- Hal Heiner’s first campaign ad for Louisville mayor
- It’s a good thing President Obama isn’t in the private sector.

- Rand Paul endorsed by Northern Kentucky Right to Life
- If one person has a right to something he did not earn, of necessity it requires that another person not have a right to something that he did earn….

- You can call it a stimulus, if you want to, just as you can call a tail a leg. But the actual effect of what is called a “stimulus” has been more like that of a sedative. …Anti-business rhetoric and anti-business policies did not create business confidence then [during the Great Depression], any more than it does now. Economists have estimated that the New Deal prolonged the depression by several years. – Thomas Sowell

God help us. – Dr. Marvin Folkertsma

And in America President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are saying we need to paddle faster to catch up with the Greeks and Germans. What could go wrong? – Mark Steyn
- Thank you Senator Bunning for standing up for fiscal responsibility — (read more)
- Government is supposed to facilitate (not dictate) — and to do so quietly and unobtrusively. A good example of the “accentuate-the-positive” school of governance is found in Rep. Paul Ryan’s “Roadmap for America’s Future 2.0“. It’s full of principled common sense ideas for transforming government into a respected servant of the people. – by Ernest S. Christian and Gary A. Robbins

- Figures Can’t Lie, but Liars Can Figure –By Jeff “Mario” Smith, Guerilla Reporter –Elaborating on the period from 1933 – 1937, with regard to Nazi Party control of the press, radio, and films, William L. Shirer, author of “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”, wrote “…a steady diet over the years of falsifications and distortions made a certain impression on one’s mind and often misled it.
