“If you can’t sell the country on the need (to drill ANWR) when you’re at war with a bunch of Islamofascists from the Middle East, when can you? Wouldn’t it be more efficient to fly to Alaska and do a walkabout with all the locals who are itching for the drilling to start? And, while […]

“The old adage about giving a man a fish versus teaching him to fish has been updated by a reader: Give a man a fish and he will ask for tartar sauce and French fries! Moreover, some politician who wants his vote will declare all these things to be among his “basic rights.” “Considering how […]

“(T)he Islamofascists loathe the rest of the west almost as much as they hate the US, but the difference is that, for the most part, those countries are content to be, as the Canadian columnist David Warren put it, ‘mere spectators in our fates’.” “Instead of an empire, the US belongs to Nato, a defence […]

“As a graduate student at Columbia University’s Russian Institute, my field of study was totalitarianism. I learned that a major characteristic of Soviet and other totalitarian regimes was their frequent rewriting of history.

After a bit of prodding via email from RWN reader Rachael Anderson, I’ve decided to do a 2nd edition of RWN’s fave South Park quotes (version 1 is: here). Do keep in mind that South Park is an obscene & deliberately offensive show. If that sort of thing bugs you, you may want to skip these […]

“(I)’ve gotten a lot of traction out of my seemingly banal observation that it is highly improbable that the United States will ever become a Nazi-like or otherwise totalitarian nation.

ality will earn us the parlor disdain of the French and Germans. The terrorists are assured that the Western press is obsessed with Abu Ghraib, but not at all with Saddam’s necropolis or their own slaughter of innocents. They suspect that those who endured Omaha and Utah or scaled Suribachi are long sleeping in their […]

“According to Professor R.J. Rummel’s research in ‘Death by Government,’ from 1917 until its collapse, the Soviet Union murdered or caused the death of 61 million people, mostly its own citizens.

“Is (John Kerry) running to reseed the blasted heath we call America? But he’s already had decades in the Senate without much to show for his effort. Good for him! Run on that record! It would be a refreshing campaign ad: “For years I have steadfastly avoided using my power to screw things up, preferring […]

“If you can somehow force a liberal into a point-counterpoint argument, his retorts will bear no relation to what you’ve said — unless you were in fact talking about your looks, your age, your weight, your personal obsessions, or whether you are a fascist. In the famous liberal two-step, they leap from one idiotic point […]

“(John) Kerry reminds me of a story I once read about the San Francisco Giants’ slugger Barry Bonds. Mired in a batting slump, Bonds sat in the locker room and complained about his uncharacteristic struggle to get his offense going. I can’t put my finger on the problem, said Barry aloud. I’m struggling. Can’t buy […]

Since we haven’t found WMD in Iraq, a lot of the anti-war/anti-Bush crowd is saying that the Bush administration lied about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction. Well, if they’re going to claim that the Bush administration lied, then there sure are a lot of other people, including quite a few prominent Democrats, who have told […]

“How about that for the next Kerry-Edwards bumper sticker? “Three-quarters of us don’t trust him on terror, but only 60 percent of us think he’d be incompetent in any international crisis.” “Interestingly, the elite (and increasingly unwatched) media always make “mistakes” in the same direction. They never move too quickly to report a story unfavorable […]

(These quotes are from Ann Coulter’s new book,: Godless: The Church of Liberalism,: which incidentally, was a fantastic read. Enjoy) “Liberals use the word science exactly as they use the word constitutional.
