All in all, the only person on the Right that I found who seemed to like the speech was Bill Kristol — and he didn’t exactly heap rainbows, faeries, and fluffy unicorn bellyscratches on it either. That being said, it’s also worth noting that while the reviews were almost universally negative, they weren’t all that [...]

Under a hard tyranny, if professional intellectuals fail to toe the official line, they are imprisoned or killed. What happens to them in a soft tyranny? Ask Dr. James Enstrom, a professor at UCLA who has been fired for thought crimes: Enstrom, an epidemiologist at UCLA’s School of Public Health, … says his studies show [...]

After Germans got carried away applying progressive ideology to the Jewish Question, the movement has backed away from eugenics, limiting its genocidal proclivities to the aggressive promotion of abortion. But to this day, if you scratch a liberal (as progressives now call themselves), you will often find a Nazi. For example, Professor David Marsland wants [...]

* Sarah Palin blasted Lisa “RINO” Murkowski’s political career like it was a wolf running from her helicopter & I love it * Some day, when I have a less demanding job, I look forward to taking as many vacations as Obama. * Women get their nails done and get zillions of shoes for other [...]

Generally, most of the major tools on the Internet are ignored, yet, everyone once in a while they write something so incredibly so mindless, so half no-witted, so perfidious, that it needs to be exposed. Here’s Kathleen Parker’s bit of complete idiocy: My name is Glenn Beck, and I need help Despite all the words [...]

Free speech? What Free Speech? Welcome to Islamist and Sharia compliant reality A coalition of faith groups met with Justice Department officials Monday to encourage the Obama administration to take a more public stance against anti-Muslim hate speech and hate crimes. Farhana Khera, president and executive director of Muslim Advocates, said the community leaders requested [...]

Bleh. Andrew Malcolm has the text of the speech along with some interestingly placed photos–I do believe he’s learned picture placement art from Drudge. My thoughts on the speech? Petty, small, graceless, and ultimately irrelevant. The American people know what’s up in Iraq. This speech wasn’t for them. It was for the Democrat base that [...]

Another one of Mitch McConnell’s favorites just went down in flames as Senator Lisa Murkowski just bowed to Alaska’s new GOP candidate for Senate, Joe Miller. Miller is far more conservative than Murkowski who was vying for the Ted Stevens award for pork. As the New York Times says… Mr. Miller shocked the political establishment [...]

Follow up to John’s essay: “My Short, Obligatory Obama Speech Review.” *********** I anticipated the president’s address in my previous post, “President Barack Obama Claims Credit on Iraq War.” I can’t add too much here, except to reiterate that I’m ashamed at Obama’s political posturing. I’m ashamed at Obama’s political opportunism, and I wish for [...]

Congressman Paul Ryan (R, Wis) and former Congressional Budget Office Director Doug Holtz-Eakin came together early this week to lambaste Obama’s failed economic policies. In a conference call to supporters and the press, CBO Director Holtz-Eakin said that there is “no evidence” that “the stimulus has really worked” and that Obama’s Keynesian fixes simply won’t [...]

It was appropriate for Obama to give a speech to announce the end of combat operations in Iraq. It was also worth noting that he gave a kind word to President Bush, although of course, it was part of a backhanded compliment he was paying to himself, As we do, I am mindful that the [...]

It almost sounds like the set up to a “guy walks into a bar” joke — or maybe a knock-knock joke — but the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank made an assessment of his own political ideology that can’t help but draw a laugh. As WaPo columnist Howard Kurtz reports, Milbank is being moved to the [...]

President Barack Obama telephoned President George Bush today. The White House won’t disclose what was talked about, but this might be accurate. Cross posted at All American Blogger.

My philosophy is that conservatives should generally support the most conservative candidate who can be elected in a particular state. So, if you have a RINO who has a 95% chance of winning in a primary with a conservative who has a 50% chance of winning, I’ll take the conservative candidate every time. Sure, you [...]

Righteous guardians of animal welfare have struck again: Police say break-ins at two fur farms have set more than 50,000 minks on the loose in northern Greece. Now the 50,000 minks can live happily ever after. Or maybe not: The National Fur Breeders’ Association says most of the released animals are likely to die in [...]

Not only is Renee Ellmers an outstanding congressional candidate with a fantastic chance to take Bob Etheridge’s seat in November, she has been a real friend to Right Wing News. She has done four guest posts so far and she gave her first written response to Bob Etheridge’s infamous video here at Right Wing News. [...]

* Are newsrooms racist because they’re mostly white? * Is Kos’ Netroots Nation racist because it’s mostly white? * Are the Senate Democrats racist because their caucus is mostly white? * If the crowd at an opera is mostly white, does that make it racist? * How about a rap concert? Is Jay-Z a racist [...]

Some days you just want to scream. The Arizona law is overwhelmingly popular with the American people. It mirrors federal law, and the only reason Arizona needs the law is because the federal government refuses to do it’s job. But now the Obama administration is using the law to say to the international community, “Hey, [...]

Our leftist rulers are starting to figure out that they can’t impose their radical agenda openly without paying a heavy political price, as they will for ham-fistedly seizing control of the healthcare industry. This is why their major initiatives are now imposed in the shadows, by faceless bureaucrats rather than legislation. Granting amnesty to tens [...]
