Senate’s Immigration Reform III – English is Official Language but Racist!

The Senate, in typical fashion, is trying to have it every possible way concerning making English our official language. Thursday, they approved an amendment that would do precisely that. Then, they approved another amendment calling it our “common and unifying language.” And, Senator Harry Reid... Sign in to see full entry.

Senate’s Immigration Reform II: Social Security for Committing ID Felonies

As if the idiocy of refusing to secure the borders before handing out goodies to illegals wasn’t bad enough, get a load of what else the geniuses in the Senate have come up with in the name of immigration reform: Illegals will be allowed to collect Social Security benefits from jobs held illegally...

Who to Blame for Continuing High Ga$ Price$?

Try this on for size. The House of Misrepresentatives yesterday voted down separate measures to end a twenty-five year ban on oil and natural gas drilling in our coastal waters other than the hurricane-prone western Gulf of Mexico. The continuation on natural gas drilling prohibitions was approved... Sign in to see full entry.

Liberal Senators Don’t Let Facts Stand in the Way of Theatrics

The confirmation hearings for CIA director nominee General Michael Hayden got underway today and, just as I expected, the liberals on the wonderfully oxymoronic Senate Intelligence Committee wasted no time in making fools of themselves. One of them, Senator Levin I believe, made a big to-do of... Sign in to see full entry.

Senate’s Immigration Reform: Don’t Secure the Border, Give Goodies Instead

Our wonderful Senators are trying to formulate a bill to reform our immigration policies and resolve the issue of illegal immigrants, and they are showing themselves to be as inept and incompetent as ever in the process. I’ve already discussed the astronomical number of immigrants these knuckleheads... Sign in to see full entry.

Did Phone Companies Provide Phone Records to NSA, or Not?

The US A Today story about the National Security Agency amassing a database of the numbers used in multiple millions of domestic American phone calls is starting to smell of being about phoniness rather than phones. Qwest was on record in the story as not having participated in the program, but... Sign in to see full entry.

What the President’s Speech on Immigration Didn’t Address

President Bush addressed the nation tonight on the thorny issue of illegal immigrants and the need for comprehensive immigration reform. He presented five major themes for reform: Securing our borders, by expanding the Border Patrol and giving it better equipment, and by deploying the National Guard... Sign in to see full entry.

Lies and Falsehoods About Phone Surveillance

Yesterday I included a fascinating quote from Senator Patrick “Flakey” Lahey in my discussion about the telephone call database. That remark, given in the Senate chambers while waving a copy of USA Today, is such a goldmine of lies, falsehoods and misrepresentations about the situation as to warrant...

Democrats Attack Bush’s Domestic Spying Program!

Bush’s domestic spying program has stolen another round of headlines with disclosure of the National Security Agency’s database of telephone call data. The Democrats are predictably spinning this story, which is really only a rehash of the initial NSA surveillance story. They are making it out to be... 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.
