Question: “Do you read all the comments? Skim through them? What are your over all thoughts and impressions of the day to day dialogue here.” — cmcnally Answer: I usually read the first few replies on all the posts and on a good number of them, I read everything. However, this being the internet, a […]

Question: How do you respond to a liberal that says stuff like, “If you support Chimpy McHalliburtonstein’s war, then you should fight it. If not you are a hypocrite, zionist pig!!!!” I am exaggerating a bit, but you get my drift.” — bomberman Answer: So basically, how do you respond to someone who says, “You’re […]

Tomorrow will be Q&A Friday #18 at RWN. So, if there’s a subject you’ve been wanting me to tackle or an issue you want to hear my opinion on, just ask your question in the comments section. Your question can be about politics, ideology, history, blogging, RWN, from a liberal, conservative, or libertarian perspective; heck, […]

After you finish reading Right Wing News today, make sure to check out my other blog, Conservative Grapevine. Today at CG, there are multiple links to Rove vs. the wimpy liberal brouhaha, the Supreme Court vs. private property owners brouhaha and links to other…uh, brouhahas or something — like: — The top 9 signs that […]

“But, lest we build up the enemy into 10-foot-tall supermen, it’s important to realize how weak they actually are. Most of the conditions that existed in previous wars won by guerrillas, from Algeria in the 1950s to Afghanistan in the 1980s, aren’t present in Iraq. The rebels lack a unifying organization, ideology and leader. There […]

Democrats are terribly upset with Karl Rove for telling the truth about how wimpy, weak, and generally useless they’ve been in the war on terror. Here are the remarks from Rove that are drawing the Dems’ ire: “Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding […]

From CNN The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that local governments may seize people’s homes and businesses — even against their will — for private economic development. So much for private property rights. Kennedy and Souter voted with the majority, proving once again just how essential it is that Bush pick somebody reliably – and […]

As I perused the Democratic Underground, I came across another kooky Republicans =’s Nazis thread, which admittedly is rather unexceptional these days. While it would be easy to just call a moonbat a moonbat here, I decided to do something a little different this time. What I would like to do is reassure all you […]

Here’s an interesting juxtaposition: Dick Durbin’s comments on Gitmo and the Rasmussen polling data on how the American people view what’s going on at Gitmo. First, let’s look at Durbin’s infamous comments — which, by the way, were just the cherry on top of a Sundae of hysterical Democratic Party & MSM complaints about Gitmo: […]

Would this be a blockbuster or what? From Bill Kristol at the Weekly Standard: “Warning: THIS IS SPECULATION. Obviously, I think it’s somewhat well-informed speculation, or else I wouldn’t be writing this. But it is speculation. There will be a Supreme Court resignation within the next week. But it will be Justice O’Connor, not Chief […]

Since AFI’s Top 100 Movie Quotes is getting a lot of attention today, I just thought I’d point out that RWN has “been there, done that”. RWN’s 100 Favorite Movie Quotes Of All Time Here are some of my 12 faves from the list: 12) “Like maple syrup, Canada’s evil oozes over the United States.” […]

Ok, before I get started, I just want to allay your fears, I’m not going to be doing a post a day bashing MSM darling John McCain — well, until the 2008 nomination gets going, then I’m probably going to beat on John McCain the way I did Kerry last year. That being said, I […]

11-year-old Brennan Hawkins, missing for four days in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest, has been found alive by Michael Jackson. Rescuers say that the King of Pop was acquitted just in time to fly to Utah and save the boy. “It is like a miracle,” said rescue worker Aaron Anderson, “Michael arrived at the campsite and […]

“…Many studies have found that women make about 75 cents for every dollar a man earns. Activists say the pay difference is all about sexism. …But how could this be possible? Suppose you’re an employer doing the hiring. If a woman does equal work for 25 percent less money, businesses would get rich just by […]

Make sure to check out the latest links at my other blog, Conservative Grapevine. Here are just some of the headlines at CG today: — Dick Durbin finds a new torture victim: Otis the Drunk from Mayberry — Retro-Blogging: The famous faux lesbian pics featuring Wonkette & the Washingtonienne — The early 2006 Senate Scorecard […]

You see that bumper sticker? It represents my feelings. I do “heart” Gitmo. You know why? Because we do lock up terrorists there…and not just any terrorists, terrorists who are determined to see Americans die. Am I concerned about their rights? About as concerned as I would have been about the rights of Nazis captured […]

Mainly because of name recognition, John McCain, like Joe Lieberman in 2000, tends to do pretty well when polls are taken on who’s going to be the Republican nominee in 2008. Furthermore, since McCain is the favorite Republican of the mainstream, they love to come up with little scenarios that allow him to become the […]

Sen. Dick Durbin, who recently compared U.S. personnel at the Guantánamo Bay terrorist-detention facility to Nazis, took the Senate floor today to slam U.S. troops in Iraq for their “progressive poisoning” of the imprisoned Saddam Hussein with snack foods. The Illinois Democrat’s criticism follows published reports that the former Iraqi president sometimes eats an entire […]

Here’s my entry in the Who Is Screwing Up America survey with short but sweet explanations for whom I selected: The six non-conservative Supremes have probably done as much damage as the rest of the list put together: Stephen Breyer Ruth Bader Ginsburg John Paul Stevens Sandra Day O’Connor Anthony Kennedy David Souter The two […]

Right Wing News emailed more than 200 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to send us a list of whom they believed was “screwing up America.” Representatives from the following 47 blogs responded… Absinthe & Cookies, The Anchoress, Annika’s Journal, AtlanticBlog, Babalu Blog, Baldilocks, Being American in T.O., Betsy’s Page, Blogs For Bush, Boi From Troy, […]

Former President Bill Clinton today said that if the scandal-plagued terrorist detention facility at Guantánamo Bay isn’t “cleaned up or closed down” then insurgents in Iraq may resort to killing Iraqis, and could even begin attacking U.S. troops. “If the United States gets a reputation in the Muslim world of mistreating terrorist prisoners,” said Mr. […]

I blame Thomas Friedman for this transparent idiocy: Why all the fuss over a seemingly technical point of law? This debate is driven by outcomes. In each of the recent cases in which invoking foreign law has sparked controversy, the decisions have been progressive or liberal. But a lot of international law is not so […]

Now any conservative can tell you that Robert Byrd, the man the left likes to call the “conscience of the Senate,” is a former klansman. That’s old — but entertaining news — that’s always fun to toss in the left’s face. I mean, here is this old bigot, this old klansman — and all these […]

“Last Tuesday, Senator Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, quoted a report of U.S. “atrocities” at Guantanamo and then added: “If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done […]

Now this is a Che Guevara shirt that someone who isn’t a smelly hippy, an empty headed Paris Hilton clone, or a Commie could actually wear with pride: I only wish I’d come up with it first. But unfortunately, the fine folks at Che-Mart came up with it first. Ah well…anyway, if you want to […]

I’d really appreciate it if you could check out just a few of my advertisers. Come on, it’s not as if I’m asking you for money, right? How long would it take to check out — let’s say 3 advertisers — not very long and it makes a big difference….and I’m not just saying that […]

The Democrats haven’t just gone “round the bend,” they’ve gone round the bend, down the street, and off to fairy land, where the moonbats dance and play in the dappled moonlight and everyone capers around in their pretty tinfoil hats. It starts with the Democratic equivalent of a little girl’s tea party with her imaginary […]
