“[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)

 

Having my health care tied to my boss invites him to snoop into my private health issues, and if I change jobs, I lose coverage. Employer-paid health insurance isn't free. It just means we get insurance instead of higher salaries. I'd rather have the cash and buy my own insurance…But people think it's something for nothing. – John Stossel

Louisville Forum on the Role of Judges           By Theresa Fritz Camoriano

On October 24, 2006, the Louisville Federalist Society sponsored a panel discussion at Vincenzo’s restaurant, attended by about 70 attorneys and judges, including many judicial candidates.  The moderator was Barbara Perry, a senior fellow at the University of Louisville’s McConnell Center.  The panelists were John Bush, a litigator at Greenebaum Doll & McDonald, Paul Salamanca, the James and Mary Lassiter Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky, Judge Anthony Wilhoit, retired Court of Appeals Judge and currently the Executive Director of the Kentucky Legislative Ethics Commission, and Sheryl Snyder, chair of the appellate practice group at Frost Brown Todd.  All the panelists agreed that the proper role of a judge is to apply the law, not to set policy or to act as a “superlegislator”.       (click to read more)

Eliminate CON, embrace competition          By Dr. Kevin T. Kavanagh

Sixteen other states have dropped an unhealthy policy while several others are moving in that direction. Kentucky’s doctors have diagnosed the condition as being as harmful to Kentucky’s health-care system as chain-smoking is to a heart patient. Even the federal government has rejected the practice as the wrong prescription for serving citizens’ health-care needs.        (click to read more)

A Brief for Election Day         By Terry Gray 

          The Wizard of Oz it seems had no power except the power that the people believed him to have.  They believed his power because he told them so.  In the end, Dorothy and her cohorts had to take care of themselves and fix their own problems.  To cover his ineptness, the Wizard threw a lavish party and wished the petitioners well in their self-fulfilling endeavors.  Welcome to the promises of pre-election fervor.       (click to read more)

Kentucky’s Latest Stolen Valor Thief Drops out of Race for Clerk           By Jeff “Mario” Smith, Guerilla Reporter

Under siege from Veterans and Wannabe Slayers, Edward Dean Moore, Republicrat candidate for Clerk in Boone County, KY, dropped out of the race last week. It appears his 30 plus years of lies and deceit finally caught up with him. This should be a wake up call to other liars and deceivers who have said they served in combat but did not.        (click to read more)

MID-OCTOBER OBSERVATIONS         By Don Heavrin

          Seventeen of our service personnel died in Iraq yesterday. There is a civil war underway.

          I saw a veteran of the Iraqi war talking about how victory in Iraq would stabilize the middle east. If we won (whatever that means), tomorrow there would still be unrest in the middle east like there has been for hundreds of years. The difference at the present moment is that we have armed various factions who were fighting for causes that we once supported.        (click to read more)

Saving jobs: “Tariffs and quotas on imported sugar saved 2,261 jobs during the 1990s. As a result of those restrictions, the average household pays $21 more per year for sugar. The total cost, nationally, sums to $826,000 for each job saved. Trade restrictions on luggage saved 226 jobs and cost consumers $1.2 million in higher prices for each job saved. Restrictions on apparel and textiles saved 168,786 jobs at a cost of nearly $200,000 for each job saved.” – Walter Williams
