So, Who Was Right On Illegal Immigration?

Posted on May 3, 2010May 3, 2010 by John Hawkins

Long before the GOP alienated: its : base, killed: its : fundraising, tore the party apart, and sealed: its : doom in the 2008 elections by backing yet another amnesty bill in 2007, conservatives like me were begging them, pleading with them, to take a security first position. Why? It made sense. It was popular with the general […]

Welcome To Debtor’s Hell: Greece Edition

Posted on May 3, 2010May 3, 2010 by John Hawkins

In order to keep the deadbeats in Greece from going down the tubes, defaulting on their debt, and creating a huge new economic tsunami, their fellow Western European nations are going to pony up more than 100 billion Euros. The scary news? Number one, it may not work over the long haul. Number two, it […]

The Best Quotes From Saul Alinsky’s “Rules For Radicals.”

Posted on May 3, 2010May 28, 2018 by John Hawkins

Ironically, one of the hottest new books for conservatives is far left-winger Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, which was written way back in 1971. After reading the book, my personal opinion is that Alinsky was a brilliant yet cynical, habitually dishonest, utterly amoral human being with a deep understanding of large swathes of human nature.

New York Is Moving In The Right Direction On Organ Transplants

Posted on April 30, 2010April 30, 2010 by John Hawkins

Today in this country, there are more than 200,000 people waiting for an organ transplant. Many of these people will wait for years, bed ridden, ill, and a significant percentage of them will die without ever receiving the organ they needed to lead a normal life. There is no practical reason that this problem still […]

RWN’s New Comment System Is In Place

Posted on April 30, 2010April 30, 2010 by John Hawkins

I expected to have RWN’s comment section changed over to Disqus last week-end, but best laid plans of mice and men and all that. In any case, the changeover is now complete. Disqus is: : completely different from: the: in-house/word press hybrid that RWN was using up until yesterday. That means your old RWN login will […]

This Week In Quotes: April 22 – April 29

Posted on April 30, 2010 by John Hawkins

You know, and by the way, my opponent (Mark Critz), he now says that – you know that he’s not liberal but yet he goes to Washington, D.C., he raises money with Nancy Pelosi. He brought Joe Biden in who says that he wants no more coal plants in America. He’s raising money from the […]

Crist’s Defection And A More Moderate GOP?

Posted on April 29, 2010April 29, 2010 by John Hawkins

So, moderate Republican Charlie Crist just went independent in a spite bid to try to steal the seat from the GOP? Sort of like moderate Republican Dede Scozzafava, who supported a Democrat when she couldn’t win? But wait, could Crist be more fairly compared to moderate Republican Arlen Specter, who switched parties to try to […]

An Interview With Eric Singer, Head Of The Congressional Effect Fund

Earlier this week, I got together with Eric Singer, head of the Congressional Effect Fund You run a fund that trades stocks only when Congress isn’t in session. Can you talk about why that is? Yes, I call it the Congressional Effect Fund. The reason for that is that stocks do much better when Congress […]

Why Do We Want Uninformed, Unmotivated People To Vote?

Posted on April 28, 2010 by John Hawkins

In Ridgway Colorado they’re proposing mandatory voting: Residents of this Old West- meets-New Age town can be fined if their fences are too high, they have too many chickens, their dogs aren’t on leashes or their weeds are out of control. Tom Hennessy would like to add not voting to that list. Hennessy, a popular […]

Statehood For Puerto Rico? Why?

Posted on April 28, 2010April 28, 2010 by John Hawkins

Tomorrow, they’re supposed to have a vote on statehood for Puerto Rico in the House. Legislation that could set Puerto Rico on a path to statehood has divided Hispanic House lawmakers over whether it is the best way to determine the future of the territory’s relationship with the U.S. Lawmakers are set to vote on […]

Posted on April 28, 2010December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

We’ve had a lot of attention focused on the signs of Tea Partiers lately, so, with illegal immigration back in the news, I thought it might be a good time to show you some of: the: signs that have been waved around at pro-illegal immigration protests in this country.

Poll: The Arizona Immigration Law

Posted on April 28, 2010April 28, 2010 by John Hawkins

Update #1: Granted, this bill isn’t as popular in Arizona as it is in the early voting on RWN, but it is REALLY popular: Last week, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed an immigration law that launched a national debate. It has also at least temporarily helped her own chances of remaining Arizona’s governor. A new […]

Want To Keep The GOP On The Straight And Narrow After November?

Posted on April 27, 2010April 27, 2010 by John Hawkins

Increasing Republican numbers in Congress is a prerequisite to getting the country back on the right track, but in of itself, it’s not sufficient to get the job done. Simply put, the GOP needs to be taught a lesson that the Democrats have long since learned: You’ve got to respect and fear your base. In […]

The Problem With Extending Unemployment Insurance Ad Nauseum

Posted on April 27, 2010April 27, 2010 by John Hawkins

Jim Bunning and Tom Coburn have, unsuccessfully, tried to force the Democrats in Congress to pay for extensions of unemployment benefits. This has ultimately failed each time. That’s not because it’s a bad idea;: it’s because it’s an easily demagogued position. “You don’t want to extend unemployment benefits? That means you have no compassion for […]

Five Arguments Republicans Should Use Against Obama’s Immigration Bill

Posted on April 27, 2010May 8, 2010 by John Hawkins

As you may have heard, after more than a year of giving little more than lip service to illegal immigration, the Democrats have suddenly become extremely interested in pushing comprehensive immigration reform. This is quite curious in that the bill almost assuredly cannot pass. A year ago, when I interviewed Roy Beck, head of Numbers […]

If Barney Frank Says There’s No Bailout…

Posted on April 26, 2010April 26, 2010 by John Hawkins

Good news, everybody! Barney Frank says that there’s no bailout in the Democrats’ financial reform bailout bill: On MSNBC a few minutes ago, Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) criticized Republican claims that the Democrats’ financial reform bill is a “bailout bill,” calling that assertion “triply phony.” “There is the issue that the Republicans tried to say, […]

The World’s Smartest Man Agrees With Me On Space Aliens

Posted on April 26, 2010 by John Hawkins

Back in 2006, I did a post on how dumb it was for human beings to try to capture the attention of space aliens, Consider this: if there are actually aliens out there and a message from Earth reaches them, we don’t have the slightest idea what would happen. If they get the message, they […]

I Give Up On Michael Steele

Posted on April 26, 2010April 26, 2010 by John Hawkins

When Michael Steele ran for the Senate in Maryland in 2006, the Rightroots fundraising group that I led enthusiastically supported him. Then, when Steele ran for RNC chairman, I backed him for that, too. There were a lot of qualified candidates who could have done a good job: Saul Anuzis, Ken Blackwell, Katon Dawson — […]

Good News: New Comment System. Bad News: Off Today

Posted on April 23, 2010April 23, 2010 by John Hawkins

Just a little heads up and two things. #1) I’m not going to be posting on RWN today, although some of RWN’s week-end bloggers should be taking up the slack. #2) If all goes as expected, RWN’s comment system will be replaced with Disqus this week-end. That should make the comment section easier to use, […]

The Circular Reasoning Behind Manmade Global Warming

Posted on April 22, 2010April 22, 2010 by John Hawkins

Over at National Review, global warming true believer Jim Manzi lands on Mark Levin with both feet because the Great One treats the theory of manmade global warming with the scorn it deserves. Here’s Manzi: Levin argues that human-caused global warming is nothing to worry about, and merely an excuse for the Enviro-Statists (capitalization in […]

This Week In Quotes: April 16 – April 21

Posted on April 22, 2010April 22, 2010 by John Hawkins

The problem isn’t that things are collapsing. It’s that not enough things are collapsing. General Motors, AIG, and the government of California have committed enough errors to merit immediate extinction, but there they still are. Yet the political establishment continues to argue that the market needs to be prevented from delivering rough justice to sinners. […]
