I’m a fan of Kathleen Parker’s work, but I think she’s worried about a horse getting out the barn that has already lived a long happy life, perished, been sent to the glue factory, and then gone up to that big horsie heaven in the sky. Here’s what Parker has to say about the blogosphere […]

There are these things called blogs out there run by salivating morons who work in lynch mobs to bring people down regardless of the facts. This seems like a dangerous new phenomenon, so I had my crack research staff find out all they could about blogs. FUN FACTS ABOUT BLOGS * The blog was invented […]

Since we’re now apparently trying to trick our enemies into thinking we’ve gone as soft as Canada by naming a submarine after incompetent, peanut farmin’, pacifist Jimmy Carter — why not take it to next level and really convince our enemies that we’re totally harmless? Why not build this… Hat tip goes to aengus66 of […]

This is a phenomenal story not just because it shows the warped, demoralizing view of what’s going on in America that the liberal MSM presents to our troops risking their lives in Iraq, but because it’s great to see the appreciation that so many Americans have for the sacrifices our soliders are making for this […]

I expand on this reponse to Jamal Badawi’s offer of a million dollars to anyone who can find that the Qur’an condones religious warfare, and explore the implications of the offer, in FrontPage today. (By the way, I heard from Dr. Badawi last night, but alas, he didn’t ask me where he should send the […]

The U.S. Navy on Saturday will commission its newest nuclear-powered attack submarine, the Jimmy Carter, with many new features, including multiple-warhead Nerf missiles. President Carter, who brought peace to the middle east, vigorously defended America’s right to give away the Panama Canal and, in 1994, convinced North Korea to abandon talking about its nuclear weapons, […]

Once Howard Dean’s presidential campaign went down in flames, I didn’t even bother to put “Howard Dean in quotes” in the quotes section. But now that “Mad How” is back in business running the DNC, it’s time to recap some of the greatest hits of the man who’s now the official face of the Democratic […]

Boy, with great ideas like this one, Howard Dean is guaranteed to take the Democrats straight to the top! “The new chairman of the US Democratic Party, Howard Dean, cautioned his party members to avoid using the term “pro-choice” when referring to themselves, in order not to alienate potential conservative voters. Dean, making the comments […]

Prepare yourself, folks, because you are about to read excerpts of a column from a liberal who’s being… ****Drumroll please**** honest and, yes, he confirms a few rotten things you probably always thought a lot of liberals believed, but didn’t have the guts to say out loud. Author Kurt Anderson in the New York Metro […]

Geeze, do those of us who are pro-life have to be as oversensitive as leftist PC weenies out there? Does this sort of enormous overreaction actually help the cause? “Pro-abortion Hollywood has sunk to a new low. Chris Rock, the person chosen to host the year’s premier entertainment awards show, has called abortion a ‘beautiful […]

Former Vermont Gov Unites GOP, Survey Indicates In a strong show of support for former Vermont Governor Howard Dean, 100% of likely Republican voters approve of Dr. Dean’s selection as Democratic Party chairman, a new survey indicates. The poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, reveals that Republicans are approximately twenty times […]

Let’s be honest here: if your car is stolen by aliens, bigfoot molests you, or you think there’s a ghost haunting your doghouse, I am probably not the guy you want to come to with that information. If you’ve read the ACPOTI section, that is not a hard thing to figure out. But, for some […]

This would almost be funny if it weren’t so tragic & perverse… “French politicians and activists seeking a new trial and freedom for convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal were welcomed in a Friday rally at City Hall and given replicas of the Liberty Bell. Mjenzi Traylor, the city’s first deputy director of commerce, told the […]

Just when you’ve seen the bottom of the feverswamp that the left loves to wallow in, along comes a story that truly shows the fathomless depths to which they’re happily willing to sink. I’ve already briefly touched on how the story has driven the left side of the blogosphere around the bend, the tale of […]

“College student Jayson Just commutes an odometer-spinning 2,000 miles a month. As CBS News Correspondent Sandra Hughes reports, his monthly gas bill once topped his car payment. “I was paying about $500 a month,” says Just. So Just bought a fuel efficient hybrid and said goodbye to his gas-guzzling BMW. And what kind of mileage […]

You might be a Democrat just like him, heck, you might even become President, but to Charles Rangel (and a lot of other liberals like him), if you come from Southern states like Arkansas or Texas, you’ll never be anything more than a redneck… “Rep. Charlie Rangel is blasting ex-President Bill Clinton as “a redneck” […]

Results of the recent democratic elections in Iraq show that voters failed to fill the power vacuum created when Saddam Hussein’s Baathist regime was overthrown, and instead elected a national assembly “destined to be a quagmire of compromise.” “How can this government achieve anything without a dominant political party backed by a fiercely loyal military?” […]

You would think that “Easongate” would lead to a bit of introspection among members of the old media considering the circumstances. Here we have a powerful figure in the media, Eason Jordan, CNN’s chief news executive, apparently claiming that the military was targeting journalists. The story blew up all across the right side of the […]

RWN got another mention on CNN in an Eason Jordan related segment called Bitten by Blogs. It’s nothing too flashy, occurs at roughly the 2:33 mark on the video, and I believe they’re referring to The Top 125 Political Websites On The Net Version 5.0.

One of the ideas that many members of the kooky left buy into is that every time a prominent Democrat dies, it’s because George Bush had him killed. If — God forbid — a Democratic Senator were killed tomorrow in a plane crash, car wreck, by a fatal disease, you name it, left-wingers across the […]

Boy howdy, I likes me them essay contests. Trouble is, I think they’re rigged. Like a couple of years ago, when the DNC had an essay contest on the theme of “Why I Am a Democrat.” Even after emailing them my entry twenty or thirty times, and after several hundred follow-up phone calls, I still […]

These advertisers spent good money with RWN and being a capitalist, I like to make sure they get their money’s worth. So, how ’bout checking out a few of the links below? It’s good for me, it’s good for RWN, heck, it’s even good for the whole blogosphere. The better advertisers do in the blogosphere, […]

Peter Schweizer is the author of several books including Reagan’s War: The Epic Story of His Forty Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism & was the Executive Producer of “In The Face Of Evil: Reagan’s War In War And Deed.” I was a huge fan of the book and the movie, would highly recommend […]

That’s it for Q&A Friday! Thanks for the great questions, it was a lot of fun. See you on Monday!

Question: “What’s your beef with Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Pat Buchanan?” — Belwar Answer: I don’t like Robertson and Falwell because both of them have really bad cases of “foot’n’mouth disease”. Every few months, one of those two goofs seems to say something that’s just astonishingly stupid, ill-thought out, and nearly impossible to defend. […]

Question: “Why is it that Republicans justify cutting programs such as education and environmental conservation under the pretext that they cost too much, and yet they cry bloody murder if anyone even suggests cutting down on the half-trillion dollar defense budget?” — Oliver Answer: Liberals advocate enormously expensive programs that achieve nothing like Kyoto on […]

Question: “1. Aside from the diplomatic measures, what do you think the administration has planned for Iran and North Korea?” — BoilerFox04 Answer: In North Korea, because we have Russia, China, South Korea, and Japan on board, I expect to see us reach a diplomatic solution. With their cooperation, we have the option of putting […]

First, bloggers dragged down Trent Lott. After that, Dan Rather was the next big name to go down under the relentless fury of the blogosphere’s assault. Well, now we can add another name to that list, because Eason Jordan has been overwhelmed by the swarm… “CNN chief news executive Eason Jordan quit Friday amidst a […]

Question: “What moderate or at least rational and intelligent Democrat blogs or writers can you suggest people read (for example, scifi writer Orson Scott Card)? I like getting the other viewpoint on things, but I don’t care to dig through the conspiracy theories, lunacy, and hate on too many of the leftwing sites.” — Christopher_Taylor […]

Question: “Here’s my question: How do you deal with friends who are unabashedly liberal? Given how… passionate they feel about some topics (Bush, Iraq), it can sometimes get a little tense.” — Jonathan (Via Email) Answer: Here’s my advice about talking politics to your liberal friends: Don’t. Liberals tend to get particularly emotional about political […]
