http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight/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 they finally invade the government city and defeat their oppressors. Their victory won, 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.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight/634703You wanted hope and change? By a 220-215 vote, the House of Misrepresentatives just hoped and changed you out of your health care, and a sizeable portion of your liberty along with it. That’s right, much of your liberty will go up in smoke as soon as President Obama signs this monstrosity into...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight/632183Americans are being dumbed down, to use a cliché. Far too many Americans are just plain ignorant, apathetic, or both. And their ignorance and apathy will be rewarded with the imposition of tyranny. Did I write, “will be rewarded with tyranny?” Make that, “ are being rewarded with tyranny.”...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight/631784The efforts by the anointed rulers in Washington to destroy American health care have truly entered the realm of Wonderland. Nothing is as it seems, nothing makes sense. Consider: Yesterday, the news was full of how the Senate Finance Committee had passed its version of the bill. One tiny little...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight/631502Yes, to judge by the words of actress Janeane Garofalo (for some reason, I want to call her Gandalfo – must be the hair).?????????? Ms. Gandalfo claimed last week that tea party participants are racist because they disagree with a black President. Watch her say so at...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight/629793Senators John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) and Barbara Boxershorts (D-California) are crafting legislation to combat “global warming.” Not that this is surprising in and of itself, but Senator Kerry has admitted to not knowing what in the world the bill is about. From an article at...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight/627596Amidst the usual hoopla and adoration from the lamestream news media, President Obama this spring declared September 11 to be a national day of service and remembrance, in which we are to memorialize those who died by doing things for other people. I will not delve into just why he thinks...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight/625687Reports are emerging that the vaunted and ballyhooed Cash for Clunkers program was nothing but another massively wasteful and inefficient government boondoggle. Major developments include: The program running out of cash, requiring an emergency allocation of additional funds; Scrapping of...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight/625314An article at http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE57K4XE20090821 reports that the Obama administration has revised its estimate of the federal deficit for the next ten years. Not downward, as the naïve and gullible who think he is infallible might believe. Upwards. Way upwards. Over 25%...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight/623723A news clip I heard late last week lauded the virtues of Congress’ hard work in drafting the health care demolition and made it a reason to not oppose this idiocy. I dearly wish I knew who said it, and had the quote exactly. But that was lost as I yelled back at the radio, “The Edsel was a symbol...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight/623563My favorite TV series ever is the dearly departed science-fiction classic, Stargate SG-1. But this isn’t about my viewing preferences. It’s about the love of liberty. That love is a recurring theme throughout the series, as a people fights for its freedom against an overwhelmingly powerful...
