To Whom Do You Think Obama Most Wants to Give Hope and Change?

Racism at the Obama Inauguration?

I don’t have time tonight to delve into President Obama’s inauguration address, but I do want to mention something very off-putting that occurred during the ceremony (besides the rudeness shown to former President Bush by some of Obama’s snottier supporters, that is; see...

The Bidens: Mr. And Mrs. Gaffe!

From the moment he was chosen as the Democrat’s Vice-Presidential candidate, we were entertained by Senator Joe Biden’s incredible talent for the gaffe. Blunder followed boner, screwup came hot on the heels of error, for week after hilarious week. Now, Mrs. Biden is joining the fun, following her... Sign in to see full entry.

Lions' 0-for-Season a Commentary on Obama’s Theme of Hope

I don’t usually get into sports in these musings, but the Detroit Lions’ singularly inauspicious 0-16 record, and their less-reported 0 for the last 53 weeks (their last win was December 23, 2007), are chock full of hope. So how am I going to tie this masterpiece of futility into President-elect... Sign in to see full entry.

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.
