So, why did we start this blog, anyway?
We’re glad you asked.
First off, here’s a news flash for all the liberals out there: Not all Republicans listen to country music and pack heat. Not all of us have rebel flags in the back of our Ford F150s. Not all of us are crazed religious freaks who will chase after you with our bibles. And, not all of us are old, gray-haired white men in suits or 20-something WASPs with trust funds. Some of us are just good, old-fashioned, stiletto-and-Sephora-wearing, hardworking, compassionate women who respect our country and our fellow human beings, vehemently resist socialist ideology, and believe in a healthy respect for government while understanding that we, the people, are the only ones who should be responsible for giving strength to that government.
Oh yeah – and that healthy respect for government? That doesn’t mean we can’t mock it. We believe, in fact, in the power of laughter and mockery in upholding those beliefs to keep us grounded when the people in power threaten our sanity on a daily basis with their ridiculous shenanigans (and yes, Rod Blagojevich, we mean you.)
Over the past couple of years, we’ve both noticed the demise of foundational values in this country – values such as hard work, self-responsibility, and the capitalist notion of less government interference. With the dawn of the Millenial-generation’s “the country owes me” mentality and the media-driven deification of a political figure in the last Presidential election, we started speaking out more and more about the looming socialist ideology that faced us – the “Harrison Bergeronification” of our country, if you will – and we couldn’t believe the backlash we received. Apparently, people get really sensitive when you criticize liberal ideology. This became painfully obvious at Mockarena’s original site, www.themockdock.com, where readers became positively VICIOUS in their debates about various political figures, goings-on in Washington, and even good old American values like protecting and honoring the American flag. It was after a few of these more lively discussions that Daisy suggested, “Hey – we should start a political blog! One where we can freely mock and poke fun at the political process and all of its related people and parts, but also appeal to others like us – conservative, cool, and totally together women of today who just don’t buy into the media-espoused liberal philosophy which is now pervasive in DC. ” And Mockarena said, “Ooooo – I love that idea. And Mockdockers who want the political stuff can come to our new site, and Mockdockers who don’t want the political stuff can stop complaining about it because it will have a new home. On our new site. That we will do together. Brilliant.”
Here’s the thing. Being a conservative isn’t “hip” these days, and we believe that the conservative movement needs to move past its cold, white-male stereotypical image, jump into this century, and get their butts in gear from a technological and public relations standpoint to compete with the frightening, yet growing population in this country that relies on E! News and high-school-dropout celebrities for its political tidbits. We believe that the notion of take-take- take will not come without an ultimate price. We believe that change comes only from every single individual in this country – not more enabling, individually-disabling, government control. And we believe there are more people like us out there – people who are seriously disturbed by the trends they see in today’s culture, but not so serious that they can’t make fun of it all. As mentioned above, we like to laugh, mock, and guffaw as often as possible. We especially like to guffaw, and what better to guffaw AT than politics and politicians? It’s like taking candy from a baby or virginity from Paris Hilton. Whichever you prefer. It’s a democracy, after all. For now, anyway.
If you’re searching for a political site that is more buttoned-up than miniskirt, this isn’t your place. We like to laugh, we like to have fun, and we intend on doing just that. We don’t claim to be political experts or economists or anything other than two cool chicks who like to tell people what we think about stuff. We hope you – liberals and conservatives alike – will stop by often, and we welcome you to www.chicksontheright.com.
This blog is going into my Favorites right now! I love your humor, your common sense approach. I’ll be back frequently.

Thanks Jennie!! And welcome!
We actually had to recreate this post just today as we discovered that it had been deleted somehow, along with all of the comments that went with it. We’re glad to have a new comment on it now we’ve brought it back from cyber never never land!!
Yep, you guys rock! I love this blog.
Ladies, you make me even more proud to be a Conservative than I was. Keep up the good work. If more Conservative women like you speak their minds it just might soften up the image of us hard case Conservative men. With the Liberal Intelligentsia running the media we need all the help we can get, LOL.
It was a great pleasure to meet the both of you intelligent ladies this past Saturday! I’ve only had a brief moment to delve into your insightful blog but from what I’ve read thus far, I’m HOOKED! Keep up the good work and I, too, will be visiting often. After all, someone has to keep these crazed liberals under some kind of control, right?!
I love this website! I am glad I caught you in the Indianapolis Star. Thank you for creating it! We are not alone!
YAY! Welcome, Right Chicken Winger!!! Come and comment often!
More conservative girls, yay! Found you on the web and then looked for you on Facebook. Just finished inviting all my right-leaning gal pals to check you out. Thanks!
YAY! And you’re not even the only one in California!
Found you guys last night after doing a Google search for the yummy pics of Scott Brown! This is a great blog. Found you on Facebook too. I was once passionate about politics but three babies (and another on the way) kind of took over. However, I’m thinking the Massachusetts election and this blog might just have re-sparked my interest! I shall be back often (probably daily)!
Welcome, Idaho Girl! I hope you come back and comment frequently!
I happened to get the bingo card from a friend. WOW!! I am glad she sent it. I did not know about your site. I will definately be a follower. I was jumping up and down when I watched the final returns from my democratic state of Massachusetts and saw that Scott Brown ( no relation) had won. My only regret is that some of my kids are liberals , dont know how that happened. No wait, yes I do, schools and colleges!! Keep up the good work!
Welcome, warkittens! Hopefully your kids are just going through a phase.
Please visit and comment often!
This site is great! The link was sent to me by a friend at another TEA Party site.
More and more Americans are waking up and some are willing to go as far as the Founding Fathers to restore this Republic.
We women have alot more power and influence than many realize or refuse to acknowledge.
Increasing numbers are becoming politically active and are taking time out of their lives to call, write and meet face to face with their elected officials and are demanding representation of THIER ideals, not those of the representatives.
They have been called names, accused of being ‘right wing nuts’ and have even captured the attention of the immenently UNQUALIFIED Homeland Security Sec., Janet Incompetano [at least Arizona is safer without her].
The main stream media [NOT] AKA the ‘Sock Puppet Press’ is complicit in this administration’s socialist agenda.
Thank goodness for sites such as this which offer the truth as well as informative and entertaining commentary.
Warkittens, do not despair! Winston Churchill said “If you are not a liberal in your 20′s, you have no heart. If not conservative in your 40′s, you have no brain”. They will figure it out when they are members of the adult community and realize how much of their paycheck goes to the ‘government’.
I’ll definitely come back.
THANKS!
Welcome, Horsemom!! Glad you’re here. Please visit and comment often!
Oh thank god I found you.
Apparently I am a too white over priviledged, uncompassionate person. I also do not rely on social services and I worked my ass of to become an engineer.
I am here. Although I am more nerdy-geeky than hip, but I do own a corset
. I agree with you 100%, especially the almost slavish worship of celebrity. But people who are too lazy to think need something to entertain themselves with, but I wonder when masturbation became passe? The training starts young, in school. its scary to go to sites and have lessons for the teacher and what the kids “should get” out of the lesson. Funny how the supposed proper answer is a liberal one. Woe be the kid who doesnt sing kumbayah .
Welcome, droxy! Stop by and comment often!
thanksI look forward to being sarcastic. =)
Dislcaimer: I am a horrid typist.
I can’t believe I only found this blog today. Fabulous! I’ve become a fan of chicksontheright on facebook too.
WELCOME, tiffaroolou! I hope you comment often just so I can type your name a lot. SO FUN!
A friend recommended your blog the other day. I am not a “blog person”, but I will be following yours! This is so much who I am and what I think, I am thrilled to find it. Thank you!
YAY! Welcome, Andrea!!!
This blog is totally awesome Dude! I absolutely love the humor.
Welcome rightbikerchick! Enjoy!
This is the year – or should I say the beginning of the years – of the conservative chicks!!
Read part of your blog. Sort of interesting.
“Not all of us are crazed religious freaks who will chase after you with our bibles.”
Yeah, before I knew the Lord I might have used an expression like that or thought that was funny.
I have a healthy respect for people who like the bible and read it.
I am registered Republican although lately I was thinking constitutionalist would be better.
I have never been fond of country music, do not own a gun (I would though and think having one in the house in case someone broke in in the middle of the night is not a bad idea). I believe in the second amendment. Never owned a pick up truck. Just a regular guy who thinks God is cool and loves this country.
“Not all Republicans listen to country music and pack heat.”
I am not big on country music, but believe in exercising my second amendment rights.
Wow! I am glad I found you ladies to talk to. I am the Red Lady in very Blue State – Connecticut. I need someone to talk to who doesn’t have to take their head out of the sand first. Sending this on to my conservative daughter and a few friends, too.
So much is happening and so quickly.
The ‘CRICES’ so enjoyed by Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel just keep on coming and the incredible incompetence of this entire administration is stunning.
There have been attempted terror attacks and one successful attack at Ft Hood which was entirely preventable if the Army had been less focused on political correctness and the desire not to offend one of its officers who was OBVIOUSLY an Islamic Fanatic…the botched car bomb in times square & the Christmas Day ‘underwear bomber’.
There here is the oil spill in the Gulf…………imagine how George W. Bush would be pilloried by the media if he were still Commander in Chief. Obama didn’t even deign to show himself in La until EIGHT days after a mysterious explosion took the lives of eleven human beings………has the media gone out of its way to examine the lives of those people and their families? NO, they’re too busy pointing fingers at BP and Haliburton. Chris Matthews [that brilliant 'journalist' from MSNBC] suggested that the CEO of BP be EXECUTED…………[R E A L L Y ?!?!?!?]and that our government take over the company…….
[again, R E A L L Y ?!?!?!?] In the mean time the oil continues to spread and will soon foul the beaches and marshes of Gulf Coast states…….the upcoming hurricaine season will also be helpful, I’m sure! I, for one, would really love to know HOW the thing blew up in the first place!
Last week the Israelis boarded a ship which violated an international blockade, the ship [allegedly] was carrying ‘humanitarian relief supplies’ for the people of Gaza [who, at this time are not particularely in NEED of said supplies]. The Israelis were ‘armed’ with paintball guns [sorry to be repetative here but R E A L L Y!?!?!?!?] and side arms which they had been instructed not to use unless they were fired upon first. The ‘humanitarians’ set upon the Israelis with pipes and knives, they [the Israelis] were beated, stabbed, and thrown from upper decks to lower decks and into the water.
The only thing Hamaas and the Palestinians do during any cease fires is rearm. The response from the UN? Condemnation of Israel.
The response from the US via Sec State Hillary Clinton was support of the Un’s position.
The UN has ignored Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons but is looking to remove Israel’s nuclear weapons.
Personally, I think the UN should relocate, to Israel within range of the missiles which are lobbed into that country with great frequency by the Palestinians.
This snowball of insanity continues its course down the mountain gathering momentum and size.
Our government is out of control and is trying to remove the constitution from our realm of knowledge just as a minority has attempted to remove God from the conscienceness of the American People.
We need to WAKE up. We need to READ the constitution so we can know what is says and what it means and we need to share that knowledge with our kids and grandkids. They need to understand that the government started by our founders was not a Democracy but a Representative Republic. No Democracy in the history of the world has survived more than a couple of hundred years.
After the Constitution was written a woman asked Ben Franklin what kind of government they had chosen for the people, his response was “A Republic, Madam, IF you chose to keep it”.
This is now OUR choice…..we need to stay awake and to awaken our friends and neighbors.
There are battles on two fronts………our fight for liberty over tyranny and our fight for life over Islamic fanaticism.
God Bless.
In order to provide some education to the public, our local Tea Party Patriot group is sponsoring a Flag Day Celebration consisting of a flag (antique, new, state, etc) demo and handouts on flag etiquette, history, and fun flag coloring pics for kids….just one way we are trying to bring back the message to our neighbors. Any other ideas of how we can provide fun ways to remind them of our heritage?
