Ohio Bans Public Smoking, New York Bans Transfats; Why Stop There?

Now that the busybodies at the New York City Board of Health have deigned to ban transfats from the Big Apple, now that Ohio voters have seen fit to snuff out the rights of smokers by banning smoking in public places, why should we stop with only these bans? If we want to start banning things that... Sign in to see full entry.

Abstinence Inferior to Contraceptives in Avoiding Pregnancy?

Just in time for Christmas, that’s what a London Daily Mail story is claiming in a story aimed at undermining the Bush administration’s advocacy of abstinence in controlling teen pregnancies. The headline itself indicates that something isn’t quite right about the logic of the story: “'Birth control... Sign in to see full entry.

Is Al Gore a "Progressive"?

The term "progressive" hints at one committed to progress, as in moving forward. (That in itself is a paradox, since so many liberals - excuse me, progressives - want to regress to higher taxes). Not Al Gore. From a story at Newsmax: Former Vice President Al Gore took a swipe at Supreme Court... Sign in to see full entry.

Pelosi Dumps Hastings, Screws Up Answer When Asked About Iraq

Nancy Pelosi did something smart today when she abandoned her long-standing desire to have Congressman Alcee Hastings elected to chair the House Intelligence Committee (see http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WriterofLight1342/421381 for discussion of why this was a bad idea). Good move, Nancy!... 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.
