“…Despite hysteria over high home prices, in most parts of the United States housing is quite affordable. But in some places housing prices are astronomical — three times the national average in much of California, for example. …Why then are there particular places where housing costs have skyrocketed? In those places, much of the land […]

Look out, Republicans, because it seems that the Democrats have a crafty plan for 2006 in the works! From the Washington Times.. “Democrats on Capitol Hill are drafting a strategy to attack the Bush administration and Republicans as having little regard for the privacy of Americans. “We will initiate at the beginning of this year […]

As most of you have already heard, Jack Abramoff has rolled over and agreed to cooperate with a DOJ corruption probe. Apparently, the DOJ cut a deal with Abramoff so they could collect some scalps in Congress. In fact, there are apparently as many as 20 members of Congress — and their aides — that […]

From political analyst Hosein Rouyvaran on the Islamo-Fascist Iranian News Channel via Memri: The number of Jews in the world (before World War II) was about 13 million.

They claim it reduces crime: Giving homeless alcoholics a regular supply of booze may improve their health and their behavior, the Canadian Medical Association Journal said in a study published on Tuesday.

One of the themes Mark Steyn hammers on with some regularity is that the demographics of much of Western civilization seems to be unsustainable. In other words, Europeans are dying significantly more rapidly than they’re being born and unassimilated Muslims are being brought in to fill the gap. Well, Steyn has written his magnum opus […]

One of my all-time favorite books is Rush Limbaugh’s The Way Things Ought to Be. It’s a book that had a real impact on my thinking in my college years and although it’s a little dated, it’s still a great read. That’s why I decided to read it again and put together the best quotes […]

Over at Election Projection — which is a fine blog — Scott Elliott is predicting great things for the Libertarian Party in the future: “So, here’s my prediction. In the next twenty years or so, we’ll become a three-party political system. The Republican Party and the Democratic Party will be joined by the Libertarian Party […]

This bit by Jonathan Schell in The Nation has to be seen to be believed: The danger is not abstract or merely symbolic. Bush’s abuses of presidential power are the most extensive in American history. He has launched an aggressive war (“war of choice,” in today’s euphemism) on false grounds. He has presided over a […]

“When you are boating on the Niagara River, there are signs marking the point at which you must go ashore or else you will be sucked over the falls.

Happy birthday boy!

In the past, to inspire people to suggest new music that I might be interested in and just for entertainment’s sake, I’ve posted the music I was currently listening to on RWN.

Question: “Where do you think you would be without politics?” — Schwartzenheimer2 Answer: Before I started RWN, I ran a humor blog/zine called Brass Knuckles Webzine that pulled around 2000 daily uniques per day.

Question: “Dear John, I have a heart for the Iranian people who want their freedom from those mullahs. I also do not want Iran to be able to complete their nuclear weapon, if they haven’t already. If we attack Iran, we lose the support of the people I care about, because they are patriots also. […]

Question: “Many conservatives will consistently rank the Bible #1 in their list of favorite books, with Atlas Shrugged being #2. I have always found this curious, as these books seem to me to have messages and themes that are diametrically opposed to one another. In other words, I don’t think Christ and John Galt would […]

Question: “John, in all seriousness, do you think your site, www.rightwingnews1.wpenginepowered.com, helps your cause?” — CWSCHNEIDER Answer: No, I don’t. That’s why I get up and blog every day, because I think it’s hurting the conservative cause. You see, nothing hurts conservatives more than explaining our ideas, pointing out liberal bias in the media, and […]

Question: “I have been hearing about the decline of the MSM in various blogs for months. However the rumor of it’s impending demise seems to be greatly exaggerated in view of the furor created by the New York Times wire tap stories. They still set the agenda about what is news. How much longer do […]

It’s almost time for The 4th Annual “20 Most Annoying Liberals of 2005”. If you’d like to suggest liberals who should be included, please post them in the comments along with what they’ve done in 2005 that merits them receiving a slot. For inspiration, here are the last 3 years of “Most Annoying Liberals” lists. […]

Here’s a fun website (if by fun, you mean annoying, infuriating, and outrageously moronic): Citizens Against The Troops. Here are a few quotes from the front page of the website: “Above are people from Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, protesting at a dead scumbag’s funeral earlier this year. They are heroes, and make a […]
