"I am sure there was no man born marked of God above another, for none comes into the world with a saddle upon his back, neither any booted and spurred to ride him." -- Richard Rumbold (before being hanged 1679)

Christopher Columbus, Credibility, Cincinnati, and a Cure        By Theresa Fritz Camoriano        Christopher Columbus - This Columbus Day, let’s celebrate an American entrepreneur!  Like most entrepreneurs, Columbus took great risks in his quest for wealth.  While he was not completely successful and never did find an alternate route to India, he was responsible for some great achievements, not the least of which was bringing Europeans to the American continent.  Thanks to his discovery of this continent, our forefathers inherited a place in which an experiment in freedom and self-government would be tested.  As one of the millions of beneficiaries of that experiment, I am very thankful for the efforts of Columbus and of other entrepreneurs who followed him across the ocean in search of fortune and freedom.           (Click to Read More)

A Smoking Ban        By Guillermo Camoriano         A smoking ban has been passed by some cities and is now being studied here in Louisville.  The ban is being pitched as a “rights of non-smokers” issue and as a health issue.  Claims that it is an economic issue are dismissed, stating that the smoking ban will have an insignificant impact on the area’s economy.  I very much disagree with this dismissal, having been there, done that!           (Click to Read More)

Hawpe's logic         By George Baumler          The 10/08/03 verbose column by comrade Hawpe, citing the lack of logic by those evil republicans, begs a peek into his own suspect logic.  Not even the Orwellian denizens of Animal Farm could bray such nonsense as espoused by ultra partisan Hawpe.  His circumlocutious dribble could be more succinctly written: "Democrats good, Republicans bad!"           (Click to Read More)

Terry's Tidbits        by Terry Gray

NOT ALL 911 HEROES ARE PEOPLE ~ ~ ~        James Crane worked on the 101st of Tower 1 of the World Trade Center. He is blind so he has a golden retriever named Daisy. After the plane hit 20 stories below, James knew that he was doomed, so he let Daisy go, out of an act of love. She darted away into the darkened hallway. Choking on the fumes of the jet fuel and the smoke James was just waiting to die. About 30 minutes later, Daisy comes back along with James' boss, who Daisy just happened to pick up on floor 112.            (Click to Read More)

The Right to Self-Defense         by Mike Straw          The Founders of the united States, the moneyed, privileged elite of the era, put, not their own interests first, as greedy politicians have done since, but rather, in sacrifice, put their new nation, and the liberty of its lowliest inhabitants, first.           (Click to Read More)

 

Birthplace of William Howard Taft, U.S. President and Supreme Court Justice

"A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy.  While the people are virtuous they cannot be
subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader." --Samuel Adams

Free State Project

"They are voting whether to keep a governor two years or four.  I think a good, honest governor should get four years, and the
others life." --Will Rogers

"'Status quo,' you know, that is Latin for 'the mess we're
in.'" --Ronald Reagan
