Feingold, The Voice of Moderation, Defends Proposed Censure of Bush

Long-time readers know that I fondly bestow nicknames on certain prominent liberal Democrats. (One reader called it “name-calling,” before she engaged in some pretty fiery name-calling of her own concerning President Bush.) Along with Ted Kennedy as the Old Sot, we have Whining Harry Reid, Barbara... Sign in to see full entry.

The New York Sun reported today that former president Clinton is saying his involvement in the failed Dubai Ports World port services deal was confined to a single phone call from a DP World official and that he advised the company against pursuing the deal. The article makes the following... Sign in to see full entry.

Feingold Refuses to Debate Resolution to Censure Bush, Leaves Instead!

Yesterday, you will recall, Senator Feingold introduced a resolution calling for the censure of President Bush over the NSA surveillance of telecommunications to known and suspected terrorists abroad. And the left got all aflutter over it. “At last,” I can imagine the typical Bush-hating liberal... Sign in to see full entry.

Senate to Censure Bush for NSA Surveillance and Lying About It?

Senator Russ Feingold (D-Wisconsin) introduced a resolution in the Senate to censure President Bush. After a long list of “whereas” statements, the heart of the resolution reads as follows: “ Resolved, that the United States Senate does hereby censure George W. Bush, president, and does condemn his... Sign in to see full entry.

Poll: Americans Think Iraq Civil War Inevitable, Bush Likeable and Smart

According to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll taken this past week, a large majority of Americans believe that Iraq is headed for civil war, and the lamestream news media has been all over it. Further proof that war was wrong, Bush was wrong, Bush is an idiot, Bush is weak, we should all hate Bush,... Sign in to see full entry.

Scandal du Jour: Bush Rigged Deal's Collapse, to Blame for Anti-Arab Fears!

President Bush took the wrong approach in my opinion by drawing a line in the sand when he promised to use his first-ever veto on legislation blocking Dubai Ports World from acquiring Peninsular & Orient’s container handling and stevedore services at American ports. Congress stampeded over the line,... Sign in to see full entry.

Port Services Deal Dies, Bush Signs Patriot Act Extension

Quite the interesting day today in Washington (fondly known as the “logic-free zone” by a recent escapee who now hosts a local radio show). Facing an increasingly acrimonious Congress, Dubai Ports World announced today that it is not interested in Peninsular & Orient’s US contracts. I don’t know if... Sign in to see full entry.

Riding the Ga$ Price Rollercoaster

Was it just us lucky souls in northwest Ohio, or did anyone else get a 25-cent-plus spike in ga$oline prices yesterday? Just what the land of the highest stateside prices for natural ga$ needed. I listened to the news, in hopes of hearing some explanation, of hearing the latest excuse for price... Sign in to see full entry.

Who Do You Believe About the War in Iraq, and Why?

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Peter Pace appeared on Meet the Press with Tim Russert. When asked, “ If you were to be asked whether things in Iraq are going well or badly, what would you say? How would you answer?" General Pace answered as follows: “I’d say they're going well. I wouldn't put a... Sign in to see full entry.

Explaining the Modern Liberal’s Selective Tolerance of Evil

I have noticed for years that liberals of this day and age are quite selective in their outrage, directing it only at certain targets while completely ignoring – or even justifying – it elsewhere. This afternoon, I came across as profound an explanation of this phenomenon as I am ever likely to see.... 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.
