Raise taxes to pay for reconstruction!

So Bubba Clinton has put his own twist on his mission to help raise funds for the Katrina reconstruction.

Up to $60,000,000 in FEMA emergency preparedness funds are unaccounted for. The funds, designated for emergency preparedness in Louisiana, were never expended for that.

How to pay for the President’s rebuilding program

Thursday night, President Bush proposed an enormous program for rebuilding New Orleans and the rest of the region ravaged by Hurricane Katrina.

Sheehan, other liberals comment on Bush rebuilding speech

Up first: Cindy Sheehan’s “must-read” posting at Michael Moore’s website (see http://www.michaelmoore.com/mustread/index.php?id=503 ). She may or may not have been responding directly to the President’s speech, but as this was posted the day following, I will assume so. She does offer some very... Sign in to see full entry.

Bush Takes Responsibility for Katrina Problems!

President Bush has taken responsibility for the problems in the government response to Hurricane Katrina. I know the liberals are spinning this like mad, to make it say that he admitted to screwing up, he should take responsibilties for all his other screwups, and so forth. Not so. Quoting from the...

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.
