The Democratic Underground Is Fascinating: I have come to enjoy watching the liberals at the Democratic Underground in their natural environment. I could literally do 3 or 4 ACPOTIs a week just from the stuff I find at the DU. The paranoia and ultra-leftism over there is so thick that it’s almost as if you’ve […]

So What Do The People Of Afghanistan Think About Our Removal Of The Taliban?: The Guardian sent a reporter to Afghanistan to see what the word in the street was about the war. Are the people of Afghanistan happy we liberated them or are they nostalgic for the Taliban? Here’s what they had to say… […]

The Coming Invasion Can’t Be Stopped By The UN: I know there are a lot of people who worry that Bush got snookered at the UN. They’re afraid that we’re now signed up for an unending round of inspections that the Iraqis will thwart at their leisure while the Kofi Annan, the Europeans, and the […]

What Is There For The Inspectors To Negotiate With The Iraqis?: According to the Washington Times, euro-weenie arms inspector Hans Blix is having negotiations with the Iraqis… “International arms inspectors, led by Hans Blix, and Iraqi officials on Tuesday had a second round of talks ahead of the resumption of searches for Iraq’s suspected weapons […]

War Is No Time For Idealism: I received an email yesterday titled “Not In My Name” that read in part… “…People all over the world want peace. What I’d like to ask you is what is your agenda? I love the USA and all the liberties it provides me. I’d like to see it offered […]

It’s Time For The GOP To Go After The Black Vote: I’ve always thought that we in the GOP have not worked hard enough to pull in the black vote. That rational has always been “why spend all kinds of time and money trying to convince blacks to vote for us when we know that […]

Give Al Gore The Presidency Or He’ll Hold His Breath Until He Turns Blue: The Washington Post gave Al Gore a big, sloppy Monica this week-end in their Sunday magazine. I thought some of the article was interesting so I wanted to offer up a few quotes along with some commentary. The article started like […]

Misc. Things: A few things… — My host has been having problems with their MySQL database for the last couple of days. That’s why comments haven’t been working and why I only have one post so far. Hopefully, the database is up for good and won’t be crashing again later tonight. — I’ve gotten around […]

Gore’s Theme for 2004 — ‘You People Are Idiots’: Scott Ott makes a brilliant point with this piece of satire. Gore just said in Time that “the president’s economic agenda is “catastrophic,” his foreign policy “horrible,” his environmental stance “immoral.” Yet, Bush has a 68% approval rating and the American people just handed Bush’s party […]

Saddam Should Have Thought Twice: Saddam may have just made the biggest mistake of his life… Here is the relevant text of the latest UN resolution… “8.

The Left Just Doesn’t Get It When It Comes To Terrorists: Dever from “The Society Of Preservation Of Clue” said something so spot-on in one of the RWN comments sections that I thought I should post it for everyone’s amusement… “… And yet they don’t get it. All of these folks who think we need […]

Where I Stand: Rather than write an editorial this week, I decided to state my position on a lot of the major issues of the day along with a brief explanation so people can see where at least one Conservative stands on the issues. (Cont)

The Democratic Underground Post Of The Day: This quote about the war on terrorism from the Democratic Underground by someone called ElementaryPenguin, was so mind-bogglingly idiotic, I felt the need to give it a post of its own. This just blew me away… ElementaryPenguin: “You don’t get it, do ya, dukota?? The only real war […]

A Ridiculous Anti-Gun Decision: A Florida jury has awarded a widow of a teacher 1.2 million dollars from a gun distributor after her husband was shot and killed by a teenager. What’s the rational behind this ridiculous decision? Well according to the jury, the gun company distributed a gun that was “unsafe, defective and lacked […]

Don’t Mess With Veterans And Keep Your Political Correctness To Yourself: On Monday, I wrote about how, “the city of San Pedro and Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn (were) blocking the showing of the film “Tora, Tora, Tora” on Pearl Harbor Day because it “would have been insensitive to the Japanese-American community.” Hahn in […]

U.N. Protects Sea Horses, Ignores Sea Monkeys: (2002-11-14) — The United Nations voted this week to protect Sea Horses, and several other species, but again ignored the plight of the Sea Monkey. “We’re not asking for much,” said an unnamed Sea Monkey, whose cranial stalks give the appearance of a crown. “We just want some […]

The Best Quotes From Niccolo Machiavelli’s ‘The Prince’: In 1513, Niccolo Machiavelli wrote a book on statecraft and the wielding of power called ‘The Prince.’ This almost 500 year old book which has just over 100 pages, has as much relevant information about foreign policy in it as you’ll find on the shelves of your […]

Politics Shouldn’t Be A Lifetime Job: In America, becoming a Senator or congressman has become nothing more than just another job. That’s because once someone gets into office, it’s extraordinarily difficult to get rid of them. How bad is it? David Garrow cites a few statistics from the last election… “In New Jersey, only one […]

Fark’s Questions To Hillary: RWN reader Ibby Choudhry pointed me a hilarious post on Fark that reads as follows… “Hillary Clinton is coming to Farker Panripster’s school. Help him think of questions to ask her.” Here are some of my favorite replies before the quality of the thread dropped down to nothing…. Doctechnical: “Will you […]

Saddam Says “Yes”: There was some hope that Saddam would reject the UN resolution since the Iraqi ‘Parliament’ unanimously voted it down. But, apparently Saddam ordered them to reject the resolution and then accepted it because he thought it would give the impression that he was willing to cooperate with UN over the objections of […]

Detention Camp Waver: As all readers of Right Wing News know, there are definitely perks to being a member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Here is another one…a detention camp waver created by RWN reader James Corbett… If you’re being rounded up like a common member of the Democratic Underground and taken to one […]

Its Just A Book!: This sort of thing just annoys me to no end… “The ministry of The Jesus Party will host an Anti-Harry Potter Conference in the theatre room at the Ramada Inn at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14. The Rev. Douglas Taylor, the ministry’s director, extended an open invitation to concerned parents, school […]

Memo To All Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Members: To: All members of the VRWC From: VRWC VP Tom Delay Concerning: Celebration Time! It’s been a great week to be a member of the VRWC! We won the elections, killed Saddam Hussein and replaced him with a cyborg double, and we just signed a deal with […]

Political Correctness Run Amuck: Uh-oh, political correctness is rearing it’s ugly head again. This time we have the city of San Pedro and Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn blocking the showing of the film “Tora, Tora, Tora” on Pearl Harbor Day because it “would have been insensitive to the Japanese-American community.” They’re trying to […]

Helpful Hints For Democrats — How To Win In 2004: After spending almost an entire week listening to the pitiful mewling of Democrats across the web about their losses in the 2002 elections, I’ve decided to help them out. I’m sure a lot of Conservatives will be very angry at me for giving the left […]

Contest Winners: I did a contest for webmasters on Friday. I asked them to guess the last two people I had interviewed. The answers were Victor Davis Hanson and Steven Milloy of Junk Science. Any webmaster who got one of my interviewees right, got a link on the main blog today. The winners were… Kevin […]

Happy Veterans Day: Something about Veterans Day always reminds me of Ronald Reagan. Maybe it’s that a lot of words and concepts I associate with Reagan are also associated in my mind with our military and our veterans. Patriotism, strength, duty, honor, & love of country immediately come to mind when I think of Reagan […]

New Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Membership Cards: After I welcomed Michele from a Small Victory to the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, she came up with the idea of creating a VRWC membership card. You can see what some of them look like here. Well today, one of our readers named James Corbett offered up a […]

The Latest Line From The Democrats: In Paul Krugman’s Friday editorial he touches on a theme that I’ve heard repeatedly from Democrats since the election… “It’s not just Sept. 11. As Jonathan Chait points out in The New Republic, the Republicans also have a huge structural advantage. They can spend far more money getting their […]
