Misrepresentative Steny Hoyer Mocks Idea of Reading Bills Before Voting

House Majority Misleader Steny Hoyer summarized perfectly the dereliction of duty that infests Congress when he publicly ridiculed the idea of reading legislation before voting on it. From an article at http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=50677: “House Majority Leader Steny... Sign in to see full entry.

Should We Be Optimistic about America?

On each Independence Day since I belatedly learned to truly appreciate the day and its meaning, I’ve absorbed myself to one degree or another in thoughts on what a wonderful country this is. Each Independence Day, the road before America seemed to open wider and range further and higher. This year,... Sign in to see full entry.

Crap and Tax Legislation Passed by Sale of Votes and Liberty

A number of Misrepresentatives who voted for Crap and Tax did so because they sold their votes in order to gain favors for themselves or their districts. Each of them wanted some goody at taxpayer expense, so they would not vote for Crap and Tax unless those goodies were given to them. The process... Sign in to see full entry.

Franken Victory Gives Democrats Undisputed Control of Senate. Good!

After months of litigation, former talk show host Al Franken has been declared the winner of Minnesota’s contested Senate seat. The decision by the Minnesota Supreme Court to award him the seat gives the Democrats a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. A couple of stray thoughts on this. First,...

Four Questions You Need to Ask About . . . The Stimulus Package

In his inaugural address, President Obama made this promise: “And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account — to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day — because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their...

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.
