It’s time to take another trip into the moral equivalence sewer that so much of the American left seems to enjoy frolicking in these days. So put on your rubber galoshes and get ready for these quotes from the Democratic Underground thread called “Are Americans supposed to be better than Al Qaeda?“ — DrWeird: Are […]

Yes, you read that title right. Lynndie England, who’s now infamous for mocking naked Iraqi prisoners in the Abu Ghraib abuse photos, has a fansite. And the guy seems obsessed with taking her to Denny’s for some reason. “Yum…I wish I could take her to Denny’s for some coffee.” Hey, she has a stint in […]

Normally, I don’t bother to comment about banning someone from RWN because it only encourages them to try to be pests, but today, just this once, I thought I would. You see, I banned somebody today from the comments section and indignation about it was so the over-the-top, that I thought might be entertaining enough […]

In the wake of the International Olympic Committee’s decision to allow transsexuals to compete as women, Carl Lewis announced that he had always been a girl at heart. “When the boys played outside with their GI Joes and the girls played inside with their Barbies, I always felt more comfortable staying indoors, combing Barbie’s hair, […]

If there was such a thing as a “Warblogger Magazine,” this is about what it would look like…

One of the more bizarre Kerry campaign talking points is the repeated assertion that President Bush “has no record to run on.” Kerry even used it himself on Meet the Press. This is nonsense, to the point where you wonder how stupid these guys think the voters really are. If you take off your partisan […]

Abu Ghraib would never have been a front page story in the first place without the sickening, S&M style photos that the press got their hands on. But now, since it has been awhile and there appear to be no new photos forthcoming, the story is starting to peter out. So in an effort to […]

After the King of Jordan encouraged Palestinian leader Yassir Arafat to “have a long look in the mirror to be able to see whether his position is helping the Palestinian cause or not“, Mr. Arafat reported today that he has “seen the face of terror.” “I was shocked and dismayed,” said Mr. Arafat. “All of […]

Once again, it’s time to rank my favorite 40 blogs, this time for the 2nd quarter of 2004. You can see last quarter’s results here. Do keep in mind that as the quarter has progressed, some blogs have of course moved and others have dropped, based on how often I visit them, how much I […]

According to a Newsweek poll taken last November, 53 percent of all Independents do not favor George W. Bush. This just goes to show you how misinformed independents are of the costs and dangers which linger if George W. Bush isn’t reelected. As an Independent allied with The Right, I urge all Independents to stop […]

Today in Massachusetts, gay marriage became the law of the land. Even though Massachusetts is one of the most liberal states in the union, gay marriage couldn’t win at the ballot box or in the legislature. No, it won in the courts, where four Massachusetts Supreme Court Justices overrode the will of the people and […]

It is absolutely outrageous that US Olympic officials have told American athletes not to wave the flag at the Olympics. Here’s what US Olympic Committee consultant “Mike Moran had to say, “What I am telling the athletes is, ‘Don’t run over and grab a flag and take it round the track with you.’ It’s not […]

Hi everyone. I’m John Kerry, the Democratic nominee for president. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for disturbing your busy schedules. Ever since I won the nomination a couple of months ago I have tried to stay out of your way as much as possible. I am proud to say that my […]

There are those who say we can’t help Iraq become a Democracy; they’re wrong. They say we should pull out; they’re mistaken. They claim it’s pointless to continue, but they have no sense of history or perspective. To those who say… A lot of Iraqis have soured on the occupation and don’t like American troops!: […]

Mark Dubbin, the author of “Shadow Patriot” bought another main page ad on RWN to get the word out about his book. Here’s the description of it from Amazon… “The events of 9/11 affected many things in New York and the Mafia was no exception. Business suffered for Don Remondini after the attack, but he […]

One thing a lot of people are unaware of is how strongly opposed the American people were to getting involved in WW2 before Pearl Harbor. But in reality, as much as 80% of American public, pre-Pearl Harbor, opposed military intervention in the second world war. That was because of a number of factors. Americans felt […]

Before George Bush came into office or immediately after depending on who you believe, we had a recession. The bursting of the tech bubble and accounting scandals dragged down the stock market. 9/11 was a devastating blow to the economy and the uncertainty caused by war certainly hasn’t helped matters. So what did George Bush […]

New polls released today by the Alliance for Next Generation Leadership suggest that President George W. Bush and presumptive Democratic nominee Senator John F. Kerry are running neck-and-neck among young voters. Among those polled aged 18-25, Bush led Kerry 47 percent to 45 percent. Bush and Kerry maintained their positions when faced by independent candidate […]

John Kerry — or as I think of him, Senator Flip-Flop — is still largely getting a free pass from the media on most of the ridiculous things he has said. But, I don’t give Massachusetts liberals who are running for President free passes. That’s why I’ve put out the third version of John Kerry […]

In the comments section of my “If The Media Treated Basketball Like They Treat The War On Terror” column at the Command Post there was an absolutely brilliant piece written by someone called Garnet Girl. It was long, well written, funny and personally I thought it would be a shame for that phenomenal piece of […]

I have held off on talking on some of the things said by Nick Berg’s father out of respect for his loss. Losing your son is tough under any circumstances. But, having him die in such a horrible and public fashion is that much worse. However, Michael Berg has been continuously, unfairly, denouncing President Bush […]

Dan Koppel: I’m your announcer Dan Koppel here with my co-hosts Peter Brokaw and Laurie Malkin. It’s late in the third quarter and the Damascus Jihadis have the LA Lakers on the ropes. It has been a dominating performance by the Jihadis… Peter Brokaw: You said it Dan! Nothing has gone right for the Lakers […]

Out of pity, I gave some advice to John Kerry, but here is some even better advice for President Bush. I want him to win reelection so that terrorists continue to die and my taxes continue to get cut – things quite important to me. So, if you’re President Bush, please read and consider this […]

Who killed Nick Berg? Was it Al-Qaeda? A group of Iraqis who just pretended to be part of Al-Qaeda…or was it “People working for U.S. Government”? If you guessed “People working for U.S. Government,” then you’re currently in agreement with 73% of the 92 people at the Democratic Underground who voted in the “Who killed […]

I spent time today comparing state polls done in the last three weeks or so to the final results in 2000 election. I know, I know, it’s still really early, a lot of people aren’t paying attention yet, all the states haven’t been polled, etc. That being said, it was quite interesting to note how […]

U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld should resign immediately to demonstrate to the global community how the American justice system works, according to Democrat presidential hopeful John Forbes Kerry. “Our system of justice says that a man is innocent until drummed out of office through the outcry of his political opponents,” said Mr. Kerry. “Our […]

Robert Novak — among others — is claiming that Rummy’s toast… “While the White House officially vowed Rumsfeld’s retention, there was no reinforcement in his natural political constituency. Last week, I talked to Republican members of Congress, GOP fund-raisers and contributors, defense consultants and even one senior official of a coalition partner. The clear consensus […]

Here a few comments from a thread at the Democratic Underground called “MIlitary’s Black Heart Exposed“. Judge for yourself whether these opinions you’re about to see from the DU are representative of what a significant portion of the left actually thinks. Personally, I believe they do… indigobusiness: “MIlitary’s Black Heart Exposed. There are many good […]

I’m looking for some ideas for the next Bloggers Select poll. So, is there anything you’d like to see conservative bloggers polled on? If so, add it in the comments section. If I like your suggestion, I may very well use it…

The so-called ‘Arab Street’ erupted in rage and grief today, as devoted Muslims crowded into public squares by the hundreds of thousands, in dozens of cities, to denounce the brutal videotaped beheading of American Nicholas Berg by Muslim extremists affiliated with Al Qaeda. “This is an outrageous, disgusting and obscene act of evil done in […]
