“[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)

May Day!  May Day!       By Theresa Fritz Camoriano

As millions of illegal immigrants use this year’s May 1^st socialist holiday to boycott U.S. businesses and demand amnesty, thanks to the “leadership” of the Hispanic versions of Jesse Jackson, it is time for us to step back and reassess our situation.  Over our history, the United States has been able to assimilate people from a wide range of backgrounds because we have widely accepted the concepts of individual liberty, individual responsibility, respect for private property, and the rule of law.  Unfortunately, the current influx of illegal immigrants is turning these unifying principles on their heads – ignoring the law and demanding enslavement of the taxpayers in order to provide “free” schooling, “free” medical care, and other “free” services to people who are in the country illegally. Americans are very tolerant people, but if we are so tolerant that we are willing to tolerate a total disrespect of our laws and to discard individual liberty and individual responsibility, we are in big trouble.         (click to read more)

MAY DAY        By Rod D. Martin, 1 May 2006

You would have never heard of Karl Marx had it not been for V.I. Lenin. Marx was neither terribly successful nor terribly important in his own right, and had it not been for a revolution carried out three decades after his death, he would be a footnote at best.

But on this May Day, the high holy day of Communism and Socialism, it is important that we remember.         (click to read more)

Will $3 gasoline be enough?       By Henry Lamb

A $60 fill-up is certainly enough to get fingers of blame pointing in every direction: Democrats blame Bush; pundits blame "Big Oil"; and consumers blame the powers that be. The real cause of the ridiculously high gasoline prices is generally ignored.          (click to read more)

Who Cares?       By John Riley

Try to read the Bill below.  Is there any wonder government works (or doesn't) the way it should on behalf of the citizens as it was intended to?  WHY? Very few average citizens even care, THAT'S WHY!

Very few citizens know what is going on in their LOCAL government, much less in their state capitals or Washington!!  As a result, it only gets worse from here on out.  Policy decisions are more and more convoluted and common sense is nearly non-existent!         (click to read more)

A War on Iran is a War on America       By Jonathan David Morris

Should I consider it weird how none of my friends have ever joined the army?

In and of itself, I suppose this feat is nothing exceptional. I know lots of people who’ve never done lots of things. Like racecar driving or becoming an astronaut.          (click to read more)

For my own part, I believe that our Constitution, with its absolute guarantees of individual rights, is the best hope for the aspirations of freedom which men share everywhere. I cannot agree with those who think of the Bill of Rights as an 18th Century straitjacket, unsuited for this age. It is old but not all old things are bad. The evils it guards against are not only old, they are with us now, they exist today .... — Supreme Court Justice Hugo L. Black
