“[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)

 

"Here is the Golden Rule of sound citizenship, the first and greatest lesson in the study of politics: You get the same order of criminality from any State to which you give power to exercise it; and whatever power you give the State to do things FOR you carries with it the equivalent power to do things TO you." ---Albert Jay Nock

Christmas Is All About Freedom        By Theresa Fritz Camoriano

Jesus of Nazareth was born in a manger in a barn because of an overbearing government that forced Mary and Joseph to make a long trek so they could register to pay their taxes.   Unfortunately, governments are still overbearing parasites, and they still tax us as much as they can.  On the other hand, the birth of Jesus has made a tremendous difference.          (click here to read more)

Special-needs scholarships keep parents out of courtrooms      By Anders Edwardsson

Too many children with learning disabilities do not receive the education and services they need.

More than 30 years after Congress passed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), achieving the law’s goals of restoring parental control over children’s education and guaranteeing services for special-needs students in public schools remains elusive.          (click here to read more)

The Doctor makes a "House Call" in 1963....     My health care is making me sick        by Donna Mancini

Getting sick is high on my list of life’s biggest hassles these days! Excuse me if I am sounding like an “old fogie” when I reminisce about the “good old days;” but, I can’t help thinking back on my childhood (in the 50’s and the 60’s) when my mom and dad would call our family doctor who lived in the neighborhood.          (click here to read more)

Norm will say it because someone needs to!

I just read an article about how the Democrats plan to stop global warming. I could not believe what I read. You need to read the article for yourself at:  http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPrint.asp?Page=/Politics/archive/200607/POL20060726b.html  to see how stupid these people are or how stupid they think we are one. Probably the latter since we keep re-electing these idiots.          (click here to read more)

The 2007 General Assembly: Perils, promises and political footballs          By Caleb O. Brown

Editor’s note: This op-ed is part of a series of articles analyzing issues relating to the Kentucky General Assembly’s 2007 session.

With multiple looming fiscal crises and the likelihood of a tax cut for Kentucky’s small businesses, the Kentucky General Assembly’s 2007 session holds the possibility of both great peril and significant promise.           (click here to read more)

Why We Are a Sick Nation   or, We Must Strike at the Root           by Jeff "Mario" Smith, Guerilla Reporter

Our nation is sick because our education system, which government should not be involved with in the first place, is stealing the minds of our youth from generation to generation. This is the reason we are producing so many left wing young people, many so radical they want to destroy their own country. If we do not wrest control of the education monster from the left, we will go down hard in only a couple of generations.          (click here to read more)

Is “For Sale” Free Speech?

Arlington, Va.—Jail time or a $250 fine for a routine act of free speech?  That is what the City of Glendale, Ohio, threatened citizen Chris Pagan with for the simple act of putting a “for sale” sign in the window of his car while it was parked on the street in front of his home.          (click here to read more)

What She Really Said,     Or… Reading Between the Lines 101        By Jeff “Mario” Smith, Guerilla Reporter

In LEFTington’s Heraldo-Liberal today, there is an editorial by one Kari O’Conner, architect. Ms. O’Conner’s article has to do with what she says is the “selfish use of land”. I am not sure how Ms. O’Conner became the self-anointed goddess of selfishness, but it was entertaining to read her leftist views.          (click here to read more)

This Holiday Season Give the Gift of Freedom!        by Donna Mancini

 I am sick and tired of the  NANNY STATE!!

 I believe  We the  individuals would be much wealthier, happier,  more peaceful( read  non-violent)  if  we  were allowed to  keep our own money and run our  own lives,  instead of  the  Big  Govt Bureaucracy   that  forces us   to relinquish control of  our  life, liberty and property to the  arbitrary whims  of Lawmakers,  tyrantical majorities and Bureaucrats! Where did this  idea come from that  Individuals "are the government"  and thus the  Property of Elected officials,  merely because  we  get to  "vote" for so called " representatives"?          (click here to read more)

Hippies and Media Elitists Whine and we Lose Wars          By Jeff “Mario” Smith, Guerilla Reporter

As a Veteran, and a lowly enlisted man at that, I have, for years, stated that the only way to win a war is to fight it. You can’t fight a war in a politically correct fashion and win. It simply doesn’t work that way. 

I have often said that World War 2 was the last war we totally won, and here is how we won it. We didn’t only kill Nazis with swastikas and Japs with swords, and all of their allies. No, we killed their women and children also. Then and only then, did the Nazis and Japs give up! Read some in depth history of WWII and prove me wrong.           (click here to read more)

Terry’s Tidbits         By Terry Gray

“Why did Republicans just lose both houses of Congress? I will answer this question with another question: Why would anybody vote for conservatives who outdo their radical social counterparts on the far left?”

What Does The MSM Want You To Think Today?          By Jeff “Mario” Smith, Guerilla Reporter

My wife continues to throw money away by purchasing a daily subscription to the Lexington Herald Leader, a paper I affectionately (not) call the LEFTington Heraldo-Liberal or Herald-Misleader, take your pick. She thinks she can read it and make up her own mind about things, but she is wrong.           (click here to read more)

Terry Gray 

For My Democrat Friends:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.           (click here to read more)

"The fact is, our education system looks a lot like the U.S. auto industry in the 1970s - stuck in a flabby, inefficient, outdated production model driven by the needs of employees rather than consumers. . . . We can continue to invest enormous sums of money in this failing system -- and remain like Detroit in the 1970s, slipping further and further behind our international competitors. Or, we can put our famous American ingenuity to work and build a better system -- and become like Silicon Valley today, which is leading the world in innovation and technology."

- New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg
