“[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)

 

Lofty talk about "social justice" or "fairness" boils down to greatly expanded powers for politicians, since those pretty words have no concrete definition. They are a blank check for creating disparities in power that dwarf disparities in income -- and are far more dangerous.  – Thomas Sowell

My Wish For Everyone In 2007 – A Large Dose of Humility and a Happy New Year!       By Theresa Fritz Camoriano

A couple of days ago, I was behind a car with a bumper sticker that said, “A Town In Texas Has Lost Its Idiot” and included a caricature of President Bush.  I am sure the person driving that car thinks he (or she) is very smart, certainly smarter than the President of the United States, whom he considers to be an idiot, and no doubt smarter than most of the rest of his fellow citizens.  But why?  What gives that person such cocky self-assurance?       (click to read more)

Remodeling Kentucky’s prevailing-wage policy     Streamlined rate-determination process, fair survey system could close wage gaps, encourage more employer participation and lower cost of public construction          By Paul S. Kersey

The statute defines the prevailing wage as the hourly amount, including base pay and fringe benefits, received by a majority of workers in the area where public projects, including schools, are being built. However, a lack of sufficient data that accurately reflects local communities’ wages, along with methods used by the Kentucky Labor Cabinet to determine prevailing-wage rates, result in artificially high pay scales that add millions of dollars to public-construction costs.        (click to read more)

Reading Between the Lines 101, v2          By Jeff “Mario” Smith, Guerilla Reporter

The following is an angry commentary by the Guerilla Reporter concerning the big brother seat belt law recently thrust upon the citizens of the Commonwealth.

Something not to laugh about (Source not confirmed)

If they know of him at all, many folks think Ben Stein is just a quirky actor/comedian who talks in a monotone. He's also a very intelligent attorney who knows how to put ideas and words together in such a way as to sway juries and make people think clearly.       (click to read more)

There are lots of lies surrounding the Global Warming mantra. The biggest one claims there is “consensus” among scientists that human-caused global warming is a fact. There is no such consensus. Human survival demands that we listen to the “Skeptics” before they are burned at the stake by supersitious brutes like Jay Rockefeller and Olympia Snowe. – Tom DeWeese
