Stealing:  A bridge, an election, a corporation?      By Theresa Fritz Camoriano

Bridge:  So, it is official.  The courts have determined that Louisville Waterfront Park has the right to take the big four bridge by eminent domain.  Eminent domain is a huge power and should be used only sparingly, when necessary to acquire property for building roads and the like.                 (click to read more)

Thoughts About Property Rights      By Larry Brown  

   In reading your response to tax hikers, it provoked the following thoughts on property freedom and taxes. Our founder fathers set up a limited government that protected both our real and personal property.  Our real property is under assault by the government from regulations, zoning, laws and taxation. Freedom of Property means the ability to do anything you want with your property short of harming your neighbor’s property.  Often overlooked is that, as people with economic value, we ourselves are Personal Property.         (click to read more)

Inagural speech speaks of "chapter 49" or hints chapter 11?       by Kenn Gividen,  Libertarian Writers' Bureau (http://www.writersbureau.org)

In his inaugural speech Monday, Gov. Mitch Daniels -- Indiana's 49^th governor -- referred to his new term in office as 'Chapter 49." And so, through the application of analogy, Daniels is about to pen the pages of Indiana's continuing saga. It's a book that, so far, has read more like a scary Stephen King novel than a fairy tale. Let's take a look.                 (click to read more)

Eminently outstanding    By The Bluegrass Institute

America’s Dis-Education System    by Mario, Guerilla Reporter

“America is reaping the consequences of the destruction of traditional education by the Dewey-Kilpatrick experimentalist philosophy…John Dewey, an educational philosopher, first applied his experimental philosophies in a model school at the University of Chicago prior to 1900, and they failed miserably. Even though the children learned nothing, Dewey moved on to Teacher’s College at Columbia University in 1904 where he became the most influential man in American education.                 (click to read more)

Why Liberals Love Gun Control.       by Justin Darr

If there is one thing liberals love more than banning Christianity from public schools, it is creating ineffective gun control laws.  Despite centuries of evidence that gun control laws do not reduce crime, stop violence, or make society safer in any way, liberals keep plugging away at our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.                  (click to read more)

“Better.”     By Jonathan David Morris

It’s a word we use often, but what does it mean?  (click to read more)

“Young people, by and large, just can't seem to get worked up about matters political.  That's too bad, because they might be interested in knowing that one of America's largest and most effective lobbying organizations has just declared war on them.  The AARP has now decided that it's going to fight any effort by President Bush to privatize, even partially, that debacle known as Social Security. . . . Sadly, these young Americans who are getting so royally screwed by Social Security and the AARP are far more concerned with sports, pop culture and who they're going to 'hook up" with this weekend.”
