Murtha: US Presence in Iraq Graver Threat than Iran or North Korea

What I wrote Saturday about Democrats being engaged in a contest from hell to make the most asinine Statements about the war in Iraq seems to be holding true. Misrepresentative Jack “Crimebuster” Murtha (D-Pennsylvania) is the newest contestant. The Crimebuster’s publicity-hogging charge that... Sign in to see full entry.

Screamin’ Howard: Troops Must Be Protected from Bush?

Is there some sort of contest among Democrats to see who can exhibit the most severe degree of idiocy about the military, warfare and recent history? There must be. These men and women must be vying for some sort of prize, some award that is known only to them. Nothing else within the realms of... Sign in to see full entry.

You must Believe in Global Warming, or You don’t Love your Kids!

That, in paraphrase, is the astounding claim made by good reader Xenox in response to one of my beatdowns of global warming arguments. To quote the punch line of the comment, which appears at http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Comments.aspx/380373#c1486701: “My question has been -- do we really want to...

Schumer: Cuts to NYC Anti-Terror Funding Misguided – But He Voted for Cuts!

Back on June 6, I chided Senator Charles Schumer, whom I have affectionately dubbed Softschumer, for his “loud and long” complaining about the cut in Department of Homeland Security anti-terrorism grants for New York City after he and fellow New York senator Shrillary Clinton voted last December for...

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.
