Posted on by John Hawkins

When Rupert Murdoch announced that he intended to charge a subscription fee for his papers, some of us predicted that it was going be rough sailing for him. But, I guess some people just have to hit the iceberg to learn. Here’s what I wrote back in May of last year, According to Rupert Murdoch, […]

 

Respectfully, I Have To Disagree With My Friend Erick Erickson On The Mike Castle Vs. Christine O’Donnell…

Posted on by John Hawkins

…race in Delaware. Now, I wasn’t planning to write a third post about this issue, but this gets into one of my pet peeves: Ultimately, You don’t change the country for the better by losing elections. Being conservative is not enough. To put conservative principles into action, we have to get people elected to office. […]

 

RWN’s Interview With GOProud’s Christopher Barron

Posted on by John Hawkins

As you may know, GOProud is the only gay conservative organization out there and they’re doing a NYC fund raiser, featuring Ann Coulter, called Homocon. Right Wing News is sponsoring the event. Naturally, this has generated a lot of controversy, so I decided to interview Christopher Barron, the chairman of GOProud, talk about the whole […]

 

Race Hustling Apparently Doesn’t Pay As Well As It Used To…

Posted on by John Hawkins

Some “Summer of recovery.” Al Sharpton is one of America’s most successful shakedown artists and even he can’t pay his bills. An accounting firm hired by Al Sharpton’s National Action Network found the civil-rights group in such financial disarray that it flunked its record-keeping — and may not even survive, The Post has learned. …The […]

 

Mike Castle Vs. Christine O’Donnell: How I Decide Which Candidate To Support In A Primary

Posted on by John Hawkins

The Mike Castle vs. Christine O’Donnell primary is getting people all tied up in knots. You see, Delaware is a tiny, liberal state. Democrats have a 44% to 32% advantage in party registration, Obama has a 55% approval rating there, and there hasn’t been a Republican in the Senate there for almost 40 years. Because […]

 

25 Reasons to Send the Democrats Packing in November

Posted on by John Hawkins

1) Remember the stimulus bill? Republicans strongly opposed it and said it wouldn’t work. Democrats said it would revive the economy and keep unemployment under 8 percent. So, what happened? Democrats shoved through a bill that cost $1.1 trillion when you add in the interest. It cost more than the Marshall Plan, the Louisiana Purchase, […]

 

The NAACP Should Disband If This Is All They Have To Complain About

Posted on by John Hawkins

It’s not a secret that the once great NAACP has become little more than a generally useless left-wing organization that works to gin up and amplify racial strife for fun, profit, and political rewards. Unfortunately for the NAACP, America’s not a racist country any more, so it often has to REALLY stretch to find things […]

 

“The American People Are Acting Like A Bunch Of Spoiled Brats”?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Ever notice that the mainstream media only accuses the public of acting like “spoiled brats” or of “throwing a temper tantrum” when liberals get tossed out of office? For example, did you hear anyone in the MSM complaining about the public being angry, irrational, and childish when they voted Republicans out of office in 2006 […]

Posted on by John Hawkins

(This is a special double edition since I was attending Defending the American Dream and Beck’s Restoring Honor rally last week) I don’t know really how all of this is going to shake out. I do know that organizations like Tea Party Express and the RNC and National Republican Trust and all the other cash-raising […]

 

James Lee Is The Environmentalist Movement’s Scott Roeder

Posted on by John Hawkins

Unfortunately, there are dangerous kooks, trigger-happy wackos, and lone gunmen out there. Bad people exist. Crazy people exist — and every so often, one of them snaps and there’s a resulting body count. To most people, this is just a tragic fact of life. However, to liberals in the media who are forever baffled by […]

The Right Side Of The Blogosphere’s Reaction To Obama’s Speech Last Night

Posted on by John Hawkins

All in all, the only person on the Right that I found who seemed to like the speech was Bill Kristol — and he didn’t exactly heap rainbows, faeries, and fluffy unicorn bellyscratches on it either. That being said, it’s also worth noting that while the reviews were almost universally negative, they weren’t all that […]

 

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

Posted on 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 […]

* 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?

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

Posted on 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 […]

 

The Secret Behind Those Big Conspiracy Poll Numbers

Posted on 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 […]

 

Barrack Obama: Smearing America Worldwide

Posted on 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 […]

 

The Defending The American Dream 2010 / Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally Picture Dump (41 Pics)

The Enquirer: Michelle Is Angry At Barack For Going On A Date With Oprah

Posted on by John Hawkins

Although I’ve been working the tabloid beat on and off for years, I’ve gotten away from it a bit over the last few months. Still, sometimes there’s a story that’s just so compelling, it just drags you back in. This story, on the front of the Enquirer, is a great example of what I mean… […]
