Let the hand wringing begin Coverage of Koran Case Stirs Questions on Media Role Mr. Jones was able to put himself at the center of those issues by using the news lull of summer and the demands of a 24-hour news cycle to promote his anti-Islam cause. He said he consented to more than 150 […]
Alternate title: Let the FavreWatch Begin! Countdown to kickoff: about ninety minutes. Or so. Brett Favre continues his mission to prevent Peyton Manning from ever overtaking any career NFL records in the New Orleans Superdome, where his Minnesota Viqueens are quite likely to start off the new season on a bad note. Note to the […]
Imam Rauf claims that he has “a responsibility” to build the mosque, otherwise radical Islamists around the world will threaten “national security.” In other words, screw the sensitivity concerns of Americans, you’ll be blown to bits if you don’t back off from my Victory Mosque. See Atlas Shrugs, “Ground Zero Supremacist Imam Rauf Threatens America: […]
It’s rather amusing and ironic that leading into the November midterm elections, the “evil money-grubbing GOP” has far less funds than the “working class” Democrats. I guess when you consider the “working class” is made up of the labor unions that helped to bankrupt this country with their demands for unwarranted wages and pensions; it […]
The moonbats running the media and the federal government are virtually the only people left on the planet who still believe in communism — now that even Fidel Castro has given up on it: Fidel Castro told a visiting American journalist that Cuba’s communist economic model doesn’t work, a rare comment on domestic affairs from […]
Only the severely cognitively challenged could have failed to realize that ObamaCare would drive up the cost of medical insurance. But just to get it on the record: Health insurers say they plan to raise premiums for some Americans as a direct result of the health overhaul in coming weeks, complicating Democrats’ efforts to trumpet […]
I, along with some of RWN’s other regular bloggers, are in DC for Blog Con. Although I do plan to post, it may be a little irregular and blogcentric while I’m here (Th-Sun). Of course, there will also be a big picture dump wrap-up on Monday and RWN’s awesome week-end bloggers will be helping to […]
Way too much coverage has been given to some pastor of a tiny Gainesville church just because he plans to burn the Qur’an on 9/11.: While I have no objection to the content of that coverage, which has consisted of near universal condemnation, it’s not surprising to me at all that protecting Muslim sensibilities seems […]
On a scale of forgetting your pencil at home to forgetting your 50th wedding anniversary, this ranks somewhere around forgetting your lunchbox. But it’s still funny. Last week, a Washington Post columnist started a Twitter hoax. This week, a Washington Post columnist fell for one. Jonathan Capehart, an editorial writer and columnist, took “@RepJackKimble (R-Calif.)” […]
In a move sure to see some controversy, the city council of Hartford, Connecticut has decided to start off its city council meetings with a Muslim prayer. An email from the city says they are doing this as “an act of solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters.” The email from the city invokes the […]
It is the most important hill that folks interested in good government have yet to conquer and that is the elimination of government employee unions. The Heritage Foundation reports the sad and disgusting news that the majority of union members now work for government, an intolerable situation to say the least. The BLS’s annual report […]
Which, of course, the New York Times tries to spin away A new government study says President Obama’s health care law will have negligible effects on total national health spending in the next 10 years, neither slowing nor fueling the explosive growth of medical costs. Yet, time and time again, we were all told that […]
Of all of Christ’s teachings, this one was the most radical, and the most difficult for all Christians. Love your enemies. Wow. That’s a tough one. Sometimes it’s hard to love your relatives, much less those you don’t like. On the anniversary of 9-11, that teaching is especially hard. How are we supposed to love […]
Imam Rauf, who could have avoided all this by simply not putting the “cultural center” right near Ground Zero (btw, does anyone, other than gullible liberals, actually believe that the center will allow “separate prayer space for…..Christians, Jews and men and women of other faiths”? Good luck with that). But, hey, now that this is […]
In “How to Write an Anti-Palin Hit Piece,” I quoted a source who described the cheap-and-easy method by which reporters get those “anonymous sources” to provide them with fodder for their stories. Vanity Fair‘s Michael Gross today lashed out at his critics and claimed, among other things, that Gina Loudon is lying about him. That’s […]
I had to catch myself for a second. Sides with the Obama administration on terrorist rendition? The ruling is on “extraordinary rendition,” of course. The policy for which leftists wanted Bush administration war crimes trials. And now we’ve got Barack Obama in power continuing the policy. Hey, way to “regain America’s moral stature in the […]
Sarah Palin says on her Facebook page: Book burning is antithetical to American ideals. People have a constitutional right to burn a Koran if they want to, but doing so is insensitive and an unnecessary provocation — much like building a mosque at Ground Zero. I would hope that Pastor Terry Jones and his supporters […]
I tweeted Markos Moulitsas yesteday, with the link to my review of his book: “Misunderstanding Markos Moulitsas and American Taliban.” He’s a netroots bigshot, of course, so he’s ignoring me. Fine. I’ll tweet him again a little later. He can “behead this,” as far as I’m concerned. (The reference is to the Ring of Fire […]
Here‘s how Hartford, Connecticut’s City Council will be remembering the Muslim atrocities of September 11 this month: The Council announced Tuesday that it has invited local imams to perform Islamic invocations at the beginning of the Council meetings in September. An e-mail from the Common Council called it “an act of solidarity with our Muslim […]
What does the federal government’s ham-fisted expropriation of the entire student loan industry to help finance ObamaCare mean for students of private colleges? The No. 2 Democrat in the Senate Dick Durbin offers a clue. Pardon his language: [S]tudents at the Illinois Institute of Art — a player in the burgeoning for-profit education industry that […]
When Rupert Murdoch announced that he intended to charge a subscription fee for his papers, some of us predicted that it was going be rough sailing for him. But, I guess some people just have to hit the iceberg to learn. Here’s what I wrote back in May of last year, According to Rupert Murdoch, […]
…race in Delaware. Now, I wasn’t planning to write a third post about this issue, but this gets into one of my pet peeves: Ultimately, You don’t change the country for the better by losing elections. Being conservative is not enough. To put conservative principles into action, we have to get people elected to office. […]
Many of us have been raised to think that words mean things. Then there’s Democrats. From those infamous phrases like “It depends on what the definition of what ‘is’ is” of yore to the newfangled “man-caused disasters” of today, Democrats have so abused the English language as to make it completely unrecognizable to Mr. Johnson. […]
As you may know, GOProud is the only gay conservative organization out there and they’re doing a NYC fund raiser, featuring Ann Coulter, called Homocon. Right Wing News is sponsoring the event. Naturally, this has generated a lot of controversy, so I decided to interview Christopher Barron, the chairman of GOProud, talk about the whole […]
We send our students to college to learn what they need to know to become good American citizens. From this knowledge we hope that they will realize useful, maybe even successful, lives. Perhaps they’ll even gain personal improvement through introspection from it all. At least that’s what we used to think. Apparently, these days we […]
Strange that we always hear that Democrats are for the little guy. If so, they wouldn’t be looking to raise taxes on small business owners, nor enact legislation that drives companies out of business, putting “the little guy” on the unemployment line The last major GE factory making ordinary incandescent light bulbs in the United […]
Back in 2007 Andy Stern, the now former President of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), attended a forum sponsored by the NDN Globalization Initiative and during the question and answer period after his remarks he said that he was “totally involved in distorting the political system.” Here the president of one of America’s most […]
Did Democrats really think there would be no rate hikes due to their monstrous legislation, which most probably didn’t read? Health insurers say they plan to raise premiums for some Americans as a direct result of the health overhaul in coming weeks, complicating Democrats’ efforts to trumpet their signature achievement before the midterm elections. Aetna […]
I often hear my critics say that people should have a Right to something like Housing, Food or Shelter. Declaring something a Right does nothing to provide a good or service for someone. It simply makes people feel morally superior. I would rather have people provided with goods or services, without a right to it. […]
