“We’re the party that wants to see an America in which people can still get rich.” — Ronald Reagan “Behind every great fortune there is a crime.” — Honore de Balzac The two quotes you’ve just read do a great job of representing how most liberals and conservatives view the rich. Conservatives believe that America […]

At Haditha, some Marines were hit with a roadside bomb and there’s controversy about what happened next. The accusation, that may or may not be true, is that those Marines responded to the attack by deliberately murdering 24 innocent Iraqis in cold blood. Is it true? Is it not true? It’s unknown at this point […]

A man serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife is asking a federal judge to order the state to pay for a sex-change operation for him, saying that denying him the surgery amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, according to Breitbart. Let me walk you through this: The man killed someone and […]

Giving people a chance to win a million dollars just by voting? Sound crazy? Well, it may happen in Arizona: “If someone offered you a chance at $1 million just for going to the polls, would you do it? It appears that Arizonans will get the chance to decide for themselves. A measure to create […]

For a guy who loves to claim that there is a Republican, “culture of corruption,” Harry Reid sure does seem to get caught with his hand in the cookie jar a lot. First of all, he loaded up on money from clients of Jack Abramoff and unlike a lot of other politicians in the same […]

Hilariously, RNC strategist Matthew Dowd is trying to claim that Americans absolutely love the Senate’s amnesty plan and they hate the House’s plan: “Dowd’s memo says that an internal RNC poll conducted by Jan Van Louhuzen finds that “overwhelming support exists for a temporary worker program. 80% of all voters, 83% of Republicans, and 79% […]

As I write this, today feels like a day to just “vent,” so here goes… I’m sick of hearing about high gas prices. The national media is obsessed with the issue, hoping that the more stories they run about big, evil, price-gouging oil companies versus poor, victimized, SUV-driving consumers, the more the American people simultaneously […]

I’m on vacation, but I just wanted to take a moment today to say thanks to all the soldiers, past and present, who’ve made up the backbone of this country. From Washington, to Jackson, to Grant, to Pershing, to Patton, to MacArthur, to Franks…from Bunker Hill, to Meuse-Argonne, to Midway, Inchon, and Fallujah — from […]

The Senate has voted 62 to 36, to pass an amnesty bill that rewards illegals, doesn’t secure the borders, and that may lead, over the next twenty years, to America being flooded with somewhere between 60-95 million uneducated workers (depending on whose numbers you believe). This bill won’t stop the flow of illegals, it’ll cause […]

RWN’s Answering 13 Frequently Asked Questions About Illegal Immigration column must have really stuck with Rush, because he linked it again today. He also linked the Interview With Mark Krikorian. Thanks, Rush! PS: I love the McCain graphic.

“In the United States of America, unfortunately we still live in a bubble of unreality. And the Category 5 denial is an enormous obstacle to any discussion of solutions. Nobody is interested in solutions if they don’t think there’s a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of […]

Just to give you an idea of how much work the GOP has to do, I thought I’d share some of the feedback I received yesterday — via comments and email — after writing a column that urged conservatives to vote for the GOP in 2006. As you read this, keep in mind that the […]

Undoubtedly, Nancy Pelosi’s request that William Jefferson step down from the Ways and Means Committee was politically motivated. After all, it’s hard to credibly claim that people should vote against the Republicans because they’re corrupt when one of your own party members was caught on tape taking a bribe and the money was later found […]

One of my favorite Senators, Jim DeMint, put this article out today and his press people gave me permission to run it on Right Wing News. 1.

“I don’t think Jesus would be mad at me and the message I’m trying to send.” — Madonna on her fake crucifixion Yes, I’m sure Jesus just loves it when whorish, aging pop stars try to draw attention to themselves by mocking the terrible suffering he endured when he sacrificed himself for all mankind.

“It is strange, but here’s how liberals think: If there is a strategic advantage to America taking military action against a corrupt and murderous regime, we must not do so. The mission may be justifiable on moral grounds, but the possibility that America herself will gain from taking the action taints it too much to […]

Over the last few weeks, the conservative blogosphere and punditocracy have been aiming a wave of venom at the GOP in Washington that’s so wide and deep that you could practically surf on it. The grumbling over out-of-control spending, the Gang-of-14 compromise, Harriet Miers, the Dubai Port deal, and most of all, illegal immigration, has […]

Earlier this morning, I was pleased to get an opportunity to be in on a teleconference with former Reagan Attorney General Ed Meese and Matt Spaulding from the Center For Immigration Studies. Mr. Meese has just written a column about the Senate’s immigration bill called, “An Amnesty by Any Other Name …. Keep in mind […]

Want to see what our future is if the Senate gets its way on illegal immigration? Then look at this excerpt from an MSNBC article about Germany’s guest worker program. It’s so familiar that it’s almost feels like deja vu…. “Germany is home to millions of immigrants, 3 million of whom are Muslim. The majority […]

This week-end, John McCain was heckled at a college commencement ceremony. On the one hand, if anyone in American politics deserves to be heckled, it’s John McCain. Personally, I have the urge to yell, “You suck,” at the television screen every time I see his face. But still…is a commencement ceremony a proper place for […]

Unfortunately for the Democrats, who wanted the election to be about the supposed Republican, “culture of corruption,” they’ve actually got a guy in office who’s so crooked that he makes a circle look straight. Yes, good old William Jefferson. It’s bad enough that he managed to get caught on tape taking money from an FBI […]
