John Hawkins And Tabitha Hale Reading A Scene From Gone With The Wind

Posted on October 20, 2009October 20, 2009 by John Hawkins

Wendy Sullivan over at Girl On The Right has a thing for Southern accents, particularly mine and Tabitha Hale’s. She has often asked us to do a scene from Gone With The Wind for her. So, for her birthday, Tabitha and I actually read out the “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn” scene […]

10 Horror Movies For Conservatives To Watch This Halloween

Posted on October 20, 2009January 2, 2010 by John Hawkins

Halloween is almost upon us and you’re probably thinking, “Gee, wouldn’t it be great to kick back on the couch and rent a few conservative horror flicks for the big night?” Here’s the problem: horror films aren’t family friendly. They’re gory, they’re violent, and they’re vulgar. Even setting that aside, there really aren’t very many […]

Positive Thinking Is Good For America

Posted on October 19, 2009October 19, 2009 by John Hawkins

As a Psychology major, I tend to love books about how the human mind works. I’ve read hundreds of books on psychology, self-help, positive thinking, motivation, communication, etc. — and not all of them were great books. A few books steer people in the wrong direction. Some of them are trite. Some of them tend […]

Of Course, David Frum Believes Top Conservatives Will Sell-Out…

Posted on October 19, 2009October 19, 2009 by John Hawkins

My friend and co-blogger, Kathy Shaidle, was incredulous when David Frum suggested that many of the top people in the conservative movement would sell out if given the opportunity David Frum finally loses it, “writes”: That question is easy: Yes of course Limbaugh and Beck express the same views in private as in public. Consistent […]

5 Takeaway Lessons From Rush Limbaugh Being Denied NFL Ownership

Posted on October 16, 2009January 2, 2010 by John Hawkins

Rush Limbaugh, who is the single most popular mainstream political host in America, was denied an opportunity to invest tens of millions of dollars in the steaming pile of horseflop that is the St. Louis Rams. There are a number of lessons that can be taken away from that debacle. They include the following: 1) […]

Posted on October 16, 2009October 19, 2009 by John Hawkins

(The White House is) “more worried about the war on Fox than the actual war in Afghanistan.” — Glenn Beck We are no longer a merit-based economy, we are a skin color and political ideology-based economy. We are exactly what Dr. Martin Luther King didn’t want: a place where people are judged not by their […]

Common Sense Vs. Politics: $250 Payments To Seniors

Posted on October 15, 2009October 19, 2009 by John Hawkins

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury…” — Often attributed, probably incorrectly, to Andrew Tytler […]

The Meghan McCain Cleavage Controversy

Posted on October 15, 2009December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

It all began when Meghan McCain posted this admittedly hot photo of herself on Twitter: Then apparently, in a shocking breach of internet decency, someone, somewhere must have called Meghan McCain a slut. That prompted this flood of pathos from Meggie Mac: so I took a fun picture not thinking anything about what I was […]

15 Random 140 Character Thoughts

Posted on October 15, 2009 by John Hawkins

* Am I supposed to care about Alan Grayson and get all upset about what he’s saying? Because honestly, I really don’t. * Just to note: Very, very, very few women actually qualify as “low maintenance”. * If dogs have the brains of a 2 year old child, cats have the brains of a 2 […]

Ominous Numbers For Arlen Specter

Posted on October 14, 2009 by John Hawkins

“This is a big part of the reason that I don’t think it made that much sense for Specter to switch instead of retire. The reality is that the liberal activist groups have a lot of reason to primary him — and if they find a credible challenger to do so, he’s highly likely to […]

Are You Ready To Have The IRS & DMV Involved In Your Health Care?

Posted on October 14, 2009October 14, 2009 by John Hawkins

Everything the government gets involved with inevitably turns into a horrific mess. Think FEMA and Katrina. Think ICE and the border. Think about the Post Office vs. Fed Ex or UPS. Think about our nation’s budget and Medicare. Think housing projects. Think welfare. Think about the economic crisis we’re in right now — the one […]

The Olympia Snowe Peril On Health Care

Posted on October 14, 2009October 14, 2009 by John Hawkins

Yesterday, Olympia Snowe gleefully shoved a knife in the back of the American people by signing onto the Baucus bill. She was the first and only Republican in the Senate to support socialized medicine. This was a big deal because it gives the Democrats the ability to falsely claim that this is a bipartisan bill, […]

What follows are my notes, not quotes from a teleconference with Michael Steele and Todd Herman from the RNC on their new webpage, GOP.com.

Obama And Hillary Fiddle For Russia While Iran Builds Nukes

Posted on October 13, 2009 by John Hawkins

It’s truly embarrassing to watch the hapless and ineffective Obama team in action on foreign policy. In a bout of appeasement that would make Neville Chamberlain retch, the yellow backed coward in the White House scampered away from building missile defense in Poland and the Czech Republic at the behest of Russia. This puzzled people, […]

20 More Questions For Barack Obama

Posted on October 13, 2009January 2, 2010 by John Hawkins

Because our servile journalists spend their days awash in ecstasy, thinking endlessly of the tingle that runs up their leg when they see Barack Obama, they don’t seem to be able to find the time to ask him any tough questions. That leaves the rest of us out in the cold, dreaming of queries we’d […]

It’s Too Late To Delegitimize Fox

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

The Obama Administration is continuing to lash out at the only major news outlet that doesn’t grovel at: its feet like a penniless beggar hoping for some spare change: Attacking the news media is a time-honored White House tactic but to an unusual degree, the Obama administration has narrowed its sights to one specific organization, the […]

How Does A Society Sustain Itself When 40% Of Its Tax Revenue Goes To Interest Payments On Its Debt?

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

I know, I know. Yet another article about how scary our debt is. You’ve heard it a thousand times. Yet and still, my friends, these numbers beg for further consideration: As of Sept. 30, 2009, the national debt was almost $12 trillion and interest on that debt was $383 billion for the year, according to […]

Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize Is A Metaphor For His Whole Political Career

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

Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize has inspired a never ending stream of commentary, Twitter jags, SNL skits, and a storm of political huff and puff. Some people think he deserved it, most don’t, and people are starting to question why the news is making such a big splash in the first place. It’s simple really: Obama’s […]

What Exactly Did Barack Obama Do To Win A Nobel Peace Prize?

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

At about 5:15 AM this morning, I was still awake, paying my dues on all three of my blogs. Suddenly, the phone rang. It was my friend Cara Ellison, who knew I was up, phoning me so that she could alert me that Barack Obama had just won a Nobel Peace Prize. It was puzzling […]

This Week In Quotes: Oct 2 – Oct 8, 2009

Posted on October 9, 2009 by John Hawkins

The enormous cost of losing in Afghanistan is yet to dawn on the American public. Should the US and Nato withdraw, neighboring regional powers such as Russia, China and Iran will rush to fill the vacuum. None of them will be friendly to US interests in the region. Pakistanis who already harbor considerable resentment towards […]

A Teleconference With Joe Wilson

Posted on October 8, 2009October 9, 2009 by John Hawkins

I was a touch late and missed the beginning of Joe Wilson’s opening statement and unfortunately, coming in during the middle of it, I had a bit of trouble following it. Usually in that sort of situation, I don’t write up the teleconference. However, the Q&A session was so good, I thought it merited a […]

I’d Prefer Unretouched Photos Of Women

Posted on October 8, 2009 by John Hawkins

The image to your left has spurred yet another debate about touching up photos of women. In recent years an ongoing debate has brewed over advertisers and fashion magazines using photographs, particularly photographs of women, that have seemingly been altered, or “retouched,” by airbrushing and photo editing software such as Photoshop. The latest such image […]

Chaos At The Daily Kos Over Afghanistan

Posted on October 7, 2009October 7, 2009 by John Hawkins

A reader who wishes to remain anonymous tipped me off to a fascinating thread over at the Daily Kos that echoes the utter confusion of the Left on Afghanistan. You see, despite all the caterwauling about foreign policy that we heard from the Left during the Bush years, it’s still ultimately little more than a […]

I Detest These Republican Mailers

Posted on October 7, 2009October 7, 2009 by John Hawkins

One of my pet peeves during the 2008 campaign season was the deceptive mailers I received from Republican politicians. That’s not because I received a lot of them. That just goes with the territory if you give even small amounts of money to pols. After all, the more times they ask for money, as a […]

In Defense Of David Letterman — Sort Of

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

I’m not a fan of David Letterman, don’t like his politics, and haven’t watched his show in years. Moreover, after his rape joke at the expense of Sarah Palin’s daughter, I can’t say that I was displeased to hear that he was involved in an intern sex and adultery scandal. There seems to be one […]

What Is Being Disrespected by Holocaust Denial

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

When people deny that there was a Holocaust, it is extraordinarily disrespectful. That’s because the evidence is absolutely irrefutable and when people say it didn’t happen, they are cruelly denying those that were murdered the simple dignity of having their true story told. What you are about to read is from the sworn affidavit of […]
