Jane Fonda is a despicable human who betrayed the United States during the Vietnam War. She collaborated with the enemy, made Tokyo Rose-style propaganda broadcasts for them, allowed herself to be pictured stationed at a NVA anti-aircraft artillery launcher, and she denied to the world that US soldiers were being tortured by the Vietcong. Jane […]

We’ve been waiting for the details on the recent Gallup Poll which showed opposition to same-sex marriage at an all-time high, and now we’ve got it. Some of the things which I thought especially interesting were the results which showed that younger people (18-29) support a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage by a 56/39 margin […]

“The upshot is that the crack trade, even at its market peak, was lucrative only for those at the top of a selling organization. The gang’s foot soldiers made less than minimum wage and faced a 1-in-4 risk of being killed over four years. (In the same time, being a timber cutter, the most dangerous […]

An RWN T-Shirt? Shouldn’t you be buying one of those about now?

I’m not a social conservative or a Catholic, so here’s all I have to say about Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger becoming the next Pope: #1) If someone as openly hostile to religious people as Andrew Sullivan is furious about Ratzinger becoming Pope, then that’s obviously a sign that he’s a great choice. The only way it […]

Any diehard footballs fans out there who love nothing better than sitting around on Sunday with a few friends and watching a game? Well, if that describes you, let me ask you a question: how much attention do you pay to referees? If you’re like the average fan, you may complain about a bad call […]

Michael Kinsley wrote a post about “neocon” foreign policy that misses the point in more ways than one. Here’s the crux of Kinsley’s argument: “The great neocon theme was tough-minded pragmatism in the face of liberal naivete. Liberals were sentimental. They believed that people were basically good or could easily be made so. Domestically, liberal […]

Guantanamo Bay, Cuba — Just six months after being captured by a Marine unit in Iraq, imprisoned terrorist and well-known “freedom-hater” Mohammed al Jaqar is finally content for the first time in his life. According to officials, al Jaqar spent time at terrorist training camps in Afghanistan before returning to Iraq and pledging his allegiance […]

Well, I had a “fun” afternoon. I did a little grocery shopping, picked up a few things for Patton at PETsMART and I picked up a nail in my tire. So I dropped the groceries off and headed to Wal-Mart where they took an hour and a half to patch it up (50 minutes to […]

Even though liberal media personalities continually deny the obvious, that the mainstream press is biased to the left, William Raspberry’s hyperventilation about Fox in his latest column was so willfully oblivious to reality that it bordered on being bizarre. Here’s Raspberry: “Fox News Channel — though the people who run the operation are at great […]

“The liberal Air America Radio, just past its first birthday, has probably enjoyed more free publicity than any enterprise in recent history. But don’t believe the hype: Air America’s left-wing answer to conservative talk radio is failing, just as previous efforts to find liberal Rush Limbaughs have failed. Wait a second, you say, didn’t I […]

Megan McArdle has an excellent post on why the Social Security Trust Fund isn’t really a trust fund: It’s time for another argument with liberal defenders of social security who argue that the social security trust fund is too real, because it’s got government bonds that have the Treasury secretary’s signature right on them! Any […]

Michelle Malkin & Power Line have been having problems with trackback spam (spammers who post the address of their website in the trackback). At one time, I also had a problem with trackback spam and comment spam (where spammers post advertisements in the comments section), but for the most part, I’ve managed to take care […]

Ann Coulter is not pleased with the pic that Time used of her on the cover this week: In the cover pic, the angle is such that Ann’s face is subtly distorted and it makes her look more mannish & less attractive. She almost looks like she has a sloping forehead in the picture. Just […]

If you advocate banning partial birth abortion, a procedure so gruesome that it belongs in a Quentin Tarantino movie, the left and some libertarians will castigate you for infringing on a woman’s right to choose, getting between a woman and her doctor, etc. Advocate banning ultrasounds, which are largely harmless and show parents their yet […]

Wouldn’t this be a great time to buy a t-shirt? I’m just saying…

“(W)hy is it that when a minor Republican staffer wrote that the Schiavo case was a “great political issue,” it was a scandal that was reported in every newspaper in America, whereas, when the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee says, “We’re going to use Terri Schiavo” in the 2006 and 2008 elections, the response […]

This morning at 7:35 A.M. I’m supposed to be doing a radio show out of Jamaica called “The Breakfast Club.” We are going to be “discussing the impact of neoconservatism on US foreign policy. What is neoconservatism? What is its philosophy? Who are the neoconservatists? What is the extent of their influence?” To the best […]

In “Sin City”, good is the exception, not the rule. If you meet an honest cop, politician, or citizen who is a decent human being who’s just living his life, he’s the oddball, the freak, the person living outside the norm. On the other hand, “Joe Citizen” in Sin City is a hooker with a […]

Want to know the favorite blogs of the biggest bloggers on the right? Well, RWN wanted to know as well, which is why we emailed them and asked them to send us their 10 favorite blogs, in no particular order. Those who responded have their lists posted below. No comments were requested, but any commentary […]

Question: “As a side note, do you think that the republicans are not taking Hillary seriously enough?” — liberty “Why do you think Republicans fear Hillary Clinton so much, given her long list of baggage and drawbacks?” — Christopher_Taylor Answer: Like any other candidate, Hillary Clinton has strengths and weaknesses. In her favor, she seems […]

Question: “The subject of animosity between the Palestinians and Israel is something that has been weighing on my mind for some time now. The land that was given to the Jews in 1948 had been promised to the Palestinians twice before by the British, who they fought beside. Why should the land have been given […]

Question: “In the past, you wrote that you support school vouchers. Won’t private schools that accept federal money have to face government regulation? The way I imagine it would play out is this: Private schools that choose not to accept voucher money, (because of fears of regulation) would have to close their doors. Why would […]

Question: :If you could choose, would you make a court up of 9 Scalia’s, 9 Thomas’s, or would you keep the current court?: — jayd42 Answer: I only support judges who view the role of the court the same way the Founding Fathers did and there are only three judges on the Supreme Court who […]

Question: “What do you think about the president not dipping into the national reserve to lower gas prices? With gas prices cheaper than they were 20 years ago (inflation corrected), I don’t see the big problem. I also believe that the reserve should be saved for a true emergency, not to lower prices. I do, […]

Question: In two parts: A) Do you trust polls that say that only about 50% of Americans would vote for a female president? (one recent poll showed more than 80% saying they would but only 50% thought their friend/family would). B) If this is true, what does it mean? Is it because a woman might […]

If you’re wondering why there’s no daily news today, it’s because I’m on vacation. However, before I left (on Thursday), I did prepare some answers for today’s Q&A Friday. While you’re waiting for me to get back, feel free to check out my advertisers along with the brand spanking new RWN T-Shirts…oh, and have a […]

After reading the latest column from Helen Thomas, I had to double check the calender to make sure it wasn’t April 1st because it’s hard to believe anyone could stoop to this level of self-parody. Here we have a blatantly partisan liberal columnist — who goes to White House press conferences and asks ridiculous questions […]

Taxes are due Friday. I still haven’t done mine, but I have my CPA fiancée to help me get it done and submitted online. Others aren’t so lucky, and thus I sent my crack research team to find out as much as they can about taxes. FUN FACTS ABOUT TAXES * Taxes strike violently without […]

“Debate over judicial appointments used to be more decorous, largely because the stakes were lower. If we empowered the head of the U.S. Postal Service to rule vast swaths of our lives, we’d have huge confirmation battles over the postmaster general. For good or ill — and I certainly think for ill — the days […]
