“[State controlled] education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” – Joseph Stalin

Competitive Enterprise Institute

"[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)

 

"I view [road building] as a source of boundless patronage to the executive, jobbing to members of Congress & their friends, and a bottomless abyss of public money. You will begin by only appropriating the surplus of the post roads revenues, but the other revenues will soon be called into their aid, and it will be a scene of eternal scramble among the members, who can get the most money wasted in their State; and they will always get most who are meanest." - Thomas Jefferson

Pride, Discrimination, and Fred Thompson            By Theresa Camoriano

Pride - Lately, I am wondering what has happened to pride. Taking pride in your work and your achievements is a good thing, particularly if it spurs you to do good work and to have respect for yourself.  Taking pride in your country, your family, and your community is also a good thing if it makes you appreciate their good qualities and want to improve them.  Unfortunately, it seems that many young people care little about the quality of the work they perform, taking no pride in it at all.  Many people condemn America for its bad points, completely ignoring all its wonderful achievements and characteristics.             (click to read more)

When I grew up in Texas we regularly brought our guns to school with us, especially during hunting season. And you know what else? We made fun of each other, we had rough days, and we got into fights. And no one…with weapons all around…ever brandished a gun and started strafing the crowd. If we had a problem we’d walk into a nearby alley and beat the snot out of each other. It was a beautiful thing. No guns. Just fists of fury. And usually after the scrap the combatants became compadres. – Doug Giles

Grim fairy tales shouldn't fool Kentuckians              By Jim Waters

My young daughters ensure that I’m intimately familiar with the movie “Chicken Little” by making me watch it over and over. This qualifies me to conclude that Gov. Steve Beshear offered a pretty good sequel with his “the-sky-is-falling” speech last week.              (click to read more)

Analysis of the Final New Hampshire Republican Forum ala Fox              -By: Michael A. Minton  

The only way I can even start to describe this forum is to simply say…WOW! I wish we could roll them all up into one “Super Candidate” and put “Superpub” out there in November to take on whomever the Democrats choose. I have to admit, I cannot remember when we had a field of Republicans who looked and sounded this confident and this competent.             (click to read more)

"And now, let us say a few good words for warfare and violence. Those whose mantra is violence-never-solved-anything, are dogma-blinded, historical illiterates who would lead us down the soft path to national suicide. Without warfare and violence, we would have no country. America was born on the battlefield. (George III would never have let us go without a fight.) The Declaration of Independence was noble words penned on paper. It was the sword that gave them a reality. In this instance, the perpetrators of revolutionary violence included John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and George Washington---men of learning and ability all... Without warfare and violence in 1939-1945, today, half the world would be singing 'Deutschland uber Alles,' while the other half bowed to the honorable emperor of Japan. And without warfare and violence during the Cold War, the world would have been swallowed up by a monstrous ideology responsible for 100 million deaths in the 20th century... [M]en with guns suffered and died to preserve and protect a republic where human rights are enshrined. Today, the choice is warfare and violence or total submission to Islamofascism---the annihilation of the Jewish people, the subjugation of women, dhimmi status for those infidels still alive and a world governed by a barbaric desert ethos." ---Don Feder
