There’s supposed to be another bailout vote today in the House. If it goes through, there are a few things I want you to remember…. #1) “Everybody” didn’t agree that we needed to do a bailout at all. #2) “Everybody” didn’t say, “We have to do something,” immediately. #3) “Everybody” didn’t agree that the plan […]

“The charge is often made against the intelligentsia and other members of the anointed that their theories and the policies based on them lack common sense. But the very commonness of common sense makes it unlikely to have any appeal to the anointed. How can they be wiser and nobler than everyone else while agreeing […]

Who won the debate? Joe Biden Sarah Palin I didn’t watch the debate, but I am voting anyway like a dork.    Free polls from Pollhost.com

First off, I can’t complain too much about the fairness of Gwenn Ifill’s questions, but it is worth noting that she asked a couple of really wacky questions. Ifill asked a really foggy question about what would happen if someone got nuked. That one went to Palin first. She also asked another weird question about […]

Why is this VP debate so important? Most years no one cares. Everyone seems to care tonight. 8:00 CST Why is this VP debate so important? Most years no one cares. Everyone seems to care tonight. Sarah Palin asks Biden if she can call him Joe. He says sure. She’s dressed in black and reached […]

There have been some complaints that the McCain campaign has been hiding Sarah Palin away and over prepping her, when they should be just turning her loose. Hence the debate over whether they need to “Free Sarah.” The McCain campaign’s rollout could have been better. They should have sent her out to do a lot […]

Only a vast brainwashing apparatus explains how the Left has come this close to installing an extremely dangerous radical in the White House. The most obvious component is the brazenly partisan mainstream media, but in the long view, the education establishment has been doing just as much damage to the national consciousness. An example of […]

As I write, the DJIA is down about 300 points. This is being spun as based on uncertainty that the House will pass the Senate bill. Yesterday, stocks rose, spun as being based on the likelihood that Congress would indeed pass a bailout bill. Which is it, guys? Meanwhile, over in Europe, the European Central […]

Since the inspiring Village of the Obamatrons video has been removed from YouTube, those who are curious to see President and Chief Executive Officer of NBC Universal Jeff Zucker’s personal project can either see it here, or check out the alternate Pyongyang version: Via reason.tv, on a tip from V the K.

All eyes are on my hometown, St. Louis, Mo., today because of the vice-presidential debate tonight.  (For those of you in St. Louis for the event, head to Favazza’s restaurant if you’re looking for a great place to eat. Ask for Mark Favazza, my brother, and tell him you read about the place in a blog post […]

“Through the Mercy of Fools all Justice is lost.” -Nachmanides on Deut. 7:16 Dan Friedman sent that to me and it landed in my inbox along with the best article that R.S. McCain has written (yet). It’s about the immorality of the American taxation system. You’ll want to read the whole thing: Whereas transactions in […]

“When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing — they believe in anything.” — G.K. Chesterton “Liberals hate religion because politics is a religion substitute for liberals and they can’t stand the competition.” — Ann Coulter Conservatives have mocked the cult like atmosphere around the Obama Messiah, but how do you even […]

I’m not sure whether it will be Melissa Clouthier, Katie Favazza, me, or some combination thereof liveblogging the debate, but somebody will be livebloging it tonight. So, when you turn on Sarah and Joe, head on over to RWN and join us while we follow the debate.

Former Democratic Congresswoman and Green Party presidential candidate, Cynthia McKinney, is in the news again because she claimed that the government murdered 5000 people during Katrina, dumped their bodies in a swamp, and then covered it up. “”In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, I had a woman, I’ve never really said this in public, out […]

I like Fox News and think they do a much better job than their competitors, but Republicans in D.C. should realize by now that the views of analysts on Fox News are much more representative of Beltway Republicans than they are of the views of conservatives across the country. Put another way, if you’re hoping […]

The first poll I did on the bailout was put out prior to the bill failing in the House and the stock market doing its best trampoline impression as a result. So, I decided to do another poll to see if anybody’s mind had changed as a result. The initial poll results had 85% of […]

One of my favorite candidates that we’re supporting through Rightblogs is Tom McLintock. Watch this ad about Charlie Brown and I think you may be inspired to chip in a few bucks.

It’s painfully obvious that someone who’s writing a book called, “The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama,” especially one that is supposed to come out on inauguration day, has no business moderating a Vice-Presidential debate. Moreover, the fact that she didn’t “tell the Commission on Presidential Debates about the book,” tells you […]

I was talking to my buddy Skye from Midnight Blue and she was in a terrible mood because of the bailout and the way the GOP seems to be tanking prior to the election. As I tried to make her feel better, tongue planted firmly in cheek, I said “Hey, want me to put up […]

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill said the $700 billion bank-rescue proposal under negotiation in Washington is “crazy,” with potentially “awful” consequences for the world’s largest economy. “Doesn’t this seem like lunacy to you?” said O’Neill, who was President George W. Bush’s first Treasury chief, from 2001 to 2002, in a telephone interview today. “The […]

The Senate’s version of water-boarding: Gloat to the press about their own wonderfulness and drown the American public in their sanctimony. Ugh, I’m still coughing up sputum. (I’m referring to the Bailout they all seem so proud of right now.) So a poll. What’s worse? Watching The View women blab about Barack Obama’s sexiness or […]

What if Ronald Reagan was wrong? He championed supply-side economics and through his policies created deficit spending. (And yes, I acknowledge the trade-off of bringing down the Soviet Empire was worth it in the near term, but what did that action create in the long-term?) It seems self-evident that tax and spend is wrong. The […]

As part of Examiner.com’s “Best of” series, I wanted to address the best conservative politicians and the facts you need to know about them. I started with a huge list and narrowed it down to 10 people, all currently in office: Rep. Eric Cantor, Sen. Tom Coburn, Sen. Jim DeMint, Gov. Bobby Jindal, Sen. John McCain, Gov. Sarah Palin, Rep. Mike Pence, Rep. […]

Historian Paul Johnson takes a swing at the theory of AGW. He posits that AGW “science” is about as scientific as theories by Karl Marx: The idea that human beings have changed and are changing the basic climate system of the Earth through their industrial activities and burning of fossil fuels–the essence of the Greens’ […]

In light of Democrats’ incredibly audacious attempt to use the massive bailout bill to funnel a fortune into the pockets of ACORN, Mona Charen provides a little background on this hard-left activist group: ACORN is where 1960s leftovers who couldn’t get tenure at universities wound up. […] Because they are on the side of righteousness […]

Today, I had a conversation with an anonymous congressional aide. Part of this person’s job at the moment is to help come up with ways to sell the bailout to conservatives. Here’s a heavily edited snippet from our conversation that’s published with permission… John Hawkins: Heh. You have a brutal job. I feel for you […]

Last week, Kathleen Parker — who is an excellent conservative columnist — wrote one of the most controversial columns of the year. The column, which was rather cutting in places, suggested that Sarah Palin should quit as McCain’s VP, If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself. If Palin were a man, […]
