One of the things I do over on my site every Sunday is post a patriotic pinup, the painted types. This one is a few years old, added in the flag background. Never been able to figure out who the artist is, though Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for […]

In light of renewed interest in the Orwellian “Fairness Doctrine” — aka the “Hush Rush bill” — Obama’s latest blatherings are particularly ominous: A certain segment has basically been feeding a kind of xenophobia. There’s a reason why hate crimes against Hispanic people doubled last year. If you have people like Lou Dobbs and Rush […]

This video is great in that it shows that two people who disagree do not have to be hateful to each other or make personal attacks to prove their point. Washington could take some tips from Ellen. John McCain appeared on Ellen DeGeneres’ show, where she asked him about gay marriage. Kudos to John for […]

After this, I cannot WAIT until McCain gets to actually debate Obama in front of a live audience. Obama’s gonna get schooled, son! First, Obama tried to make McCain look like he didn’t care about veterans. Bad move number one. Here’s Obama’s statement: “I respect Sen. John McCain’s service to our country,” Obama said on […]

Well, I guess we all gotta read the thing, but… Unlike all the big shots quoted in the article, I’m as far from the Beltway as you can get. No wonder my analysis differs so much from their’s. Here’s the real problem with Establishment/Movement Conservatism: It refuses to address the very issues that working class […]

I’ve been pondering some of the posts at RWN this week and thinking about what conservatives have to be optimistic about. Despite the fact that this year’s presidential election features a far-left Democrat against a RINO, there are still plenty of reasons for hope. One of them is that, despite concerted and extreme Democratic Party […]

I thought it might be fun to laugh after this day of McCain misery.

My Why I Will No Longer Support John McCain For President has drawn a lot of comments and a lot of links. With that in mind, I wanted to follow-up on a few things. First of all, I have spoken to a representative of the McCain campaign this afternoon and the spin was similar to […]

Dr. Helen notes that the kvetching by Republicans just might create what we fear most: Believing that your party is a bunch of losers surely will not help it to improve it and may, in fact, hasten it’s self-destruction–something some Democrats would be happy to see–but why play along while marching in step to the […]

You are not seriously sitting out the election or voting for a Democrat are you? John Hawkins, as you’ve read here is done. Ace is flipping his lid too: Or perhaps it’s simpler: John McCain is unfailingly honorable; if he acts in a way that seems to be dishonorable, you must be perceiving it incorrectly, […]

Yesterday, I read John Hawkin’s interview with the anonymous campaign staffer. The more I read, the madder I got. At the end, through IM poor John got sprayed with my vented spleen. If that sounds horrible, it was. He said,”Wow, you’re in a bad mood.” Actually, no I’m not. I’m in a great mood. I’m […]

I’ve never been a fan of John McCain. Not only is he not a conservative, he may have done more damage to the conservative movement than any other Republican over the last few years. Look back at the Gang-of-14, global warming, McCain-Feingold, coddling terrorists at Gitmo, illegal immigration — on and on and on, and […]

Figuring out who John McCain is going to select as a Vice-President this far out is very difficult not just because Johnny Mac really is a maverick who could make an unpredictable choice, but because there are so many different directions he can go in. Will he choose a Vice-President who can help him patch […]

“You cannot emulate any time in American history. You cannot try to premise your actions on Reagan. ‘He did this, so he’d do this.’ It’s the fundamental principles that Reagan brought to the table that are applicable to our globalized generation and the challenges we face.” — House Republican Policy Committee Chairman, Thaddeus McCotter Ronald […]

Yesterday, I polled RWN’s readers on the following question, “Although all of these may be important issues to you, what’s the issue that you currently put the highest priority on?” Here’s how the 827 answers broke down. Improving education: 0% Securing the border with amnesty: 0% Cleaning up the environment: 0% Reducing health care costs: […]

A couple of days ago, I put together a group of 10 Obama bumper stickers and let RWN’s readers vote on their faves. Almost a 1000 of your voted and here were your top three choices. In third place, with 20% of the vote, In second place, with 22% of the vote, Lastly, in first […]

Jeb Hensarling, over at the very conservative Republican Study Committee, outlined an agenda he thinks that the House Republicans should pursue. Here it is, AN ACTION PLAN FOR HOUSE REPUBLICANS: BOLD, SIMPLE, AND DIFFERENT THAN THE DEMOCRATS 1) THE END OF PORK-BARREL SPENDING House Republicans are committed to ending pork-barrel spending. We will not wait […]

A Texas appellate court says that the removal of the kids from their moms is unlawful. I wonder if that means the 15 year old moms married to 50 year old men, too. Holy f*ck what a disgusting mess. There is just something about seeing these moronic Little House on the Prairie women running out […]

Gateway Pundit reports that a 22 year old WHITE man exploded his face a bit when his suicide vest prematurely activated in the loo. Aw…. Let the significance of this sink in. Imagine a society where every person becomes a suspect. Oh wait, we don’t have to. Israel lives with these threats every day. Why […]

Unlike Senator Obama, my admiration, respect and deep gratitude for America’s veterans is something more than a convenient campaign pledge.” — John McCain

If the Right is apathetic, the Left is apoplectic. I’ve been ruminating on the implications for the country whether Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton get the nomination. To me, Hillary Clinton is the harder candidate to beat in the general election. She is perceived as more centrist and has done a pretty good job casting […]

Via my buddy and co-bloger Melissa Clouthier, here’s Megan Mcardle, Are conservatives out of ideas? Liberals got made when this question was asked about them four years ago. But I’ll admit it–in my opinion, the conservatarian coalition is basically out of ammo. A basic commitment to free markets was enough to hold the coalition together […]

Last week, after a teleconference with John McCain, I wrote that I was asking the campaign the following question and would post their answer to RWN, Mr. McCain, let me read something you were quoted as saying a few days ago, “We get in this kind of a circular firing squad on immigration reform in […]

I had an instant messenger conversation with one of the many aides in Congress that I know about the funk conservatives are in. Here’s an edited transcript of our conversation, which I published with permission, that you may find interesting. John Hawkins: The thing to keep in mind is though, in my experience, is that […]
