“[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)

 

Our next issue of the Jefferson Review will be January 9th, 2006.

“[A] government that pays for all of our health care would inevitably come to think and act as if it owns our bodies.”

 – Richard E. Ralston

An End Of The Year Wish       By Theresa Fritz Camoriano

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.   I recognize that, no matter how much formal education I have and how much additional studying I do, I never will master my own fields of expertise, let alone the many other fields of study that exist.  The world is a very complex place, and each of us can only hope to begin to understand a tiny part of it. ...         (click to read more)

Not all are fooled by myths - The Legacy of Tet       By Danny "Greasy" Belcher

History repeats itself. I was with an old Viet Cong two years ago in SE Asia. He said that they had 40,000 plus Viet Cong at the start of the war with us. When we left they had about 5,000. If you do not believe me, just go to Vietnam and ask some people. The old commies also said we had them beat after Tet and when we bombed North Vietnam. They were waiting for our government to say we won. It was over twice and no one in Washington, DC had the balls to go over and declare victory....         (click to read more)

Gun Control Measures Fail to Lower Crime Rates & Protect Citizens     By Barbara Dwyer, undergraduate, Criminal Justice

     Gun control measures do not lower crime rates or protect citizens: an armed populace lowers crime and protects citizens against arbitrary state abuse.  Nonetheless, anti-gun advocates lobby for stricter gun control measures, maintaining that firearm ownership must be restricted in order to lower crime rates. ...         (click to read more)

Senate Grinches        by Henry Lamb

America should be celebrating a wonderful Christmas gift this year – a new supply of energy. The gift was purchased years ago, it has been wrapped and is waiting for delivery. Congress has tried a number of times to give this gift to America, and each time someone has risen up to snatch it away. ...         (click to read more)

Will your kids be Christian?         By Bruce Shortt

Many evangelicals were shocked last June when Dr. Albert Mohler, the Southern Baptist Convention's leading theologian, wrote that it is now time for responsible Southern Baptists to develop an exit strategy from the public schools. But why should it have been shocking?....         (click to read more)

Do Quakers Dream of Electric Sheep? And Other Questions About Domestic Spying         By Jonathan David Morris

Last week wasn’t a good week for privacy.

On Wednesday, an NBC report revealed that the Pentagon has been actively spying on “suspicious” anti-war groups—among them, apparently, a group of Floridian Quakers (also known as the more sinister-sounding “Society of Friends"). Two days later, the New York Times unleashed a report of its own, which revealed that the National Security Agency has been monitoring the international emails and phone calls of hundreds, even thousands of Americans at any given time—the result of a secret order signed off by President Bush in 2002. ...         (click to read more)

Terry’s Tidbits    by Terry Gray

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive."  C.S. Lewis

Spying, a Necessary Evil?

          I think not.  The president said that desperate times call for desperate measures.  I am sure that every leader throughout history has felt desperation, but not all have turned to tyranny.  ...         (click to read more)

“Jesus' birth was marked by the first world tax. The Roman Empire was ready, willing and able to coerce millions of people throughout the world to battle the elements, to travel great distances, regardless of their condition, so that they could be counted and taxed. No excuses were tolerated. This was a government operation all the way. …Even back then, 2,000 years ago, government was heartless and cruel. It forced women to march long distances in the last stages of pregnancy. That's the way government has always been and that's the way it will always be – at least until Jesus comes again.” – Joseph Farah
