Recently, I actually had someone ask me “What do conservatives believe?” After answering his question, it occurred to me that there are probably a lot of people out there, who are new to politics, who are wondering the same thing, “What do conservatives believe? Why do we take the positions we do? Are liberals right […]

Most of the American press (and for that matter the British press) have done an abysmal job of covering what’s going on Iraq. What’s my beef with their coverage? Well, before I get into that, let me show you what quality coverage looks like. Here’s StrategyPage on what’s happening in Iraq as of May 9th… […]

My favorite 25 political websites on the net, in order. Do keep in mind that these sorts of lists change all the time. Websites go up and down, pages come on and go off the list, etc, etc. With that being said, here are my current selections… 25) Glenn Beck Program 24) DANEgerus Weblog 23) […]

Last week, I covered loopy Libertarian, Lew Rockwell’s oddball plan to replace all of our troops in Iraq with Jimmy Carter and a few diplomats who would be setting up an election so the “wildly popular” Saddam could sweep to victory at the ballot box. But, if you thought that was a farfetched scheme, you […]

New York – A study has revealed that people who use cell phones are much, much more important than other people. According to the study, led by Dr. Henry Crankhore, people who are seen using cell phones in public places are more likely to be thought of as big-@ss important people, whereas people who don’t […]

IMAMS: “YOU HAD US AT ‘SORRY’” Washington – The recent apology of US President George W. Bush for abuses by American military prison guards continued to reverberate around the globe today, as the White House was again inundated with with a flurry of “apology accepted” notes from world media, governmental leaders, and Islamic fundamentalist clerics. […]

Senator John Kerry, Democrat candidate for President, said yesterday during an address to the American Chamber of Commerce, that if elected he intends to give back the Louisiana Purchase to France. “America owes everything to France,” said Senator Kerry. “No other country has treated us so poorly over the years. If it weren’t for France, […]

Lookie, lookie! RWN has inspired an urban legend at Snopes. That certainly doesn’t happen every day…

Democrat presidential hopeful, and Vietnam veteran, John Forbes Kerry today said President George Bush is “not fit to be disgusted” at photos of U.S. military prison guards hazing Iraqi prisoners. The president recently granted two interviews with Arab-language TV networks, telling reporters that he found the actions of the prison guards to be “abhorrent.” But […]

Here’s aging rapper, MCA of the Beastie Boys, on why he doesn’t like George Bush… “He’s just a sick f***. I think we’d be hard-pressed to get someone worse than Bush. I think if you had to sum it up he’s an incredibly selfish man and his administration in my opinion puts Americans ahead of […]

It goes without saying that the Paleocons and anti-war left have written some squirrelly things about Iraq. But, I have to admit that I haven’t seen many columns about Iraq more off kilter than this one by wildly popular “Big L” Libertarian Lew Rockwell. In all seriousness, I cannot imagine how any knowledgeable person could […]

Officials of the presidential campaign of John F. “Frenchy” Kerry have admitted that Senator Kerry has secretly divorced his multi-millionaire wife Teresa Heinz-Kerry and will wed billionaire investor Warren Buffett. Citing “irreconcilable financial differences,” lawyers for Senator Kerry allege that Ms. Heinz duped their client into marriage with false claims of her being the “world’s […]

Are you sick and tired of listening to people compare George Bush to Hitler? Do you want to do something to fight back against all the demonization? Well, let me tell you how to do it. Take these links I’m about to give you and send them out to your friends. Bush pauses to comfort […]

After one of the bloodiest months of fighting in Europe, House Republican leaders called for all United States forces to be withdrawn from Europe. “This is a quagmire,” said one house member. “There is no evidence whatsoever that Nazi Germany had any connection to the attacks of 12/07 and fighting with Germany is a distraction […]

Ya know, like most people, I’ve think the torture of prisoners in Iraq was nothing less than despicable. As a matter of fact, last week I called for court martials & prison sentences for the people responsible. That being said, the media’s general reaction to this situation has been staggeringly overwrought & monstrously overblown. This […]

Every day, every day of the week, John Kerry should get on his knees and thank the Lord that the press so liberal. Here’s a guy whose campaign theme is basically “Vote for me because I won medals in Vietnam” and yet, when Kerry’s takes MONSTER broadsides on the whole Vietnam front, the press is […]

Most often people will disagree on issues of the day, but just because someone doesn’t think like you doesn’t mean you should call him evil and kill him. That’s what Islamic extremists and the majority of posters at Democratic Underground would do. Instead, following these steps you can have a nice discussion with someone with […]

It has been 6 long months since the last time I used Alexa to rank the top 125 political websites on the net and I thought it was about time to do it again. So, if you’re looking for the most popular political websites on the internet, then today is your lucky day….(Cont)

By no stretch of the imagination can things be said to have gone swimmingly in Iraq of late. To the contrary, it has been one thing after another. The murders and mutilations of American contractors in Fallujah, the Al-Sadr uprising, half of the Iraqi forces chickening out or changing sides, bad poll numbers from the […]

Concerned that Americans do not yet know Sen. John Forbes Kerry, his presidential campaign has launched a $25 million TV advertising burst which reveals that the candidate served in the Navy during the Vietnam war. The ad campaign, called A Lifetime of Talking About a Few Months in the Service, focuses on a little-known chapter […]

The U.S. military command in Iraq has ordered former Iraqi Maj. Gen. Jasim Mohammed Saleh to undergo what it called a “Queer Eye” makeover to make the former Saddam Hussein loyalist look less like Saddam Hussein, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmed today. In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, General Richard […]

At long last, I’ve gotten around to reading Mark Steyn’s superb book, “The Face of the Tiger” and as you’d expect, it was typical Steyn — i.e. a fantastic read. I’d certainly recommend the book to anyone and just to whet your appetite, here are my favorite quotations from Steyn’s tome… (Cont)

If we had a Democratic incumbent in the White House and there was a Republican running almost entirely on his military record, this news would be on the front page of every paper in America in screaming 3 inch high type… “Hundreds of former commanders and military colleagues of presumptive Democratic nominee John Kerry are […]

Has moonbat courtin’ potential veep Wesley Clark been advising John Kerry on how to fire up an audience full of Democrats? If so, it would explain this… “Speaking on a live local broadcast at a campaign stop in Toledo, Ohio in front of 300 people, Kerry blasted Bush for being an illegitimately elected president in […]

ABC-TV journalist Ted Koppel, who caused a firestorm of controversy with his plan to read the names of U.S. troops killed in Iraq, today announced that in the interest of balance and fairness, next week he will read another list on his show, Nightline. “I would never want anyone to accuse me of bias. After […]

I was very pleased to get an opportunity to do a phone interview with immigration expert, Mark Krikorian, the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies. Mark is as well informed on immigration issues as anyone you’re ever going to hear from and I think you’ll find his comments of legal and illegal immigration […]

There has been quite a bit of debate about Ted Koppel’s attempt to gin up ratings by reading the names of all the soldiers KIA in Iraq on Nightline tonight. Of course, they’re claiming this is simply a “tribute to the dead” and the fact that it’s occurring during sweeps is pure coincidence — sure […]
