— I haven’t said much about disgraced preacher Ted Haggard because there isn’t that much to say. He’s not a major player on the right; in fact I haven’t ever mentioned his name before on RWN. And while it’s sad that he turned out to be engaging in some immoral activities that he preached against, […]

There are few things I care about less than music award ceremonies, but Kayne West made such a jackass out of himself that I just couldn’t ignore it: “Rap star Kanye West was named Best Hip Hop artist but still came off as a sore loser at the MTV Europe Music Awards. Kanye apparently was […]

Ken Mehlman got together with some bloggers this afternoon and he definitely had a message that he wanted to get across. Here are the three points he hammered home before he went off the record: #1) For whatever reason, exit polls have over the years tended to favor Democrats over Republicans. It may be because […]

There have been two Republican Googlebombs launched over the last few weeks. Googlebomb #1, on Oct 23, 2006; Googlebomb #2 was detonated on Oct 26, 2006 and it featured all YouTube videos. So, we’re now up to the final week-end before the election and I’m sure a lot of people are wondering how well it […]

At the University of Pennsylvania, they had a costume party and a couple of the students came as terrorists. Here’s a picture of one of them standing next to the President of the University of Pennsylvania. Quite frankly, that picture alone should be enough to end her career and get him kicked out of college. […]

Now if Ned lamont were to somehow miraculously pull out a win on Tuesday of next week, everyone knows that the netroots would take all the credit for it — and they’d have at least a little justification for it. After all, there’s no way Ned Lamont would have beaten Joe Lieberman in the Democratic […]

On October 25th, I was on Pat Hynes’ radio show, Meet the New Press, and they just got a podcast of the appearance up. You can check it out here.

Charles Krauthammer ponders what conclusions can be reached if the Democrats do indeed do as well as predicted in the elections. Critics of Krauthammer will regard this as the pre-spin for GOP losses. But the points are still true. First of all, we should remember that this is the historical pattern in the sixth year […]

Huh? The attempt to spin this as anti-Bush may not be quite successful. Among the dozens of documents in English were Iraqi reports written in the 1990’s and in 2002 for United Nations inspectors in charge of making sure Iraq abandoned its unconventional arms programs after the Persian Gulf war. Experts say that at the […]

The folks over at Blame Bush, which parodies liberals, have already come up with the first bumper sticker for John Kerry’s 2008 campaign: Heh.

This is going to be one of those rare occasions where there’s no daily news. Sorry about that, folks! The daily news will return in its regular spot on Monday.

I recently finished Mark Steyn’s superb book, America Alone, which is about disturbing European demographic trends and the danger of radical Islam. The book was just mesmerizing, one of the best books I’ve read in years, and as you’d expect with anything Steyn penned, it was so magnificently written that I could hardly tear myself […]

Last night, South Park did sort of a “pox on both their houses” episode about evolution. It criticized people who reject evolution because of their religious beliefs and people who try to use evolution as a club to attack Christians. Here are a couple of clips from the show. The first one features Ms. Garrison […]

Last night, I participated in a Conservatives With Attitude! election 2006 round table on internet radio. You can listen to a podcast of it here.

A lot of liberals absolutely despise the military and so they end up in this eternal wrestling match with themselves that pits the oozing contempt with which they regard our troops with what it’s politically advisable for them to actually say. Every so often, they lose the match and their acidic dislike of our soldiers […]

Now this is funny: If these guys were actually the sort of morons that John Kerry thinks they are, the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 34th Infantry Division couldn’t have come up with a sign that funny.

A win for the Democrats in the 2006 election would be a loss for not just the Republicans, but Americans in general. If you’re one of those who think Democratic control of Congress will only last for two years — and that the Republicans will rediscover their Conservative roots while “wandering in the wilderness” — […]

After I stepped on the left side of the blogosphere’s favorite fake “conservative” of the moment, John Cole, lefty Glenn Greenwald took great exception to it. Greenwald’s rambling and ill thought out post basically begins with the idea that of course Cole has had a heartfelt change of views because George Bush is such an […]

Right Wing News emailed more than 230 right-of-center bloggers to ask them about the 2006 election. The following 62 blogs responded. The Absurd Report, Ankle Biting Pundits (Patrick Hynes), Annika’s Journal, The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler, Argghhhh!, Barking Moonbat Early Warning System, BizzyBlog, Blue Crab Boulevard, BrothersJudd Blog, In The Bullpen, Brainster’s Blog, Captain’s Quarters, The Club […]

Ex-conservative, John Cole over at Balloon Juice, is shoveling manure as fast as he can at his former allies on the right. At one time Cole ran a reliably conservative blog, but about the time Terri Schiavo became a big issue, he got a real bee in his bonnet about religious people being allowed to […]

As you may know, John Kerry has now claimed that his comments which implied that our troops are stupid was actually part of an anti-Bush joke that went wrong. Kerry has also, unsurprisingly, used the occasion as an opportunity to attack George Bush. In other words, Kerry says the troops are stupid and when people […]

In the end, you can rack up a big body count with car bombs, suicide bombers, and by killing people who happen to be standing in line waiting for jobs or to get into stores, but you can’t win a war that way. To win a war, you need an army that can take and […]
