Bush doesn't care about poor?

One of many fads among the Bush-haters is to accuse him of hating the poor, not doing enough for the poor, and so on and so forth. Not true, not a word of it. Read this compilation of facts and statistics: http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/larryelder/2005/10/13/171089.html.. The claims by the... Sign in to see full entry.

Read the story at http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051015/BREAKINGNEWS/51015023 Some choice comments: All this happened at the instigation of a... Sign in to see full entry.

Bush Teleconference With Troops Was Staged?

The supposedly pro-Bush news media was in an absolute tizzy today about an unusual incident yesterday. President Bush did a interview-type teleconference with soldiers in Iraq, and it was filmed for broadcast. What was also filmed was the rehearsal. Evidently the bright lights of the former...

Should the Supreme Court Use Foreign Law and Precedent?

During the Roberts confirmation hearings, we heard a lot about what Supreme Court justices are expected to do. The Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee were clear in their belief that a Justice is supposed to issue rulings based on the status or, more to the point, the political correctness...

Hurricane Katrina revealed the failure of conservative philosophy

“Hurricane Katrina revealed the failure of conservative philosophy; liberals need to stand up for their approach to governing.” That’s the lead of an interesting column by George Lakoff and John Halpin at www.prospect.org. It’s a lengthy piece, so I’ll hit on a few highlights. For one thing, it’s a... Sign in to see full entry.

Federal Tax Returns Prepared for You - By the IRS??

Believe it or not, word is that the IRS wants to prepare your federal tax returns! No corraboration on this gem yet, but that's what's being reported. It's called "Return-Free," but sounds more like "Common-Sense-Free" - which is hardly an innovation in government. Shall we count the ways this... Sign in to see full entry.

Kennedy, Kerry Criticize Bush Speech on War

That bastion of a strong America, that great hero of democracy, Ted Kennedy is at it again. Seems he was offended by the President’s speech on the war on terror yesterday morning. The Old Sot was offended by the President’s citation of victories against al-Qaida and disruption of their plots. Saith... Sign in to see full entry.

Al Gore and “The Strangeness of our Public Discourse”

Former vice president Gore gave quite a strange speech this morning. Here are some choice excerpts and my replies to them. “I came here today because I believe that American democracy is in grave danger. It is no longer possible to ignore the strangeness of our public discourse. I know that I am not... Sign in to see full entry.

Is DeLay prosecutor Ronnie Earle crazy, incompetent or corrupt?

Let’s count the flaws to date in the DeLay indictments: The prosecutor, Ronnie Earle, was blatantly biased and prejudiced in violation of the most fundamental ethic of his profession, thereby compromising the integrity of the entire investigation. In an with him on Austin radio station KLBJ, Mr.... Sign in to see full entry.

New DeLay Indictment a Return to Watergate?

Gee, could it be because the first indictment was so flawed and flimsy that Travis County prosecutor Ronnie Earle had to try again? Sarcasm aside, this indictment appears to be a reworking of the first. As with the first, it appears to have nothing of any substance to say about Congressman DeLay.... 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.
