A plant? Or an independent voice?

Conservative reporter Jeff Gannon, formerly of Talon News, is in the news again. It seems the liberals in the White House press corps still cannot tolerate the notion that someone in their midst has the courage and integrity not to participate in what has become the standard behavior of couching...

Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Ten Commandments

Short and oh, so sweet: Justice Kennedy, during the Supreme Court's hearing of arguments to ban the Ten Commandments from government property, offered a comment of singular insight. He said that banning such displays could be interpreted as a governmental "hostility to relgiion." That's a... Sign in to see full entry.

Those stuck-in-the-mud liberals!

Normal perceptions of political perspectives are in great upheaval. Conservatives are, by definition, “disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change,” while liberals are “favorable to progress or reform” (Random House Dictionary of...

More on execution for crimes committed as a minor

After further reflection, I have some questions for the supporters of yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling on capital punishment for crimes committed by minors: How is it that 16- and 17-year-olds are mature enough to make their own decisions about abortions and seek them without parental consent or...

The utter desperation of opponents to Social Security reform

The following letter ran in the Toledo Blade on Tuesday, March 1:: "Surely there can no longer be any doubt about what the President has in mind for Social Security. "After seeing and hearing chants of "Hey hey! Ho ho! Social Security's got to go!" at a town hall meeting held by the President's... Sign in to see full entry.

Supreme Court abolishes death penalty for crimes committed by minors

In a 5-4 decision, the U. S. Supreme Court has ruled that the death penalty is unconstitutional when applied to criminals for crimes committed when they were minors. Cruel and unusual punishment, the majority of justices said, because the little darlings essentially didn’t have a mature enough... Sign in to see full entry.

Guaranteed benefits? What guaranteed benefits?

The notion that Social Security benefits are somehow guaranteed has become one of the foundations of the arguments against allowing a portion of Social Security taxes to be invested voluntarily in private retirement accounts. Well, now, wait just a minute. What, exactly, is guaranteed? Not the... Sign in to see full entry.

Public Teachers’ Union Flunks Fourth Grade Math

Modern liberals have developed an amazing new theorem of fundamental mathematics. It is very simple yet very profound. This radical breakthrough? If the amount by which a number is increased is lessened, it becomes a drastic reduction of the original number. Not subtraction from the original, but... 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.
