pingree, Congresswoman (D-ME), has spotted a potential danger: A word that could lead to MURDER. Save us, congresswoman, save us! A good place to start a more civil dialog would be for my Republican colleagues in the House to change the name of the bill they have introduced to repeal health care […]
