Occupy Wall Street College Grads Should Sue Their Schools
What’s most puzzling about Occupy Wall Street is a persistent resistance by recent college graduates to acknowledging the cause and effect phenomenon manifested by big government interference in business. When you employ the economic policies of Woodrow Wilson, FDR and Jimmy Carter you’re going to get a lousy economy because you’ve created a climate that’s unfriendly to business. To blame corporations and especially small business for not hiring when the business climate dictates they take steps to insure their survival is wrong. If you’re the CEO of a corporation who’s responsible for ensuring ...
Decade Of War
The last ten years has seen a semi unbound Great Satan – using her fire power, brain power, will power and staying power all across the globe in war. Wars occur at unpredictable times, take unpredictable courses and have unexpected consequences. Some wars are carefully planned, but even those wars rarely take place as expected. Think of the Germans in World War I, having planned the invasion of France for decades and with meticulous care. Nothing went as planned for either side, and the war did not take a course ...

Hot gossip, intellectual rumors and more! From the unscholarly part of Wings Over Iraq
Team LoD
From veteran journalist Carl Prine Well, we set another record at LoD last month. Thanks to Mike Yon, the inimitable Courtney Messerschmidt and U.S. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey’s poopy reading list, we garnered the most monthly hits since I took over in March. Yah! Go team LoD! Because we have so many new readers, I thought we might want to take a look at the top stories from last month, divided by author. Commanders eat after their troops so I’ll go last. Because we have so many new readers, I thought we might want to ...

Wisconsin School Punishes Christian Kid for Being a… Christian Kid
Superintendent Todd Carlson of Shawano High School in Shawano, Wisconsin is sorry a student observed his First Amendment rights and had his article published in the school newspaper that denounces homosexuals adopting children. And so Superintendent Carlson is making amends by punishing this Christian kid for being so darn Christian. Superintendent... [Read more of this review]
The GOP Debate in Florida
I get a lot of heat from many of my conservative friends for not supporting Newt. But last night’s debate continues to show me that Romney is better prepared not only to face Obama in the general, but to make the case in the primaries. Did Gingrich imagine that any of us care about how Romney has managed his well earned money? Did he also not... [Read more of this review]
16 Concerned Scientists: Chill Out, No Need To Freak Over Anthropogenic Global Warming
Why? Because “There’s no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to ‘decarbonize’ the world’s economy.” After a few paragraphs describing how not every scientist is a Warmist, and the numbers who are opting out of previous held beliefs that Mankind is mostly or solely at fault, we get to (h/t Climate Depot) (Wall...

Narcissistic (And Incompetent) President Wants Second Term “Badly”
Quite obviously, there has to be a bit of narcissism in any person who wants to run for the presidency. Yet, with Barack Obama, everything seems to be all about himself. Does anyone get the feeling that Obama wants to be president to help anyone, to be a good steward of the United States as President? That he wants this country to be strong and a force...

The Superhuman Density Of The Liberal Mind When It Sees Something It Doesn’t Want To See — Like Radical Islam.
There’s a famous Time cover from 1992 that hammers home the almost superhuman density of liberal minds when there’s incredibly obvious information present that runs counter to what they want to hear. Most people figured out that men and women were born different at about 4 years old. For the liberals at Time, however, this was such a stunning... [Read more of this review]
Of Course, Conservatives Can Trust Him! (Mitt Pic)
What About Newt On Illegal Immigration? (Q&A Friday #111)
Question: “How can you support Gingrich given that he will institute some kind of mass amnesty? Giving citizenship to illegal immigrants is the quickest way to ensure that conservatives never win another election.” — David Answer: If you’ve been reading Right Wing News for a few years, you know that my position is that I oppose...

This Week In Quotes: Jan 20-26
(If the rich are evil) why are you sitting in their library? Why are you sitting in their hall? Why did I just listen to a whole show on orangutans with no commercials that they paid for? — Adam Carolla The buzz in Washington now is that the Republican Establishment fears Gingrich will cause them to lose the House and not get the Senate. Put another... [Read more of this review]
Mr. and Mrs. Cranky Pants
So, it turns out that the cool cat billed as “No Drama Obama” by his sycophants is actually quite the drama queen. While the White House publicly pretends to ignore conservative detractors of his administration, Chief Touchy-Touchy seems to be personally consumed by our critiques. Yes, mine included. On Wednesday, the president had himself... [Read more of this review]
Obama’s vision for a Spartan America
President Obama’s State of the Union address was disgusting. The president began with a moving tribute to the armed forces and their accomplishments. But as he has done many times now, he celebrated martial virtues not to rally support for the military, but to cover himself in glory — he killed Osama bin Laden! — and to convince the...

Obama’s Misstatements on the Union
Only a president long shielded from criticism and accountability could make the kind of State of the Union speech President Obama did Tuesday night. It’s hard to know where to begin, given his repetition of tired ideas from his previous SOTUs, his taking credit for successful policies he resisted and omitting failed ones he promoted, his numerous...

February Is Romney’s Month
If Mitt Romney wins in Florida, he will likely sweep the month of February and have a clear path to the nomination. Romney’s people have doubtless been using their influence at the state level to line up friendly states for February caucuses and primaries. Now he is in a position to sweep the table if he wins in Florida. On Saturday, Feb. 4, after... [Read more of this review]
Analysis Of The Republican Jacksonville, Florida Debate
So, we have our last debate for awhile. This one was moderated by Wolf Blitzer and as per usual, the debate started out with lots of fighting and then moved on from there into a relatively mediocre group of questions. 3) Newt Gingrich: If I absolutely had to split Mitt and Newt apart here, I’d put Newt in the three slot and Mitt in the four slot,...
