HR45 [aka the Blair Holt bill] is such a blatant attack on the Second Amendment, you would think it must be a hoax. But Snopes assures us otherwise: In a nutshell, the Blair Holt bill would: • Prohibit possession of any handguns or any semiautomatic firearms that can accept detachable ammunition-feeding devices (excluding antiques) by […]

In case there was any doubt whose side our current rulers are on in the long dispute between America and Iran’s terrorist mullahcracy, the Obamination Administration has moved to squash a lawsuit against the Islamic regime by Americans who were taken hostage the last time we let a complete moonbat in the White House. The […]

Doesn’t look good for the home team folks. The demographic and geographic changes mean that Republicans will have to reach a more diverse, more female, more young, more fickle populace. Alex Castellanos says,”‘We’re anti-government’ doesn’t work anymore. Conservatives don’t mind government, they just like self-government.” Individual liberty IS the common good. When people individually follow […]

I’m a fan of Craigslist for two reasons: First off, from a personal perspective, it’s free and it works. I’ve sold and promoted things on Craigslist and I know other people who have, too — and in my experience, it works just as well as a classified ad, but doesn’t cost anything. You’ve got love […]

What’s going on in Pakistan right now has the potential to be one of the most significant developments in world history. The always shaky Pakistani government is teetering more precariously by the day and a motley collection of Taliban, Al-Qaeda thugs, random terrorist groups, and tribesmen are moving ever closer to getting their hands on […]

Here are five blogs that I like. Give ’em a look! BitsBlog Conservatism Today Marathon Pundit Paul Ibrahim Power Line Bloggers, post links to five blogs you like and encourage your readers to take a look — and, yes, I came up with the idea of adapting this from Twitter and bringing it into the […]

One of the things about having Obama as president and all the wacky people he has surrounded himself with is that there is always something to write about. Sometimes way too much. It becomes all Obama all the time, at least for my part, as he and his admin are stuck on stupid, and countries […]

That was the cry during Bush’s time in office, correct? Anything that happened, no matter that it might have started prior to January 20, 2001, happened on Bush’s watch. September 11th, a date that will live as a missing day in liberal’s minds, such as they are, was plotted, planned, and implemented prior to Bush […]

DHS has identified retired military, right-wing extremists to monitor; exhuming George Washington to make sure he’s dead. — BOTeleprompter How oppressive must a leader be before we determine that he has not merited a hug by the democratic standard-bearer of the free world, the president of the United States? — Shmuley Boteach Methinks an appropriate […]

“From this arises an argument: whether it is better to be loved than feared. I reply that one should like to be both one and the other; but since it is difficult to join them together, it is much safer to be feared than to be loved when one of the two must be lacking.” […]

One of the oddities of my career in the blogosphere is that, even though I’m a hard-boiled Protestant, my writings on cultural issues have earned me legions of Catholic admirers . . . . My ancestors were Ulster Scots and Covenanters, and respect for the sacrifices they made to defend their independent faith requires me […]

We’re known here at this blog for being adamant about denouncing plans which appease terrorists. It’s a absolute no-win situation for the appeaser. Pakistan is now in the middle of learning that hard lesson: Pakistan’s strategy of trying to appease Taliban militants is showing signs of backfiring, as extremists move within 60 miles of the […]

I was hoping the Tea Parties would bring media attention toward Barack Obama’s fiscal irresponsibility. That lasted about a day, didn’t it? Now, it appears the Democrats have turned full circle and diverted their efforts toward “investigating” torture. This is clearly being done to remove the heat from the 500,000 “angry radicals” on tax day. […]

As executive of King County, Washington, Ron Sims was at the center of scandal after scandal. So naturally, Barack Obama nominated Sims for Deputy Secretary of HUD. Given the abundant evidence that Sims is either corrupt or incompetent (or possibly both), what does the senior Republican have to say to the nominee at his confirmation […]

I’m in Los Angeles at the Hyatt Hotel where the Heritage Foundation gathered thought leaders from across the country to learn and share information. Grover Norquist’s think tank Americans for Tax Reform sponsored me here and two chairs away from me, Adam Radman, ATR’s Communications Director sits. The main ballroom is filled with conservatives from […]

Last week former Congressman and presidential candidate Tom Tancredo attempted to speak at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill on the illegal alien crisis. He was prevented by moonbats who stormed the stage. This week former Congressman Virgil Goode gave it a try. The result: [S]ix people were charged with disorderly conduct, arrested […]

The New York Times is appalled: after only two days, Apple’s App Store acknowledged public outrage by removing an iPhone application called “Baby Shaker,” which entails shaking an image of a baby until it dies. Screeches the Gray Lady’s Saul Hansell: I’m troubled by the way Apple caved into pressure here. … The last thing […]

I hope there’s such a thing as better late than never, because I thought I’d recap last Wednesday’s Tax Day Tea Party held in New York City’s City Hall. A week later, anyone who cared enough to attend a “tea party” should stay involved in order to ensure that the day’s events are not quickly […]

Our arrogant new lord and monarch, Barack Obama, is displaying the same level of competence as SUPER-CEO of General Motors as he has everywhere else except public relations — in other words, he’s a human 12 car pile up at rush hour. From Holman Jenkins in the Wall Street Journal, It’s good to be the […]

The unmitigated gall of some people, The father of Sarah Palin’s grandchild said Wednesday night that he might pursue legal action against the Alaska governor’s family, who he says has cut off communication with him and are no longer letting him see their son Tripp. Levi Johnston said during an interview on CNN’s “Larry King […]

Barack Obama may like the idea of trumped up, vindictive prosecutions of his political opponents for “torture,” but initially, even he was smart enough to see where it would lead. If George Bush or Dick Cheney were sent to jail for “torture,” why couldn’t Barack Obama be sent to jail by a future Republican Congress […]

There are several other fun stories out there, such as Hillary threatening to put Iran in timeout, Janet Napolitano blaming Canada for the 9/11 terrorists, and mobile phones getting a bit out of control, but nothing could be more fun this Thursday that Senator Waffles wading in to the climate change legislation issue Senator John […]

If you’re a regular reader of RWN, you’ve probably noticed the thumbs up/thumbs down graphic on every post. That helps rank posts on RWN, decides which posts get extra promotion, and gives the bloggers on RWN a better idea of what you like and don’t like. So, how about giving posts a thumbs up or […]

I tell you, I’m starting to feel like Glenn “Sock Puppet” Greenwald, Excitable Andy, and the nuts from The World Can’t Wait, considering all the posts as of late I have written regarded enhanced interrogations, but this subject is fascinating. It highlights the pusillanimous and September 10th mentalities of the Left, who are way more […]

Just got off a conference call with Texas Senator John Cornyn. It seems that I was the only one on the call, so after his preamble about voting against President Obama’s budget and his foray into immigration, I got to ask all the questions. It seems that Immigration reform will happen with the Obama administration. […]

Earth Day is a time to honor the bold progressives who managed the astonishing feat of mainstreaming antihuman nihilism by packaging it as “environmentalism.” Prominent among them is Ira Einhorn, who was instrumental in establishing Earth Day. When the first one took place in 1970, Einhorn was master of ceremonies. He has another claim to […]

Contrary to popular belief, liberals aren’t opposed to prayer. They’re only opposed to praying to Jesus. If you want to pray to an Arabian moon god popularized by a blood-thirsty pedophile warlord during the Dark Ages, progressives have your back. Think Progress takes to task one of the very few responsible leaders in the Senate, […]
