Liberals want Supreme Court nominees to ignore law and ethics

Congressional liberals are reacting to the O’Connor retirement with fully predictable silliness. Two examples each of group and individual foolishness. First, we have Biden and others saying they will grill whoever Bush nominates to replace her as to his or her stance on the sacred talismans of... Sign in to see full entry.

I am proud to be an American

Today, July 4 th, 2005, marks the 229 th anniversary of the founding of the Untied States of America. As is every day, today is a day for Americans to take pride in themselves and their country. Over the past three years, it has again become fashionable for America to be scorned and hated. A war... Sign in to see full entry.

Is this support for the troops?

My younger stepson was discharged from the Air Force to pursue his Masters degree, on the understanding that while in school he will be a reservist and that upon graduation he will reenlist as an officer. Well and good. But he has had nothing but problems with red tape and bureaucratic delays since... Sign in to see full entry.

Should Justice O'Connor's replacement be another moderate as demanded?

Justice Sandra Day O'Connor announced her retirement from the Supreme Court today. First, my congratulations to a woman of great achievement at the conclusion of a distinguished career. While I have not always agreed with her, she truly has gone where no woman has gone before. Too bad the National... Sign in to see full entry.

Should Bush have cited September 11th or not?

I went into this at some length yesterday, but I want to look at it from the persepctive of the Democrat and liberal response to his remarks. Apparently there is great wailing and gnashing of teeth in the land that he dared mention September 11th - not just once, but five or six (depending on who's... Sign in to see full entry.

Why Americans don’t know the truth about the war

President Bush addressed the nation tonight from Fort Bragg, North Carolina. After careful coaching in the pages of the New York Times from Senator Kerry, he did indeed do what Kerry urged him to do: He told the truth. No surprise there, really. He has told the truth about the war from the start,... Sign in to see full entry.

Say it ain't so - Time interviews a suicide bomber and lets him go?

Time magazine is running an interview with a suicide bomber in Iraq, a man who vowed to kill as many Americans as he can, and they let him go. The interview, published this week under the title, "Inside the Mind of a Iraqi Suicide Bomber," is available on line at... Sign in to see full entry.

Should Karl Rove apologize for remarks about liberal reaction to 9/11?

What did he say that has people in such an uproar? Just this: "In the wake of 9/11, conservatives believed it was time to unleash the might and power of the United States military against the Taliban; in the wake of 9/11 liberals believed it was time to submit a petition." Rove continued: "I am not... Sign in to see full entry.

More thoughts on the new twist on eminent domain

The Kelo ruling demonstrates precisely why filibustering of judicial nominees must be stopped. This travesty of the Fifth Amendment is only a prelude of what we can expect if more judges like justices Stevens, Breyer and company are named to the federal courts. Such judges don't care what the... Sign in to see full entry.

Kiss your house goodbye if big business wants to develop your property!

The Supreme Court has done any with a critical provision of the Fifth Amendment. According to a ruling handed down this morning, municipalities now have the right to seize your – yes, your – home if they think they can get more property tax dollars out of private development on what is now your...

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.
