"You don't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer." ---Winston Churchill

Commentaries by:
Foundation for Economic Education Articles about the Great Depression Coast: “[State controlled] education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” – Joseph Stalin Competitive Enterprise Institute "[I]f you serve a child a rotten hamburger in America, federal, state, and local agencies will investigate you, summon you, close you down, whatever. But if you provide a child with a rotten education, nothing happens, except that you're liable to be given more money to do it with." --Ronald Reagan “Give me four
years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be
uprooted.” - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870-1924) |
When people call for government to do something, it is as if they've been befallen by amnesia and forgotten just who is running government. It's the very people whom they have labeled as thieves and crooks, liars and manipulators, hustlers and quacks. – Walter Williams
You and I Really Can (And Must) Do Something About It By Theresa Camoriano It can be very frustrating to watch our government taking us down a path that we know will impoverish the country and cause tremendous pain and suffering for many people, and we often feel that there is nothing we can do about it. However, we really can take action to change the course for the better. So, you may ask, what can we do? (click to read more)
A million or more Iranians are demonstrating against last Friday's obviously stolen election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and the world … is quiet. The world is "closely following the situation," just as it followed the situations of the Jews during the Holocaust, the Ukrainians, the Chinese under Mao, the Rwandans, the Cambodians, Tibetans, and so many others. – Dennis Prager
Audit The Fed Update John Tate, Campaign for Liberty This week, the Obama administration unveiled another scheme to give more power to an already out of control Federal Reserve under the guise of regulatory "reform." (The 85 page "plan" can be read in its entirety here.) (click to read more)
Speaking of liberal goofiness brings us inevitably to Barack Hussein Obama, as he now proudly identifies himself -- at least when he’s addressing Muslims, praising Muslims and, as usual, slandering America. By the way, isn’t it the least bit odd that he never condemns Muslims for clinging to their religion and their suicide bombs? …do you think the day will ever come when he’ll quit apologizing for America’s arrogance and apologize for his own? – Burt Prelutsky
Governor rode a dead horse By Jim Waters Kentucky’s horse racing industry faces serious challenges. The amount of activity at Churchill Downs and Ellis and Turfway parks is fading like a speedy frontrunner in a mile-and-a-half race. Purses get thinner, trainers leave for out-of-state tracks, breeding incentives dwindle and crowds do the same. (click to read more)
If it is all right to discriminate today against individuals who have done you no harm, then why was it wrong to discriminate against you in the past? These are not just abstract questions. These are serious, real-world questions, especially when considering someone to be given a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States. – Thomas Sowell
Libertarians recommend Senate defeat Koh nomination Obama nominee to negotiate treaties says U.S. must adopt "global gun control"
WASHINGTON -- America’s third largest party Tuesday recommended the Senate

Suppose a company doctored data, misrepresented study findings, replaced observations with computer simulations and hired PR flacks to promote its new “wonder drug.” News stories, congressional hearings and subpoenas would be in overdrive. Fines and jail sentences would follow. And rightly so. But the standards change when “climate catastrophe” is involved….If the congressional, administration and activist conspirators behind this massive deceit were in the private sector – peddling bogus drugs, rather than bogus science – they’d quickly become convicts. Instead of jail time, though, they’ll probably get bonus checks. – Paul Driessen
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved? If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have approved? (click to read more)
The firing of Gerald Walpin is a chilling reminder that for all of Mr. Obama's talk of change - and sponsorship of legislation that appears to provide it - many of his actions are nothing more than glorified political thuggery, providing protection to his friends and retribution to his enemies. The only question is when conduct like this catches up with him. – Bill Wilson, President of Americans for Limited Government
Wealthy liberal business owner shuts down Atlanta Tea Party Or, at least… tried to. With as many as 20,000 people in attendance, the Atlanta Tea Party on April 15 was one of the largest and most successful Tea Parties in the country. The Atlanta Tea Party on July 4, 2009 had been expected to be just as large. Unfortunately, plans have changed. Simon Property Group has forced the cancellation of the Atlanta Tea Party.

He’s taken over car companies, banks and lending institutions. He’s printed so much currency that he’s the envy of counterfeiters and con men everywhere. He’s buried the nation in so much debt that children born 40 years down the road will be greeted with a slap on the butt and a lien on future earnings. For good measure, the Community Organizer in Chief has created more czars than the Romanovs. Still, we’re told, a majority of Americans like Obama. – Burt Prelutsky

"Consultants have credibility because they are not dumb enough to work at your company." – Scott Adams (Dilbert cartoonist) [A]s North Korea defies international sanctions and sends arms to Myanmar and Iran slaughters its citizens in the streets, President Obama looks helpless and hapless. He comes across as not having a clue how to handle the crises. – Dick Morris and Eileen McGann
Thune announced his Government Ownership Exit Plan, the cornerstone of which is a July 2010 deadline for the government to pull out of private company ownership. His bill has been introduced as an amendment to a tourism bill now in the Senate.
Grievances are like flowers -- if you water them, they will grow, and self-imposed victimhood is not a recipe for happiness. – Phyllis Schlafly There is a momentum to democracy, just as there is to dictatorship, and the election returns from Lebanon indicate that the pendulum is swinging back toward a free and stable Lebanon free of foreign influences of the worst sort. – Paul Greenberg If Obama believes he can build himself up by tearing America down, he is mistaken. Cynical foreigners will view it with snickering contempt, patriotic Americans with disgust. What kind of leader is it who talks down his own country on foreign soil? – Patrick Buchanan
