Hawkins 1st rule of technology: For new technology to be worthwhile, it should be able to handle all the important features of the technology it’s replacing and then some. If you want to know why electric cars aren’t catching on in America, just take a look at this article from the Wall Street Journal. It’s […]

Remember when Obama stated that he wanted science to be based on facts, not ideology? Of course, he was discussing the use of federal money for embryonic stem cell research, so, was a silly statement to start with. And, how about Obama also signed a memorandum that directs the White House Office of Science and […]

Here we have the Credentialed Media digging for their OMG, we’re all one world! story Henry Louis Gates Jr., the black professor at the center of the racial story involving his arrest outside his Harvard University-owned house, has spoken proudly of his Irish roots. Strangely enough, he and the Cambridge, Mass., police officer who arrested […]

When your political opposition is self-destructing (even while in the majority and in control of the legislative and executive branches), most political observers would advise stepping back and allowing them to do so. But not the Republicans. They’re going to be the “significant other” that gives this president a win on his signature issue and […]

Yeah, I’m sure you assume the title of this post is hyperbolic. But before you jump to conclusions, read this article from the latest issue of Time: “Summer School: What? No More Vacations?” If Obama’s new Education Secretary has his way, your kids will be in government schools eight hours a day, twelve months a […]

Most people dramatically underestimate the threat of rogue regimes with nuclear weapons. Imagine a world where Iran gets nukes. Well, the first thing that will happen is that Egypt, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia — among many others — would buy, borrow, or steal nuclear weapons to keep Iran from using nuclear blackmail to dominate the […]

The defeat of Nazi Germany was a big setback for the progressive cause, but under Chairman Zero, it’s making up ground fast. A key player in his bid to seize control of the healthcare industry is Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of top teleprompter programmer Rahm “Dead Fish” Emanuel. Ezekiel wants doctors to look beyond the needs […]

There’s more to ObamaCare than skyrocketing taxes, waiting lists, rationing, and substandard care. A takeover of the healthcare system by left-wing bureaucrats will also mean more of this: A New York nurse claims she was forced to choose between her religious convictions and her job when Mount Sinai Hospital ordered her to assist in a […]

I’m so tired of everyone saying Canadian Healthcare is great. Here is an email I received from a friend who wanted to find a family doctor for his girlfriend. “Anyhow my girlfriend has been looking for a doctor for a few months now..You go to a clinic or a hospital and you ask for a […]

I understand that as a politician, you don’t want to offend anyone if you can help it — especially people who may conceivably be voting for you. Yet and still, sometimes you have to take a stand and when you do, some people are going to be upset by it. That brings us to the […]

David Brooks isn’t really worth the time it takes to denounce him, so please excuse the redundancy: In an era when the newspaper industry is laying off newsroom personnel to the tune of a thousand people a month, David Brooks is paid a full-time salary by Sulzberger. In return for this salary — his compensation […]

Bush Derangement Syndrome seems like a head cold compared to the Palin Hatred. Palin Hatred is like a full-blown mental swine flu. I fear it may be a slate clearer for the Democratic Party. Perhaps the Left could take this Sarah-free moment and consider the power their loathing, and the underlying fear, gives Sarah Palin. […]

Only question: Do Americans want America remade? In this weeks American Issues Project column I talk about the choice before America: While this is very much about Barack Obama personally–his whole life was made for this moment when he would be in the position where he could “remake America”–it’s even more about the American people. […]

This episode I talk about the Gates Affair, the Democrats and health care, Sarah Palin and Steve Schippert joins me to discuss what’s really happening in Iran. Should Israel bomb Iran and what would be the consequences? We also talk about what we teach our young people about rising out of poverty and overcoming difficulty. […]

Back in 2008 conservatives were in a tough spot: we had a candidate that many of us believe is representative of much of what is wrong with the Republican Party — running against an ultra-left-winger who told America we could trust him, in part, because Joe @$&*^%$ Biden was going to be around to be […]

He will if some of his fans get their way. My one and only Michael Jackson post Michael Jackson fans have launched a campaign calling for the superstar to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The late star’s fans have flocked to sign online petitions supporting the move. They say he should be honoured […]

Alright, not everyone buys a smart car because they are one of the .5% of AGW believers who are actually walking the talk, rather than just yammering on about concensus and awareness. They might make sense for someone who pretty much just lives and drives with a confined city, someplace like New York City or […]

I cannot take these fools anymore.

There are a number of things going on in the health care reform debate that are the reason Democrats are at odds with each other. One, obviously is cost. What should be apparent, even to rocket scientists like Nancy Pelosi, is that the American people are not buying into the premise that “government can expand […]

Mediocre Republican senator, George Voinovich, is spouting off at the mouth — and naturally, it’s about his fellow Republicans, not the Democratic Party, Too many conservative senators like Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) are to blame for the GOP’s downfall, one of their retiring Republican colleagues complained Monday. “We got too many Jim […]

The Birther issue serves one important purpose: if the whole of the Right can be painted as conspiratorial nutters, then the Left doesn’t have to defend or explain very unpopular policies like Cap-n-Trade, Card Check and Health Care. It is, in short, a diversion. When you got no game, play dirty. That’s the Left’s mantra […]

A few weeks ago, John wrote about what we can learn about socialized medicine from Massachusetts. Well, I think there’s one lesson he overlooked: the government health care fetishists can never be open and honest about their agenda. Recently, House Dems blocked Republicans from communicating with their constituents about health care “reform”: Democrats are preventing […]

I had a friend call all the Czars the President’s job’s program. Indeed. Today, Michelle Malkin’s new book Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies hits and it will be a must-read and dovetails nicely into the news of the day. In the meantime, check out this comprehensive list […]

The Competitive Enterprise Institute just began a new comedic YouTube channel called “Policy Translated.” It takes complicated policy issues and translates it with subtitles. Enjoy!!

It would be nice to think that moonbats are merely misguided. Many are, but at the core of their ideology, we find something very different from honest error. Vicious hatred of everything sacred is no accident: A publicly funded exhibition is encouraging people to deface the Bible in the name of art — and visitors […]

Now we know why conservative talk show host Michael Savage has been banned from entering Britain. Turns out they have an informal quota for non-Muslims on the no-entry list. No, I’m not kidding: Emails written by Home Office officials privately acknowledged the ban on Mr Savage would provide ‘balance’ to a list dominated by Muslims […]

As we’re moving towards the August break for Congress, Obama’s health care proposal seems to be sucking wind. It’s not dead, but it appears to have lost some momentum. Why is that? Well, first of all, you have to understand that the American people want diametrically opposed things. They want the quality of their health […]

Didn’t they know that they were supposed to nash their teeth, decry what Mankind was doing to Gaia, and hold awareness rallies? Climate study puts Incas’ success down to 400 years of warm weather Supreme military organisation and a flair for agricultural invention are traditionally credited for the rise of the Incas. However, their success […]

Taking the advice of Dr. Melissa Coulthier, I’m going to stop referring to the Democrat health care proposals as ObamaCare. Like she writes, “government run health care” doesn’t poll well, and “”Obamacare” sounds snipey and non-descriptive.” Another good way to term it would be “government taking away your freedom health care,” but, that tends not […]

Late last week, Right Wing News was pleased to have the opportunity to interview Congressman John Shadegg. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of that interview. All right, to begin with, if someone said to you, “Congressman, I have trouble following everything that’s going on with this healthcare debate — but what does it […]
