The government of our country has become increasingly incompetent, corrupt, and dysfunctional. Although Barack Obama has certainly hastened our government’s slide toward mediocrity, the problems didn’t begin with him, nor are they likely to end on the very happy day when he leaves office. Moreover, many of the issues that prevent our government from operating […]
On PBS’ Charlie Rose show, Rahm Emanuel finally admitted what has been rumored in hushed voices throughout the city of Chicago: He wants to run for Mayor. Emanuel told host Rose that if Mayor Daley decides not to run again, he would like to throw his own hat in the ring and run for the […]
I long ago dumped my subscription to Newsweek. But I had my van serviced over the weekend, and the car dealership had a stack of recent volumes of the magazine. I saw this report from Evan Thomas and Eve Conant earlier, while out at Barnes and Noble last week; and then Glenn Beck smacked down […]
When the Obamunist lackeys who run the media attempt to paint Tea Partiers as potentially violent — despite the only violence coming from the left — they are implementing a strategy Dick Morris devised for their moral paragon Bill Clinton in the immediate aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing: Morris told Clinton that “direct accusations” […]
In honor of the 44th President of the United States , Baskin-Robberts Ice Cream has introduced Barocky Road, its new flavor. Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes. The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. The nuts […]
Here is an interesting fact from a recent survey of the Tea Party Rally last Thursday: Fifty-three percent of those surveyed said they would not even consider voting for Palin if she ran for president in 2012; 59 percent said the same thing of Paul. Indeed, no clear leader is emerging to pick up tea […]
Saturday night I was a party with my friends, all of whom happened to be of a different political persuasion than I. One in particular, who works for the Democratic Party, decided to announce that the Tea Party movement is full of racists. Umm, no. With half a glass of wine (thank God that was […]
There is danger in dealing with criminals, as the Obama-bankrolling crony capitalists at Goldman Sachs are finding out the hard way. The firm was at the top of the list of Obama donors, and was soon rewarded with mountains of our money during the “bailout” looting spree. But next on the hit list for nationalization […]
Kerry Picket of the Washington Times found two amusing videos of California Senator Barbara Boxer, one in 2009 and one from this month, that shows the sad state of affairs in which Democrats find themselves politically these days. In 2009, Boxer was warning about those dangerous “well dressed” angry mobs that make up the tea […]
It looks like Mitt Romney is trying to be the GOP front runner for 2012. But he is one of the main influences for Obama’s socialist takeover of America’s healthcare system. Watch this video and remind yourself why we need to eliminate Mitt Romney from any possibility for being the GOP nominee for President in […]
Reading over the Tea Party coverage this weekend, a strange picture emerged. There was just no possible way to get a cohesive image of the movement because many of the press filters were just so distorted. If one were a stranger from another planet, looking at a mash-up of Tea Party news would be like […]
Twenty years ago, “green” meant real environmental issues, such as clean air, water, and land. It meant protecting species, wise land usage, refoliation, stopping deforestation, replacing dirty with clean. Now it means climate alarmism, and it is failing: Training for Green Jobs Is the Easy Part Joliet (Ill.) is discovering what cities across the U.S. […]
A J Strata has done some amazing investigative work regarding the timelines of the Ft. Hood Massacre and now, comes this about the Obama administration’s treatment of gathered data: Today comes more bizarre news on the liberals’ strained ‘legal logic’ as it applies to fighting terrorists . Some months back the FIS Court determined there […]
“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” — Ronald Reagan If the Gipper were alive today, I’m sure he’d at least be pleased to see that a staggering percentage of the American public agrees with the sentiment expressed in that quote: Public confidence […]
I’ve been running RWN for almost 10 years and during that time, I’ve accumulated a lot of funny conservative images on my hard drive. I thought today might be a good day to put some more of them out in a post. Enjoy! Also see, * A Funny Conservative Image Dump From John Hawkins’ Hard […]
If you can, the EPA wants to hear from you President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency is encouraging the public to create video advertisements that explain why federal regulations are “important to everyone.” The contest, which ends May 17, will award $2,500 to the makers of the video that best explains why federal regulations are good […]
* The avg. Dem in Congress has more in common ideologically with Trotsky & Lenin than they do Washington & Jefferson. * Congress: Too stupid to do it right, too corrupt to be honest, & too arrogant to admit their mistakes. * I don’t know who our next President will be, but I want her […]
Charles M. Blow, a regular columnist for the New York Times, has taken the already despicable race narrative on the Tea Parties to another level.: He begins with a bit of “diversity” hunting: I had specifically come to this rally because it was supposed to be especially diverse. And, on the stage at least, it […]
As I wrote at Pajamas Media, President Obama is currently on a Health Care Comedy Tour. He is addressing his myrmidons across this country and utilizing Saul Alinsky’s advice. This isn’t about logic or forming a coherent argument. This is about ridicule, “man’s most potent weapon.” Those are the words of the granddaddy of community […]
“Information wants to be free.” I must have mocked those words dozens of times on my blog. : Or a few. : I might be counting the times I just thought that. Either way, that expression is not an argument. It’s a statement of ideological faith. The pro-copyright right has its own religion on this, too. […]

Apparently, the Times is interested in dropping a few bombshells this weekend. First you have the “Gates Says U.S. Lacks Strategy to Curb Iran’s Nuclear Drive,” which others have covered, and then there is this, which basically says that the provisions of ObamaCare are doomed to failure When her small executive search firm in New […]
Stormbringer: Truly this is the Greatest Country in the World. Don’t Let Freedom Slip Away By Kitty Werthmann : I believe that I am an eyewitness to history. I cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history. We elected him by a landslide – 98% of the vote…I’ve […]
You never wrestle with a pig, because you both get dirty and the pig likes it. It’s good advice that has endured throughout the ages. I have always appreciated it (although some among those who’ve known me the longest, may call this into question). It’s a reminder that we are not all the same, we’re […]
The Sam Adams Alliance, a free-market think tank that specializes in encouraging new media, held its third annual Sammies awards in beautiful downtown Chicago last Friday, April 16. This year the event hosted a visit by the Wall Street Journal’s John Fund and featured a keynote address by media maven Andrew Breitbart. And somewhere in […]
Okay, so a blogger named Ben Domenech blogged that Solicitor General Elena Kagan — an apparent SCOTUS front-runner — is a lesbian. The White House freaked out. The White House ripped CBS News on Thursday for publishing an online column by a blogger who made assertions about the sexual orientation of Solicitor General Elena Kagan, […]
Americans must be protected, lest our feelings be hurt. Our tender, tender feelings, and our lightly-held core beliefs. Or, at least, you’d think that: A federal court in Wisconsin decided Thursday that the country’s National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional because it calls on citizens to take part in religious activity. U.S. District Court Judge […]
From Rebecca Noah Poynter, at The Best Defense, “Michelle Obama and Military Spouses: Here’s Why We’re Frustrated and Angry“: I’m a military wife. We don’t mind that America doesn’t know the 685,000 of us. We learned during that first deployment years ago that there are times in the middle of the night when there is […]
