Highway Robbery – Using Our Gasoline Taxes for “Smart Growth” Propaganda      By Theresa Fritz Camoriano      Have you heard the ads that are being run by the Kentucky Dept. of Transportation and funded by your federal highway tax dollars?  They are propaganda for the “smart growth” agenda.  In case you don’t already know what the “smart growth” agenda is, it is an agenda to put greater government controls on land use in order to prevent or greatly limit development outside of urban areas.         (Click to Read More)

PLEASA Dear Government, Leave my PIZZA  alone.       By Donna Mancini      I am upset with the  Courier- Journal,  but not for the usual reasons........  I am not griping or complaining about liberal media bias or  editorializing  in the news.

Allen Quist – Challenging The New Federal Curriculum       By Theresa Fritz Camoriano        Another interesting speaker at the Freedom 21 Conference was Allen Quist, who is a Professor of Political Science at Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, Minnesota.  Professor Quist served three terms in the Minnesota House of Representatives, played an important role in legalizing home schooling in Minnesota, and has written a book Fed Ed:  The New Federal Curriculum and How It’s Enforced.           (Click to Read More)

Camel Emissions Testing Program        By Thomas Crane         The Auto Emissions Testing Program is just another scheme designed by the Have's to pick on the Have Not's.  All that it does is "Plunder the Poor."  Now that the United States has liberated Iraq from the clutches of that tyrannical dictator, Saddam Hussein, I'll bet that the EPA can hardly wait to go over there and subject the poor camel drivers to having their camels tested for excessive flatulence emissions.  It is thought by many that excessive camel flatulence causes hiccups, which can prove deadly for Arabian sword swallowers.           (Click to Read More)

Money – Honest and Dishonest         By Claude Bohn         A few weeks back, frequent JeffersonReview.com commentator, Terry Gray wrote regarding the subject of economy. I found his comments thought provoking, and I considered responding to those comments in an article of my own but, as Jackson Brown sang, I was too busy “struggling for the legal tender”; and, so, I didn’t. At least, that is, until now.         (Click to Read More)

DEFINING SPECIAL INTEREST        By Nad Blather        The media and politicians have pounded the public with news and commentary about special interest and excess money spent in our federal elections. But the media has never focused public attention on where that excess special interest money is spent!         (Click to Read More)

SMOKING       By Terry Gray          Taxing smoking to keep it out of the hands of kids is the most backward ideology that I have ever heard of.  Not only that, it sets a dangerous trend.  What if someone decides that Toyota cars are a hazard to our society and pushes for a tax to raise the price out of the budgets of most Americans?  Using economic pressures to control a society is ludicrous.          (Click to Read More)

Margaret Thatcher on Charity and World View        "I believe that by taking together these key elements from the Old and New Testaments, we gain a view of the universe, a proper attitude to work and principles to shape economic and social life. We are told we must work and use our talents to create wealth. 'If a man will not work he shall not eat,' wrote St. Paul to the Thessalonians.         (Click to Read More)
