The FreedomWorks Rally In Raleigh (12 pics)

Posted on November 16, 2009December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

The fine folks over at FreedomWorks brought me in to do a speech at a rally in Raleigh, NC last week-end. I drove down on Friday and that night, my pal Lorie Byrd picked me up at the hotel and took me over to a BBQ place where FreedomWorks was holding a little shindig for […]

This Week In Quotes: November 6 – 12

Posted on November 13, 2009November 13, 2009 by John Hawkins

A Veteran knows things: He knows life is precious, because he’s seen life cut short. He knows life is strange, because those that should die live and those who have the most life sometimes die. He knows life is not easily wrapped up in a box philosophically. He knows that plans fail. He knows there’s […]

Obama’s Buffoonery In Honduras

Posted on November 12, 2009November 12, 2009 by John Hawkins

Because Barack Obama has been so dangerous, dishonest, and incompetent on the home front, many people have lost sight of how much of a bumbler he has been abroad. Seriously, we’ve got Jimmy Carter redux on the foreign policy front. Obama got juked out of his shoes by the Russians, he has already taken too […]

Why Devout Radical Jihadists Go For Lap Dances

Posted on November 12, 2009 by John Hawkins

Many people seem puzzled that devout radical Muslims might go out for a lap dance before they go on a murder spree. So this might make them scratch their heads: Hasan was a regular customer at a club close to the Texas military base and on one occasion spent six hours there watching women poledancing. […]

Christianity And Same Sex Marriage Are Incompatible

Posted on November 12, 2009November 12, 2009 by John Hawkins

If you say you’re a Christian and support same-sex marriage, I would tell you that you’re mistaken about one of those beliefs. Supporting gay marriage is not compatible with Christianity and more Christians should be willing to stand up, like the Catholic Church in DC, and say so: The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington said Wednesday […]

Letting Students Buy Better Grades?

Posted on November 11, 2009November 11, 2009 by John Hawkins

No matter how much money we pour into the school system in this country, we get incessant complaints that the schools are underfunded. Worse yet, we hear gripes that teachers can’t get the supplies they need to do their jobs. Yet, nobody ever seems to ask the basic questions: Does pouring more money into a […]

DeMint’s Right About Term Limits

Posted on November 11, 2009November 11, 2009 by John Hawkins

It can sometimes be a little difficult to know for sure how the Founding Fathers would have viewed certain aspects of modern society. However, we can be certain that they would have been absolutely appalled by the emergence of the “career politician.” Because of gerrymandering, party politics, and the rise of heavily monied interest groups, […]

It’s Time For The US To Get Out Of The Israeli/Palestinian Peace Process

Posted on November 10, 2009November 10, 2009 by John Hawkins

Rarely do I agree with Thomas Friedman, but on this, I think he’s right: The Israeli-Palestinian peace process has become a bad play. It is obvious that all the parties are just acting out the same old scenes, with the same old tired clichés – and that no one believes any of it anymore. There […]

The Tabloid Trash Beat: Obama Collapses Under The Strain

Posted on November 10, 2009November 11, 2009 by John Hawkins

The National Examiner is the Ford Pinto of gossip rags. It doesn’t have the credibility (ha ha) of the National Enquirer and it’s not quite as flaky as the Globe. Still, when I saw this story on the cover, I had to have it: According to the totally unreliable folks at the Examiner, Obama is […]

Nidal Hasan Killed Those People Because He’s A Radical Muslim

Posted on November 9, 2009November 9, 2009 by John Hawkins

Here’s the ugly truth that we’re so desperate to avoid talking about: A certain percentage of Muslims murder people not in spite of their faith, but because of it. Nidal Hasan was one of those people. By that, I mean had Nidal Hasan been a Christian or a Hindu or a Buddhist or an atheist, […]

An Interview With Congressman John Carter

Posted on November 9, 2009November 9, 2009 by John Hawkins

Late last week, I did an interview with Texas Congressman John Carter. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our interview: There is some concern that the Ethics Committee in the House is brushing aside serious complaints. Do you think they’re doing the type of work they need to be doing to make sure […]

Fort Hood’s 9/11

Posted on November 6, 2009November 6, 2009 by John Hawkins

From Ralph Peters’ latest column: On Thursday afternoon, a radicalized Muslim US Army officer shouting “Allahu Akbar!” committed the worst act of terror on American soil since 9/11. And no one wants to call it an act of terror or associate it with Islam. What cowards we are. Political correctness killed those patriotic Americans at […]

Blue On Blue: Democrats Gear Up For An IntraParty Civil War In 2010

Posted on November 6, 2009 by John Hawkins

While the mainstream is obsessing over the idea of a Republican civil war, they’re largely ignoring the fact that there’s a fight that is every bit as ugly, if not uglier, shaping up on the Left: A few days ago, the left-wing activist group MoveOn.org began sending out emails seeking contributions to fund primary challenges […]

Posted on November 5, 2009November 6, 2009 by John Hawkins

* I’m going to update this semi-regularly for the next couple of hours. At the moment, information is surprisingly not-so-surprisingly sketchy. Often times, you get conflicting information about what happened in the immediate aftermath of an event like this. So far, I’ve heard, there are two key pieces of data that I’m hearing conflicting data […]

Under Obamacare, You’ll Be Paying For Other People’s Abortions Out Of Your Own Pocket

Posted on November 5, 2009November 5, 2009 by John Hawkins

Are you morally opposed to abortion? Do you think it’s the greatest evil in American history? Do you believe it’s absolutely, incontrovertibly incompatible with your religious views? That’s too bad, because under Obamacare, you’ll be personally funding abortions: From House Republican Leader, John Boehner: Health care reform should not be used as an opportunity to […]

An Interview With Congressman Steve King

Posted on November 5, 2009November 5, 2009 by John Hawkins

What follows is an interview done, via email, with Congressman Steve King. Will the healthcare bill winding its way though Congress fund abortion? Absolutely. H.R. 3962 includes the Capps Amendment, adopted by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which authorizes direct taxpayer funding for abortions under the public plan. It will be left to the […]

Thank You, Doug Hoffman, But Now It’s Time To Go

Posted on November 4, 2009November 4, 2009 by John Hawkins

Doug Hoffman is not a charismatic man. He also lived outside of NY-23 — and his campaign wasn’t very well run. Does that mean it was a mistake for conservatives to support him? No. Had Hoffman gotten elected in a Republican district like that one, he probably could have served in Congress for a long, […]

The Post In Which Saudi Arabia And I Agree On Something

Posted on November 4, 2009November 4, 2009 by John Hawkins

It seems that the Saudis are shocking the world again by being brutal to criminals: A Saudi court of cassation upheld a ruling to behead and crucify a 22-year-old man convicted of raping five children and leaving one of them to die in the desert, newspapers reported on Tuesday. The convict was arrested earlier this […]

Bilked: Global Warming Alarmists Filling Al Gore’s Pockets

Posted on November 3, 2009November 3, 2009 by John Hawkins

If tomorrow, Al Gore came to the conclusion that manmade global warming was bunk, would he be willing to say so? Certainly, it would be tough for him to do so given that he’s the face of global warming alarmism and that he’s received a Nobel Prize for his efforts. Setting that aside, there’s a […]

Analysis Of The Three Big Races Today: New Jersey, Virginia, & New York.

Posted on November 3, 2009November 3, 2009 by John Hawkins

New Jersey In the New Jersey Governor’s race, it’s a three way fight between incumbent Democrat Jon Corzine, Republican Chris Christie, and Independent Chris Daggett.
