“[State controlled] education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” – Joseph Stalin

"[I]f you serve a child a rotten hamburger in America, federal, state, and local agencies will investigate you, summon you, close you down, whatever.  But if you provide a child with a rotten education, nothing happens, except that you're liable to be given more money to do it with."

--Ronald Reagan

“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870-1924)

The Politicians Never Give Up – Arenas and Smoking Bans            By Theresa Fritz Camoriano

Now that the University of Louisville basketball team made it to the final four in the NCAA tournament, it seems to be assumed that a new basketball arena will be built for the team.  Louisville’s Mayor Abramson, the University of Louisville, and Kentucky’s Governor Fletcher all have ideas about where to build it.  Notice, they haven’t asked whether it is right to stick the taxpayers with the cost of a new arena; they just assume the taxpayers will be stuck and are squabbling about the details.  If I had known that getting to the final four would be used as justification for taking hundreds of millions of dollars from Kentucky taxpayers, I’m afraid I would have been much less enthusiastic about rooting for the home team!  .....

The Blog War           By Richard Lewis

Bloggers refer to the traditional "institutional press," that is print and broadcast media as the MSM or the "Mainstream Media". The WEB is the New Media. The MSM media corporations are exempt from state and federal election laws which restrict "free speech" and "free press" RIGHTS of all other American Citizens, as well as organizations including churches, and even the Republican and Democrat parties! .....

Quotes on Taxes

"As a taxpayer, you are required to be fully in compliance with the United States Tax Code, which is currently the size and weight of the Budweiser Clydesdales." --Dave Barry .....

Google Intruders         By Jonathan David Morris

Occasionally I put a damper on a column. What I mean is, sometimes I pick a topic because I think I’ll have fun writing about it, but then I write about it and turn it into a sermon with a compulsive need to mention “the government.” I hate when I do this. I found it hard to make fun of last year’s election, for instance, without thinking: “Oh, if only this were a laughing matter.” The problem is, I’m supposed to make a point every time I write an article. And it’s hard to make a point without reading into things. Just once, I’d like to write about something important without trying to say something important about it. Just once. Just for fun. ....

“In Cod We Trust” Brought to Leftington by Canadian Henny Penny             by Mario, Guerilla Reporter 

Last Saturday morning, in Leftington’s Hyatt Regency, Maude Barlow, a liberal activist from our socialist neighbor to the north, gave a lecture / panel discussion called “Water, The Commons and Corporate Globalization”. This was a FLOW / LUV inspired event officially sponsored by the UK Rockefeller Fellowship Program, a joint program of the UK Committee on Social Theory and the UK Appalachian Center. One could not enter the room without being asked to sign the convoluted and confusing LUV petition. This writer declined......

Judicial malpractice threatens treatment for elderly          By Bobby E. Reynolds

Elderly Kentuckians may face diminished care if judicial tactics being applied in Arizona are adopted in Kentucky.

The Arizona Supreme Court recently ruled that the austere penalties of the Copper State’s elder-abuse law apply to physicians involved in ordinary malpractice claims. The court’s ruling is the first of its kind. .....

Why Christian and atheist libertarians get along        by Kenn Gividen

I'm the most religious guy in the Libertarian Party. At least that's what my friend, Charlie, decided. I don't know if his bit of insight was meant to be a compliment or a mere observation. Either way, I suppose there are others more deserving....

 

"Social Security is simply a tax. Like all taxes, the money collected is spent immediately as general revenues to fund the federal government. The Social Security trust fund does not exist, and Social Security 'surpluses' are nothing more than an accounting ledger showing that contributions exceeded benefits paid for a given calendar year -- not that the excess was put aside. ... Allowing people to opt out of Social Security would force the federal government to admit it has been stealing money from Social Security for decades. ... No matter what politicians promise, Social Security reform will not change the fact that your money is taken from your paycheck and sent to Washington, where it will be spent." --Rep. Ron Paul
