I spoke too soon about Congressman Rangel!

Down the line a ways, I posted a blog expressing my frustration with Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-Michigan) and his remarks about Social Security, in which he essentially shirked responsibility for addressing the not-so-distant shortfalls in its funding. I later commented that I respected his... Sign in to see full entry.

Sixth graders, hate mail, and Gorgon the Friendly Angel

In a comment to the posting about the Marine lieutenant being charged with murder for defending himself and his men against apparent attack, I mentioned a breaking news story about schoolchildren writing demoralizing letters to our soldiers. This needs to be discussed. A class of sixth-graders from... Sign in to see full entry.

George W. Bush: The Tale of the Tapes

It hardly seems like three decades since the dark days of Watergate. I was a young, naïve, idealistic liberal then, and I remember quite well my smug satisfaction over the Nixon tapes when they were made public. I was particularly pleased with the [expletive deleteds] that masked the profanity that... Sign in to see full entry.

Politically correct warfare: Is it murder for a soldier to defend himself?

Patano and his men raided an Iraqi terrorist’s house last April 15. They found bomb-making gear, and two Iraqi men tried to... Sign in to see full entry.

When you're through, please post to my comments section a logical, coherent, consistent explanation of what happened to their thinking between then and now. Have... Sign in to see full entry.

Modern liberalism versus business - a cautionary tale

Normally, I tackle issues of national and international scope while skewering liberal lunacy. Tonight, a bit of a departure from the norm, as I use an example of local politics to illustrate why liberal politicians are utterly incompetent when it comes to economic policy. The city of Toledo has been... Sign in to see full entry.

Double standards? What double standards?

The double standards practiced by the liberals continue to astound and amaze. First we have new Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean making a racially charged remark implying that Republicans see blacks as being no more than servants. Where was the liberal outcry over it? Easy – it wasn’t there.... Sign in to see full entry.

I DISAGREE WITH PRESIDENT BUSH!!!

I can just imagine a bunch of you faithful readers reacting in shock. Writeroflight, accused of all sorts of unhealthy devotion to George W. Bush, is going public with a statement like that? What's the catch? No catch. I have a genuine issue with a couple of his policies. One that sticks in my craw... Sign in to see full entry.

Congressional inaction on Social Security "morally wrong" - Sen. Bill Frist

Reader fwmystic offered the following comment to my previous posting (sans his or her derogatory title to same): "What Charlie Rangel said, in plain English, is why is it the responsibility of the Democrats to advance a plan on Social Security when a) the Dems don't see a "crisis", and b) neither do...

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.
