"You don't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer." ---Winston Churchill

“[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) |
In the Middle Ages, medieval rulers took about 20 percent of their serfs’ produce. Our government now taxes us worse than serfs. If government claims the right to forty percent of your income, it claims the right to forty percent of your labor, and forty percent of your life. In effect, the people we “elect” have put us on a chain gang until May 10th of every year, working for the bureaucrats. – Joel Turtel
What About The Children Whose Parents Don’t Care? By Theresa Camoriano I am still haunted by an experience I had many years ago, when my girls were young. We were at a McDonald’s having lunch, and the girls were playing in the play-yard. There was a little boy about three years old playing with them. His mother told him it was time to leave, and he ignored her. She then came up to him and started beating him in the head. (click to read more)
Virginia Tech Students Demonstrate October 22-26 to Promote Concealed Carry By Ken Stanton Many of us look back on tragedies and wonder how they could have been prevented. While no one can change the outcomes of past events, everyone should have the opportunity to prepare for future circumstances. (click to read more)
Democrats take charge in the battle for school choice Don’t be surprised if Democrats wind up leading the charge for school choice in Kentucky. They have done it in other states. (click to read more)
CCRKBA SAYS BEST WAY TO STOP SCHOOL SHOOTINGS IS ABOLISH ‘GUN FREE ZONES’ (otherwise known as Victim Disarmament Zones) BELLEVUE, WA
– While anti-gun organizations are demanding that Congress quickly pass new
legislation in response to the Virginia Tech massacre, the Citizens Committee
for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms suggests another approach: Abolish the
concept of “gun free zones.”
Ron Paul Responds to Union Leader Editorial (10/8/07) Any response to this paper's Friday editorial on my foreign policy position must rest on two fundamental assertions: first, that the Founding Fathers were not isolationists; and second, that their political philosophy -- the wisdom of the Constitution, the Declaration, and our Revolution itself -- is not just a primitive cultural relic.

A valuable primer for education reporters (and anyone else searching out the whole story) A book review by Jim Waters “From Contracts to Classrooms: Covering Teachers Unions” (Hechinger Institute, April 2007) is written by seasoned reporters who urge their less-experienced colleagues just beginning to stomp around the education beat to connect what’s occurring at the collective-bargaining table with what’s happening – or not happening – in the classroom.

The Power of Eloquence By Gordon Francis Corbett Here is an excerpt from my paperback copy of "Reflections Without Mirrors," the late attorney Louis Nizer's autobiography. Mr. Nizer was a wonderfully intelligent and well-spoken man. I saw him two or three times on television, and was invariably awed by his terrific proficiency with the English language. My random readings from "Reflections" confirm that he was at least as impressive in print. (click to read more)
The people, not
government, need to sort out the truth
By Jim Waters This week, President Bush said that Congress needs to give him more power to spy on Americans by making changes to the Protect America Act. Did you ever notice they always give these pieces of legislation names you can't disagree with? The "Protect America Act." ... Give it a fair name. At least call it the "Ignore The Constitution Act." — Jay Leno

Anti-gun politicians make thousands of gun laws that restrict a woman’s right to protect herself from a rapist, a homeowner’s right to protect himself from a robber in the middle of the night, or American citizens’ right to protect themselves from a tyrannical government. – Joel Turtel
Many suspect that anxiety about climate change was never really about preventing a global warming – or global cooling – catastrophe. Instead, they say, the real purpose is controlling energy use, economic growth and people’s lives. – Paul Driessen
Since liberals tend to support or oppose policies based on how those policies make them feel about themselves, they do very little intellectual examination of whether the policies they advocate work or not. – John Hawkins
Liberals are happy to give money to this, that, and the other cause, as long as it is other people's money…There's a huge difference between compelling others to perform work you think is important and doing good deeds yourself. – Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson
