Jonah Goldberg Explains The Problem With Foreign Policy On The Left: I was getting ready to close up shop for the week-end and settle down to do a bit of reading and html work on the page for a couple of days when I ran across another exceptional column by Jonah Goldberg. Jonah explains and […]

The Democratic Underground Thread Of The Day: The Democratic is an immese well of idiocy that is practically impossible to mine. In fact, if the idiocy of the DU were oil, we’d have a supply that could last us for 150 years. Here’s the latest example — The DU thread of the day! The title […]

How Will We Ever Replace Those Trees?: You may have already heard of the survey from Conservation International which reveals that “untouched wilderness areas (on the planet) are 46 percent intact.” So we’re not running out a real estate on earth. We have plenty of room to grow despite the shrill cries from the environmentalists […]

Third Parties Raise Unrealistic Expectations in Wake of Democratic Defeat: I don’t know why I haven’t punched up something on the third parties yet, but Dan Killian does a good job of it in this piece of satire.

Some Americans Root For Our Soldiers To Die?: So I’m reading Rachael Lucas’s excellent blog and I run across a link to a left-wing blog that has a particularly offensive post on it. The blog is called the The One True B!x. This guy is some lefty from Oregon and he makes it pretty clear […]

America’s Popularity Drops — So What?: According to the much heralded “Pew Global Attitudes survey“, America is not as popular as it used to be. The main thrust of the press coverage of this survey has been centered around the negative. Mainly the fact that the “favorability ratings for the U.S. have fallen in 19 […]

Saddam’s Neck In The Noose: We’re three days away from the 8th, the date Saddam has to declare all of his weapons of mass destruction and it’s looking like the El Presidente isn’t going to come clean. That’s not a big surprise — I predicted as much back on November 19th… “So since Bush isn’t […]

Ice Storm 2002: As some of you probably already know, Charlotte NC has been pummeled with a mixture of ice and rain since yesterday afternoon. It was an odd storm to say the least. Although it wasn’t all that cold and the roads never seemed get all that bad (at least while I was out […]

The Best Quotes From South Park: Back in October, Stephen Stanton wrote a piece for Tech Central Station called, “South Park Republicans.” That article got a lot of attention — including some from me. I’ve been a “South Park Republican” for a long time and I’m big fan of the show. So in honor of […]

Get Off Of Hootie’s Back: I’m so sick of this lame non-controversy over whether Augusta National Golf Club should admit a female member. So what if Martha Burk and the rest of the feminist nags in NOW think Augusta should admit a female member? Does anyone other than the media care what NOW thinks about […]

Blame America?…Godd@mn Right…!: There is nothing that frosts a liberal more than questioning his Patriotism or accusing him of “unamerican.” However, whenever you see someone verbally attacking America in general or patriotic people in particular, it’s almost a given that they’ll be left-wingers and that they’ll be backed up by other lefties. While the majority […]

South Park Quotes Needed: I figured I’d get into the spirit of the whole “South Park Republicans” thing by punching up some of my favorite quotes from the show. That’s going to be coming out tomorrow. If you have any quotes from the show you’d like to see included, feel free to post them here.

Evaluating The Democratic Candidates For President In 2004: I punched a breakdown of the possible contenders on the Democratic side for the biggest prize in politics. I covered the top dogs, the dark horses, and even the ultra-long shots. Here’s the breakdown…. Hillary Clinton: Honestly, I think Hillary could win the Democratic nomination if she […]

Smaller Government Is Better Government: I received the following email yesterday… “In your definition of “right wing” and “conservative” in the FAQ (What Do You Mean By ‘Right Wing’?), you state that folks of this bent are generally for “smaller government”. How does a “right winger” square that desire (which seems sensible enough because it […]

Pure Farkage: About 3 AM last night Fark linked RWN’s The 3rd Annual 20 Worst People, Places, And Things On The Internet For 2002 article. Now, almost 10 hours later, RWN has passed the 15k daily unique mark and there are still, at least for the moment, 3000 plus pairs of eyeballs looking at the […]

9/11 Was Just What ZOG Ordered: I was looking around for another website I could use for the latest episode of ACPOTI (anyone can post on the internet) and I ran across the World Church Of The Creator web page. Apparently, they’re some sort of weird racist church cult. I suppose I could have taken […]

Keep Your Hands Off The SUVS: There’s something about SUVs that brings out the left’s totalitarian streak. Just read this pretentious liberal’s snide little rant about how much he hates the idea of people being able to drive whatever type of car they want… “A reader was kind enough to send me a bumper sticker […]

God Save The Queen? God Save The British Homeowners Who Aren’t Allowed To Protect Themselves: In Britain, the anti-gun, anti-victims rights loonies have gained such an upper hand that people can’t even defend their own homes. Listen to these three stories — they’ll make you angry… “A retired man I know who lives in a […]

Federal Government Assures Remaining Population Will Be Obese By End Of Decade: Here’s a totally unrelated story about why I hate Ronald Mcdonald. When I was seven years old, I broke my leg playing football. I was laid up in traction for six weeks. As you can imagine, I was totally and utterly miserable. So […]

The 3rd Annual 20 Worst People, Places, And Things On The Internet For 2002: This isn’t a politically oriented article but it is a tradition from my days of doing Brass Knuckles Webzine. Brace yourself for the 3rd annual version of the list no one wants to make.

Best Of RWN: I’m going to be out of town on vacation from 11/23/02 until 11/30/02. That means the next RWN update will be on Monday, December 2nd. In the interim, I have provided some links to other blogs worth checking out in the daily news section. Of course, you can always check out the […]

Razor Blade Campaign Aims to Cut Suicide Bombings: A grassroots campaign has been launched to solve the Palestinian suicide bomber epidemic in Israel, just in time for the holidays. The effort, called ‘Razor Blades for Jenin’, is an attempt to collect thousands of ordinary razor blades which will be shipped to the Jenin refugee camp […]

The Democratic Underground Post Of The Day: I was reading a thread on the DU that started out with a Harry Belafonte style “your skin color determines which way you have to vote” rant and I ran across this post… Clete: I’ve got to admit I was flabbergasted today. I took a box of stuff […]

Gun Control Doesn’t Work: RWN reader Harley W. Daugherty sent me a link to a page called Handgun Free America. And yes, as their name suggests, their goal is to ban all handguns in America. Well let’s take a look at places in America where handguns have for all intents and purposes have been banned […]

The Real Root Cause Of Terrorism: People don’t support terrorism because of poverty, hopelessness, lack of education, or the other supposed “root causes” that anti-war activists love to cite. To the contrary, people support terrorism because they believe it will help them achieve their goals. If you want proof of that, look to the “disputed […]

U.S. Intercepts Iraqi Order For One Million White Flags: There are now more signs of Saddam’s preparations for war. The New York Times today announced that not only had Iraq ordered 1 million doses of a nerve gas antidote, but high ranking officials of Saddam’s army have begun placing large orders for white flags. “We […]

Daschle Tries To Demonize Talk Radio: Since at least 1995, the Democrats have been bitter about the fact that Conservatives have been able to build huge talk-radio audiences while liberal hosts haven’t been able to draw flies with a pile of manure on AM radio. This frustrates left-wingers to no end and every so often […]

Ridge — New Department Is ‘Not What You Think’: (2002-11-19) — Tom Ridge, soon to be Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, said the new mega-agency is “not what you think.” “I know a lot of folks think that we’re going to be spying on Americans,” said Mr. Ridge. “I know that because of […]
