Durbin apologizes . . . or does he?

In the wake of the vehement outrage generated by his comparison of the air conditioned comforts of Guantanamo to the gulags, the Nazis and Pol Pot, Senator Dick Durbin issued the following statement last night. My comments are interspersed with his, which are italicized. “More than most people, a... Sign in to see full entry.

What qualifies as a "questionable constitutional measure?"

Whining Harry Reid, in commenting on the prospect of President Bush naming John Bolton to be our ambassador to the United Nitwits in a “recess appointment” while Congress takes a long 4 th of July holiday: “ The president will have to make a decision whether he wants to send this flawed candidate to...

War, Impeachment and the National Neurosis

I heard today that at some schools kids play baseball without keeping score. Not a free-form batting practice, from the way it was reported, but an actual game without scorekeeping. Baseball without scorekeeping? How do they keep track of outs if no one keeps score? If someone doesn’t want Junior to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Perils of Inquiry and Impeachment

So Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) is leading the way for a congressional investigation of President Bush and the war in Iraq. So talk of impeachment for misleading Congress is being circulated. So what? Congress was indeed misled about certain aspects of WMDs in Iraq. So was the Bush administration. So... Sign in to see full entry.

Update: Durbin backs off, sort of, but is still completely wrong

Senator Doofus (a. k. a. Durbin) was forced to back off his remarks somewhat today when asked if he had any understanding that the 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 Cambodians massacred by Pol Pot, the 8,000,000 murdered in the Nazi death camps, and the 20,000,000 who died by starvation, shooting and who knows...

An Open Letter to Senator Dick Durbin, Who Says Gitmo equals Pol Pot

Dear Senator Durbin: Have you, sir, lost your flaming mind? What possible excuse, what possible justification can there be for remarks as asinine as these? "'On one occasion, the air conditioning had been turned down so far and the temperature was so cold in the room, that the barefooted detainee... Sign in to see full entry.

June 14th (not 17th as originally posted) is Flag Day

I AM YOUR FLAG ~By James M. Fillmore~ I am your Flag. I have been kicked, trampled, burned, and shot full of holes. I have fought battles, but I prefer the untroubled air of a world at peace. I am your Flag. I represent the freedom of humanity, and I shall fly high, thundering in silence for the... Sign in to see full entry.

So the Bush-haters want him impeached, eh?

This is the most hilarious piece of absolutely insane liberal thinking I've seen yet. The "Impeach Bush" notion is based on delusions, reinforced with fantasies and relies on an impossibility for its outcome. You can find examples of this kind of madness elsewhere on this site, such as at volaar's... Sign in to see full entry.

Iraq liberation same as the Holocaust?

Yes, according to Congressman Charles Wrangell. Aside from earning very deservedly the wrath of the Anti-Defamation League for cheapening the meaning of the Holocaust and also cheapening Iraq’s freedom and the price in blood paid for it by Iraqis, Americans, Brits and more, this utterly asinine...

What's worse: Forest fires or logging?

Logging, according to the environmental extremists. Taking a break from my reporting of liberal looniness in the political realm, I looked up some sites this afternoon on the Biscuit Fire of 2002. As a native of the northwest California coast, this fire has been of great interest to me. In terms of... 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.
