“…(T)he UN is a shamefully squalid organization whose corruption is almost impossible to exaggerate. If you think—as the media and the left do in this country—that Iraq is a God-awful mess (which it’s not), then try being the Balkans or Sudan or even Cyprus or anywhere where the problem’s been left to the United Nations.

This just frosts me because it touches on one of my political pet peeves: Republicans sucking up to the NAACP. The NAACP’s leader, Julian Bond, is no stranger to controversy and irresponsible rhetoric. In 2004, the NAACP Chairman compared the Republican Party to the Taliban regime. Bond told a raucous crowd that the GOP’s “idea […]

Take a look at this snort worthy excerpt from an Associated Press piece on Gorbachev: “Mikhail Gorbachev’s magnetic brown eyes shine as brightly as ever, and he speaks with the same passion about the collapse of the Soviet Union as he prepares to mark his 75th birthday on Thursday. The man who ended the Cold […]

“The Reverse Crusades” That’s what some of my friends still in the Special Ops community have been calling the War on Terror since 9/11 (and maybe since Khobar – I just may not have been paying attention). We’re fighting the crusaders this time – crusaders that want us either converted to their religion or dead. […]

Last week, my traffic took a hit and this week it has been even more pronounced. I’m going to estimate that I’ve dropped from 9,500 daily uniques from two weeks ago to around 8500 or so now. I couldn’t think of any controversial posts that I made that could explain that sort of dip, so […]

With all due respect: Who the hell wasn’t warned? I was warned. You wer warned. Everyone in New Orleans, Louisiana, the entire Gulf Coast and, for that matter, every tuna-boat mate in Nome, Alaska was warned. For five days running that’s what all the talk on TV was about. The breaching of the levees was […]

An email from a reader… From: Angela Filarecki (angelagc11@*******) Subject: question on war spending I understand that you do not have time to answer my question, although it would mean a lot to me to hear a conservative’s perspective. My question and concern lies with the federal budget. How can one justify the amount of […]

From Michelle Malkin: “Here’s GOP strategist and Muslim voter outreach architect Grover Norquist in the Los Angeles Times dismissing critics of the deal: “The only whiners left by next week will be the registered bigots.” Conservative commentator Larry Kudlow: “This whole brouhaha surrounding the Bush administration’s green-light to a United Arab Emirates company slated to […]

Mike Pence’s Republican Study Committee, one of the groups in Congress that really looks out for conservative interests, has announced their “Top Ten” legislative priorities for 2006. They are as follows: 1. Make the Tax Cuts Permanent, including the repeal of the marriage-tax penalty and the death tax and pass fundamental tax reform. 2. Pass […]

Believe it or not, what you’re about to read was actually broadcast on Al-Jazeera (thanks to Memri for the translation). On the other hand, this was said by an atheist Wafa Sultan, so it’s not an example of a “moderate” Muslim attempting to “speak the truth to power.” Still, it’s good to see that there […]

I’d recommend that burrito; you don’t want any of that ‘bad energy’ of animal murder when we die in a flaming holocaust of twist metal. Which we’ll be doing in (checks watch) about five minutes now. Fresca?” 9. “Joining us in the cockpit is […]

In the past, to inspire people to suggest new music that I might be interested in and just for entertainment’s sake, I’ve posted the music I was currently listening to on RWN.

Are you ready for a dose of the Palestinian culture of death at its absolute worst? Then just take a look at this: “In spite of PA pledges not to incite, an interview broadcast last week featured the mother of Wafa Al-Bas, the 21-year-old Arab woman from Gaza who was arrested at the Erez Crossing […]

Today, we’re going to look at two of the techniques that are often used by the mainstream media to slant polls against Republicans, both of which are on display in the latest CBS poll. Let’s start with the sexy headline and the first paragraph of the CBS piece on the poll: Poll: Bush Ratings At […]

In a President’s first term, he’s compared to the President who came before him. So, the goal is not to appear to go backwards in any vitally important areas while improving on the former President’s weak spots. However, the second term of a presidency is about the weak spots of the President currently in office. […]

One of Mark Steyn’s readers asked him a fascinating question: “(Mark), I am a devoted fan of yours, but I do have a fundamental question regarding your repeated articles on demography. Is demography or democracy the stronger force? Which will triumph in the end? C’mon Mark, please address this in a future article. I am […]

That is what it is looking like. Russell Roberts at Cafe Hayek points to this New York Times article that paints and interesting picture in Canada. Here are the key paragraphs, The country’s publicly financed health insurance system — frequently described as the third rail of its political system and a core value of its […]

Many people are saying we should leave Iraq. This is not a good strategy for victory if you let me explain. You see, when you’re competing at something and suddenly leave, you lose. Like most people, I’ve been watching Olympic curling. Sometimes, one team would be so far behind that, instead of playing to the […]

It has been often said that the war on terror is a different kind of war. Indeed it is because our enemies are not just the terrorists and the rogue states that back them, but to a lesser extent, the radical Islamists who identify with the terrorists. Although we’re not bombing people for supporting Sharia, […]

You know how Republicans always accuse Democrats of not having any new ideas? Well, whatever you may think of what you’re about to read, at least it qualifies as a plan… “Storm the White House Multi-Day Event, Beginning March 15, come when you can and stay as long as you can – we are taking […]

Just when you thought Ted Rall couldn’t get any more disgusting, he lies about the results of the 9/11 commission’s report, in an attempt to malign the passengers of Flight 93, so he can spin a conspiracy theory — and all of this is in one cartoon. Here are the last two panels of the […]

Politics is generally a slimly and sleazy business, but this is another new low: Illegals-advocate group to stalk Minutemen kids.

On Friday of last week, the media was looking at what was happening in Iraq and screaming, “Civil War! Civil War! Civil War!” at the top of their lungs. Here’s what I was saying at the same time: “(T)he media has been saying the exact same thing they’re saying today for 3 years, they’ve been […]
