German Politician Denies Calling George Bush a ‘Whore of Zion’: Dachau, Germany – In a press conference held in the charming Munich suburb of Dachau, German Justice Minister Herta Daeubler-Gmelin [rhymes with watermelon], emphatically denied calling American President George W. Bush a "whore of Zion." "I was completely quoted out of context," said Frau Daeubler-Gmelin […]

Fisking Al Gore: I’m actually happy that Al Gore has now come out so strongly against hitting Iraq. This will help the Republican Party paint the Democrats as Vietnam era peaceniks who aren’t serious about defending America (which is largely true by the way except for Zell Miller and a few other Southern Democrats). But […]

Steve Earle: Idiot Abroad: Country singer Steve Earle is in Britain soaking up the good vibes from the anti-American crowd for his sympathetic song about ‘Jihad’ Johnny Bin Walker Lindh.

I Get Emails…: Ever wondered what the life of a Conservative blogger is like? Yes I know, the excitement, the money, the women…you don’t get any of those things. But you do get emails. Like this one from some guy who was angry about me making fun of white supremacists. Apparently I made the enemies […]

I Told You The Time Magazine Story Was Bogus: A few months ago Time was claiming that there was a “Clinton Plan for a war with Al-Queda” that was given to the Bush administration. I told you that, “the idea that the Clinton administration was ready to go to war against Afghanistan is laughable.” I […]

Iraq To Allow Weapons Inspectors Back Unconditionally, With The Following Conditions…: The truth is that this piece of satire isn’t all that far from the truth…

Week-End Humor: I’m taking the week-end off but before I go, I wanted to give you a little satire to laugh at over the week-end… Scrappleface chimes in on the comparison of Bush to Hitler by Gerhard Schroeder’s justice minister… “Daubler-Gmelin said she was encouraged that her praise of Bush had elicited such a rapid […]

The Usual Questions About Iraq: I’m a big Victor Davis Hanson fan. In fact, I’m right in the middle of his fantastic book ‘Carnage and Culture.’ So when I saw that he’d written a column on something I was planning to address, ‘The usual questions about Iraq’, I thought it was better to link straight […]

How Serious Is America About Border Control?: First of all, we have a newspaper writing a sob story about how an ILLEGAL ALIEN can’t afford tuition at college… “On August 11, the Denver Post ran a front-page story on one Jesus Apodaca, a bright and charming young man – with a 3.93 grade-point average, no […]

Why Should Reading Be Required To Graduate?:The latest editorial at JWR from Joanne Jacobs provides more ammunition for those of us who are for school vouchers… “Des Moines public schools should give diplomas to students who can’t read, argued Jim Patch, a candidate for school board. A shop teacher for 40 years, Patch was endorsed […]

Misc + BKW: Well I finally took Brass Knuckles Webzine off of life support today. BKW is now pointed at RWN. That means anyone who goes to BKW ends up here. For those of you coming over from BKW, nice to see you here. We do have the best of BKW’s humor along with a […]

America’s Green Fifth Column By Tom DeWeese: As America’s military deploys troops, armor, planes and ordinance to bases in the Middle East surrounding Iraq, they will do so after years of fending off another kind of attack, one by the massed forces of environmental organizations that have done everything in their power to reduce and […]

Imperialists By Necessity?: I read a post today by Eric Raymond at Armed and Dangerous and I felt a need to respond. Eric wrote the following… “…There’s a word for the process of conquering a third-world pesthole and imposing your culture on it. It’s called imperialism. In the 19th century, the Western powers built empires […]

Iraqi Forces Move to Civilian Areas: How many times have you heard someone criticize the US for collateral damage? Probably more times that you can count right? But how many times have you heard those same people criticize this type of behavior… “Iraq has moved small numbers of military forces into civilian areas in what […]

Germans Comparing Bush To Hitler?!?!?: This is the straw that broke the camel’s back with me as far as Germany is concerned…. “The regional Schwaebisches Tagblatt newspaper quoted German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s justice minister, Herta Daeubler-Gmelin, as saying “Bush wants to divert attention from his domestic problems. It’s a classic tactic. It’s one that Hitler […]

Say Goodbye To The UN And Hello To The League Of Nations: The Independent is claiming that the UN is going to give Saddam a year to get his act together… “The United Nations is likely to throw into disarray America’s war plans for Iraq by introducing a timetable for weapons inspections that could give […]

Follow-Up To Peace In Our Time: As America and a handful of allies bravely confront a global terrorist network that may soon be capable of murdering millions of people, most of the world seems determined to mimic Neville Chamberlain’s failed policy of appeasement. With that in mind, it’s well worth our time to review Chamberlain’s […]

Even Robert Fisk Knows Saddam Isn’t Serious: President Bush has made it clear that he’s very skeptical of Saddam Hussein’s offer of “unconditional inspections” and guess who agrees with him? None other than Robert Fisk! As I was wading through the sea of blithering idiocy that is the latest Fisk column, I was surprised to […]

The US-UN Divorce? Let’s Hope So: Whigging Out had this to say about the rift Saddam’s lame offer for inspections is starting to cause between the US and the UN, “You read the prediction here first that the unseemly US-UN marriage and honeymoon was kaput as of last night. Now those first fruits of discord […]

We’re Building A Pipeline Where??!?!: This is a dark day for the ‘war for oil’ contingent of the tin-foil hat brigade. You remember them don’t you? They’ve been telling us for almost a year that 9/11 was only a convenient excuse for us to invade Afghanistan. Our real purpose was to get the Taliban out […]

What Your Belief About ‘Motives’ For Attacking Iraq Says About You: Over the course of the last year or so, quite a few people have opined that there must be some sort of sinister motive for prosecuting the ‘war on terrorism’ in general and for hitting Iraq in particular. Lately we’ve heard every assumption in […]

Knocking Chomsky On His @ss?: I received an email from a reader today that in part read… “I was wondering, in all your reading, if you’ve ever come across a definitive refutation of Noam Chomsky. In arguing with dopey but well-meaning friends, he comes up as a source again and again and again, and I […]

But I Thought Iraq’s Offer Had No Strings Attached?: We’re one day in from Saddam’s offer to allow weapons inspectors back into Iraq (which in and of itself was hopelessly inadequate to forestall an attack) and already we’re seeing that the offer was bogus. From today’s Evening Standard… “Iraq made a surprise offer late last […]

We Need The Final Fight Now!!!: Have you ever wondered what skinheads and Klansman talk about when they don’t think anyone else is listening? Well you won’t have to wonder anymore after reading the most hate-filled, vile, racist spew that’s ever had the dishonor of being featured on ‘Anyone Can Post On The Internet’. Trust […]

The USA Does Not Exist!: I was taking a little tour of the Utopia Politics Forums looking for A.C.P.O.T.I. material and I ran across some yabbo blathering on about how we never went to the moon… NoldoR BS: Honestly guys, do you really think that man has walked the moon? I don’t. When US placed […]

Iraq Is Allowing Inspections? Doesn’t Change A Thing: Before anyone gets too excited about Iraq allowing weapons inspectors back in, remember my post from the 12th. Bush had five conditions that Iraq had to agree to in order to avoid an invasion and simply allowing inspectors back in doesn’t even meet the first of Bush’s […]

Bush Launches Operation ‘Shut-Your-Piehole’ Against European Leaders: ‘Bob From Accounting’ does more funny stuff… “Following a flurry of international criticism regarding a preemptive strike against Iraq, George Bush surprised pundits Tuesday with the announcement he was immediately launching “Operation Shut Your Piehole” against nearly a dozen whiny world leaders and United Nations officials. …According to […]

BKW Has Been Assimilated: As the regular readers of RWN already know, I have decided to kill Brass Knuckles Webzine. However, rather than letting all that material go to waste, I’ve moved a lot of the material from BKW over to RWN. You will now see that RWN has 4 different humor sections and they’re […]

Quotes From Today’s Civil Rights Movement: Since the 1960’s the Civil Rights Movement has grown into a loathsome parody of itself. A movement that was once defined by Martin Luther King’s fight against intolerance and unjust laws is today known for shakedowns of major corporations, never ending claims to victimhood, the Reparations Movement, institutionalizing discrimination […]
