John Hawkins Vs. Robert Reich On The Stimulus. I Was Right And He Was Wrong Then — And Now.

Posted on by John Hawkins

When Barack Obama was originally pushing his ginormous stimulus bill, like many conservatives, I pointed out that it wasn’t going to work. Among other things, I noted history has shown that stimulus bills of this sort don’t get the economy moving, I pointed out that there wasn’t even that much Keynesian stimulus in the bill:  […]

* American saying: Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight. New flotilla saying update: Don’t bring a steel pipe to a gunfight. * When you swing a lead pipe at an Israeli commando, you’re a combatant, not a civilian.

I believe the federal government should use its legal resources to fight illegal immigration, not the State of Arizona. — Jan Brewer Over the last few weeks I’ve watched, as we all have, with growing horror and heartache, watching what’s happening in the Gulf and thinking those morons don’t know what they’re doing. — James […]

In Defense Of Linda McMahon

Posted on by John Hawkins

Over at National Review, Rich Lowry — whom : I agree with 95% of the time — wrote a piece about senatorial candidate Linda McMahon with a little too much tut-tutting at her for her role in the WWE: If decency means nothing, McMahon is the businesswoman par excellence. …Linda McMahon says that she was primarily […]

A Short Defense Of…Al Gore?

Posted on by John Hawkins

I don’t know why Tipper and Al Gore have split:  after 40 years of marriage and honestly, I hope we don’t find out. The “celebrity break-up” where the former couple or their friends leak dirt to gossip rags for money and attention is one of the more sickening spectacles of the modern age. On the […]

 

Bill Maher: “Real” Black Men Are Thugs

Posted on by John Hawkins

Despite portraying themselves as champions of minorities, liberal disdain for black Americans continually seeps through. Why do liberals back Affirmative Action? Because they believe black Americans are too stupid and inferior to compete with white Americans without help. Why did liberals love referring to Bill Clinton as “the first black President?” Because liberals look at […]

Comparison: Liberal Reaction Vs. Conservative Reaction To The Israel/Flotilla Story

Posted on by John Hawkins

Honestly, I don’t find the Palestinian people to be the least bit sympathetic. They’re backwards, genocidal, hyper-violent, sad sack Nazi wannabes led by terrorists who would happily murder every Jew on the planet if they could get away with it. Then there are the Israelis. They’re a tiny Western:  democracy surrounded by backwards savages who […]

 

Introducing RWN’s Daily Links

Posted on by John Hawkins

Back in the day, Right Wing News used to have links. However, eventually I dropped them and created Linkiest instead. Linkiest has been a smash success — it’s had more traffic than RWN 2 out of the last 3 weeks — but, I have missed having links on RWN. So, starting today, there will be […]

 

Amnesty Or Doing Nothing: Why Are Those Our Only Options?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Over at the WAPO, they’ve done an incredibly dishonest editorial about immigration that unfortunately mirrors so much of the debate, EVEN DRACONIAN measures like the one adopted in Arizona are not going to make 11 million immigrants already illegally here in this country magically disappear, let alone address this country’s dysfunctional immigration system. Neither is […]

This Week In Quotes: May 21 — May 27

Posted on by John Hawkins

Every murderous totalitarian government of the 20th century began with some insulated group of faux-intellectuals congratulating each other on how smart they are, and fantasizing about how, if they could just install a dictatorship-for-a-day, they could right all the wrongs in the world. It is the ultimate fantasy of the narcissist. And we’ve got whole […]

 

That’s One Palinriffic Fence!

Yesterday at Right Wing News, I wrote the following about the stalker/journalist who moved in next to Sarah Palin, Here’s a thought: Build a fence taller than the rented house, knock it out in a week, and then hold a press conference in front of it asking why the federal government can’t do the same […]
