"[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)

 

"An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens....There has never been a moment of my life in which I should have relinquished for it the enjoyments of my family, my farm, my friends & books." -- Thomas Jefferson

Judo and Freedom         By Gordon Francis Corbett

Judo lets someone employ an opponent's strength against him.  The Reds leading Russia and China are expert at economic judo.  For almost the entire length of the nearly two decades during which we have funnelled economic strength into those two behemoths, they have been sending that strength into client-states whose positions and products give them prominence in their respective regions, and whose leaders' allegiance is for sale.        (click to read more)

Narrow-minded policy offers fatal imbalance

State officials showcase a fatal imbalance in their economic-development approach by focusing most of their energy on offering tax incentives to lure alternative-fuel companies to Kentucky.

While politicians love the “photo-ops” provided by such tax-incentive announcements, chief executive officers have loftier concerns.         (click to read more)

The Operating Philosophy of Jack Conway:   Casinos Win, Kentucky Loses

Rep. Stan Lee, Republican candidate for Attorney General, today (7/23/07) released the following statement:

 On Friday, July 20, 2007, the Louisville Courier-Journal did a story on the "operating philosophy of the casino industry."  Simply put, they win, hardworking Kentuckians lose.  In the article, the Courier-Journal examined the latest scandal at Caesars Indiana and how the "slot machines are rigged by design" and are "programmed to make the casino the overall winner."        (click to read more)

"Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals---that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government---that it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government." ---Ayn Rand
