Sow the Wind of Ignorance, Reap the Whirlwind of Tyranny

One of the most famous quotes attributed to our founding fathers was the warning that, to paraphrase, our republic would be doomed as soon as the voters learned to vote themselves goodies from the public treasury. In the 2008 election, that dire prediction was not only fulfilled by the choices made... Sign in to see full entry.

Will Protests Against Obama be Acclaimed in the Media?

Remember how the lamestream news media used to take delight in reporting all the protests against President Bush? Anytime some liberals got together and started waving signs and chanting slogans, the lamestreamers were right there, giving them all the free press and adulation they could. Well, I...

Bah, Humbug! Ebenezer Obama Wants to Tax Charitable Giving by Wealthy

President Obama’s multi-trillion-dollar budget contains a huge lightning rod for bipartisan opposition. He wants to limit tax deductions for charitable contributions by individuals earning over $200,000 or couples earning over $250,000, and he’s counting on this to rake in $179.8 billion in new tax...

Obama’s Budget a Mathematical Impossibility, Will Bankrupt Nation

My wife and I have the dubious honor of having been among the millions of Americans who have recently experienced bankruptcy. It wasn’t due to bad luck, and not to the economy. And we certainly couldn’t blame President Bush for it, even though it was all the rage to blame him for all sorts of... Sign in to see full entry.

What’s the Bigger Story: Obama’s Speech, or Criticism of It?

So what was the news story last night? What was worthy of discussion and critique? Was it President Obama’s speech to Congress about the glories of bloated government and increased dependency in its beneficence? Or was it the response by Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal’s response – or, more to the... Sign in to see full entry.

Democrats Fudge Meanings of Words to Smear Porkulus Opposition

It occurred to me today that a good deal of the confusion and uproar over the Porkulus bill is due to President Obama and the other liberals employing a standard tactic of propagandists – hiding the truth by ignoring or arbitrarily changing the meaning of words. Consider, for example, the... Sign in to see full entry.

Obama Promise to Cut Deficit Plays to Voter Ignorance and Apathy

Yesterday, President Obama announced that his 2009-2010 budget would include tax increases and spending reductions designed to cut the federal deficit in half by 2012. (See http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight9992/597432 for discussion of the announcement.) This is not only... Sign in to see full entry.

Man Shoots TV Over Digital Conversion Confusion

After having my brain melted by exploring President Obama’s vow to reduce the federal deficit after he more than doubled it (see http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight9992/597432 ), I needed a good laugh. This story about a revolution other than the one I am fomenting comes from... Sign in to see full entry.

Is This an Obama Recession?

Liberals, including the Presidebt himself, love to try and blame the recession and the meltdown of the stock market on President Bush’s tax and economy policies. The record of the stock market since Obama took the lead in the Democrat political campaign indicates otherwise. Here’s a link to a chart... Sign in to see full entry.

Are all Conservatives Mind-Numbed Dittoheads?

Over on his Why Can’t I Sue the Whole Country? blog at http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Comments.aspx/596553, Kooka made this remarkable if clichéd claim the other day: “So all the Blogit conservatives can go on and keep spreading the propaganda they are handed from their higher ups like good old Rush...

About this Blog

In the classic Star Trek episode, The Omega Glory, a primitive people called the Yangs is at war with the ruling government. As the episode progresses, the Yang war drums are heard in increasing volume in the distance until the Yangs finally invade the government city and defeat their oppressors. Their victory won, the Yang chieftain utters a resounding phrase, “That which was ours is ours again!” This blog is now a war drum. I add it to the growing chorus of drums beating in the hills around the city of Washington DC. I do not advocate a revolution of violence and war. But I am joining others in beating our war drums for a peaceful and sweeping revolution at the polls starting in November 2010. This revolution will restore conservatives to power, and that which was ours – liberty, prosperity, restrained government, the rule of law, and personal responsibility - shall be ours again.
