Scandal de Jour: NSA Has Massive Database of Americans’ Phone Calls!

Other than my occasionally-used lead, that’s exactly how USA Today wrote its headline for the newest scandal story. Quick, what was your first reaction to seeing that, assuming you had never seen or heard anything else about this? The implication is that YOUR phone is bugged, YOUR conversations are...

Democrats Out of Touch with Middle Class, According to Their Own Study

Democrats have tried for ages to make political hay on the purported death of America’s middle class. Turns out their own research shows that they are completely out of touch with the middle class, whose demise they so loudly bemoan as evidence of their “rich get richer/poor get poorer” chestnut. A... Sign in to see full entry.

Feingold: Opposing Bush More Important Than Fighting Terror?

In a speech delivered at the National Press Club yesterday, Senator Russ Feingold – fondly referred to here as the Voice of Moderation for so having dubbed himself that as he demanded censure of the Commander in Chief in time of war – made some astounding claims that indicate how far out of touch...

Democrats Consider Fall ’06 Election Already Won. But Is It?

Quick! Is Nancy Pelosi the Speaker of the House of Representatives? Tim Russert of Meet the Press and George Stephanopoulos both seem to think she is. They admitted as such during their respective news shows yesterday. These were probably Freudian slips betraying their eagerness to see their... Sign in to see full entry.

Is Bush to Blame for Lack of Clear Victory in Iraq?

From the beginning of the Iraq war, it has been fashionable in many circles to claim that the deaths and destruction in Iraq are all the fault of President Bush and his administration, especially Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Such claims are wrong. They are wrong because they do not take... Sign in to see full entry.

Limbaugh Targeted by Press for Pill Abuse, so Why Not Patrick Kennedy?

We all heard the story about Rush Limbaugh and his getting hooked on pain killers. And we all heard the smarmy snickering from the news media about it. So why hasn’t there been a similar reaction to Congressman Patrick Kennedy’s apparent substance abuse problems? Congressman “Crash” Kennedy, you may... Sign in to see full entry.

The Moussaoui Verdict and Why We may Lose the War on Terror

Is the real problem before us the terrorists who have yet to be killed or apprehended, as at least one relative of a September 11 th victim has claimed in the wake of the Moussaoui trial? I say it is something more as well. The trial proved amply the folly of fighting a war in the courts. It served... Sign in to see full entry.

21st Century Oil Companies: The Return of the Robber Barons?

House minority leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California) thinks she’s stumbled on a new rhetorical weapon in the class warfare that the liberals substitute for meaningful action on oil and ga$ prices. As quoted on Senator Harry Reid’s website at http://reid.senate.gov/record.cfm?id=255044: "We are living... Sign in to see full entry.

Hey, Democrats! Let’s Really Go After Someone for Manipulating Oil Markets!

Some bigwig, fatcat, stuffed-shirt oil tycoon? Nope – Let’s take out the Hitler wanna-be Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Islamofascist regime of Iran. Every time oil prices start to settle down, all this bigoted fanatic and his goons have to do is spew another round of his anti-Semite vows to nuke... Sign in to see full entry.

Is Rush Limbaugh a greedy, uncaring, selfish skinflnt?

Along with closing the agreement concerning the doctor shopping charge (read it slowly and aloud – one charge held in abeyance for 18 months is not in any way, shape or form an arrest like the lamestreamers claimed it was), Rush Limbaugh had another news event Friday – donating $250,000 to kick off...

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.
