“[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)

 

"A man's liberties are none the less aggressed upon because those who coerce him do so in the belief that he will be benefited."

---Herbert Spencer

Militant Islam and Us         By Theresa Fritz Camoriano

The response by militant Islamists to the political cartoons about Muhammad is teaching us a lot about their mindset.  From their point of view, the way to deal with anyone who disagrees with them is by force.  If someone insults them or their religion, or even disagrees with them, they believe they have every right to kill that person.          (click to read more)

A country headed in the wrong direction        By Henry Lamb

Nearly every week, there is a new poll released that says some percentage of the American public believes that the country is "headed in the wrong direction." The percentage number is usually more than half, which means that most of the time, most of the people agree that national policy should be changed. The problem is there is little agreement on which policies should be changed or in which direction these policies should move.          (click to read more)

Is Politics Rearing Its Ugly Head?          by Jeff "Mario" Smith, Guerilla Reporter

I am a member of a POW MIA activist organization called Task Force Omega of Kentucky. We work to educate the public about the travesty of the POW MIA abandonment that our government has allowed in all wars by simply not holding the communists accountable for anything. This issue is not a “conspiracy theory”, it is not anti-government propaganda, it is simply the truth, and the proof is out there for anyone who wishes to engage in research outside of the CFR controlled mainstream media in order to facilitate their own discovery.          (click to read more)

Cauldron of wasteful spending continues to churn         By David E. Williams

Like ghouls hungrily stirring a pot of stew, the Kentucky general assembly has already begun its 2006 chant. Soon the freshly boiled batch of pork will be thoroughly sliced, diced and distributed at the expense of every taxpayer across Kentucky.          (click to read more)

Anti-American “Americans” Are Really Getting On My Nerves         By Michael A. Minton  

First it was the nut Cindy Sheehan who started me on this roll of near-rage over fanatical so-called Americans who have recently done their very best to make the United States of America look like the bad guys on the world stage. Actually, it started with the Dixie Chicks a couple of years ago, but I am speaking of more recent history.          (click to read more)

Is seat-belt law about safety or ‘Benjamins’?         From the Bluegrass Institute

(Bowling Green, Kentucky) – The closer one listens to the chant for a stronger seat-belt law, the clearer it becomes: It’s not about safety. Rather, like Puff Daddy rants in his popular rap tune: “It’s all about the Benjamins, baby.”          (click to read more)

Congress Attempts to Kill the "Third-Party Threat"

Proposed Legislation Creates Treasury-Funded Campaigns for the Two Major Parties, Leaving Third Parties with No Means to Run

(Washington, D.C.) On February 1, congressional Democrats, led by Rep. Obey of Wisconsin, introduced a bill, H.R. 4694, that would end viable, third-party competition in races for the U.S. House of Representatives.          (click to read more)

Showdown In Greenlee County  “Today it’s me... tomorrow it’s you” Daniel Martinez          By Lee Pitts

www.paragonfoundation.org

In the wild wild west of the late 1800’s rustlers carried runnin’ irons under their saddle skirts or “doctored” brands with a red hot cinch ring held between two green branches. In the New West the rustlers don’t even bother with changing the brands.          (click to read more)

More Anti-Americanism And The “Religion Of Peace”         By Michael A. Minton  

This morning I was reading a story which further illustrates the hatred of Islam for the Americans who are doing nothing more than trying to put an end to the hatred of the Western values, which fueled the worst terrorist attack in American history. After all, it is OUR men and women who are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq to free the peoples in those countries from ruthless dictators who like nothing better than the public beheading of their own citizens if they dare step out of line and actually read a book, or for women, try to go to school.          (click to read more)

Eminent Domain – More      by Terry Gray

A right undefended is a right waived.

It seems odd to me that eminent domain has been used in insidious ways to seize property for many years in this country, and it is only now that legislators are doing something to protect and preserve American land ownership.          (click to read more)

Is This Texas Or Afghanistan…Or Iraq?        By Michael A. Minton   

I read an article, written by Phyllis Schafly, about what is happening along the Texas border.  This story scares me. We ALL need to know.

After reading Schlafly’s article, please visit numbersusa.com and get involved in the fight against illegal immigration. There is no doubt that illegals pose enough of a threat by smuggling in drugs, bogging down our educational system, leaving toxic waste in their wake, costing billions of dollars in welfare and unpaid medical expenses, etc. But now it would appear that al-Qaeda, or at least some type of terrorists, are preparing for war.          (click to read more)

For more than six hundred years-that is, since Magna Carta, in 1215 — there has been no clearer principle of English or American constitutional law, than that, in criminal cases, it is not only the right and duty of juries to judge what are the facts, what is the law, and what was the moral intent of the accused; but that it is also their right, and their primary and paramount duty, to judge the justice of the law, and to hold all laws invalid, that are, in their opinion, unjust or oppressive, and all persons guiltless in violating, or resisting the execution of, such law. — Lysander Spooner
