The Progressive View of Job Creation gets Bodyslammed

Linda McMahon, former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, delivered a WWE-worthy smackdown to Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, her opponent in the race for the U. S. Senate. Actually, Blumenthal pretty much laid the smackdown on himself and his campaign with a singularly disastrous... Sign in to see full entry.

Congressional Priorities in a Nutshell

Actions taken by Congress in the past several days demonstrate in startling clarity exactly what their priorities are. In order of highest to least importance: Pass law banning overly loud television ads. Adjourn. Vote on whether or not to extend Bush tax cuts. Yesterday, the Senate passed a bill to...

Cue the crickets!

CUE THE CRICKETS Some talk show hosts have a routine where they'll pose a question to a hypothetical interviewee and then play the sound of crickets chirping away in a field. The idea is to suggest that the person questioned would not or could not answer the question, usually due to the resulting... Sign in to see full entry.

THE PARTY OF OUTRAGEOUSNESS

Local progressive columnist Don Burnard wrote a piece recently in which he decried the Republican Party as having “recently become the home of every outrageous, irrational and irresponsible thought process that can (im)possibly be thought of.” I'll begin by touching briefly on the author's...

The New Normalcy

Li mbaugh spoke today about how unemployment that the Obamacracy terms “unacceptably high” is going to be accepted as the new normalcy as a way to divert attention from their failures. I fear that the new normalcy is the evil pairing of an entitlement mentality and a malleable ignorance that,... Sign in to see full entry.

Harry Reid Strikes Again – Makes Racist Remark Against Hispanic Republicans

Senator Harry Greed (D-Nevada) – he who observed in a book last year that President Obama doesn't speak with a Negro dialect – has done it again. Desperate to hold on to his precious power, he stooped to claiming that Hispanics cannot be Republicans: “I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage... Sign in to see full entry.

Is Democrat Congressman Exploiting 9/11 Responders?

Misrepresentative Anthony Weiner (D-New York) threw a tantrum on the House floor last night that would have done a three-year-old proud. He didn't get his way, so he resorted to screaming, yelling, gesturing and making faces. Everything but throwing himself on the floor and holding his breath until... Sign in to see full entry.

So Who's Being Rude and Crude in Responding to Online Articles?

This was written in response to a column by Kirk Baird of the Toledo Blade. Dear Mr. Baird: I read with great interest your insinuation at http://www.toledoblade.com/article/20100628/BLOGS07/306289999 that those who criticize President Obama in their responses to online news articles and...

So let me get this straight . . .

The President of Mexico, where it is illegal for foreigners to comment on domestic political issues, comes to our capitol city and comments – very misinformedly at that – on American political issues, namely the Arizona law calling for enforcement of existing federal immigration law. And then our... 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.
