The Left Wanted America to Seek International Favor . . .

Well, it looks like we got it by handing control of Congress over to the Democrats. And guess who is all excited about it? Read this excerpt of a story from the San Diego Union Tribune: "Iraqi politicians opposed to the continued U.S. presence in the country were delighted with the outcome. “'The...

Voter Ignorance and the Death of the Republic

I don’t have a citation for this, but it has been said that a democratic republic can last only until its citizens learn to vote goodies for themselves. Based on the passage of Ohio Issue 2, which mandates a massive increase in the minimum wage, we are doomed. In short: Voters were suckered by the... Sign in to see full entry.

A New Direction For America: Vote Democratic?

(A friend sent me this.) By now you've all seen the Democrats' latest campaign slogan: "A New Direction For America -- Vote DEMOCRATIC!"* Let's analyze this empty and misleading promise. The stock market is at a new all-time high and America's 401K's are back. A new direction from there means what?... Sign in to see full entry.

New York Times: Saddam was a Year Away from Nuclear Weaponry

This is great. Remember how the left and the Saddam sympathizers were so eager to discredit documentation seized in Iraq after the invasion? The documents were planted/forged, our government/military translated them so we can’t trust the translations, and so forth? Remember how eager the New York... Sign in to see full entry.

Vice President Cheney's Wife Blitzes Wolf Blitzer!

I'm quite late in commenting on this because so much else is going on, but I want to get at least one thought in on this. Wolf Blitzer invited Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, onto CNN last Friday, ostensibly to discuss her recent children’s book, Our 50 States: A Family Adventure...

Conservatives: Compassionate or Confrontational?

That’s the divide established by Michael J. Fox in remarks to an audience at Ohio State today concerning his rhubarb with Rush Limbaugh. Fox told the audience that he’d “had a run-in with a less than compassionate conservative.” The Rush and Fox show is turning out to quite enlightening on several... Sign in to see full entry.

Michael J. Fox , Rush Limbaugh and Making Criticism the Issue

Michael J. Fox was interviewed at length by George Stephanopoulos on today’s episode of This Week with George.... While I missed the first few minutes of the interview, a few points from what I did see warrant mention. Stephanopoulos claimed that Limbaugh had apologized for claiming Fox was acting...

A Journalist Explains What's Wrong with the Lamestream News Media

I've been reading a neat little book, Fly Fishing through the Midlife Crisis, by New York Times executive editor Howell Raines. It's a charming book, well written and enjoyable. Except for his occasional whining about being in Washington during the Reagan years. But one of those little whines was... Sign in to see full entry.

Rush Picks on the Sick?

That’s how the rhubarb over Michael J. Fox’s campaign ads in favor of Democrats and embryonic stem cell research is being spun. The evil, wicked, nasty and utterly heartless Grand Poobah of conservative talk radio is ridiculing Fox for having Parkinson’s disease. But did he? Let’s see what the facts...

Was a line crossed when opposing candidate said Shrillary used to be ugly?

Yes, claims the New York Daily News (see http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/464422p-390714c.html ). In case you missed it: John Spencer, Shrillary’s Republican opponent for the Senate seat that she wants to win so she can abandon it for a run at the White House in 2008, made light of her looks...

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.
