Far-Left Democrats Should Filibuster Alito!

Of course they should. It will reveal them to be even more out of touch with the majority of voters, it will expose them to be even more unreasonable and reactionary, it will cost them even more votes and power come November, and it will - if the Senate Republicans are true to their word - trigger...

Lahey and Kennedy Decry the Perils of an Imperial Presidency

Judge Alito’s nomination is being debated by the full Senate, and nothing has changed. Flakey Lahey and the Old Sot are continuing to misrepresent facts and demonstrate a willful ignorance of reality. Leading off with Flakey again: Today, he was quite insistent on asking how many terrorists have... Sign in to see full entry.

Leahy, Kennedy: Bush Expanding Powers of Government!!

In yet another round of stupefying speechifying in place of doing anything meaningful, Senators Leahy and Kennedy used their “votes” in the Senate Judiciary Committee to further demonstrate the folly of their anti-Bush positions. First, a few comments from Flakey Leahy: “The president is in the... Sign in to see full entry.

A Nation of Laws, or of Men?

I’ve seen that phrase bandied about here and there in the arguments of the FISA surveillance of terror suspects. Those of you who complain about President Bush not doing enough to prevent the September 11 attacks need to think about something. The Bush administration obeyed the laws it inherited...

Liberty vs. National Security: Was Franklin Speaking For Our Time?

The anti-war left has suddenly grown fond of Benjamin Franklin, one of our founding fathers. (I just love throwing sexist history in their faces!) In 1759, he commented in his Historical Review of Pennsylvania, “They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve... Sign in to see full entry.

Glenn Beck, FAIR and Would-be Killers in the News Media

After reflecting last night on yesterday's rant against unFAIR, I got to thinking: Is there any difference between their treatment of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh et al, and my treatment of my pet liberal targets? I try to do what Beck and Rush Limbaugh do, which is to use a mixture of evidence, logic,... Sign in to see full entry.

FAIR Throws a Fit Over New Conservative Show on CNN

Conservative talk show host Glenn Beck announced this week that he will launch a nightly one-hour program on CNN Headline News. Beck's rapid rise to talk show stardom can be attributed to his unflinching outspokenness and his edgy style. Frankly, I'm no big fan of his. Neither, it seems, are the... Sign in to see full entry.

Osama Promises Attacks, Offers Truce. Should We Accept It?

The tape played by terrorist media outlet Al Jazeera has been verified as being from Osama Bin Hidin. In it, he promises that he is preparing more attacks against America, but will offer us a truce if we will withdraw our forces and rebuild Afghanistan and Iraq. Gee, it sounds like he's been...

Shrillary Utters the P-Word at Al Sharpton’s Martin Luther King Rally

No, not “Power,” although that is surely her favorite P-word and she most likely did say it at least once in her speech. Try “Plantation.” Uttered to a black audience, this word is intended to conjure up images of slavery. A Republican doing this would have been run out of town on a rail. But not a...

So the Old Sot is concerned about Alito’s long-ago club membership?

Ted Kennedy, known lovingly here as the Old Sot, was certainly exercised about Samuel Alito’s membership in a conservative club that at one point called for an end to reverse discrimination. Never mind that it was years and years ago when Judge Alito was in college. Any violation of equality in the... 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.
