After receiving heavy pressure from the netroots, the Nevada Democratic Party has cancelled a debate for the presidential contenders on Fox. After the Democrats caved under pressure, MoveOn declared victory — which in all fairness, they should, because they won. Apparently, they really do own the Democratic party. But, what did they win? They won […]

Earlier this week, I put up a Pajamas Media Straw Poll. Here are the results on the GOP side, from Right Wing News: The poll resets every week, so technically, I could run it in constant rotation here at RWN. However, that seems like a bit to me. But, every 2 weeks? That might not […]

One of the hot stories of the day, it’s at the top of Drudge right now, is that the, “FBI ‘MISUSED PATRIOT ACT’.” Ooooooh, sounds scary doesn’t it? Well, here are the the guts of the story, The audit by Justice Department Inspector General Glenn A. Fine found that FBI agents sometimes demanded personal data […]

It has been about 3 months since the last time I ranked my favorite 40 blogs, so I thought it was about time to do it again, for the last time in 2006. Do keep in mind that as the quarter has progressed, some blogs have, of course, moved up and others have dropped, based […]

1) Conservatives are more racist than liberals. Although you will find racists on the left and the right, the left is much more racist on the whole. That’s why we still have to create majority black districts in order to get significant numbers of black Americans elected to Congress — because even though blacks vote […]

The left has been attempting to destroy Matt Sanchez for the “crime” of being a gay conservative, just as they did to Jeff Gannon before him. First of all, they outed him, which is a despicable act. Since then, left-wing blogs have heaped abuse on Sanchez, some of it blatantly homophobic, while simultaneously (and rather […]

“The U.S. Army has reported a sharp decrease in insurgency attacks in Baghdad. In the week of Feb. 24 to March 2, officials said, insurgency strikes and suicide bombings dropped for the fourth consecutive week in Baghdad. They linked this to the steady increase of security patrols in the city. The army said violence has […]

The newest liberal plan to inspire the terrorists to fight on against our troops and thereby thwart success in Iraq, has been revealed: “In a direct challenge to President Bush, House Democrats unveiled legislation Thursday requiring the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq by the fall of next year. Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the […]

I’m totally opposed to illegal immigration and wouldn’t mind seeing the number of people allowed to emigrate legally to this country slashed either, but I think Bill Gates is (mostly) right about this: “Bill Gates, the chairman of Micro:­soft, on Wednesday warned that restrictions on the number of skilled workers allowed to enter the US […]

One simple observation about the Libby trial and the celebrations by the media, the Left, and the Joe Wilsons: Now that we have established that no rock and no expense will be left unturned and unspent, that no reporter involved will be left unsubpoenaed for leaking or even purportedly leaking a classified agent’s name, when […]

When the first “Half Hour Comedy Hour” came out, I roughed the show up with my review. How badly did I thrash them? Well, I was quoted on Wikipedia as saying that the “Half Hour Comedy Hour” “may be the least edgy show made since Leave it to Beaver.” Because I disliked the first show […]

“Denis Collins, the Libby juror who said that politics played no role in the verdict, has published his diary of the trial, available exclusively at…the Huffington Post.” — Byron York PS: The account is 7900 words, which would seem to suggest he was working on it during the trial since it’s highly improbable that he […]

“LET it be recorded that in the last decade of the 20th century the brave and great movement of Western feminism ended, not with a bang but with a whimper. …Was it before or after September 11 that thinkers of the Left – for feminism was a movement of the Left – decided that racism […]

Courtesy of Drudge: This morning, PETA sent a letter to former vice president Al Gore explaining to him that the best way to fight global warming is to go vegetarian and offering to cook him faux “fried chicken” as an introduction to meat-free meals. …In the letter, PETA points out the following: :· The effect […]

One of the most fascinating things about the left is that they often accuse conservatives of hating gays in one breath and then display rampant homophobia in the next. From their assaults on Mary Cheney, to their outing campaigns, to the unfounded accusations liberals regularly toss around about some Republicans being “closeted” homosexuals, the hostility […]

Boy, did the Edwards campaign miss out when Amanda Marcotte quit in a huff after catching flack for her anti-Christian rants. Here’s her defense of the word “f*ggot” being used by her fellow ex-Edwards blogger at Shakespeare’s Sister, something I pointed out earlier in the week: But Shakes’ quote is the best illustration that right-wingers […]

*** John Edwards has been talking about Jesus in the painful, hamhanded manner that Democrats normally do. In other words, he attempted to use Jesus as a blunt instrument to hammer his political enemies: Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards says Jesus would be appalled at how the United States has ignored the plight of the […]

In one minute, they’re supposed to announce the verdict of the Scooter Libby trial. I won’t be liveblogging it (nothing much to liveblog really), but I will be posting the verdict and then punching up a post on it. C’mon, Scooter! I’m rooting for you! Update #1: Guilty on 4 of 5 counts according to […]

The Democrats are playing political games with money intended for the troops — big surprise there, not. From Bloomberg, Democrats May Add Money for Avocados, Mangoes to Iraq Measure President George W. Bush’s first spending fight with the Democratic-controlled Congress may come over the Iraq war — and avocados and cattle and flood protection. Lawmakers […]

When our troops were overseas in WW2, people like Tokyo Rose would do radio broadcasts that tried to encourage them to give up. Now, we have liberals back in the states doing exactly the same thing. In the video you’re about to see, you have liberal protestors standing on the side of the road, as […]

The Coulter/Edwards CPAC saga continues on! Rush is now weighing in with words of wisdom for those who don’t understand why Ann Coulter has so many fans despite her outrageous outbursts: “I’m looking at the blogs, and the bloggers are uniform in their condemnation of Ann Coulter. “This is disturbing and it’s distracting to the […]
