Here’s an email I received from RWN reader D. Giles, “Great interview (with Bernard Goldberg). I’d disagree with his analysis about conservatives sitting out elections. Even us poor rubes can add. Abstaining means one less vote for the Republican candidate. Voting Democrat means a net loss of two votes for the Republican. I didn’t do […]

On Thursday of last week, I caught up with Bernard Goldberg and interviewed him via phone about his new book, Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right: How One Side Lost Its Mind and the Other Lost Its Nerve. What follows is an edited transcript of our conversation. Enjoy! John Hawkins: Now, […]

Yesterday, I posted my favorite email from a Ron Paul fan in response to The Conservative Case Against Ron Paul, column of mine that ran at Townhall. I was going to leave it at that, but the email is still pouring in from the Pauliacs (the column must be posted on some of his fan […]

Over at MySpace, I’ve run across a group, with 402 members, called — believe it or not — F*** the Troops. I can’t say that I admire their attitude, but I do admire their honesty. Liberals usually don’t have the courage to write things like this, even though this is what most of them think… […]

Here’s a message I received in my MySpace account, “John I love your site but I noticed that you have Ronald Reagan as one of your heros. Haven’t you heard of the 1986 Big Treason of the American People? That was the year that RR sold out all of us who live under the flag […]

On Friday, I got together for a phone interview with National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman, John Ensign. Unfortunately, we spent more time than I anticipated debating particular parts of the bill and there were a few questions I planned to ask him that we didn’t have time to hit. Still, I appreciate the time he […]

This week-end, I received this email from RWN reader Rob Donavan, “Terry Jeffrey said something the other day that I found very puzzling: “However, when Fred Thompson was in the Unite States Senate, both times he ran for the Senate he ran as a pro-choice candidate. He was against the Republican pro-life plank in 1996, […]

I’m not the biggest Arnold Schwarzenegger fan, but when the man who could fairly be called the most successful living American immigrant gives other immigrants advice about how to succeed in America, it would seem wise to pay attention, Schwarzenegger, who immigrated to the U.S. from Austria, recently told a group of Hispanic journalists that […]

Last week, my Townhall column was called the The Conservative Case Against Ron Paul. The column did well, finishing 2nd for the day at Townhall on Friday. As expected, the Ron Paul crowd went absolutely insane in the Townhall comments section and via emails. The emails I received seemed to be roughly split between people […]

As we’re getting ready to start round 2 of the big immigration bill battle in the Senate, a crystal clear signal has just been sent that the comprehensive immigration bill will be probably be DOA even if it makes it to the House, “The U.S. House of Representatives this morning voted to withhold federal emergency […]

Question: “Do you think there’s any tension between the widespread conservative desire to see Scooter Libby pardoned after his conviction for perjury and obstruction of justice, and the insistence that President Clinton should have been removed from office for those same crimes?” — maledicta Answer: That’s a tough question because obviously, there are some parallels.

Question: “I keep hearing that “big business” favors the amnesty bill because it provides a continuing source of cheap labor. Shouldn’t the opposite be true, because if your grant amnesty to illegals, wouldn’t labor costs go up, because now you have to pay for all the things that were skipped before, e.g. unemployment and insurance […]

Question: “If only one were possible, would you rather see us (the right) win the White House or take back the Congress in ’08?” — WSOwen02 Answer: The presidency will be more important because if the next President is a Republican, he may very well get a chance to make the most important Supreme Court […]

Question: “Who do you want to win, Hamas or Fatah?” — BIG Answer: Well, first off, I’d like to see the fighting drag on and be as long and bloody as possible. After all, the more they fight each other, the less time they have to murder Jews. But, in the end, I’d prefer to […]

Question: What do you think of the following quote? “Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.” (Winston Churchill) — scalt Answer: I think it’s half right =D.
