“[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)

Banning Softdrinks and Never Enough Money         By Theresa Fritz Camoriano

The latest target of the do-gooders is soft drinks.  They want to put warning labels on soft drinks, ban them from schools, etc., blaming them for our obesity epidemic.  As a fat person who hasn’t had a sugar-laden soft drink in many years, I find the whole business very amusing.  How can it be that I don’t drink sugary drinks, don’t eat Twinkies, bread, potatoes, and the other things that are supposed to be causing obesity, I exercise regularly, swimming one kilometer on the way to work, walking, working out at the YMCA, etc., and yet I still am fat?  I have a theory.  I think it is the do-gooders who are making me fat.          (click to read more)

The U.N.'s global land grab        By Henry Lamb

The Southern Appalachian Biosphere Reserve, or SAMAB, began in the 1970s when UNESCO recognized the 571,000-acre Great Smoky Mountains National Park as a site worthy to be included in its growing global network of Biosphere Reserves. Neither Congress, nor the legislatures of either affected state, reviewed, debated or approved the designation.           (click to read more)

Employee choice would send strong signal for economic development         By Jim Henderson

Kentucky workers are some of the most productive in the nation.

I know that our state has a lot to offer prospective employers. Our central location and access to major interstates provide convenient transportation that companies need. In addition, our rank as the state with the lowest energy costs helps keep production expenditures down.           (click to read more)

The Benefits and Costs of Academic Tenure       By D. Eric Schansberg

The nature of public policy is that the benefits are relatively obvious while the costs are relatively subtle. In identifying these subtle costs, economists often pour cold water on what otherwise seem like hot proposals or at least popular policies. When the cold water ends up on members of a special interest group, they often respond by saying that “tenured professors at state-run universities” shouldn’t criticize.           (click to read more)

The Persecuted Muslim Super Race.         By Justin Darr

All the Iraqis fighting and killing each other over the bombing of the 1,200-year-old Askariya shrine in Samarra, Iraq, should settle down and stop pushing Iraq to the brink of civil war.  After all, it was the Jews that blew up the shrine, not radical religious elements within Iraq eager to continue the 1,400-year tradition of Sunni and Shiite Muslims slaughtering each other.  At least that is what Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini say.          (click to read more)

Actually the one thing [Franklin Roosevelt] did that was based on a very definite philosophy was the program that consisted of the NRA and the AAA. This was a plan to take the whole industrial and agricultural life of the country under the wing of the government, organize it into vast farm and industrial cartels, as they were called in Germany, corporatives as they were called in Italy, and operate business and the farms under plans made and carried out under the supervision of government. This is the complete negation of [classical] liberalism. It is, in fact, the essence of fascism. — John T. Flynn
