A new time for choosing – Mike Pence Conservatives must dead reckon off the starting point of what we know to be true about the nature of government and we won’t lose our way: - Conservatives know that government that governs least governs best. - Conservatives know that as government expands, freedom contracts. - Conservatives know that government should never do for a man what he can and should do for himself. - And Conservatives know that societies are judged by how they deal with the most vulnerable: the unborn, the aged, the infirm and the disabled. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/MikePence/2005/09/29/158643.html

Political education In a trial that began on Monday, Sept. 26, a federal judge in Harrisburg has been called upon to decide whether intelligent design is a legitimate scientific theory. Once he has settled that controversy, perhaps he can tell us what killed the dinosaurs and whether there are civilizations on other planets. …When schools are run by the government, the details of ninth-grade biology classes, the propriety of patriotic rituals, and every other educational issue -- ranging from how to teach math and reading to the contents of vending machines -- becomes a political issue. Even when the arguments don't end up in court, they generate acrimony and resentment that could be avoided if education were entirely a private matter. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/jacobsullum/2005/09/30/158846.html

Bush’s rhetoric about race is troubling – Star Parker - Permitting himself to give credence to the notion that black poverty of recent years in New Orleans reflects racial discrimination and lack of opportunity was anything but an act of compassion toward blacks. He is either uninformed, which of course is troubling, or willing to bury truth for political ends, which is also troubling. …The truth about black poverty today, as Kay Hymowitz of the Manhattan Institute has aptly put it, is that it is "intricately intertwined with the collapse of the nuclear family in the inner city." …The collapse of the black family took off when big government programs, particularly welfare, were launched, compliments of black and white liberals, after the civil-rights movement. …Black children don't need politicians of any color who claim to hold the keys to their future. They need parents who know their names. Two of them. http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46416

Differences between left and right – Dennis Prager -- That the Left is more concerned with social change than individual change and the Right is more concerned with individual than social activism can be seen in many areas. ..Many parents, for example, measure their child's character by the child's social activism, not by his or her behavior toward fellow students. If the child has walked for AIDS, or marched for breast cancer, or works on "environmental issues," the child is deemed – and the child deems himself – a fine person. That he or she might mistreat less popular kids in class is not considered. …Judeo-Christian values have always understood that the world is made better by making people better.  http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46419

Tailpipe emission testing to end in Northern Kentucky - Four and a half years ago, when Larry Brown of Florence learned that only four counties in Kentucky had tailpipe testing and that Boone, Campbell and Kenton were three of them, he mounted a citizens' campaign against it. http://news.kypost.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050929/NEWS02/509290375/1014&template=printpicart

Moral poverty cost blacks in New Orleans -  President Bush is not to blame for the rampant immorality of blacks. Had New Orleans' black community taken action, most would have been out of harm's way. But most were too lazy, immoral and trifling to do anything productive for themselves. http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46440

Public education’s coming collapse -  Have you yet taken steps, or made plans, for your children's escape to safety at home, or within real schools founded on strong ethics and principles? If not, you may want to act soon. Every day of a child's life is precious, and every lesson learned should be parent-approved and sensitively taught.  http://www.lewrockwell.com/taylor/taylor113.html

Bluegrass Institute in dispute over access to voting records - House Speaker Jody Richards, D-Bowling Green, said this morning that a policy change is probably in the works.

"We are going to put the records on our Web site," he said. "(Sherman) has told us he's going to do that. I'm not sure just when, but very soon. I think several of us are going to insist that that be done."

Rep. Jim DeCesare, R-Bowling Green, said that he thinks electronic copies of voting records should be available on request.  http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_action=doc&p_docid=10CE80864786F8B0&p_docnum=1
