How did your Kentucky Legislator Vote? Commentaries by:
“[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) |
“Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.” — Ronald Reagan
Three Tips For Some Honest Debate By Theresa Fritz Camoriano In a democracy, it is very important that citizens base their views and their votes on reality, on facts, and on the truth. Unfortunately, the truth can be very hard to find amid the lying, smearing, and shouting. Many people are so swept away by emotions, wishful thinking, and the idea of “my team right or wrong” that they are not demanding proof or a statement of the facts. This is a very dangerous situation, because people whose views are not solidly grounded in the truth can be swayed very easily and can become like a lynch mob or a bunch of lemmings running off a cliff.

What is Veterans Day? By Jeff “Mario” Smith, Guerilla Reporter November 8, 2005 November 11th, a day on our calendars that is marked “Veterans Day” clearly should be one of the most revered days that we, as Americans, celebrate. Certainly, it carries more weight than a day celebrating the life of one man, or a day that celebrates a pagan ritual called Halloween, or a day that men are coercively obligated to buy a box of heart shaped chocolates for their “sweethearts”, but does it?

Dr. Albert Mohler Urges Southern Baptists To Develop Exit Strategy From Public Schools COLUMBIA, SC, Nov. 7 When Dr. Voddie Baucham and Bruce N. Shortt first presented their resolution to the SBC's 2005 Annual Meeting urging Southern Baptists to investigate whether their school districts are collaborating with homosexual activists, Baucham and Shortt didn't foresee that the 2005 Annual Meeting would unanimously pass a resolution substantially similar to theirs or that it would inspire Baptist leaders in conventions covering at least 28 states to introduce similar resolutions. They also didn't expect that Dr. Albert Mohler, the SBC's leading theologian, would publicly state in response to the issues raised by the Baucham-Shortt resolution that it is now time for responsible Southern Baptists to develop an exit strategy from the public schools.

A rising tide that lifts all boats (from The Bluegrass Institute)Fears that school choice negatively affect public schools “ … aren’t merely overblown,” says Harvard economics professor Caroline Hoxby. “They’re simply wrong.” A favorite mantra of those opposed to educational liberty has become that school choice “skims” badly needed funds and the best students and thus reduces the chance for public schools to succeed. Not true. In fact, the research says it’s just the opposite. (click to read more)
Democrats' double standard on leaks By Henry Lamb Chicago Sun Times columnist Robert Novak, said: Wilson never worked for the CIA, but his wife, Valerie Plame, is an Agency operative on weapons of mass destruction. Two senior administration officials told me Wilson's wife suggested sending him to Niger to investigate the Italian report. (click to read more)
AMVETS Post 124 in Maysville KY Treats Local Vets to Memorial Trip by Jeff "Mario" Smith, Guerilla Reporter No matter which direction you enter Maysville, KY, the "Gateway To The South", you will see the POW MIA Flag flying below Old Glory. I know a lot about Maysville as I went to Junior High, High School, and entered the service from that patriotic little town on the Ohio River. It is a good town with good people that care.

Ten Great Reasons Why Kentucky Children Deserve School Choice
Dedication of the Wall of Honor by Dan "Danno" Dunnum, Second Brigade MC, Kentucky Lawrenceburg, KY November 6, 2005 My wife Pat, my Brother Hoss of the Viet Nam Vets MC spent the afternoon in dedication of the veterans memorial in Lawrenceburg Kentucky today. We were not alone by any stretch of the imagination. There were at least 300 people in attendance. All of us were there to honor those that have served to keep our nation free. (click to read more)
Imminently concerned: A local view of eminent domain By Jim Waters Introduction Eminent domain is becoming an abusive power that should be restrained to perpetuate a civil society founded on voluntary exchange. Our nation’s founding fathers believed not only in limiting the taking of private property for “public use,” but also in the vigorous protection of private-property rights, which they considered sacred. John Adams said: “The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the law of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence.” (click to read more)
The Truth About Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction From The Federalist Patriot On the heels of the "White House -- CIA leak" investigation, which concluded that no laws were broken (but charged one administration staffer with perjury), liberals are attempting to parlay that non-starter into a much bigger political brawl. Their charges have no substance, and are completely contrived to keep Republicans off balance through next year's midterm elections. (click to read more)
A Strange Land By Andrea CamorianoChapter 03Two hours after takeoff, Andwan was starting to have grave doubts about the reliability of Hannon’s sources. She’d been flying due south nonstop since takeoff, and she had seen nothing that even remotely resembled a settlement, overgrown ancient ruins, or anything else that might’ve been man-made, even so much as an abandoned campsite! And she had enough archeological training to know what to look for in order to recognize such things from the sky – it was a mandatory part of her education! (click to read more)
"I find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution, and I do not believe that the power and the duty of the General Government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit... The friendliness and charity of our countrymen can always be relied upon to relieve their fellow citizens in misfortune. This has been repeatedly and quite lately demonstrated. Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood." ---President Grover Cleveland

“The only fact in the entire global-warming debate that is indisputable, is the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide over the last century. The only proven consequence of this increase is the enhanced growth of nearly all vegetation. Carbon dioxide acts as a fertilizer to almost all known species of vegetation. Virtually all of the negative consequences attributed to increased carbon dioxide are the result of computer models, and speculation.” – Henry Lamb
"Let's face it, as long as we're spending money on Bridges to Nowhere, trying to portray ourselves as fiscal conservatives is like Alan Alda trying to portray himself as a Republican on The West Wing. It's entertaining, but it's not very believable." - Rep. Jeff Flake, Arizona Republican
“For the Left, …law is the highest good; for the Right, especially the Judeo-Christian Right, morality is higher than law…. Of course, such a belief has dangers. But the greater danger is thinking that law embodies morality. " ---Dennis Prager
