North Dakota Democrat Byron Dorgan, and South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham, are backing a bit of legislation that would ban the sale of goods in the United States made in what they define as “sweat shops.” They’re masking the initiative in terms of wanting to help exploited international workers, but really this is all about […]

Prompted by “Frost-aquiddick”, I posted my thoughts on “poverty” — that is, that true poverty doesn’t exist in America, if the Frost family is the best example of same that the Democrats could cook up, in a nation of 300 million. Mark Steyn called the post “brilliant,” while obscure lefty bloggers diagnosed me as “fat, […]

As long-time readers of Right Wing News know, I don’t post on RWN over the week-ends. Therefore, typically, what I have done in the past is just put up some links late Friday night and I’ve left it there until Monday. However, starting tomorrow, there’s going to be a change at Right Wing News: I’m […]

Growing Up / Thomas’ Grandfather Daddy made it plain though, that there was a connection between what he provided for us and what he required of us. He told us that if we learned how to work, we would be able to live as well as he and Aunt Tina did when we grew up. […]

If you’re looking for a conservative candidate in 2008 and my former employer and first choice for GOP nominee, Duncan Hunter, isn’t your cup of tea, then Fred Dalton Thompson may be your best bet. Here’s a primer that will explain why that’s the case. Playing To Win Fred’s a Tennessee native who “speaks Southern,” […]

“Thanks to Al Gore, now polar bears will no longer be drowning, (which means they’ll be) free to continue to kill and maim any humans that comes into contact with them, (thereby) contributing to world peace.” — Cassy Fiano Believe it or not, the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee has handed out a 2nd Nobel Peace […]

Here’s a very revealing story that gives you a pretty good idea of what a lot of liberals think of people who live in the South in general and NASCAR fans in particular, “Congressional Republicans Thursday seized on a Democrat’s recent suggestion that his aides get immunized before attending NASCAR events, claiming such a recommendation […]

* So, who is doing a better job of serving their interests: James Dobson or the Club For Growth? Dobson’s not particularly happy with the candidates the GOP has for President, so he’s threatening to support a third party run in 2008. That is creating enormous amounts of ill will towards Dobson and, if he […]

(We have a winner! After more than two days of guesses, marybeth guessed Kit Jarrell from Euphoric Reality. Actually, it’s Kit Lange now, but that’s close enough!) I want to play a little guessing game. The game is called: guess whose back — and you can have one guess per person in the comments section. […]

Earlier this week, I finished Clarence Thomas’ much hyped new book, My Grandfather’s Son. Was the book as good as you’ve heard? It was indeed. In fact, I think it’s comparable to David Horowitz’s conservative classic, Radical Son, in many ways. The book is, for the most part, a by-the-numbers biography of Thomas, but it […]

It’s always a crapshoot to talk about a story covered by the National Enquirer because they can be so wildly inaccurate. Sometimes they get it right, oftentimes they get it wrong, and sometimes it’s somewhere inbetween. In other words, they’re probably more accurate than the average liberal blog’s stories about conservatives and less accurate than […]

At this early hour of the morning, there seems to be a controversy shaping up over what should be relatively uncontroversial comments from Ann Coulter about religion. Before it’s over, it seems likely that Coulter’s comments will probably end up irritating people on both sides of the fence. On to the transcript, “From the October […]

If you want to know why so many Americans rightfully don’t trust the mainstream media and have, again rightfully, ripped the MSM for aiding America’s enemies and slanting what has happened in Iraq, then just look at these comments, “On Tuesday’s “Good Morning America,” co-host Chris Cuomo and media critic Howard Kurtz ignored the role […]

Yesterday, I put out a poll called, “Which Candidate Would You Prefer As The Nominee In 2008 Out Of These Choices?” The idea was to see whom RWN’s readers preferred amongst the contenders who seem to be most likely to win the nomination. Here’s how it broke down. John McCain: 2% Mitt Romney: 8% Mike […]

Here’s a video…from last week of U.S. troops and local Iraqis engaging known terrorists in the city of Hawr Rajab. Scenes include gun camera footage of troops pursuing and destroying a vehicle carrying terrorists. (It was produced by Task Force Marne Public Affairs and contains footage not suitable for young ones or more delicate sensitivities.) […]

Here are the results of a tour around the right side of blogospere with special emphasis on who won and how Fred Thompson did in his first debate. “In yesterday’s economics debate in Dearborn, Michigan Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson won, Mitt Romney lost and perhaps a few points were stolen from the Democratic front […]

It’s no secret that I don’t care much for Ron Paul, but after reading some of the hurt and angry responses from Ron Paul fans to his first place finish in the Right-Of-Center Bloggers Select Their Least Favorite People On The Right (2007 Edition) poll, I thought it might be worth taking the time to […]

Conservatives raised holy hell about the possibility that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was going to be allowed to go to Ground Zero. Ahmadinejad’s latest comments show that we were justified — and then some — to demand that he be kept away, Ahmadinejad a year ago had been unable to visit the site where about 3,000 innocent […]

“Perhaps the Democrats could find an orphaned child whose parents were brutally hacksawed to death to put forth their tax plan. If these Democrat human shields have a point worth making, how about allowing it to be made by someone we’re allowed to respond to?” — Ann Coulter Granted, the kid wasn’t an orphan and […]

The Examiner writes about Hillary’s using Sandy Berger for one of her foreign policy advisors. Will any of her opponents question her judgment in choosing a man who acknowledges (after he was caught and first lied to authorities) that he was taking top security documents and destroying them. Documents that dealt with exactly what the […]

Here are my notes, not quotes, from a teleconference I was on earlier this morning with Bill Lacy, Fred Thompson’s campaign manager. Opening Statement Fred’s in a strong position. We’re in 2nd place and have seen a slight uptick in national polls. However, we still need to translate that national support into our numbers in […]

“In the United States of America, unfortunately we still live in a bubble of unreality. And the Category 5 denial is an enormous obstacle to any discussion of solutions. Nobody is interested in solutions if they don’t think there’s a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of […]
