Democrats have been coming out of the woodwork to make dubious accusations that George Allen used the N-Word and unfortunately, those are difficult charges to fend off. After all, how do you prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you didn’t say something 30 years ago in a one-on-one conversation? Well now, James Webb […]

Foreign Poll: 94% Of Iraqis Have An Unfavorable View Of Al-Qaeda Opera Featuring Mohammed’s Head May Take Place After German Leader Intervenes Little Pressure On Hezbollah To Disarm Merkel Warns Against Bowing To Fear Of Muslim Violence Third Night of Ramadan Rioting in Capital of Europe Iraqi President Jalal Talabani: US Troop Presence Keeps Neighbors […]

I think more Western leaders need to take this attitude when the crazed Muslim mobs start howling for blood: “Chancellor Angela Merkel urged Germans on Wednesday not to bow to fears of Islamic violence after a Berlin opera house canceled a Mozart work over concerns some scenes could enrage Muslims and pose a security risk. […]

Keith Olbermann isn’t the most likable guy in the world, but the tone of this column in the New York Post is unneccessarily nasty: “MSNBC loudmouth Keith Olbermann flipped out when he opened his home mail yesterday. The acerbic host of “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” was terrified when he opened a suspicious-looking letter with a […]

If your son hadn’t studied quite as hard as he should have for a history test, would you hope that he flunked badly in order to, “teach him a lesson?” If you goofed off at work a few times, do you think it would make sense for your employer to fire you and hire someone […]

I’ve talked about this before, but it’s worth noting that the illegal immigration debate has gotten so hot and heavy that it has actually spawned professional wrestling characters. Last night, when I was watching TNA wrestling via TiVo, these guys had hung a dummy up in the ring that looked like Uncle Sam and they […]

“So much for strength (or newsworthiness) in numbers. Inside Wednesday’s Washington Post, reporter Michelle Boorstein covered a tiny protest inside the Hart Senate Office Building yesterday, where 35 were arrested. Last week, as many as 35,000 people protested in New York in support of Israel and against Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, featuring speakers like U.S. […]

From Ann Coulter in her book, Treason, “No matter what the evidence, liberals insist that only their tender ministrations are capable of calming murderous dictators. Negotiation and engagement are said to “work” because, after Democrats spend years dillydallying with lunatic despots who threaten America, eventually a Republican president comes in and threatens aggressive military action.

Earlier this month, I wrote a glowing post on a column by Aslam Abdullah in the Las-Vegas Review Journal called, “Kill Us, Too: We Are Also Americans. Radical Muslims Not Worthy Of The Religion. Well, apparently RWN wasn’t the only place to comment favorably on Abdullah’s article because a reporter from the Review Journal got […]

Today was a big day for the blogosphere, because to the best of my knowledge, it’s the first time the White House has ever invited bloggers to a signing ceremony. It was for the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act, which was pushed hard by the blogosphere, in particular the Porkbusters crowd. Over at Human […]

Anyone who reads Right Wing News regularly knows that I’m the one who got the ball rolling for Rightroots and that I support all the candidates listed there. However, there are some candidates that I’m rooting hard for that aren’t endorsed by Rightroots. One of them is Vernon Robinson, who’s from my home state of […]

The New York Times has done a hit piece on asking people to provide ID to vote, which is a simple, common sense measure that anyone who cares about the integrity of our elections should support. The Times builds the whole dishonest piece around a woman named Eva Charlene Steele: “Eva Charlene Steele, a recent […]

Of late, we’ve been hearing a lot about, “classified National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) contends that the war in Iraq has increased Islamic radicalism.“ However, there are some aspects of this issue that aren’t getting enough attention. #1) This is a classified report and leaking it is a crime. There should be people spending the next […]

“It takes 1.52 gallons of ethanol from corn to replace a gallon of gasoline. The federal government pays huge corn companies such as ADM 77 cents per 1.52 gallons in subsidies — this is opposed to the 18.4 cents per gallon tax on gasoline. Even at that, ethanol costs more than gasoline. Switching to 85% […]

Over at the wildly popular liberal blog, The Smirking Chimp, there are a couple of posts, both on the front page, that merit a closer look. First, there’s a column from Gary Vance called “How Can Any Christian Support the GOP?” Here’s a quote from that column: “Many Democratic candidates have become more open about […]

Democrats.com sent out an email to people on their mailing list and this pic, which was included, was unintentionally hilarious! A shot under the heading of, “What we can do when we get together,” is 5 liberals standing together with a bullhorn, a camera, and a couple of signs while people are studiously ignoring them […]

Via Right Thinking Girl, I ran across a bizarre article by a columnist named David Cobain. It’s called, “Osama Bin Laden…a guy I met in a bar,” but it might as well have been called “Osama Bin Laden: A love story,” because the guy literally comes across as smitten with Bin Laden. Here’s a sample: […]

The Rightroots 15 day challenge is over, but we’re still taking in money.

Over at Ace of Spades HQ, Ace hammers Matt Drudge for waiting until a story broken by a blogger was picked up by a local paper to link it: “Drudge almost never links bloggers; it’s just a thing with him. So he waited until a local Arizona paper basically just retyped espressopundit.com’s posting and then […]

“For the first time in forty years, Lebanese soldiers deployed on the 112 kilometer border with Israel. Less than a thousand Lebanese soldiers took up positions along the border, although unarmed Hizbollah men often manned the border crossings as well. The Hizbollah guys appear to be in charge, and have the final say. …Hizbollah leaders […]

“Almost one in 10 British Muslims would not inform police if they suspected that someone of the same faith was involved in a terror attack, a poll suggested. The ICM poll for the News of the World found 9% of the 502 questioned would not tell police if they had such suspicions about a fellow […]

In his interview with Fox News, Clinton says that conservatives criticized him for being too focused on Bin Laden. I can’t figure out what he was talking about since most so-called neo-cons were all for going after terrorist groups in the 1990s. Ace dug up what the response was to Clinton’s missile attacks on bin […]

Hugo Chavez made some moronic and rude comments about Bush at the UN, which included: “The devil is right at home. The devil — the devil, himself, is right in the house. And the devil came here yesterday. “Yesterday, the devil came here. Right here. Right here. And it smells of sulfur still today, this […]

Over at the Daily Kos, in a recommended diary, Bob Johnson suggests that Democrats, “Walk Out Of The Capitol.” “It’s time to shut down the government. Torture. The gutting of habeus corpus. And now this. An attack on Iran. These people are lunatics. Insane, fascist, psychotic, psychopathic, sociopathic lunatics. Our Democratic leaders must throw political […]

The New York Times has written a sob story about pear growers in California who suffered losses this year because they relied on illegal aliens who turned out to be in short supply this growing season: “Stepped-up border enforcement kept many illegal Mexican migrant workers out of California this year, farmers and labor contractors said, […]
