“[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)

 

“No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck.”

— Frederick Douglass 

Bullet Points        By Theresa Fritz Camoriano

·          If we want to have a stable, prosperous society, we need to respect the rule of law.  That means we need judges with integrity, who respect the plain meaning of the law and its original intent, not corrupt judges who make up the law as they go along.  If the rules of the game are constantly changing and the law can be twisted by judges to mean anything they want, then we are just another banana republic.       (click to read more)

Panther 1, People 0      by Henry Lamb

It's wrong! It's just plain wrong for the federal government to force private land owners not only to allow government panthers to roam on private property, but to let the panthers feast on the landowners' pets.

The Third Amendment forbids government from "quartering" soldiers on private property without the owner's consent; panthers, however, and other so-called "endangered species" must be quartered and fed by the landowner – without his consent.        (click to read more)

Keeping out new hospitals won't cure health-care ills: More competition, not less, would be best remedy for consumers, employees        By D. Eric Schansberg

In recent months, there has been considerable discussion about moratoriums on building hospitals in Southern Indiana. In Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties, local government officials have been listening to the competing interests of existing county-run hospitals and those who would like to enter the market for hospital services. On the surface, it's difficult to imagine why one would want to prevent a hospital from opening. A hospital is not a porn shop or a toxic waste dump. Building and operating a hospital is not much of a zoning issue; one could seemingly find a suitable place to allow a hospital to operate somewhere within a county. The best explanation is a common one in the intersection between economics and politics: no supplier enjoys competition for the goods or services it sells-- and it may find government a cooperative ally in restricting its competition.       (click to read more)

A new plan for old problems          By Jim Waters

Policymakers have undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief many times over since finally getting a budget passed at the end of the recent legislative session. However, that relief is likely to be short-lived as another round of budget discussions and the probability of a $400 million deficit looms in 2006.

Before the heat of the budget battles is upon them once again, lawmakers may want to consider some key questions:        (click to read more)

Restricting cold remedies won't remedy meth crisis            By Kenn Gividen 

There are 12,392 to 15,490 methamphetamine labs in Indiana.

Law enforcement estimates that for every meth lab discovered, another eight to 10 go undetected. Indiana police shut down 1,549 labs in 2004. Indiana's population is just over 6 million. That's one meth lab for every 387 to 484 Hoosiers.       (click to read more)

LATEST POLL: MOST ARE PRO-CHOICE ON SOCIAL SECURITY        by  Rod D. Martin, 29 April 2005 

You'd never know it listening to the mainstream media, but poll after poll shows big majorities for private Social Security accounts.  And the numbers are increasing, fast.

A month ago, pollsters found 60 percent of Americans backing private accounts, from a low of 54 percent among seniors to a high of 76 percent among those under 30.  This was in spite of an ad blitz by the AARP designed to scare seniors (and everyone else) out of their skins.       (click to read more)

Notable Nine End Condemnation of Water Company          By Jeff “Mario” Smith, Guerilla Reporter, LEFTignton, KY

The word “notable” as defined in Webster’s 1828 Dictionary, means: 1. Remarkable; worthy of notice; memorable; observable; distinguished or noted; 2. Active; industrious; careful. While these are all excellent adjectives to apply to an individual, Lexington has nine elected council members who, in concert, voted to end the communistic condemnation of our water company. We shall call them the “Notable Nine”.       (click to read more)

Amber Alert Opens Can Of Illegal Worms        by thegunnerscorner (Mike Minton)

Last Wednesday, April 20, an Amber Alert was issued out of Tompkinsville, KY, for a 16 year old girl who was said to have been dragged into a red minivan by a group of five Hispanic males. Immediately, people across Kentucky, and probably America, (myself included), began praying for the girl, and looking inside every red minivan seen on the road in hopes of recovering Janeet Quijano.        (click to read more)

Breaking Bread Amongst Heroes           By Jeff “Mario” Smith, Guerilla Reporter

Yesterday, in Georgetown, KY, I had the distinct honor of enjoying fellowship with several of my heroes, one whom I just met at this event. Most Americans rarely have the privilege and honor of being in the company of several decorated war Veterans at the same time, yet alone befriending them and sharing a patriotic moment with them. That is what I did yesterday. As much as I do these things, I never take them for granted.       (click to read more)

The Election Fraud/Illegal Immigration Connection.        By Justin Darr

Duplicity is the name of the game for America’s liberals.  It has been standard practice of the Democratic Party for decades to create a problem through poorly conceived and unrealistic legislation, decry and obstruct any attempts by Republicans to fix the problems the Democrats created as “racist,” sexist,” or any of the other myriad of “-ists” they concoct, and then when the problem is not solved, blame the Republicans for doing nothing about it.         (click to read more)

TV Turnoff Week          By Jonathan David Morris

This week, millions of Americans will—allegedly—turn off their TVs for the sake of turning off their TVs. It’s all part of an annual event called TV Turnoff Week, which urges people to get off their couches… and sit back down with a nice, quiet book. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. Perhaps not. They don’t advertise it too well on TV. Anyway, to do my part to promote literacy, I’ve compiled this here list of the top ten things about television. Feel free to read them at your own leisurely pace.        (click to read more)

"This is not about two people being nominated to be federal judges. It is about the whole role of judges in a self-governing republic. Judges who decide cases on the basis of the plain meaning of the words in the laws -- like Justices Brown and Owen -- are anathema to liberals. The courts are the last hope for enacting the liberal agenda because liberals cannot get enough votes to control Congress or most state legislatures. Unelected judges can cut the voters out of the loop and decree liberal dogma as the law of the land. Liberals don't want that stopped." --Thomas Sowell
