“[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)

 

"It is not the business of government to make men virtuous or religious, or to preserve the fool from the consequences of his own folly. Government should be repressive no further than is necessary to secure liberty by protecting the equal rights of each from aggression on the part of others, and the moment governmental prohibitions extend beyond this line they are in danger of defeating the very ends they are intended to serve." ---Henry George

Five Questions – Please Help With The Answers     By Theresa Fritz Camoriano

I have been thinking about some questions this past week and would appreciate it if you could help me answer them.  Please e-mail your answers to me at:  Editor@JeffersonReview.com.  Thanks!

1.         If those oil companies are so powerful that they can set prices at any level they want, then why did they allow the price of gasoline to go down about fifty cents in the past week?            (click to read more)

My Name is Donna Mancini. I am a Libertarian. 

I am Running for Congress In KY's Third District. I want Limited Constitutional Government.

I believe individuals would be much happier and more prosperous, and society would be less violent if people were allowed to keep their own money and run their own lives instead of the current Big Government system that forces people to turn over their money and their life to Lawmakers and Bureaucrats, whom they have never even met!!            (click to read more)

Nationalizing industry         By David Schlosser, candidate for U.S. Congress

When we hear about a country "nationalizing" its oil production, it means the ruler of the country has decided that centuries of history and economic analysis cannot possibly apply to him.  His superior powers of leadership and reasoning will create greater wealth than the businesses that were producing the oil.            (click to read more)

Regulators gone wild          By Jefferson G. Edgens Ph.D.

Among the worst violators of Americans’ property rights are out-of-control regulators who enforce federal environmental laws. Unfortunately, our elected officials and the courts are doing little to rein in these ecological extremists.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps), along with a plethora of other federal and state agencies, have joined forces in recent decades to expand the terms of the federal Clean Water Act – particularly as it relates to property designated as wetlands – in an effort to address what they perceive as gaps in the law.             (click to read more)

Real Money, Real Taxes, and Freedom       By Gordon Francis Corbett

Specie is the raw material from which men manufacture genuine money.  It must be valuable in itself, relatively rare, and capable of returning the purchasing power the owner used to buy it.  Over the centuries, precious metals' value has proven very durable.

Gold can be made into jewelry, dental fillings, sculpture, and many other valuable things.  Today we can add usefulness in electronics.  Silver and platinum also qualify as specie because they have intrinsic value, are rare, and return equal value to their purchasers.            (click to read more)

Screwyville Teacher Burns American Flags in Middle School           By Jeff “Mario” Smith, Guerilla Reporter

According to news reports from Louisville, KY, (AKA Screwyville), and Jefferson County Public Schools Officials, a Stuart Middle School teacher named Dan Holden burned two American Flags inside a classroom in what is being called “a lesson on freedom of speech”. The writer of this article is one American who would like to give his own lesson on freedom of speech to one Dan Holden. But alas, this leech feeding at the public trough, while indoctrinating fertile young minds in the cult of secular humanism, is protected by tax dollars coercively taken from me. How ironic, and unconstitutional I might add!            (click to read more)

What good does it do me, after all, if an ever-watchful authority keeps an eye out to ensure that my pleasures will be tranquil and races ahead of me to ward off all danger, sparing me the need even to think about such things, if that authority, even as it removes the smallest thorns from my path, is also absolute master of my liberty and my life; if it monopolizes vitality and existence to such a degree that when it languishes, everything must also sleep; and when it dies, everything must also perish? — Alexis de Tocqueville
