Question: Could you explain to me why conservatives who believe abortion is murder make an exception for rape? I recognize the trauma of raising a baby that was produced through rape but that doesn’t justify murdering a child. Thank you.” — McCain-Obama08 Answer: I don’t want to speak for all conservatives on rape and abortion, […]

Question: “What do you think about the contention being thrown around by the left that Obama’s lead in the polls is understated because the polls use turnout assumptions that understate black and young-voter turnout this time. Conservatives are used to left-leaning bias in political polls. Usually a 3% to 4% “lead” for the Dem translates […]

Question: “I have noticed that, over the past year, there seems to have been a precipitous drop in the number of comments posted at RWN. What is the reason for that? Is it due to more aggressive comment moderating? Is it due to restricted RWN user account registration? Is it because of the existence of […]

“I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions.” — Barack Obama Liberals are almost always insufferably arrogant. It sort of goes with the territory. After all, if you believe that we have to throw religious customs, hundreds of years’ worth of societal traditions, and the parts of the […]

Here’s an email I received today. It was one line and summed up the Left quite nicely, so I thought I’d share: “It’s hillarious how terrified all you right wingnuts are of an intelligent, black man!” Yes, well, it’s hilarious how liberals can’t find their spell-checker, but I digress. Here is my response to this […]

In one of the most gruesome crimes in recent memory, 22-year-old Tim McLean was stabbed to death, apparently at random, aboard a Greyhound bus en route from Edmonton to Winnepeg by Chinese immigrant Vince Weiguang Li, who then presented his severed head to fellow travelers and even ate some of his flesh. This horrific event […]

Enviromoonbats have exactly one thing going for them. Their antihuman ideology is very trendy, which guarantees the support of our shallow media, entertainment, and political establishments. Fortunately, fashion is a flower that doesn’t bloom for very long. Alice Thompson reports that being green isn’t cool anymore: Julie Burchill can’t stand them. According to her new […]

Bizarrely, the McCain campaign is encouraging people to spam the comment sections of blogs with John McCain talking points in return for “McCain Online Action Center” points. What a great idea, right? I mean, everybody loves spammers on the net! Oh, wait…no, they don’t. Also, what exactly is accomplished by posting off topic talking points […]

Turns out, everyone is fat, myself included, or nearly everyone is fat, and will for sure be fat in forty years. Women and minorities are hardest hit. A scientist says so, and I believe scientists implicitly because scientists use the scientific method therefore making them scientific: The new projections, published in the journal Obesity, are […]

One of things that liberals often say, but don’t believe (There’s a lot of that going on with the left) is that we need to get out of Iraq so we can focus all of our attention on Afghanistan. However, once you understand liberals, you come to realize that they believe in talking with America’s […]

Back on July 30th, I wrote, ……..Which brings us to the Democratic National Convention next month. Certainly John Edwards would have been expected to speak prior to the Rielle Hunter affair breaking publicly and with Edwards denying it, the MSM covering it up, and the lefty bloggers defending him, you’ve got to wonder if he’ll […]

I have to give Doubleplusundead some credit because he found a silly piece in USA Today that could have been, I kid you not, published “as is” in the the Onion as a parody piece. It’s called, “The Final Word: The key to saving money? Just don’t spend it” and it begins like so, With […]

As you may already know, the House Republicans are raising hell on the floor of the House and demanding that Congress take action to drive down gas prices, while Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are taking a month off on vacation.

You would think liberals would get bored looking for coded racism. Since they can find it absolutely anywhere, it must be like shooting fish in a barrel. But then, so is making fun of moonbats like Timothy Noah, who declares that it’s racist to notice how scrawny Obama is. Noah denounces a WSJ piece proposing […]

Random House killed the publication of a book about Mohammad’s wives: Random House feared the book would become a new “Satanic Verses,” the Salman Rushdie novel of 1988 that led to death threats, riots and the murder of the book’s Japanese translator, among other horrors. In an interview about Ms. Jones’s novel, Thomas Perry, deputy […]

From now through the election, I’m going to be taking an opportunity every week to try to give a boost to some of the Republican candidates who deserve it the most. That’ll be through interviews and through fundraising via Slatecard. Today, I’d like to take a moment give you a very brief rundown on the […]

“Democratic candidate Barack Obama criticized Republican John McCain on Tuesday for taking a page out of “the Cheney playbook” on energy, overlooking his own support of oil-friendly policies that the unpopular vice president helped to craft. Vice President Dick Cheney, a former oilman, early in the Bush administration helped draft an energy policy that Obama […]

Over at the Atlantic, faux conservative Andrew Sullivan says a nuclear Iran is fine with him and that the people who are concerned about it are really just doing the bidding of those sneaky Jews! On the Iran question, there can be little doubt that waging a pre-emptive war on the Persian regime is now […]

Thaddeus McCotter is one of my favorite guys in the House and not just because he actually understands the blogosphere and the concerns that regular conservatives have about the GOP in DC. He’s also a scrapper, which is exactly what the Republican Party needs in DC right now. Take a look at the memo he […]

UPDATE: OK, so I demonstrate, once again that it might be a good idea to take a gander over here before I post. Stink! Sorry, people. While the video is the same, the content, is not however. You’ve obviously seen the video if you read John’s post. I’m removing it and putting a link to […]

Since I am a capitalist who generally has no problem with letting liberals waste their money on ads at RWN, I generally approve just about every ad that comes down the pike. However, there have been several exceptions over the years. For example, a few weeks back I declined a t-shirt ad that pictured Barack […]

Imagine hospitals as rife with vermin as Capitol Hill. That will be the situation once Democrats manage to engineer a government takeover of the healthcare industry. Once again, Britain provides a glimpse of a socialist future we would be wise to avoid: The cleanliness of most NHS [National Health Service] hospitals in England is threatened […]
