Anonymous Senate Aide X: Obamacare Going To January. Less Than 50% Chance Of Passage.

Despite the Democratic attempts to paint the health care bill as an inevitability, the signs of life for the bill are looking ever more faint. The bill is extremely unpopular and the poll numbers seem to be getting worse for it by the week. Moreover, Harry Reid is having an extremely difficult time getting to […]

 

I Get Emails: Why Fiscal Conservative Shouldn’t Support The Medicare Cuts In Obamacare

Here’s a question I received from a RWN reader this week-end: As a fellow right wing nut, could I ask why we Republicans are not supporting the proposed Medicare budget cuts? As a fiscal conservative, you know that a balanced budget will require modifications to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and, probably, defense. No way around […]

 

Everything You Need To Know About Why No One Trusts Congress In A Single Post

The biggest problem we have with Democrats in DC is that you simply cannot take anything you hear from them at face value. It’s not merely a matter of their fudging around the edges: they often say they’re doing one thing while actually working to do exactly the opposite: A loophole in the Senate health […]

 

An Obama Doctrine? What Obama Doctrine?

Last night on Twitter, Allah Pundit from Hot Air was going off on the idea that Obama’s Nobel Prize speech was important because it laid down some sort of foreign policy doctrine. His comments were right on point: What groundbreaking “doctrine” did he really lay out? “Sometimes war is necessary, but we should also use […]

This Week In Quotes: December 4 – December 10

The financial crisis killed small entrepreneurs as surely as Joseph Stalin killed the kulaks, and the roots of the economy are dead and dry. — David Goldman “Either the war (in Afghanistan) is vital, or it’s not. It can’t be vital until an arbitrary deadline.” — Michael Goodwin The response to my op-ed by global […]

 

The Blindness Of The Left To The Consequences Of Their Decisions: The Medicare Edition

Liberal golden boy Matthew Yglesias says that the Medicare program’s “low reimbursement rates are a feature not a bug.” In other words, the fact that the government doesn’t pay fair market value for the services is good news! Why? Consequently, there’s strong political pressure for generous benefits. That means, on the one hand, that funding […]

 


Do You Understand How Far The Global Warming Loons Want To Go?

Earlier today on RWN, Van Helsing talked about eco-kook, Dave Reay, who wants us to cut back on washing, personal hygiene, and buying new clothing. Hmmm…a dirty liberal hippy who wants other people to be dirty, too? Seems pretty convenient, huh? But, Reay is not alone. When they’re not yelling “scientific consensus” in an effort […]

 

Right Wing News 2012 Political Poll Results And Analysis

Yesterday, I polled RWN’s readers on the following question: If the 2012 Republican primary were today, which of these candidates would you vote for? The results were a surprise, not because of who came in first, but because of the huge margin and how weak the rest of the field turned out to be in […]

 

Why Copenhagen Is A Waste Of Time Even For Global Warming Alarmists

For the length of this post, let’s set aside the fact that not only is there no manmade global warming going on, there’s no global warming at all occurring right now. Let’s say that I’m a global warming alarmist who’s absolutely convinced that manmade greenhouse gasses are going to super heat the earth and kill […]

Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better. If […]

 


Al Gore Inspires Me To Write Poetry

Apparently, Al Gore has branched out from inventing the internet and making millions selling carbon credits to morons, to writing poetry. Former Vice President, Nobel Prize winner, poet, and human tree. Is there anything Al Gore can’t do? Via Weasel Zippers, here’s Al Gore’s precious little poem: One thin September soon A floating continent disappears […]

 


Four Colossal Holes in the Theory of Man-Made Global Warming

Repeating the words “scientific consensus” over and over and telling sad stories about polar bears does not qualify as “science.” So, why is it that the people who insist that Man-made global warming is based on science, not politics, always get shaky and defensive when people want to actually talk about the reasoning behind it? […]

 


The Obama Administration’s Afghanistan Timeline Climbdown

How incompetent is Barack Obama? Apparently, he’s so incompetent that he didn’t realize that setting a timeline would encourage our country’s enemies while threatening support for the war here at home. Initially, after Obama made his politically motivated “Here’s 30k troops for the Right and a timeline for Left” speech about Afghanistan, he sent a […]

 

The Best Quotes From C.S. Lewis’ “Miracles”

“Miracles” is a meticulously reasoned, shorter than average book of theology by the great C.S. Lewis. Although the book doesn’t really lend itself to clever quips, it has more than a few profound quotes in it that deserve to get out to a wider audience. Enjoy! Those who wish to succeed must ask the right […]

 

The Product That Will Transform Your Life: The Laptop Steering Wheel Desk

Courtesy of the fine folks at Snapped Shot, I’d like to point you towards what may be the greatest invention ever actually created by mankind. Sure, it falls short of the ray gun, the Terminator, and the Death Star, but those have only been dreamt of, while this product is actually available on Amazon for […]

 

Defending Obama On The F-22 Non-Scandal

Barack Obama is a bumbling, empty-headed, arrogant, dangerous, ultra left-wing statist who’s doing crippling damage to our country. There’s very little good to be said about the man — which, is why there’s really no need to stretch to be offended by stories like this one: When President Obama spoke to troops at Alaska’s Elmendorf […]

 

This Week In Quotes: November 27 – December 3

“Here’s a guy without much experience, who campaigned against much of what we put in place … and who now travels around the world apologizing. I think our adversaries – especially when that’s preceded by a deep bow … – see that as a sign of weakness.” — Dick Cheney (The federal government is) “doing […]

 

Obamacare is Political Suicide Part 32, Featuring Senator Blanche Lincoln!

The liberal line on Obamacare is that despite the fact that it’s unpopular with the public and won’t start paying off until 2014, the smart political move is for Democrats to vote for it. So, how is that theory working out so far for Blanche Lincoln, who’s up for reelection next year? According to Rasmussen […]

 

Global Warming Extremist: Copenhagen Summit Not Nearly Extreme Enough!

NASA moonbat, James Hansen, thinks the upcoming Copenhagen Summit is a farce because it doesn’t do nearly enough to destroy the world economy in order to fight a hallucination: James Hansen, the director of Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, told The Times that he planned to boycott the UN conference because it was seeking […]

Deep Doubts About Obama’s Afghanistan Strategy

I believe that winning in Afghanistan is absolutely essential to America’s national security. Losing would give a huge propaganda victory to Al-Qaeda, could allow them to use that country as a base for terrorism again, and could destabilize Pakistan, which could lead to Al-Qaeda getting their hands on nuclear weapons — and all that is […]

 

How Little Green Footballs Reminds Me Of The Korean War

If you were reading the right side of the blogosphere yesterday, you probably noticed someone commenting on the fact that Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs finally made his break with the Right official with a post. It was a silly little missive that essentially amounted to: “Everyone I used to think was good is […]
