"The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected." --Will Rogers

Statue Destroyed, Mike Tyson, Power Outages        By Theresa Fritz Camoriano          Statue Destroyed – Some young people from Louisville’s Southeast Christian Church were attending a camp in southern Indiana, where they were learning about the evils of worshiping idols.  They apparently decided that a man in the area who had a statue of the Virgin Mary on his property was worshiping an idol and decided to remedy the problem by destroying the statue, which they did.  Of course, when it was discovered that the trespassing, property-destroying vandals were from Southeast Christian Church, the church was embarrassed, reimbursed the man for his loss, and decided to teach “tolerance”.             (click to read more)

The Bluegrass Digest – Corporate Welfare, School Choice, Smoking Bans, Personal Responsibility, and Passing a State Budget

A Plan For Victory         By Gordon Francis Corbett             Here is an idea.  How could the members of the Constitution Party, the Libertarian Party, and the Right-Rebels of the Republican Party unite? 

     Originally, the Tenth Amendment gave the States a lot of latitude.  The Founders wanted to let the States compete economically and socially.           (click to read more)

Entertainment Drunk Society Flourishes in Kentucky Politics           by Jeff “Mario” Smith, Guerilla Reporter         In today’s LEFTington Heraldo-Liberal news rag, there is an AP article celebrating one George Clooney who is currently inhabiting a mansion he owns on Lake Como in Italy. These spoiled liberals in Hollyweird do have it rough, don’t they! If only they understood WHY they have the opportunities they have, thanks to those who sacrificed all so they could enjoy our God-endowed Liberty!           (click to read more)

Catholic Church Gets a Taste of Its Own Medicine        By Theresa Fritz Camoriano           The Louisville Archdiocese owns the Tonini buildings, adjacent to St. Martin of Tours, and has applied for a permit to tear down the buildings in order to make a parking lot to serve the church.  However, the city has designated the buildings as landmarks and has prohibited the church from tearing them down.  Now, the church is suing the city, saying that the city is violating the church’s right to control its property.  While my sympathies are with the church and with the rights of all property owners to control their own property, I find it amusing that the Catholic church is objecting to the government’s controlling its property, since, for many years, it has been a leader in promoting the violation of other people’s property rights.           (click to read more)

TERRY’S TIDBITS – Throwing Away Your Vote, Republican or Not, FDA, Gas Prices          By Terry Gray

Salt & Light, The Great Commission & Who's
Responsible for Educating Your Children            by E. Ray Moore, Jr., Chaplain (Lt. Col.) USAR Ret.           One of the foremost criticisms from Christians who oppose the Exodus Mandate's agenda of encouraging Christian parents to remove their children from the public education system is,  "Christian children should not be taken out of public schools because they are serving as 'salt and light' to their classmates and carrying out the Great Commission." (See Matt. 5:13-14 and Matt. 28:18-20)           (click to read more)

The North Wind and the Sun   (An old forgotten fable)             The North Wind and the Sun disputed as to which was the most powerful, and agreed that he should be declared the victor who could first strip a wayfaring man of his clothes.  The North Wind first tried his power and blew with all his might, but the keener his blasts, the closer the Traveler wrapped his cloak around him, until at last, resigning all hope of victory, the Wind called upon the Sun to see what he could do.  The Sun suddenly shone out with all his warmth.  The Traveler no sooner felt his genial rays than he took off one garment after another, and at last, fairly overcome with heat, undressed and bathed in a stream that lay in his path.            (click to read more)

Drunk With Power?          By George Baumler           As I read the local news stories about a restaurant that is in danger of being shut down because not enough food was sold compared to alcoholic beverages, I wondered would the same test be put on other businesses in the near future? Could a shoe store be closed because it sold too many purses or belts compared to footwear? Perhaps a grocery that sells too many magazines or cosmetics could have its business license revoked. Do bars and other nightspots have a right to do business in a profitable manner?            (click to read more)

Bush's victory over terror          By Henry Lamb           Neither the outcome nor the significance of this week's events in Iraq will be fully known or appreciated for a generation. One thing is certain: For the first time in recent history, there is a real possibility of reversing the rise of terrorism by Islamic fundamentalists.            (click to read more)

How do you explain how the market works?           Your daughter sits facing you in the grocery cart with a quizzical look on her face.  You have filled the cart around her with bread, eggs, meat and vegetables, when she looks up at you and asks: "Mommy, how does all this stuff get here?"  How do you explain to her that not one single person knows?             (click to read more)

Wyoming or Bust:  Boston T. Party's Q&A on Free State Wyoming           by Lady Liberty           More than 200 years ago, a group of people who had relocated from their homes to a place they hoped would prove more free were disillusioned by a government   that - though largely out of touch with the common man - continued to rule the   people unbendingly. Most tried to be reasonable and patient; but those things   having failed, a significant number of them eventually rebelled. The result   of that successful rebellion was the United States of America.           (click to read more)

Most Serious Warning Ever          In politics, one of the few things you can be certain about is, those who take away your liberty are not doing it to benefit you.
     I warn often about the government using the war as a pretext to tear up the Bill of Rights. Wars are always, among other things, the power junkie's excuse to become the tyranny he professes to be fighting.            (click to read more)

NOTHING CERTAIN BUT DEATH AND TAXES
by Rod D. Martin, 15 July 2004 

 "Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me."           (click to read more)
 

"President Bush has never said that fetal stem cells cannot be used for research.  He said 'federal money' cannot be used to fund such research.  If leading scientists believed fetal stem-cell research would prove to be so fruitful in curing Alzheimer's, why is the private money not pouring in hand over fist?  Do you realize how many billions a cure for Alzheimer's would be worth, let alone all the other cures some are claiming fetal stem-cell research would lead to?  Forget Alzheimer's -- do you know how much middle-aged men would pay for a GENUINE baldness cure?"

--Ann Coulter
