Iowa State University Uses ‘Non-Partisan’ Programs for Hyper Partisan Union Support

Posted on March 4, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Now, to you and me the word “non-partisan” would mean that no political position should be advocated. Sadly, to the left-wingers that run Iowa State University, “non-partisan” seems to mean just another opportunity for pushing a hyper partisan, left-wing, union-supporting message on students because the union thugs at ISU are now using the Student Ambassadors […]

Left-Wing Group Takes Down Conservative Website — Petty Little Children Affecting Nothing

Posted on March 1, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The left-wing Internet-based group calling itself “Anonymous” briefly took down the website of the conservative activist group Americans For Prosperity on Sunday, Feb. 27.

Posted on February 28, 2011February 28, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

This is about newly elected Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger, but the points pertain to the whole situation in Congress, so I thought it might be of interest and that I’d post it to RWN anyway.

Posted on February 25, 2011February 25, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Proving that there seems to have been a good reason that in many eras of American history the “Irish Need Not Apply,” a bunch of drunken morons calling themselves the Dropkick Murphys have added their off key voices to American union thuggery by writing a protest song that the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has […]

Defunding Obama’s Union Led Regulatory Army

Posted on February 23, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

You might recall that with great fanfare and the slobberingly positive coverage by the Old Media, President Obama made Reagan-like and claimed that he thought it was time to get rid of the regulations strangling American business.

Wisc. and Ind. Democrats: Union Cash Driving Democrats to Run and Hide

Posted on February 23, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

With Democrat state legislators in Wisconsin and now Indiana fleeing their states so that they don’t have to do their job — just call them fleebaggers — it would be easy to assume that Democrats are cowards.
