"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) Club For Growth Commentary on Medicare Prescription Drug Bill No doubt you share our dismay at the passage of the Medicare prescription drug bill. Defeating this incredibly expensive bill that does nothing to avoid Medicare's coming bankruptcy and would cause millions of seniors to lose their private prescription drug coverage was one of our top priorities of the year at Club for Growth Advocacy.... SMOKING BANS AND COMPROMISE By Terry Gray The issue of smoking bans has taken a new turn in Louisville Kentucky, and it is a turn that every rights oriented activist should approach with caution. The Mayor, Jerry Abramson, has stated that he is opposed to smoking bans but wants a compromise. I question the Mayor’s motivation in the whole mess.... Cowboy Joe’s Lesson By Tom Preble An Arizona sun crept along its arc in a dazzling, too blue sky. The sun was keeping its daily appointment with the shed, comfortably gray and weathered from countless days of sun and occasional rain. There, leaning against the shed, as if two old friends sharing old age, stood the shovel. The shovel’s head, burgundy red with rust, seemed to long for a oneness with earth. For years there had been no digging of holes, and admitting the defeat of time, it was quietly becoming one with the soil.

Bunning's Louisville office, I am pleased to report that Mr. Smith did give me a call approximately 15 minutes after I sent that email. Evidently, my email to him did strike some nerves, and he seemed quite upset that I would report to you what was going on, or in this case what was not going on. ... "To those who cite the First Amendment as reason for excluding God from more and more of our institutions everyday; I say: The First Amendment of the Constitution was not written to protect the people of this country from religious values; it was written to protect religious values from government tyranny." --Ronald Reagan

"There's a baby coming in three weeks. Are you ready?" “The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.” --Marcus Tullius Cicero, 55 B.C.
"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt." --John Philpot Curran -- (Modern translation: If you are too lazy to defend your liberty, you will lose it.)
