Cap and Trade, Health Care and Card Check All to be Voted on Soon!

These pieces of legislation are going to be voted on very soon, perhaps as early as tomorrow (Friday the 25th). What follows is an open letter to my senators and misrepresentative concerning these fell bills: Do NOT vote “yes” for the “Cap and Trade,” “health care reform” or “Card Check” bills that...

Four Questions Old Iron Collectors Must Answer

Although the subject of this essay is specific to collectors of old machinery, the theme applies to anyone whose liberties and property rights are being jeopardized in the name of "change." I alluded to the questions posed herein in a previous posting. Mr. Brian DiPietro has for years donated... Sign in to see full entry.

The Big Hate: How Liberals Demonize Dissent

Award-winning liberal columnist Paul Krugman of the New York Times has published a notable column, in which he fulfills every liberal stereotype and fantasy of dissenters as hate-filled extremists. (The title looks like a pun on retired baseball star Frank “The Big Hurt” Thomas’ nickname.) Here are... Sign in to see full entry.

The Left’s Selective Appreciation of Foresight

Here’s one that made me scratch my head. A liberal of dear acquaintance lauds the clichéd American Indian tale of thinking actions ahead to the seventh generation, while praising everything President Obama does – including the trillion dollars a year in new deficits that will bankrupt the seventh...

Who is Being Sacrificed to Obama’s Auto Industry Agenda?

President Obama has no more idea of what constitutes a sacrifice than did an ancient priest sending victims to the altar. Just like the Mayans who gouged the beating hearts out of the chests of their victims, Obama defines sacrifice as what the unwilling are forced to surrender, rather than what is...

Price of Ga$ Up 40% Since Inauguration

Has anyone else noticed the total lack of lamestream media mention of how ga$ has gone up since the inauguration of President Obama? The exact local figure varies, of course, but in northwest Ohio I just paid $2.76 a gallon. On January 20, it was $1.71. The stuff has gone up approximately 40% in 5½... Sign in to see full entry.

Four Questions We Must All Answer

A while back, I renamed this blog, “A Distant Drum of the Coming Revolution.” It’s time for anyone who reads these musings to ask yourself some hard questions: Do you accept what is happening to your country under the statists that now controls its government? Name for yourself anything – the... Sign in to see full entry.

Should Conservatives Tone Down Criticism of Sotomayor?

Moderate “Republicans” are insisting that criticism of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor be muted, lest voters be offended. Here’s the unanswered question: Which course of action will gain or lose the most votes? Standing up for the Constitution, for judicial integrity and for conservative... Sign in to see full entry.

California voters exercise their power -- and that's the problem

That's the title of a remarkable op-ed column in the Los Angeles Times concerning California voters' audacity and foolishness in rejecting a slate of tax increases in yesterday's special elections. It takes a special kind of liberal - I will most definitely not use the politically correct label of... Sign in to see full entry.

Do Obama Approval Numbers Reflect Awareness of Issues?

Obama supporters are trumpeting his approval numbers. According to the Gallup poll, 63% of respondents approve of his job performance. The fact is, his approval numbers have scarcely changed since an initial drop of several percentage points. This latest rating is pretty much the mean between highs... 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.
