Some people would have you believe that Bush lied about Iraq’s WMDs. I believe that they’re the ones attempting to mislead the American people about how our intelligence agencies work. Unanimity among all members of every intelligence agency on anything is the exception, not the rule. So today, to try to go back and cherry […]

John Kerry has been mocked — and rightly so — for incessantly talking about Vietnam and comparing his service in Vietnam to Bush’s service in the National Guard. But amazingly enough, today on the Don Imus show, John Kerry apparently grew tired of talking about the Vietnam era for the first time — at least […]

U.S. security officials recently analyzed a simulated Al Sharpton presidency and grimly concluded its impact would be “somewhere on the scale between a giant tsunami hitting the west coast and being ravaged by marauding Huns along most of Interstate 40.” The test was designed to show the country’s resolve and willpower under “extreme duress,” and […]

I just finished Mona Charen’s excellent book, “Useful Idiots — How Liberals Got It Wrong In The Cold War And Still Blame America First” and I thought I’d share some of the quotes from the book with you. Enjoy! (Cont)

— Vladimir Putin has been slowly but surely been using the power of the state to crush his political opponents and pushing Russia back towards a more authoritarian form of government. How far does he intend to go with this? I’m not sure, but these comments from Putin aren’t going to ease anyone’s concerns… “The […]

As I’m sure most of you have already heard, there are now claims that John Kerry has been alleged to have engaged in infidelity and to have spirited his “Monica” out of the country to keep her away from the press. There are already left-wingers claiming that Karl Rove is behind the Kerry adultery story […]

I’m sure that most of you have heard about this story, “Boos nearly drowned out “The Star-Spangled Banner” and dozens of Mexicans chanted “Osama! Osama!” as Mexico eliminated the United States in Olympic men’s soccer qualifying Tuesday night in Guadalajara. “A loud anti-American crowd hollered as Mexico beat the United States 4-0 Tuesday night in […]

Vietnam veteran John F. Kerry will soundly defeat National Guardsman George W. Bush in the 1972 presidential election, according to a new poll commissioned by the Kerry campaign. “This election is not about the future, or my legislative record,” said Mr. Kerry, “It’s about what George W. Bush and I did more than three decades […]

I just wanted to let you know about a few updates to RWN that I’ve made recently. First off, my long neglected links has finally been updated. Why don’t you take a look at a few of the blogs on the list? Most of them have been around for quite a while and you may […]

Hey, hey, hey, the latest “National Enquirer” has a story on John Kerry and since I used them as a source when I talked about Rush Limbaugh’s drug problems, I don’t think it’s unfair to report their salacious gossip about Senator flip-flop. Most of what the Enquirer came up with wasn’t new to me, but […]

As I was perusing Citizen Smash’s fine blog, I ran across a post entitled “Let’s Talk About Real Issues”. In that post, Smash takes note of all the charges and countercharges flying back and forth about what Kerry did after Vietnam and Bush’s service in the National Guard and writes, “CAN WE GET BACK to […]

“Simply Awesome!” That’s how scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory describe the adrenaline rush from the renewed success of their Mars ‘Spirit’ rover this past week. The Mars probe mission has performed flawlessly since recovery with Mission Controllers releasing dozens of color photos in the past 48 hours. But not everyone was enthusiastic. “It’s just […]

It has been a while since I checked in to see what the detestable scumballs in White Supremacist movement were up to, so I stopped in at the Vanguard News Network forums. A lot of the threads were the “same old same old”. You know… — Trying to figure out if women they’re attracted to […]

If you want to see an example of the sort of bureacracy and incompetence that that brings to mind that great P.J. O’Rourke quote… “The mystery of government is not how Washington works but how to make it stop” …then you need look no further than this story from Maine, “Crossing the U.S.-Canada border to […]

Current polls actually have Bush behind Kerry in a national match-up. Then again, Mondale led Reagan in the polls early on, so that doesn’t mean too much. Still, it would be great if Bush started to raise his popularity, and I have some suggestions how. TOP TEN WAYS BUSH CAN RAISE HIS POPULARITY 10. Use […]

I’ve been a big Star Trek fan since I was a little kid….well, let me rephrase that; I’ve watched and enjoyed the different Star Trek series since I was a little kid. The really big fans are walking in their houses with vulcan ears right now and fantasizing about scoring with 7 of 9. That’s […]

The Libertarian party is a party of principle. This fact is an enormous comfort to the party each election year when its candidates lose every major race. Being free from the burden of mattering, we can all be proud of the purity of our untested principles. OK, it is a little harsh to say that […]

You’d never know it from watching the news, but apparently things aren’t going so well for Al-Qaeda in Iraq. It seems that Al-Qaeda’s head man over there, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, is actually getting a bit frantic because things aren’t going so well… “American officials here have obtained a detailed proposal that they conclude was written […]

Democrat presidential frontrunner Sen. John F. Kerry today ignored reports that he is ‘aloof‘ and dismissed charges that he is ‘patrician’ or ‘aristocratic’, calling the the latter “lies promulgated by provincial proletarians — the ignorant hoi polloi.” As reporters pressed Mr. Kerry about his alleged aloofness, the junior senator from Massachusetts casually waved his hand, […]

I’ve been traversing the blogosphere so I could see what bloggers thought about Bush’s performance on “Meet the Press” and the reviews have been all over the map. I think that may be because it was almost like there were two interviews. At the start of the show when Russert was grilling Bush about the […]

I find it quite interesting that John Kerry has made Vietnam the centerpiece of his campaign. Not only because being a decorated Vietnam Vet doesn’t automatically make you a foreign policy genius, but because war records haven’t really meant very much over the last few elections (Think George H.W. Bush vs. Clinton, Bob Dole vs. […]

I have seen a lot of BS artists come and go, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one who compares to guy named Jim F. Kukral. Here’s a guy with a weblog ranked 439,979th on Alexa, writing an e-book called “Blogs To Riches” and charging $47 a pop for it, when NOBODY is getting […]

John Kerry’s presidential campaign staff today “shifted into neutral for the swift downhill glide to the nomination” after receiving word that its candidate would receive the coveted Dick Gephardt endorsement. “We’re pulling all of our ads and cancelling dozens of campaign appearances,” said Mr. Kerry’s campaign manager, Mary Beth Cahill. “Why blow all that money […]

If you do a search for George W. Bush quotes, you’ll run across pages and pages of dumb “Bushisms,” most of which were uttered back when W. was running against Al Gore. However, Bush has churned out a lot of very notable quotations in his Presidency and I thought somebody should take the time to […]

CIA Director George Tenet gave a speech at Georgetown today that made it absolutely clear that the CIA believed Iraq had WMD before the war & that the Bush administration didn’t push them to spin the evidence. But of course, much of the liberal mainstream media is obsessively focusing on this quote from Tenet, (Analysts) […]

Democrat National Committee (DNC) chairman Terry McAuliffe today said that presidential candidates John F. Kerry and John Edwards have gone AWOL from the Senate, missing almost every Senate vote in the past three months, and perhaps longer. “These men signed up to serve their country, yet they failed to show up for duty,” said Mr. […]

Oh my god what a fool I was. Yes, I realized this just lately, although I had my doubts but I was blinded by some facts and now thanks to some good friends of the Iraqi people, I’ve opened my eyes to see the naked truth. For the 1st time I realize what a big […]

The whole “Bush was AWOL” meme that the media and the Democrats are pushing right now is the biggest sack of nothing since they tried to tie Bush to Enron. It’s a tempest a teapot that had no real impact in 2000 and that no one is going to care about in November of 2004. […]

Hey Bob, why are you wearing that long sleeve shirt? It’s 90 degrees out….. Most. Unfortunate. Tatoo. Ever. Hat tip to Neil Boortz for posting this pic.
