Nancy Pelosi: "We've never railed against Mr. DeLay"

Nancy Pelosi has gone on record as saying, "We've [meaning Democrats] have never railed against Mr. DeLay." Say what? Consulting the handy-dandy ten-pound Random House Dictionary of the English Language Second Edition Unabridged, I find the following definition for "rail", as in "rail against": "To...

Will hiring more workers solve the Social Security problem?

Faithful reader Glenn, once he calmed down from seeing the dread name of Rush Limbaugh in my previous posting, raised a very good question about the Social Security problem: Will hiring more workers avoid the looming shortfalls? If my math is right, and assuming no changes in taxation or benefits,... Sign in to see full entry.

How will the liberals react to Bush's new angle on Social Security reform?

In his press conference Thursday night, President Bush offered an idea for Social Security that was right out of traditional liberalism: "I believe a reform system should protect those who depend on Social Security the most. So I propose a Social Security system in the future where benefits for... Sign in to see full entry.

Al Gore’s address to moveon.org: An exercise in collapsing credibility

In a speech to a moveon.org rally on April 27, Al Gore demonstrated a few of the common errors about the judicial filibuster controversy. The speech was quite lengthy, and it demonstrated very ably a progressive collapse of credibility. He started by once again bemoaning his loss in 2000. In doing... Sign in to see full entry.

Do votes count, or not?

Liberals concerning the November 2004 election: Every vote must be counted. Even votes cast illegally must be counted. Liberals concerning judicial confirmations: The full Senate must not be allowed to vote. Double standard, anyone? 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.
