National Review Online’s Andy McCarthy has raised a fascinating question: Is the NSA’s Terrorist Surveillance Program a threat, or not? When the al Qaeda Times first leaked the existence of the program in December, allegations of treason, aiding and abetting the enemy in time of war, and so forth... Sign in to see full entry.

Hey, Teach! I gotta question about national security!

If I can’t take liquids on board an airplane because a bunch of terrorists wanted to use liquids to make a bomb aboard an airplane, how come I can still buy disposable cell phones when terror suspects are buying them by the hundreds so they can take the chips out of them and use them as triggers for...

If Lieberman’s Defeat Was a Referendum on Anti-War Anger . . .

Then please explain why, out of some 697,000 registered Democrats, a measly 146,061 – 21 per cent of the total – were sufficiently honked about the Iraq War to vote against one of its supporters? Even more laughable, the lamestreamers are all agog at how 14,000 – 14,000 out of well over a million... Sign in to see full entry.

What Happened to the Hurricanes?

Last year, we were up to our ears in hurricanes, and in the hot air from liberals like Robert F. Kennedy Junior (a. k. a. “Flash” Kennedy, nephew of Splash [Ted} and cousin of Crash [Patrick]). Flash and who knows how many others were wailing that the remarkably severe hurricane season was all... Sign in to see full entry.

Have I been missing something?

Or have there been international calls for a cease-fire only in Lebanon, where Islamofascist terrorists are getting their rear ends kicked while inflicting minimal casualties of their own, and not in Iraq, where they are causing more casualties (while, by the way, getting their rear ends kicked...

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.
