“[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)

 

"Politicians are always interested in people. Not that this is always a virtue. Fleas are interested in dogs."

-- Humorist P.J. O'Rourke

A report card for Islam        By Henry Lamb

Years ago, elementary school children brought home report cards that contained a graded item called "Works and plays well with others." A "U" for Unsatisfactory on this graded item often resulted in the same consequence as an "F" in an academic subject. The Islamic world has certainly earned a "U" for their response in recent days to the cartoons published in the Danish press.           (click to read more)

Islam’s Low Intensity Terrorism.         By Justin Darr

Islam is like the neighbor everyone has that people say “is alright once you get to know him.” However, the more you “get to know him,” the more it seems that your first impression was correct.  A jerk is a jerk.  No matter how many times you see the guy place his trash cans neatly at the end of the drive on time for the Tuesday pick up, the silent aggressive stares let you know that this guy has something dysfunctional going on that sooner or later will erupt into big problems.          (click to read more)

Too many Kentucky schools shooting blanks         By Jim Waters

By looking at issues from different angles, intellectually honest people often reach a variety of legitimate conclusions. However, there are times when truth emerges – no matter the perspective. Such is the case when it comes to the impact of money on the performance of the commonwealth’s schools.          (click to read more)

This Is Low..Even For Liberals         By Michael A. Minton
 
Let me begin by saying that I am sorry to have been away for so long. I have missed the chance to release my frustration over the loony left, and to educate as many as possible in the school of “Right Opinion.” It is good to be back!          (click to read more)

I REMEMBER “CACTUS” TOM BROOKS        by Deanne Lykins 

When I was little, I watched a local children’s birthday TV show on WHAS-TV in Louisville, Ky called T-BAR-V.  Randy Atcher was the singing star of the show, and “Cactus” was his bumbling, scraggly, hayseed looking sidekick.  Cactus was my favorite.  He would come down some stairs with the birthday cake all the while pretending to stumble as all the children were screaming in the background afraid that he would fall down with the cake.  Somehow, he would manage to save the cake and the day.          (click to read more)

What In The Name Of muhammed?            By Michael A. Minton  

You may have the impression that I do not know that muhammed is supposed to be capitalized, but you would be wrong. And ordinarily I would use a capital “M” when writing about the supposed prophet, but I am not. You may wonder why, and there are a couple of reasons.           (click to read more)

Terry’s Tidbits         by Terry Gray 

“Naturally the common people don’t want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a parliament or a communist dictatorship.  Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.  This is easy.          (click to read more)

"When the U.S. Constitution was written, Yale and Harvard were still little Christian colleges, not yet big universities; Benjamin Franklin was puttering with electricity, which nobody foresaw would transform home life, communication, and everything else; air travel was hardly even a dream; modern weapons of mass murder weren't even imagined; and the first version of King Kong hadn't yet been filmed. How could this quaint document have relevance to our world today? A fair question. Without treating it as Holy Writ, we can recognize that it embodied a sound principle:  the division of power. Like an even older and quainter document, the Magna Carta, its distant ancestor, it recognized the danger of concentrating arbitrary power in the hands of too few men, especially one man. The narrow specifics differ, which is why each generation's passions sound quaint to the next; but the principle is always the same." ---Joseph Sobran
