The archetype of the America hating left-winger, Ted Rall, has spewed forth just the sort of drivel you’d expect to see in a column entitled “Boycott The Military”. You know, things like “World War II, won six decades ago by a storied generation of draftees and volunteers, was fought to defend American freedom. But we […]

Poor people – they have plagued mankind since money was invented to distinguish the better people from the lesser. Not only are they annoying, but they need to eat even though many don’t have money for it. And guess who pays for that? That’s right – the non-poor. Not only do the poor expect free […]

I’ve long thought that the mainstream media does a lousy job of asking pertinent questions to candidates for office, particularly Democratic candidates. In fact, they do such a terrible job of it, that I believe I can come up with 10 questions in just 15 minutes that will be better than any 10 questions the […]

— The Media Research Center brings us the latest comments from Evan Thomas, the Assistant Managing Editor of Newsweek. If you ever needed more proof of the obvious liberal bias of the mainstream media, this is it…. “There’s one other base here: the media. Let’s talk a little media bias here. The media, I think, […]

Too often today, we hear people beating up big corporations. Liberals attack them, movies vilify them, politicians try to score cheap points with the public at their expense. But few people ever talk about everything that big corporations provide for America. They sell us quality goods and services, contribute vast sums to charity, and most […]

One of the things I’m working on right now is a list of my fave quotes from the Bible. Of course, as you all know, that is a massive undertaking. So, I was hoping that you could suggest some of your favorite quotes in the comments section. That would certainly be a helpful way to […]

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge today announced that the November presidential election will go on as scheduled despite his recent warning of terrorist threats to disrupt it, and news that a postponement plan may be in the works. “Central Intelligence misread the threat,” said Mr. Ridge. “They started with the presumption that terrorists want […]

The liberal curmudgeon once known as the “most trusted man in America,” Walter Cronkite, spews out the typical spiel in his latest column that we’ve heard from the left every time the Bush administration has tried to make the country more secure from terrorism… “The system of rights and liberties, checks and balances, created by […]

People are recycling less. In my home State of New Jersey the recycling rate for household garbage dropped for the fifth straight year in 2002, hitting 34 percent according to the most recent statistics available. Nationwide, it’s the same. The national average dropped to 27 percent in 2002, the most recent year for such data. […]

Barely Acknowledges Audience in Latest Appearance In the hopes of balancing the Democratic ticket, Sen. John Kerry today vowed that he would be “frostier and more aloof than ever before” to counter the warmth and charm of his vice-presidential running mate, Sen. John Edwards. “John Edwards really knows how to connect with voters,” Sen. Kerry […]

1) “John Kerry. In his 20 years in the Senate, he’s been a standard-issue Massachusetts liberal, with a lifetime rating from Americans for Democratic Action of 93 on their 0-100 scale. By contrast, the other Senator from the Bay State, Teddy Kennedy, has a lifetime rating of 88. “That makes Kennedy the conservative of the […]

I hope everyone enjoyed all the posts. I’ll be doing another Q&A Friday in 3-4 weeks. See you on Monday & have a nice week-end!

Question: “You’ve written several times that you support vouchers so children won’t be stuck in public schools that are failing to give them the skills they need. What would you say to people who are concerned that the good schools will become overcrowded if everyone has the option to attend any school they choose? Do […]

Question: “If you could ask kerry one question on live television, that he could not dodge, what would you ask him?” — acerocula7788 Answer: If John Kerry couldn’t dodge, if he had to tell the truth, I’d ask him, “Are you a liberal?” The moment he said “yes,” the election would be as good as […]

Question: “Would you comment on the ACLU and their threat of law suits to LA County and other areas for having “Christian” symbols on their seals? Do you think they’ll ever go so far as to threaten cities with lawsuits to change their Christian/Catholic names? (Like Sacramento?)” — Libby Answer: I think we have the […]

Question: “Who poses a greater threat to the principles of American republicanism: the leftists or neoconservatives?” — Goose Answer: I think ThaSickness covered this one pretty well in the comments section so I’ll just use his reply… “HAHAAHA! Is there ANY doubt? That’s like asking what tastes better… Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups or Sandpaper! Hahaha! […]

Question: “What do you think about Israel saying that they will use military force to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power?” — GodBlessAmerica Answer: As far as I’m concerned, we’d be better off going to war with Iran than letting them get nuclear weapons. If we allow a bunch of “Death to America” chanting, […]

Question: “Would you agree with me that Spider Man II is nothing more than a series of tired cliches and melodramatic, pseudo-tormented souls? Thumbs down on this one.” — huckupchuck Answer: Maybe I’m biased because Spider-Man was my favorite comic as a kid, but I thought it was a blast to see a super-hero whose […]

Question: “what do you think about vegetarianism” — johnson Answer: “I think it’s probably healthier for you than a diet containing meat. If they could make yams that tasted like fried chicken, green beans that tasted like steak, and squash that tasted like hamburger, I’d go vegetarian myself.”

Question: “Do you have any favorite, fictional characters that you believe to be conservative?” — CloaknBlade Answer: This is a tough question to answer because my favorite fictional character is Conan and it is of course a bit difficult to figure out which way he’d go on partial birth abortion and free trade. On the […]

Question: “Given that they have unsuccessfully tried the same tactics with Italian, Japanese and American hostages, why do you think Michael Moore’s “minutemen” are now threatening Filipino hostages with beheading unless they pull their forces out of the ‘unilateral Coalition?’” — Cujeau Answer: Fighting against American and British troops will get you killed, killing Iraqis […]

Question: “What is the significance, in your mind, of the Iraqi resistance group’s new threat to kill Abu Musab al-Zarqawi? Will there be more opposition to the foreign fighters in Iraq now that the occupation is officially over, or is the American presence enough to “provoke” the Iraqis that are supporting the insurgency to continue […]

Today, I’m doing the third Q&A Friday 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, […]

Question: “Do you think it would be worthwhile for conservatives to organize a march on Washington to show support for the war?” — Bildo Answer: No, I don’t. Those sorts of marches just don’t make any sort of lasting impact — just look at all the anti-war rallies in the run-up to the war in […]

Question: “What would it take to get Alan Keyes on the ticket should Cheney drop out?” — Ned_Schnittt Answer: Not. Going. To. Happen. The problem Alan Keyes has is that he’s a pundit, not a politician, and like most pundits, I don’t think he’s capable of making the transition. That’s not a slap at Alan […]

Former New York Senator Alfonse M. D’Amato is the latest person to suggest that W. drop Cheney from ticket… “Mr. D’Amato, famous for his blunt candor and shrewd political skills, has suggested twice in the past two days that Mr. Bush could replace Mr. Cheney with one of two big-name Republicans who he said could […]

I was pleased to hear that George Bush has once again declined at invitation to speak at the NAACP Annual Convention for two reasons. First off, while I think it’s important to try to reach out to conservative black voters, there aren’t any of them to be found at the NAACP. The NAACP is an […]

Made Over 100 Films in Early Seventies, Congressman Admits Presumptive Democratic nominee John Kerry named Senator John Edwards of North Carolina as his vice-presidential running mate after learning that his first choice, Rep. Richard Gephardt (D-Missouri), had appeared in over one hundred hardcore porn films in the early 1970s. Rep. Gephardt, who made the raunchy […]
