Check Out Theresa Fritz Camoriano's Blog Commentaries by:
“[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) |
"He's wrong on immigration, absolutely," [KY Rep. Geoff] Davis said of the president's stance. "And I think the people of the 4th District pretty overwhelmingly agree with me that we don't want to reward illegal behavior.”
A few thoughts –on health insurance, price gouging, immigration, and Hilary’s “all in it together” society By Theresa Camoriano 1. Health Insurance for “partners” in Kentucky - The Kentucky Attorney General has said it is a violation of the Kentucky constitution for universities to offer health insurance benefits to “partners” – unmarried adult household members with whom the employees are having sexual relations. However, he says this problem can be overcome by allowing employees to purchase insurance for anyone living in their household, not limiting it to “partners”. This situation creates a great opportunity to make our state more attractive not only to university employees but also to entrepreneurs and small businesses people from out of state.

Institute For Justice Fights To Deregulate Taxi Cartel in Minneapolis Below is George Will’s latest column, which introduces readers to IJ client Luis Paucar and his fight for economic liberty. As you may recall, last fall IJ's Minnesota chapter worked with city officials in Minneapolis to lift the cap on the number of new taxicabs allowed in the city, only to face a cartel-backed lawsuit this spring claiming a right to revenues the cartel would have received under the old system. Mr. Will does a fine job of profiling Luis, the harm resulting from government-created cartels, and the fundamental American birthright of economic liberty. Many thanks for making this work possible.

Put money in the bank by eliminating Treasurer’s Office By Jim Waters My money is on cashing out the state Treasurer’s office. This not-so-original idea seems to float up from time to time. Most recently, it came in the form of a campaign promise by Melinda Wheeler, who ran for the office in the recent primary election on a platform of abolishing it. Doing so would require changing the Kentucky Constitution. (click to read more)
There Are Fundamental Differences Between Saving and Investing! by Richard Lewis We need Social Security to offset Our System of False weights and measures! When I began paying in to Social Security our U.S. Dollar was still pegged to silver and Gold. The United States was the world’s leading manufacturer, and it was not unusual for a man or woman to retire from the same company with a pension after 25 or 30 years service. (click to read more)
How we view God inevitably determines how we view our fellow man. And how we view our fellow man determines how we will treat him. "Created in God's image" or "creature of chance"? It makes a difference. Do we worship a God who desires a relationship with His creatures, but leaves the creature morally free to enter into that relationship? Or do we worship a God who expects us to use the power of the state to coerce that relationship and to punish the infidel who is not a true believer? Do human beings really have inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? If so, where do those rights come from – God or the state? Are human beings vested with inherent dignity because they reflect the image of God, or is dignity just a construct of the human imagination? The answers to these questions have enormous implications with respect to the use and application of political power. – Ken Connor |
Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's right. Just because something is legal doesn't mean it is protected behavior. Just because something is legal doesn't mean an employer should tolerate it. – Joseph Farah
Manufacturing now accounts for a higher share of the U.S. economy than it did fifteen years ago, and for the same share of world production it enjoyed in the early 1990s. Yes, there have been manufacturing job losses, but virtually all of them have come from productivity-enhancing automation. – Lawrence Kudlow
I am not robbed by people who have more money than me. I am robbed by a government that wants to penalize my industry and give increasing portions of what I earn to people who do not emulate my principles, morals and ethics. – Cal Thomas
The defense of the right to property, then, ought not be seen as the defense of detached material objects in themselves, but of the dignity, liberty and very nature of the human person who, to allude to John Locke, has "mixed his labor with nature to produce property." – Father Robert Sirico
